Our take on the Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop
The Legion 5 is Lenovo's mainstream 15.6-inch gaming laptop, built around a dedicated Nvidia GPU and a full-power CPU rather than the low-wattage parts in thin-and-light rivals. Its draw is a 15.6-inch high-refresh display, a comfortable keyboard with RGB backlighting, and a cooling system with dual fans and rear and side vents that holds performance steadier than slimmer machines. It suits gamers and students who want desktop-class frame rates and don't mind carrying around 2.4 kg. Against the Asus TUF and Acer Nitro lines it is generally the better-built and cooler-running option, though heavier than an ultraportable and louder under load.

Questions and answers
- Is the Legion 5 good for modern games?
- Yes. Its dedicated Nvidia GPU runs current titles at high settings on the 15.6-inch display. Expect to lower settings on the most demanding new releases.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The Legion 5 has accessible memory slots and a spare M.2 drive bay, so both can be expanded after purchase.
- How loud is it while gaming?
- Fans are audible under sustained load. In everyday tasks it stays quiet, and the cooling is what keeps frame rates steady.
- How long does the battery last?
- Light use gets several hours, but gaming on battery drains it quickly. Treat it as a plug-in machine for games.
- Is it too heavy to carry to class?
- It weighs about 2.4 kg plus the power brick, so it is fine in a backpack but noticeable on long walks. A thin-and-light it is not.
- Does it have RGB lighting?
- Yes. The keyboard is RGB backlit, which you can customize per key in Lenovo's software.
