The best takeaway from watching Lenovo’s latest launch of their Legion gaming laptops is probably “savage”. There was no subtlety at all as they lunged for the word every opportunity they got. Not that it wasn’t justified though, as these were truly powerful gaming machines. Personally though, what separates Lenovo from the rest of the pack is their 3-Year Accidental Damage Protection and 3-Year Legion Ultimate Support, which is the best standard warranty in the market. Given that, if I were in the market for a gaming or content creation laptop right now, I’d probably be picking from any one of the machines below.
Lenovo Legion 5i
For most folks with a reasonable budget, you might be looking for something like the Lenovo Legion 5i. Whether you’re studying, a professional, or just want to stay connected, the Legion 5i can be paired with up to a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor. When it’s playtime, you can game with up to the latest NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060.
Whether you’re enjoying your favorite movie or fragging enemies in multiplayer, the 15-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS 16:9 display has you covered, while its 165Hz refresh rate ensures silky smooth framerates. Add to that Dolby Vision with 100% sRGB color accuracy and you’ll be able to consume and output everything the way it was meant to be consumed.
Of course, it isn’t just about cramming as many performance components possible into a laptop as you have to keep everything cool in a tight space. The Legion 5i comes with improved stealth cooling that, while quiet, still offers a fan that’s 40% more powerful with 45% larger exhaust than the previous generation.
All this is wrapped in a Storm Grey all-metal chassis. It too is both thinner and lighter than the previous generation. And while you might think grey to be a boring color, it comes with a choice between 4-zone RGB or white backlighting thanks to the new Legion Spectrum RGB Lighting solution, in-house software that controls the Legion TrueStrike keyboard.
Starting at Php89,995, it comes in at a price point
Lenovo Legion 5i Pro
Of course, if you want to step up from the Legion 5i in terms of performance, the Legion 5i Pro offers a larger 16-inch 2960 x 1600 IPS display in 16:10 format with 100% sRGB color gamut and 3ms response time. It too supports Dolby Vision as well.
While you still get the 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor, the GPU is upgraded with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070Ti. You’re also getting improved memory bandwidth thanks to 4800Mhz DDR5 memory, as well as fast 1TB 1TB PCle SSD (Gen4) of storage.
Cooling is likewise not an afterthought. It features a larger exhaust area and an improved penta heat pipe layout to help lower surface temperatures and keep the Legion 5i Pro cooler to the touch. It also offers improved noise suppression thanks to Legion Coldfront 4.0 and a noise-insulated chassis.
The Legion 7i Pro is also available in Storm Grey and comes with the new Legion Spectrum RGB Lighting, starting at Php119,995.
