The Lenovo Legion 5 is a great gaming laptop that I can easily configure to my needs. I adjust the RGB lighting and choose the laptop's performance mode via the LegionSpace app. I also see all the details of my favorite games razor-sharp and realistic on the screen, so I always have my opponent in my sights. The laptop's casing and screen are a bit prone to fingerprints, as they're easily visible.
First Impression
The laptop has a 15.1-inch screen. This makes it a good size for someone with small hands. It is a bit heavy, weighing 2 kilograms. The charger is also quite large, making it harder to carry. Fortunately, I mainly game at home. I have noticed that I easily see fingerprints on the casing, which I can easily wipe off with a cloth.
Enjoyable RGB Lighting and Useful Features
This Legion 5 laptop has a backlit keyboard, making it easy to game in the dark. The RGB lighting lets me game in style. Using the LegionSpace app, I can choose from seven pre-set RGB patterns. I also create my own patterns with different colors, making it easy to choose the lighting I like and enjoy for each game. I also set the performance optimization in the LegionSpace app, which allows you to control how hard the processor and graphics card work. The app has four different modes, ensuring the Legion laptop always performs well and is fast. I can also tell which mode I'm using by the on/off button, which changes color to match the mode I'm currently using.
Fluid and colorful screen
While gaming, everything looks smooth, sharp, and colorful. Thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate, I see fast-moving monsters and enemies fly by seamlessly. Because the screen doesn't stutter, I have plenty of time to shoot enemies quickly. In-game, I see all the colors clearly thanks to the OLED panel. The screen is glossy, though, so I have to rotate the laptop occasionally to avoid glare. Fortunately, that's a minor inconvenience. In the game, I can still see all the details clearly in dark tunnels and dark nights, because this screen uses DisplayHDR True Black 1000 color technology. This allows me to quickly spot well-hidden monsters.
