Lenovo Legion 5 Gaming Laptop (2025) — All-rounder in the 50–60 thousand range

When it comes to gaming laptops, Lenovo Legion is often at the top of the list. For a long time, there was a strange demand for Legion in the 50-60 thousand range in the comments section. Finally, Lenovo has brought the new Legion 5, which is better than the previous generation in terms of performance, design, upgrade options and thermal management. In today’s review, we will see how powerful the new Legion 5 really is and why it is ahead of the others at this price.

First impression upon opening the box — surprisingly clean presentation

The first thing you notice upon opening the box is Legion’s familiar “minimal yet premium” packaging. There are some standard books inside, but honestly, who reads those? The main thing is the charging adapter and power cord.

This 245W adapter is as powerful as the previous ones, but relatively compact. It doesn’t feel too heavy in the hand. Both the cushioning and packaging are quite solid.

Design — Black Beauty in black, more compact new 15.3″ form

As soon as you take the laptop out of the box, you can see that Lenovo has taken a more minimalist approach to design.

• Even though the entire body is ABS polycarbonate, the texture is very premium.
• The new Legion branding in the middle is much more attractive than before.
• Three large exhaust vents at the back, with a port in the middle—great placement.
• The entire laptop looks like the Black Edition—not overly fancy while maintaining the gaming vibe.

Weight loss—this time only 2.1 kg

Weight reduction is rare in gaming laptops, but the Legion 5 now weighs in at 2.1 kg. Previous models were 2.4–2.5 kg. The total weight including the charger is around 2.8 kg, which is very good in this category.

Hinge quality—The Legion series’ familiar strong hinge. Can be opened with one hand. No wobble.

Display — 15.3″ screen, 180° opening and comfort-first dimensions

Lenovo has used a 15.3-inch display this time, which is slightly smaller than the 16-inch but feels more compact for everyday use.
The display can be rotated up to 180°—a signature feature of the Legion series.

The color reproduction, brightness, and overall viewing experience are good enough to keep everyone—students, editors, and gamers—happy.

Hardware Specifications — New Gen4 CPU + RTX 50 Series GPU = Monster Power

CPU: 4nm Zen4 Architecture

It’s rare to see a power-efficient CPU in a gaming laptop at this price.
But the new Legion 5 has a 4nm Zen4 based processor, which—

• At low power consumption
• Higher performance
• Low heat generation

Able to.

GPU: RTX 50-Series Black Whale Architecture (8GB)

The main highlight of the article—the RTX50 series GPU.

• DLSS 4 support
• Multi-Frame Generation

• Geekbench OpenCL: 100,000+
• Blender GPU + CPU test: Very good optimization

Multi-core performance and real-time rendering—both powerful.

Upgrade Options — The True Power of the Legion

Upgrade options are essential for students, developers, and content creators.

Here—

• 2× SSD slot (1TB + additional 1TB can be installed)

Gaming Test — DLSS 4 + Frame Gen = Frame Rate Soars

Game testing is the most exciting part of this review.

Long-term gaming or rendering can be done without fear.
