The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 series is a higher-end model featuring an aluminum top and durable plastic bottom. It weighs in at about 5.6 pounds. The gorgeous 16" OLED display has a 2.5K 189ppi resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, HDR 1000 True Black certification, and 100% DCI-P3 color range. This particular configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX has a max turbo frequency of 5.1GHz with 16 total cores. According to PassMark, the Core Ultra 7 255HX is Intel's third best mobile gaming chip sitting just below the two Core Ultra 9 models.
The GeForce RTX 5070 is 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070
The mobile RTX 5070 GPU performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces. That's not a very big generational improvement, but the RTX 5070 also supports multi-frame generation, which means the margin will widen in games that support DLSS 4.0. It should have enough power to run most games at a comfortable framerate on the display's enhanced 2560x1600 resolution. If you want a significantly better performing Nvidia GPU, the next step up is the RTX 5070 Ti GPU. While it does offer a pretty reasonable performance upgrade, prepare to pay hundreds of dollars more.
