The progress that computer manufacturers have made in recent years with the built-in AI capabilities for laptops has led to the fact that more and more mid-range computers in the gamer category already more than just meet the expectations of the classic gamer, and present excellent performance, especially if they are also equipped with an extremely powerful graphics card.

One of those laptops is the Lenovo Legion 5, a powerful laptop designed for gamers and content creators. It is equipped with an Intel Core i9 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, which provide excellent performance for games and demanding tasks. The 16-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1600 with a refresh rate of 165Hz offers a sharp image and vivid colors. The laptop's good performance also comes thanks to its fast SSD and memory (32GB) drives, which speed up the system's activity and provide a storage volume of up to 1 Tera.

The design of the Legion 5 is modern and professional, with an aluminum structure with a matte finish. The computer weighs about 2.46 kg, which makes it relatively heavy compared to other laptops, but still portable enough for daily use. The ColdFront 5.0 ventilation system includes two fans that work in opposite directions, a Hyper chamber and enlarged ventilation openings, which ensures efficient cooling and maintaining high performance even during rush hour.

The significant advantage of these models is that they are powered by the Lenovo AI Engine+, which upgrades your game in real time, pushing the FPS to the maximum for smooth animations and quick reactions that leverage you over your opponents. In addition, the laptop comes with the Legion TrueStrike gaming keyboard. A full-sized keyboard that also boasts arrow keys and a full-sized number pad and large touchpad. Custom RGB lighting powered by Legion Spectrum lets you create a custom lighting environment while gaming.

The computer is equipped with a wide variety of ports and inputs, including 3 USB-A ports, 2 USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet (RJ-45) port, a combined headphone/microphone jack and a 3-in-1 card reader. The computer's battery life is about 6.5 hours when watching video at 1080p resolution and 150 nit brightness, with support for Rapid Charge Pro technology for a 50% fast charge in 30 minutes.

The computer's audio system includes two stereophonic speakers with a power of 2W each, with Nahimic Audio technology that provides a rich and detailed audio experience, with an advanced Realtek audio chip.

Overall the Legion 5 puts in a strong performance thanks to the advanced processor and graphics card. It has a high-quality screen with a high refresh rate and a solid and professional design. Additional advantages are the AI capabilities, which improve the gaming experience, the comfortable keyboard with RGB backlighting, an advanced ventilation system and a wide range of connections. Its disadvantages include relatively heavy weight, average battery life and fan noise during high load.
