KUALA LUMPUR: Lenovo has announced the availability of its latest gaming performance laptops – the Legion 5 series and Legion 5 Pro series in the Malaysian market.
Engineered to handle full-powered graphics, the esports-centric Lenovo Legion 5i Pro and 5 Pro are the world's first 16-inch laptop series with a WQHD+ up to 240Hz adaptive refresh rate gaming display. It is also a certified Gold Label for its TÜV Rheinland High Gaming Performance, which helps reduce the negative effects of blue light from increased screen time.
According to Lenovo, the Legion 5 Pro series is built from an aluminium and magnesium metal blend (Al + Mg) for extreme lightness. It features new Legion Spectrum RGB Lighting, a four-zone backlight effects system developed especially for Lenovo Legion PCs and the company's advanced Legion TrueStrike keyboard.
Tuned for e-sports, the device's cooling system includes an updated fan system, larger exhaust area, and improved penta heat pipe layout that efficiently ushers air to lower skin temperatures. A copper block sits under the CPU as a heat sink to help dissipate heat created in hardcore battle sessions, and the fan blades on the Lenovo Legion laptops are slimmer by up to 40 per cent from the previous generation to help keep the system quieter.
The new Pro series supports up to 12th Gen Intel CoreTM i7-12700H processors (Legion 5i Pro) and next-gen AMD Ryzen processors (Legion 5 Pro) as well as several optimised configurations including up to the latest GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptop GPU that really packs a punch in AAA games. The laptop also supports expanded bandwidth from 4800Mhz DDR5 memory and up to 1TB PCle SSD (Gen4) of storage.
These laptops are also equipped with Legion Coldfront 4.0, which now offers noise suppression as one of its new attributes thanks to a noise-insulated chassis. The laptop also comes with smarter noise cancelling by Nahimic Audio by SteelSeries which also offers professional-level sound tuning and audio effects via a precise 10-band equaliser.
Available in metallic Storm Grey and pearlised Glacier White hue, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro series is thinner than the previous generation featuring a trimmed lid and hinge design. The new laptop also comes with a zero bump hinge for added protection and an electronic privacy shutter on top-placed HD webcam.
