Our take on the Lenovo Legion 5a 15.3" Gaming Laptop

The Legion 5a is Lenovo's mid-range 15.3-inch gaming laptop, built around an octa-core CPU, an NVIDIA GPU and a 2560 x 1600 display. It is light for a gaming machine at about 4.1 lb, and it keeps a full set of ports: USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet and a headphone jack. The 60Hz panel and 8 GB of RAM are the weak spots; rivals in this class usually pair a sharper screen with a faster refresh and 16 GB of memory. It suits casual and esports players who want a portable machine and can add RAM later, since it supports up to 64 GB.

Questions and answers

Is the 60Hz screen a problem for gaming?
For esports and fast shooters, yes; a higher refresh rate feels smoother. For slower, story-driven games the 60Hz panel is fine, and the 2560 x 1600 resolution looks sharp.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. The laptop supports up to 64 GB of RAM, so you can add memory to fix the 8 GB starting point. The 512 GB drive can also be swapped for a larger one.
How does it compare with other Legion 5 models?
This 5a trades a high-refresh screen for a lighter body and a sharper 60Hz panel. Other Legion 5 versions offer faster displays but weigh more.
Is it good for school and everyday work?
Yes. The octa-core CPU and sharp screen handle documents, browsing and video well, and it is light enough to carry to class.
What ports does it have?
USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. That covers external monitors, wired internet and most peripherals without a dock.
Does it run Windows?
Yes, it ships with Windows.
