For 2021, Lenovo is making a fairly straightforward redesign on its Legion laptops, especially on this Legion 5 Pro series. Indeed, if the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H (82JQ0019FR) preserves most of the aesthetics observed on the Legion 5 of 2020 with its aluminum case , the sobriety of setting previously gives way to a markedly racy bias. The contrast of colors, gray (storm gray) on the cover and the front and black on the rear, goes in this direction and gives the PC a more imposing look. This is a simple impression because the measurements of the Legion 5 Pro do not move that much compared to its predecessor, even though it gains a few 0.4 inches of screen diagonal.

Its size is small (356 mm against 363 mm on the Legion 5) but it stretches 5 mm on the depth and preserves a fineness of 26 mm without gaining weight (2.4 kg). Its lid houses two ridges that frame a central, minimalist but imposing Legion logo, while the back of the base is much more intimidating with its protruding vents. The keyboard adds a little color to the whole thanks to an RGB backlighting on 4 zones .

The screen is probably the centerpiece here. It applies on a slab of 16 inches to refresh 165Hz , enough to enjoy a vivid rendering in action. Following the trend, he opted for a particularly convincing edge-to-edge design, amplified by the IPS panel and its wide viewing angles. In addition, the WQXGA definition (Retina, 2560 x 1600 px)offers a very appreciable display finesse for gamers and creatives with an additional argument, 100% sRGB colorimetry and HDR 400 with a beautiful max brightness. of 500 nits. Finally, the anti-glare treatment prevents ambient light from being reflected on the screen, improving playing comfort (especially in dark scenes). Note that the screen can be opened flat, convenient for sharing content with those around you or for sliding the PC onto your setup, under an external screen for example.

The connections of the Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H are distributed mainly on the back and on each side. Only 1 USB 3.2 port and a USB 3.2 Type-C port dress the sides with the headphone jack. The rear gathers everything else: an HDMI 2.1 port, three more USB 3.2 ports, an additional USB Type-C Gen2 port, an RJ45 Ethernet port, the power jack and a lock. The interfaces offered are worthy of a gaming PC at this level even if the card reader is absent, the mini-DisplayPort has disappeared and Thunderbolt 3 is not on the program. The wireless modules offer Wifi 6 (802.11 ax) and Bluetooth 5.1. There is no biometric login option (Windows Hello).

Performance, battery life of Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H (82JQ0019FR)

In the spotlight, we find the GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cardgeneration Ampere (2021). This is a high-end GPU capable of meeting the needs of very demanding gamers, exceeding the capabilities of a GeForce RTX 2080 Turing. It is able to ensure smooth rendering on all of the user\’s favorite games, by taking advantage of Ray-Tracing on compatible games with sharp details and a high FPS count. The RTX 3070 is also valuable for software exploiting GPU computing power in accelerating processing, even if the gain in this profile is not necessarily obvious compared to an RTX 3060. This is for example the case in multimedia under Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere / Photoshop, which will interest creators, especially with 8 GB GDDR6 of dedicated memory.

Opposite, we do not have just any processor. This is an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H Octo Core Cezanne (2021). It is only just beginning to be deployed, but its performance is already being talked about. Indeed, it delivers enough to satisfy the most demanding of you with capacities close to those of an Intel Core i9-9880H Octo Core and anyway much higher than those of an Intel Hexa Core (i7 -10750H). In fact, tasks capable of using the 8 cores, such as certain content creation, 3D modeling or video editing software, will find the perfect working support here.

In support, the 16 GB of RAM ensure smooth multitasking for gaming and everyday use. It is possible to upgrade the RAM up to 32 GB.

For its part, the storage is entrusted to a 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD which will significantly enhance the overall responsiveness of the system on a daily basis. Overall quieter, more robust and more energy efficient than a mechanical disk, it allows Windows to achieve a remarkable level of fluidity with short load times and a performance without latencies. What is more, its capacity is nothing short of ridiculous and can accommodate a good part of your game library even if some will not find it sufficient. In this case, you can perfectly open the PC and upgrade the components. A 2.5-inch bay is logically free inside.

A word finally on the battery which is provided on this model with a good capacity (80 Whr), enough to easily reach 8 hours of battery life while being limited to low-consumption tasks (basic surfing, Office suite, etc.). It\’s amazing for this type of energy-hungry gaming PC. Valuable, the RapidCharge Pro feature allows the Legion to regain 50% charge in less than 30 minutes.
