The Lenovo Legion 5 (2021) is a well-priced gaming laptop that offers excellent performance with the Ryzen 7 5800H and Nvidia RTX configuration, making it a great choice for gamers. The 15.6-inch 1080p 165Hz screen has a decent gamut for a gaming laptop and the keyboard is comfortable to type on. The laptop has a plastic build, with a blue or stingray white finish, and is a bit heavy at 2.5 kilos, or 3.5 kilos with the power cable. The screen response time is not the best at just under seven milliseconds, and the battery life could be improved. The laptop also has a 720p camera with a physical switch for privacy. The Legion 5 offers good connectivity options but may be difficult to open for upgrades. The laptop is a bit louder under heavy load, and the fans are audible in higher performance modes. Despite some minor drawbacks, the Legion 5 (2021) is a great gaming laptop for the price, offering solid performance and a comfortable user experience.
