Lenovo's Legion Pro 5 Gaming Laptop: A Glimpse into the Future
Lenovo has given gamers a sneak peek into the future with its latest gaming powerhouse, the Legion Pro 5. Priced at $1800 (~12,760 Yuan), this gaming notebook is set to make waves with its impressive specifications and performance.
Unveiling at CES 2024
The Legion Pro 5 is expected to be officially unveiled at CES 2024, but it has already made an appearance at a retailer, giving us a taste of what's to come. This gaming laptop is powered by Intel's cutting-edge 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" CPU, promising a significant leap in performance.
Raw Processing Power
Under the hood, the Legion Pro 5 is fueled by the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, a juggernaut with 24 cores and 32 threads. This powerful CPU clocks at speeds of up to 5.8GHz and sports a maximum turbo power design of 157W. Lenovo's decision to opt for the 14th Gen Core CPUs, rather than Intel's new Meteor Lake GPUs, highlights their focus on raw processing power.
Impressive Configuration
For the $1800 variant, users can expect a configuration that includes the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory, a capacious 1TB SSD storage, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 8GB Laptop GPU. The Legion Pro 5 also offers an extra Gen4 M.2 SSD slot for additional storage and the possibility to upgrade the RAM to an impressive 96GB of DDR5 memory.
Portability and Connectivity
Despite its powerful specifications, the Legion Pro 5 maintains its portability with an 80Wh battery and compact dimensions of 363 x 260 x 26.75mm. It weighs just 2.55kg, making it easy to carry around. In terms of connectivity, this gaming laptop offers 3 x USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen1 (always on) port, and 1 x USB-C 3.2 Gen2, which supports data transfer and DisplayPort 1.4. HDMI 2.1 is also included, capable of handling 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz, catering to the demands of high-quality gaming displays.
A Thrilling Gaming Experience
Despite the distinction between the 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" CPUs and the newly unveiled Intel Meteor Lake CPUs, Lenovo ensures that integrated graphics won't be a primary concern for gamers. With the inclusion of the GeForce RTX 4070, the Legion Pro 5 promises an immersive and thrilling gaming experience. Gamers can look forward to the full reveal of this gaming laptop at CES 2024.
