The 720p webcam doesn’t have Windows Hello login but it does have a privacy shutter, and the speakers are fine for media and gaming, although they’re a bit muddy. On the inside, the Lenovo has Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, and the rest of the machine’s features are unsurprising. There’s a future-proofed HDMI 2.1 port, too, although the RTX 3060 GPU won’t keep up with its potential bandwidth in many games. Pleasingly, most of the ports are at the rear, where you’ll find another USB-C port that adds power delivery alongside two more USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one of which is always on. The right-hand side has the audio jack and a full-size USB port – always an irritation when most people are right-handed and will use a mouse. The Legion’s left-hand edge has a Thunderbolt 4 port and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection, both of which tackle DisplayPort and power delivery. Still, it’s not so big that you can’t sling it into a bag. Lenovo’s laptop pedigree can be seen through the Legion’s great build quality, too, although the 5i does weigh 2.49kg and it’s 27mm thick – so it’s significantly larger than the lithe Asus. It’s more subdued than the Asus Zephyrus, which had loads of lighting and a hidden rainbow pattern in its dotted lid.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is a great choice if you’d prefer your gaming powerhouse to look more subtle. The aluminium body is finished in a shade that Lenovo calls Storm Grey, and it contrasts well with the chrome-effect logo on the lid and the keyboard’s RGB LEDs. Unsurprisingly, for a Lenovo laptop, this gaming rig shares plenty of DNA with its business stablemates – and that’s no bad thing. The trackpad isn’t particularly good, so get a USB mouse instead.

If you’d like the AMD-based Lenovo instead, it’s been discontinued, presumably to update the design with newer AMD processors.

As with the AMD machine, the 5i Pro deploys a 16-inch display with a heightened aspect ratio, and you’ll have to pay £1899 / $1599 / €2073 for this Intel-powered portable – although if you shop around those UK and European prices will likely be lower when you head to the checkout.

The Intel chip inside the 5i Pro is one of the latest Core i7 parts, and graphical power comes from the reliable Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. The little “i” on the end of the Legion’s name hints at the biggest difference between the two: the 5i Pro includes an Intel processor, while the standard Legion 5 Pro relies on AMD silicon.

The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is the business firm’s latest salvo into the world of gaming laptops, and don’t fret if the name sounds familiar – we’ve seen the Legion 5 Pro before.
