What's going on guys it is Bernardo and you just saw a quick unboxing on Lenovo's Legion 5
with the AMD processor gaming laptop. So what comes inside the box. Okay, so we have our
setup guide right here. Awesome. Right. We have our safety and warranty guide
cool. You have your Legion, ultimate supports little kind of pamphlet right here.
You have your power cable, and you have your power supply, which is actually 170 watts.
Now we're going to take the power cord and hook it up to the power supply.
Right there. Awesome, and put the stuffs to the side. Great. Then we have the beautiful Legion
5 AMD processor gaming laptop, which weighs around 4.95 pounds with a thickness of 0.96 inches. Now,
this guy is a beast. So we are actually going to turn it on powered on. I'm going to go over some
of the specifications some of the pros and cons of the laptop when I was testing it out for you guys.
So let's get right into that. Alright so before we open this guy up and power it on, we're gonna go
over some of the ports and features on the Legion 5, with the AMD processor. Now if you have the
laptop facing you, to the point that you are able to open it up like this on your right hand side
you have one 3.2 USB port on the left hand side you have your audio combo jack and next to that
you have one 3.2 USB always on charging. On the backside we have an RJ 45 port or Ethernet port,
we have a Type C that supports display. We have two additional 3.2 USB ports and HDMI.
And last but not least we have our power port. All right, so let's open this guy up real quick.
Beautiful. Look at that beautiful 15 point. inch display. Wow, now the power button is located
right here at the top we are going to press it to turn it on. Alright so let's talk about the
trackpad on the Legion 5 with the AMD processor now the trackpad I didn't have any issues when
I was using it. Most of the time I was actually using a USB mouse because when I was gaming and
doing a lot of editing. I prefer using a you know a USB mouse. Now the Legion 5 with the AMD
processor is a full keyboard layout with the number pad on your right hand side. When I
was using the keys itself I didn't have any issues at all, they're really responsive,
but I felt like the keys were kind of flat for me. Now the key distance between each key if you take
one dime and one nickel that's going to measure around 0.12 inches. The keyboard is backlit with
two settings, and is not RGB so you're going to get that white color. Now the location of the
speakers on the Legion 5 is actually located on your left and your right hand side right here.
If you haven't on the hard surface and you're playing any type of music or games,
it's going to bounce off the hard surface and it's a nice quality the loudness that I got the
sound was around 92.7 decibels. Now for the display, we are rocking a 15.6 Full HD IPS
anti glare display on the Legion 5 AMD with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 the refresh rate
on this display is actually 144 hertz. The brightness on this guy right now I think
this is the highest on the brightness level. So, if this is the highest, and this is the lowest.
This is the highest. And this is the lowest at the top of the display,
we do have a 720 p webcam, with the Privacy Guard right here which the
slider. Sometimes it's pretty hard to actually get it to open and close.
So as you can see I'm having issues you gotta like really dig in there. To open it up.
Alright so we just went over the trackpad the keyboard and the display on the Legion
5 with the AMD processor from Lenovo so let's talk about the specifications. Now
on the desktop I am going to right click on the taskbar, we are going to go inside Task Manager
within here we are going to go and click on More details. Let's open it up. Let's go to performance
we're going to right click on the CPU graph, we're going to change it to logical processors,
whoa, whoa, that's so pretty. So this machine is actually configured with the AMD ryzen 7 4800 h
with the radeon graphics processor, right, has one socket, eight cores, 16 logical processors,
with a clock speed of around 2.90 gigahertz that's what I'm looking right here for memory, this guy
is actually configured with 16 gigs for hard drive space actually has a 512 solid state drive and
two graphic processors. The first one is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 ti. And then you have the
AMD ryzen graphics card. The reason that you got this one is because of the AMD processor. Now with
the specifications I enjoyed his laptop, a lot, I was able to do Adobe Premiere with no problem,
rendering 4k video with Media Encoder super fast, super simple I just did not have
any issues on this machine. Now if the heating it does get a little warm around this area right
here and around the display, don't get me wrong the Legion 5 does have a lot of vents on your
right hand side, left side and on the backside as well as the bottom to keep it nice and cool
for gaming. It was a pleasure playing video games on this machine,
it was capable of handling everything I had no issue especially with. If you go inside Vantage
go inside Vantage right now. This guy is built with three modes. So if we click on right here
in the setting that I like to keep on this machine is balanced mode, you are able to
change it pressing function Q, and it will switch it to quiet mode, and then if you press it again,
it will go to performance mode, it's not switching to performance mode and the reason why is because
it's not plugged into the power supply, but if you have the power supply hooked up,
it will automatically go into performance mode when you do it three times. So right now I have it
on quiet mode if I do it again, it goes to balance mode, if you're doing again with the power supply,
it should go to performance mode, but I like to keep it in balance mode because when you start
playing video games, it will automatically adjust itself to performance mode. Now let's talk about
the battery usage on the Legion 5 with the AMD processor. Now I ran three tests using PC Mark 10,
the first test was the modern office battery life It took around six hours and 40 minutes
as basically using like Word, PowerPoint going online and doing a little bit of photo editing
on the second test. Just pure video. Full HD seven hours and the last one was
gaming without the power supply, the battery life only lasts around one hour and five minutes.
So that basically means do not use this machine. If you're gaming without the power
supply. Now the computer itself by default is configured within the BIOS, or the firmware
to automatically do hybrid mode, you are able to go inside the BIOS setting and then configure it
to do. Discrete for the graphics processor. So that's really up to you if you want to configure
that alright so let's conclude our review on the Legion 5 with the AMD processor, like, I
really enjoy using this laptop I had a lot of fun using it super powerful with the specifications.
What can I say it's just awesome pure awesome. I did use this machine using an external monitor.
I did, I took advantage of the HDMI I didn't have a Type C display in the lab to use to take
advantage of that display port but if you have an HDMI monitor just take advantage of that boom and
then you're good to go. Now the retail price for this starting price for the AMD model is going
to average around $810, it really depends on how you get it specified at the Lenovo site. Now for
this machine 16 gigs, 512 gigs of solid state drive. It has the refresh rate of 144 hertz,
the particular graphics card that it has is going to cost a little bit more. Overall I did have a
lot of fun having this machine at the lab using it with editing 4k, I didn't have to create any
proxy files I was able to edit 4k natively with no problem gaming was awesome, especially I had my,
my boost mode into like balanced auto so it adjusts itself when it needed to. I didn't have
any heating issues at all and fan noise, what fan noise I didn't hear anything, and that's it guys
