In our Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (highest settings), the Legion Pro 5i (Gen 8) closely matched its Gen 7 predecessor (Core i7-12700H, RTX 3070 Ti, 1600p) and the Gigabyte Aorus 15X (Core i9-13900HX, RTX 4070, 1440p). I also averaged around 52 fps in Red Dead Redemption 2 in most scenarios (1600p, Ultra setting), dipping down to the mid-40s when there was a lot of action happening on the screen. I played Overwatch 2 at 1600p resolution with the ultra settings enabled, and the on-screen stats panel pegged right up against 165 fps the entire time I was playing during online skirmishes. The Legion Pro 5i’s 16-inch display has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 with a 165 Hz refresh rate, but we also tested it at 1080p for our gaming tests. This is one of the first laptops we've seen with an RTX 4060, so while we're testing it against some more powerful cards, that's more to show its place in the lineup. Our review unit came from Lenovo configured with an Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. Gaming Performance on the Legion Pro 5i (Gen 8) Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (Gen 8) Specifications For comparison, the Asus ROG Strix G16 comes in at 113.94 x 10.39 x 0.89 inches and 5.6 pounds, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15X is 14.1 x 10.8 x 0.78 inches and weighs 5.73 pounds. However, the Gen 8 is also about 0.1 pounds heavier than the Gen 7 as configured. However, most of the ports reside on the back panel, which include two more USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Type-C, HDMI 2.1, ethernet and a proprietary power port.ĭimensionally, the Legion Pro 5i (Gen 8) measures 14.3 x 10.25 x 0.88 inches, which is nearly identical to the Legion Pro 5i (Gen 7). Moving to the left side, you’ll find a USB 3.2 Type-C port and another USB 3.2 Type-A port.

(The latter enables an electronic shutter that essentially disables the webcam for privacy.) Lenovo said it went this route because the thin bezels around the display don’t allow for a physical privacy shutter.

There’s a 3.5 mm headphone jack, USB 3.2 Type-A port and an e-shutter slider on the right side of the chassis.
