Having released its Intel-powered Legion 5 gaming laptops earlier this year in India, the latest AMD-powered Legion 5 lineup with dedicated Nvidia GPUs was launched by Lenovo on Tuesday.
Shailendra Katyal, the Executive Director of Consumer PCSD at Lenovo India, said in a statement announcing the launch: "With the AMD powered Legion 5, we are expanding this high-performance range to provide a superior gaming experience by offering an immersive visual experience and a style that meets the requirements of a modern-day gamer."
Lenovo Legion 5: Specifications and Features
AMD's hexa-core, 12-threaded Ryzen 5 4600H CPU clocked at up to 3GHz with Max Boost of up to 4GHz is powered by the new Lenovo Legion 5 gaming laptop. In addition to up to 4GB of DDR6 RAM, up to 256GB of SSD M.2 NVMe storage, and a 1TB HDD, there is also a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti discrete GPU. In order to minimise screen-tearing and in-game latency, the laptop also boasts a 15.6-inch IPS 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Lenovo Legion 5 laptop is fitted with the company's 'TrueStrike keyboard' with backlight,' Coldfront 2.0' custom thermal performance cooling, and an enhanced battery life that, thanks to smart power management features such as Lenovo Vantage, the company claims can yield up to 8 hours of game time. For fast charging, the unit also comes with 'Rapid Charge Pro' and Lenovo Q-Control 3.0 for regulating system voltage and fan speed.
Other hardware capabilities include a built-in 720p HD webcam for enhanced protection with a privacy shutter. Two 2W Harman Kardon speakers and Dolby Atmos headphone support are also available for the unit. Wi-Fi 802.11 axe and Bluetooth 5.0.0 are included in the networking options. The unit is 363 x 259 x 22-24 mm in height and weights 2,3 kilogrammes. On the official Lenovo website you can find out all the details.
