Design

Visually, the revised chassis has fewer accents and angles for a flatter and more professional look than last year’s model, especially along the rear. The two-tone gray and silver color scheme is gone in favor of a more uniform appearance. We prefer the new design as it leans towards minimalism while maintaining many of the distinctive Legion features. Chassis rigidity is excellent on our unit with no audible creaking or weak points. The base and lid exhibit more twisting than the stiffer Blade 16, but not enough to be of any huge concern. The Legion Pro 5 16 is noticeably larger and heavier than many of its peers. The Aero 16, Blade 16, and Zephyrus M16 are all thinner and lighter than the Lenovo by up to 8 mm or 400 grams which is not insignificant. Though it’s certainly nowhere near as bulky as many 17.3-inch gaming laptops, the Legion Pro 5 16 isn’t exactly the most travel-friendly option in its 16-inch size class, either.

Processor 

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 is equipped with the Intel Core i9-13900HX a fast high-end mobile processor of the Raptor Lake series. It was announced in early 2023 and looks like it is based on the desktop Core i9-13000K with a combined 24 cores and 32 threads. Eight fast Raptor Cove performance cores (P-cores) with Hyperthreading that clock between 2.2 GHz (base) and 5.4 GHz (single core boost, 4.9 GHz for all cores) and sixteen Gracemont efficiency cores without Hyper-Threading (1.6 – 3.9 GHz). Compared to Alder Lake, Raptor Lake offers improved P-Cores (Raptor Cove micro-architecture) with bigger Caches and more E-Cores (same Gracemont micro-architecture). Furthermore, the chip supports faster DDR5 memory (up to 5600 MHz for the 13900HX).
