For what is worth, the 3050 or 3050Ti variants on this laptop come with a mid-sized and lighter 230W charger.

These can get fairly loud, at 80+ dBA at ear-level, but the quality isn’t much, especially on the lower end. Overall, while I do mostly appreciate the design and ergonomics of the series, there is one aspect that I’m not fond of: the lid design with the lit Y logo in the middle.We do not share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we do not sell your information to others.

To me, they are, although I would have preferred a Quiet profile that would have kept the fans under 40 dB.

Somehow, these findings differ from what we experienced on the Legion 5, which kept the fans active all the time. I wish Lenovo would implement a more usable mid-level Balanced profile and a more stable Quiet mode that doesn’t limit the CPU as aggressively, to prevent the stuttering that we noticed in our tests. On the noise side, the fans tend to keep at around 36-40 dB for the most part, but still, occasionally ramp up to 43-44 dB in titles such as Far Cry 5.On the CPU side, sure, the Ryzen 5 scores lower in most of the synthetic tests, but in real use, in mixed-loads, the differences are smaller than expected. You can charge the laptop via USB-C as well, just be aware that it’s going to run at full capabilities when plugged in this way. However, most of the fresh air comes in through the bottom intakes into the fans, and these intakes are chocked by the small-profile rubber feet while the laptop sits on a desk, as shown in the previous section.

stress runs the same test for 20 times in a loop and looks for performance variation and degradation over time, and this unit passed it fine, which suggests there are no significant performance losses that might be caused by thermal throttling on this laptop. By default, it applies a +100 MHz Clock +200 MHz Memory overclock, but you can fiddle more with the settings if you want to. My previous laptops over last 15 years were all over 3kg (up to 3,79) without the power supply, so I was quite shocked when this arrived on my desk. However, as I mentioned earlier, this Legion 5 Pro is a big boy full-size computer, so fairly thick and especially heavy, at nearly 2.TrueStrike delivers a superior layout with dedicated media keys, number pad, larger arrow keys and one-piece trackpad illuminated with a crisp white or optional RGB backlight. The CPU performance is not significantly impacted by the GPU overclock, yet the CPU scores tend to drop a little bit in our tests, so I’d suggest opting for the overclock if you’re primarily looking to maximize the GPU performance on your system.

That aside, the fans keep active with daily use all the time and never idle on any of the profiles, regardless of the laptop runs on battery or is plugged in. Oh, and there’s another FHD 120Hz screen option available for the lower-tier configurations of the Legion 5.With the all-new AMD Ryzen™ 5000 H-Series Mobile Processors, you can enjoy the best competitive gaming performance on a thin and light notebook with amazing battery life.
