日本Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16, Gen 9) review – Top Performer with Color-Accurate Display and Impressive Battery
Design and construction
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16, Gen 9) seems almost similar to the Lenovo Legion 5i (16, Gen 9) with a few changes here and there. The color here is called Onyx grey. Again, the anodized finish doesn’t attract a lot of smudges, especially on the body. The lid is aluminum and the base is plastic (PC-ABS). The dimensions look normal given the hardware – 2.50 kg and 21.99 – 26.95 mm profile thickness.
The stable lid can be opened smoothly with a single hand. The base is also solid. There is a bit of flex below the Arrow keys and above the touchpad but that only happens when you press down these sections on purpose.
The bezels around the 25600x1600p display are super thin except for the lower one. The protrusion on the lid is for easier opening and it also houses a 720p or an optional 1080p Web camera with an E-shutter switch that can be found on the right side of the notebook.
As you can see, the maximum angle of the opening is very wide and it almost reaches 180 degrees.
The power button is separated from the keyboard with a NumPad and big Arrow keys. The board can glow in a white or blue color. You can also opt for the fancy Legion TrueStrike 4-zone RGB model. The unit is comfortable for all kinds of usage because of the long key travel and clicky feedback.
The touchpad with Mylar surface feels similar to the one of the non-Pro version of the laptop. The size is the same (75 x 120 mm). Overall, the pad isn’t something spectacular but it’s good enough for normal work since the accuracy is on point.
Three rubber feet and three ventilation grills can be seen on the bottom panel. The heat is pushed through four vents – two on the back and two on the sides.
Ports
On the left side, you can see a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port and a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port that supports DisplayPort 1.4. The rear houses a LAN, a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port with DisplayPort 1.4 and 140W PowerDelivery functionality, an HDMI 2.1 for up to 8K 60Hz external displays, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports (the latter has an Always on extra) and a power connector. On the right side, you can spot a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, and E-shutter, and an Audio combo jack.
