Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 vs Lenovo Legion 5 15IRX10 Gaming Laptop

The Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 is the safer buy for most people: a new-condition 16-inch machine with a 2560 x 1600 panel, Ethernet, USB-C, a touchscreen option and a 7-hour battery rating. The Legion 5 15IRX10 pairs a faster Core i9-14900HX with an RTX 5070 in a lighter 4.2 lb chassis, but it is refurbished, lists no OS in its name, and its listed ports stop at HDMI. Pick the Pro 5 for a dependable all-rounder; pick the 15IRX10 only if raw CPU and GPU power in a lighter body matters more than condition and connectivity.

• Choose the Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 if you want a new 16-inch laptop with Ethernet, USB-C, a sharper big screen and a rated 7-hour battery for school, work and gaming.
• Choose the Legion 5 15IRX10 if you want the strongest processor and GPU here in a lighter 15-inch body and are comfortable with a refurbished unit.
