You do get the taller 16:10 16-inch display on this series, with smaller bezels all around and a nicer quality of plastic used for these bezels. There’s still a camera at the top, and microphones. No IR, though, and no fingerprint reader. The power button is also identical to the one on the standard Legion 5 lineup, with the colored always-on LED in it. On the other hand, this is only FHD resolution, it’s not a very bright panel, so it might not suffice outdoors or in brightness environments, and it’s not wide-gamut either, so might not do for certain color-accurate workloads. But it’s still a fair option for this sort of mid-tier laptop, even at the higher price tag of the 3060/3070 configurations. Unfortunately, Lenovo doesn’t offer a 3060 configuration of the Legion 5 in all markets, but if that’s available in your region, if competitively priced and if the gaming performance sits high on your list of priorities, I’d surely consider going with this 3060 configuration over the 3050Ti. We’ll also discuss the choice between the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors down below, as well as the Intel alternatives on the Legion 5i.

Also, here for the 3070 model at around 1500: pcgarage.ro/notebook-laptop/lenovo/gaming-16-legion-5-pro-16ach6h-wqxga-ips-165hz-g-sync-procesor-amd-ryzen-7-5800h-16m-cache-up-to-44-ghz-16gb-ddr4-1tb-ssd-geforce-rtx-3070-8gb-no-os-stingray/It perhaps doesn’t feel as nice as the Legion 5 Pro or Legion 7 lineups as this is entirely made out of plastic, but with a rougher finishing that feels stronger than the kind used on the previous Legion 5 generation, which Id’ expect should age well. It does show smudges and fingerprints on this dark-blue variant that we have here. The fans are still fairly noisy on this 5 Pro, as they ramp up to 50 dB on the Performance mode in the combined tests. You can always opt for the Balanced and Quiet modes if you want to, and we’ll get to them in a bit.

The fans average between sub 30 dBA noise levels with light use and up to 44 dB with combined taxing loads on this Quiet profile, and the performance takes a slight toll, but not a significant one, as you can tell based on these results down below.
