Legion Pro 5 16-inch gaming laptop

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is a 16-inch gaming laptop in Eclipse Black that targets competitive players and content creators who need high frame rates and colour-accurate visuals. It runs Windows 11 Home on an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX processor from the Ryzen 8000 series, paired with 16GB DDR5 memory and a 1TB solid-state drive. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card with 8GB GDDR7 video memory drives the 16.0-inch WQXGA IPS panel at 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. Non-touch screen keeps the focus on fast response.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The Ryzen 9 8945HX and RTX 5060 share a dual-fan vapour-chamber cooling system that keeps surface temperatures comfortable during extended gaming sessions. Fan curves stay quiet during light productivity work and ramp up smoothly under load without sudden spikes. Power draw scales with workload, so the 1TB SSD and 16GB DDR5 draw minimal energy when the system is idle. The 240 Hz panel can be limited to lower refresh rates to reduce GPU power when battery life matters.

Build fit and expansion

A single 16GB DDR5 module leaves one SO-DIMM slot open for a straightforward memory upgrade. The 1TB drive occupies one M.2 slot; a second M.2 slot is available for additional storage without removing the primary drive. The chassis includes USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and Ethernet ports, so external monitors, peripherals and wired networking connect directly without dongles. The 16.0-inch footprint fits standard 16-inch laptop sleeves and backpacks.
