Title: The best mainstream gamer in 2025 - Lenovo Legion 5 15 Laptop Review
Post by: Redaktion on July 01, 2025, 12:01:33
Lenovo ships its mainstream gamer with the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop as well as a 165 Hz OLED panel, which offers excellent image quality. However, the processor is an AMD Zen 4 chip, so does it affect the gaming performance?

this hardware is scam. Nothing added over a 4070 laptop with almost the same price.

No VRR is a HUGE miss for this kind of laptop.

Not having Advanced Optimus is such a deal breaker. Can it not switch to iGPU mode only after unplugging from the charger automatically?

Hi! Can you tell me your take on the missing OLED Care features like Pixel shift, Pixel Clean, etc on this years whole Legion OLED Laptops? After talking with Lenovo, they basically confirmed there is just features like auto wallpaper changing, dark mode, taskbar hiding and so. For me this is really concerning regarding burn in preventions and I think it's very important for potential buyers to be aware, as Lenovo is somehow hiding this.

Haven't seen NikoB in comments lately.
This shitty screen deserves his attention 😂

Unfortunately, after his off-topic excesses and sometimes overly harsh criticism of moderators, he is effectively censored by the admins. I and more of us also miss his on-topic contributions.

That's unfortunate.
Sometimes I found his comments more informative and entertaining than the article in question😂

I am not sure why there are so many negative comments here. With discounts, this was a really good price. I paid under $1500 CAD for this model (less with cashback) - for an equivalent of around $1000USD. I have always turned off Advanced Optimus (hate the ~2 sec freezes as it switches between iGPU and dGPU), lack of VRR is understandable at the price point, and the performance you're getting with an OLED display is phenomenal.

Thanks for the review. Will be another best seller with the option of both IPS and OLED to suit whoever wants what.
There rarely is any other brand laptops in the same price range as Lenovo in India if you factor in all the extra savings.
