Is the Legion Pro 5 good for 1440p gaming?

Yes. The 2560 x 1600 screen and RTX GPU with 8GB GDDR7 handle most modern titles at high settings, though the newest games may need upscaling or lowered settings.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. The Legion Pro 5 has accessible SO-DIMM slots and a second M.2 slot, so you can add memory and a second SSD yourself.

How does it compare with the Legion Pro 5i?

The Pro 5i uses an Intel Core CPU instead of the Ryzen 9 9955HX. Performance is close; the AMD model tends to run cooler per core, while the Intel version offers different port and Thunderbolt options.

Is 16GB of RAM enough?

For gaming alone it is workable, but 32GB is the safer choice if you stream, edit video or keep many browser tabs open while playing.

How long does the battery last?

Expect only a few hours of light use and well under two hours of gaming. Plan on keeping the power brick nearby.

What comes in the box?

The laptop, a power adapter and cable, and the usual paperwork. A mouse and headset are not included.

About the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gaming Laptop Ryzen 9 9955HX RTX 8GB GDDR7

The Legion Pro 5 is Lenovo's 16-inch mainstream gaming laptop, here built around AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX and an Nvidia RTX GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. The 2560 x 1600 screen, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD put it in line with rivals like the Asus ROG Strix G16 and Acer Predator Helios 16, though those often ship with more RAM at the same tier. At 5.5 lb it is portable enough for a desk-to-dorm commute. Owners praise the screen and cooling headroom but many complain about fan noise, short battery life and the 16GB of RAM in a machine this powerful.
