A Detailed Review Of The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021) Laptop
The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021) falls within the lower mid-range category of gaming laptops, positioned above the budget-focused Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (2021) but below the Legion 5 Pro and Legion 7 in Lenovo’s product lineup.
Sharing a similar design, user experience, and configuration options with the IdeaPad Gaming 3, the Legion 5 distinguishes itself by offering an additional QHD display choice and more powerful GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 and AMD Radeon RX 6600M GPU. Unlike the IdeaPad Gaming 3, the Legion 5 features a MUX switch, and its GPUs operate at a higher wattage, enhancing overall performance.
The Lenovo Legion 5 proves to be an excellent choice for a workstation, equipped with robust CPUs and GPUs capable of handling demanding tasks like video editing, programming, or 3D rendering. While the fans can become noticeably loud under heavy load, there’s no apparent throttling on the CPU or GPU, ensuring optimal performance during sustained workloads. The laptop boasts a diverse port selection, including HDMI 2.1 and numerous USB ports, minimizing the need for additional docking stations for peripherals. Although the memory and storage drive are user-replaceable, accessing the internal components is not a straightforward task.
