Review – Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05 – AMD Ryzen 7 4800H – ENGLISH Version

Scris de: , in categoria: Notebook, in 19 June, 2020.

Under the hood

 
To better understand the difference between the two possible configurations in terms of battery and storage solution, we have included below a series of images with Lenovo Legion 5i 15IMH05, on the left, which is using the 60Wh battery and a 2.5 “storage unit. On the right you can see what Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05 looks like, with the large 78Wh battery and two NVMe slots.

In both cases we were impressed with the solid cooling system, which covers both the CPU and the GPU, as well as the chipset, RAM and NVMe SSD. Legion 5 has larger diameter fans than Y540, with 67 liquid-crystal polymer blades, 3 heatpipes and two generously sized radiators.

    Thanks for another great review, thinking about getting this laptop for development first/gaming second. Please can you give your thoughts on this…
    1) Can the memory be expanded up to 32GB of memory with 2x16GB sticks
    2) Can you switch to the IGP and if so what is the affect on temp/battery life?
    3) Can you work with it on your lap if not playing an GPU intensive game (not too hot )?
    4) What is the keyboard like for touch typing?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Andrew,

    I am glad you like it.

    1 – as far as I know yes, to do have access to the memory and you can use 2 x 16GB sticks

    2 – Not so sure about that

    3 – When you are not doing heavy duty stuff you can use it in your lap, but that is not recommended in general with laptops that have the intake on the bottom side

    4 – I found the keyboard to be very pleasant in daily use, ferm but precise

    Hey Monstru, keep on the great job.
    Would you recommend the Tuf A15 or Legion 5 for build quality and thermals?
    99 degrees sounds really toasty. I plan to use the laptop for work in civil engineering so good cpu usage and a decent graphics is advised.

    TUF A15 is in the same line with IdeaPad Gaming 3. Legion 5 is in the superior segment, with the ROG models.

    Hi, thank you for the great review. I’m considering to buy a new laptop and this Legion 5 is among the top options. I have a couple of questions:
    1. Is the 2nd NVME slot accessible? (i.e. the bigger battery is not blocking it?) because in Lenovo website’s customization page, when I choose 1st drive to be NVME, 78Wh battery is automatically selected and the 2nd drive option is greyed out.
    2. What is the panel used in the display? And its sRGB coverage?

    very good review , will you make a review for the new Lenovo legion 5 paired with rtx 2060 , especially the thermals in gaming , thanks in advance

    Tuann – for a full size second NVMe yes, you need a different battery. The panel on the sample we tested is BOE NV156FHM-NY4, with 100% sRGB. But there are 2 or 3 panel options available for Legion 5 if I am not mistaking.

    Blue ocean – since we already reviewed Legion 5 I would say the chances are pretty slim.
