Apologies in advance if this is not the most action-packed hardware review youve ever read.
Actually, there is one unusual thing about the Legion 5.
This restrained approach has informed the design as much as anything.
Still, at least it works well enough to stop the keyboard getting too toasty.
Albeit a dinky one.
As such, its got enough more than enough punch for AAA work.
Not every game will suit its maximum controls, asMetro Exodusdemonstrated.
The addition of Ultra-quality ray tracing effects saw it barely keep its head above water, with 31fps.
It took a drop down to High quality, without RT effects, to average 64fps.
Then again, maybe it doesnt need to be.
Maybe not much more than that, but never any less.
Random 4K results are a little better by comparison, averaging 44MB/s for reads and 120MB/s for writes.
The Legion 5’s only outright failure is battery life.
Here, the Legion 5 emptied a full charge in just 52 minutes.
