Our take on the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16" WQXGA Laptop
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is a 16-inch gaming laptop built around a WQXGA (2560x1600) 16:10 display and a high-wattage Intel or AMD processor paired with a discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics chip. It is a mainstream performance machine: strong frame rates in current games, a fast high-refresh screen, and a chassis that runs heavier and louder than thin-and-light rivals. It suits gamers and students who want desktop-class performance and a big sharp screen without paying flagship prices. Against rivals like the Asus ROG Strix G16 and Acer Predator Helios Neo 16, it trades a bit of portability and battery life for raw performance per dollar and a comfortable keyboard.
- Sharp WQXGA 16:10 panel with a fast refresh rate
- Strong RTX graphics performance for current games
- Comfortable keyboard with a full number pad
- Good port selection, including USB-C and HDMI
- User-upgradable RAM and storage

Questions and answers
- Is the WQXGA screen worth it over a standard 1080p panel?
- Yes for most buyers. The 2560x1600 resolution is noticeably sharper for games and text, and the 16:10 shape gives more vertical room. It also asks more of the GPU, so expect to lower settings on the most demanding titles.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The Legion Pro 5 has accessible memory slots and an open M.2 slot on most configurations, so you can add RAM and a second SSD yourself.
- How does it compare with the Legion Pro 5i?
- The Pro 5i uses an Intel processor and the Pro 5 uses an AMD one. Gaming performance is close; pick whichever configuration has the better GPU, since graphics matter more than the CPU here.
- Is it good for schoolwork and everyday use?
- Yes. The large screen and keyboard suit writing and spreadsheets, but the weight and short battery life make it a poor fit for carrying between classes all day.
- Does it run hot?
- It runs warm under load, as gaming laptops do, and the fans ramp up to compensate. On a desk with good ventilation it stays within normal operating temperatures.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop and its power adapter. It does not include a mouse or a sleeve.
