I7 12700H + RTX3060 unleashed - Lenovo Legion 5 Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- More plastic, 15" instead of a 16" 16:10 and a little less premium overall.
That's all that sets the Legion 5 apart from the bigger Pro brother, but it still got it where it counts and offers a well-tuned gaming machine with one of the fastest Intel i7-12700H + RTX 3060

Just got mine yesterday..looking forward to explore it. Thanks for your video man.
How is it bro? Should I buy too? Or it’s not okay?
Been a reader of notebookcheck for a while now, and given the quality of your work. I'm patiently waiting for the channel to blow up in subscribers.
Thanks man, you and me both! ;) 💪🏻
One of the best videos I've seen... Thank you for your nice and professional review
Glad you liked it! Thanks for being around! 💪🏻
Hey there, so what do you think on buying 6800h and 3060 model?
And do you think 3060 for 1440p is ok? I mean surely we can reduce the resolution to 1080p in next 3 to 4 years if needed but for now what do you think?
I have this model, been using it for a few months at this point. Got it with the 1440p screen. I play all of my games in 1440p res and this thing easily maxes out many newer games! Even the games that are a lot heavier to run it does great with. I play Cyberpunk 2077 all normal settings maxed out with all ray tracing settings on and DLSS set to Performance and FPS locked to 50 and it runs great. The full 140w 3060 + 12700H combo is fantastic although VRAM is a bottleneck for some titles. Other than that and some minor inconveniences like no Windows Hello support I'm absolutely happy with it.
I see myself using this for the next three years as my main rig.
Congrats to your new laptop, ma man!
Hi I'm getting legion 5i pro i9 13900HX RTX 4060 that's the only variant available in my place, I actually wanted to go for i7 12700H RTX 3070ti firstly it's crazy hard to get it here but I eventually found some sellers selling it but it's hilarious they're selling it same price as i9 RTX 4060 variant $1800, I mean it seems crazy to me how on earth are they selling a i7 variant 2022 model same as i9 2023 model? Now I'm stuck if I'm paying $1800 for i7 and in this same price I'm getting i9 why shouldn't I get an i9 variant? But then I'm in confusion regarding the 4060 variant because I heard from many people the 4060 variant is not as good in performance rather the 3070ti Knocks out the 4060 in majority cases so I'm badly stuck what should I do can you guys help me? I'm going to be doing intensive graphical work, Blender, after effects, Davinci, Photoshop like very demanding task should I go for 4060 variant if it's performance is significantly better than 3070 or what?
@@Inc0gnit045 the screen build and cpu is better in 5i pro so get that one
Can you specify the conditions when it was tested in Cinebench R23? Because I have the same model but the max score on mine (17800+) and I think every result Ive seen in other videos as as well are below even the minimum recorded score in your testing and it seems pretty unreasonable.
The Cyberpunk noise samples perform at 95 or 130W. Are these values in Balanced Mode or is the higher value in Performance mode? How are they related to Witcher at 43 to 48 dB in the written review? Do the Cyberpunk noise samples exhibit the same loudness as one would get for GPU-only load, such as Furmark? --robert jasiek
Yes, balanced roughly 95W for the GPU and up to 140W in performance mode.
Unfortunately, I can not (for now) measure DBs in the video studio yet. But I would say it translates to the numbers from the written review (43 - balanced, 48 - performance)
It will be comparable since the GPU is under the same kind of load. There will be a variance, of course. For example, each game stresses the GPU slightly differently, but the fan noise difference will be negligible.
It might be something to look into in detail and measure it.
How about the building quality bro ? Please help me im stock with this lap and the alienware m15 r7 rtx3060 version . Who is have the best building quality in your opinion? Please help me i'm so confused
hii .is there throttling ?
what is the price in dollar
and also what is the whole package power ? 240 watt or how
One another question, does playing 1080p on this 1440p screen is ok? I mean doesn't it look bad? Or fade?
Excellent video!! I have a question, that model is the Lenovo Legion 5 15IAH7H right? Does that model come with thermal paste or liquid metal?
Thanks for your kind words. I am afraid I can not answer your question.
Great review. Lenovo hit it out of the park this year with good value gaming laptops.
They did, especially since their "cost-cutting" did not touch performance, and you are really not giving up a lot.
I'm using for autocad, nx Siemens and some games. Is it good for those engineering 3d drawing stuff
Great review thx. Would you say Legion 5 Pro is louder than the regular Legion 5?
Judging from our measurements, max fan noise is comparable, but in general, the Legion 5 is a little quieter.
Great Video many thanks. Bought the Laptops for Gaming and Programming. I am searching for a alternative charger. I have the brick with 300w and the smaller brick with 230 is to expensive. Could you recommend a charger? Is it possible to charge the laptop with 3.2 pd. I do not know if it would harm the battery.
You can get yourself a 100W USB-Charger for the rear USB-C.
You will not get the full performance, but you can enjoy a much smaller AC adapter on the go!
Hello everyone......which one is better...lenovo legion 5 i7 12gen rtx 3060 or the acer predator Helios neo 16 i7 13gen with rtx 40 series in terms of batter life and for intense cpu gup works
Hello Alex, I can't see my last comment so I'm posting it again.
The written review on notebookcheck (eng) mentions that "Chassis is anodized aluminum on top while the bottom is ABS plastic"
Can you please confirm whether the keyboard deck is made of plastic or metal?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I do not have the unit on hand anymore. But if you confirmed it in the written review, I am pretty sure the information is correct.
@@NotebookcheckReviews Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I've asked few current owners of the device and they confirmed that only the lid is metal just like current video says.
Maybe it's an issue with my interpretation of the what the written article said.
this laptop in uk is now on 37% off for 1000£ with rtx 3070 fhd so should I get this or slim 5 rtx 4060 please it is urgent
Is this better than the acer triton 300 se rtx 3060?
Bought it and love it. Great video
Enjoy it
How is it bro? Should I buy too? Or it’s not okay?
Best purchase I've made in years! I'm in love with the design, ports placement and additional m2 slot. Got myself i5 12500h and rtx3060 version. Overall it's great!
Awesome, that is great to hear! Happy gaming!
How is it bro? Should I buy too? Or it’s not okay?
does anyone know if this machine is good for 4k video editing?
Can you give pros and cons for Legion 7 gen 7 all AMD vs Legion 5i pro i7-12700h rtx 3070
Helllo my friend, im looking for buy laptop and i have two choice ,
1 asus rog g513 rm with r 7 6800h rtx 3060
2 legion 5 i7 12700h rtx 3060
Which one you prefer?
This laptop has RGB light?

My greatest surprise of latest Lenovo laptop I have is its cooling system. PC does not heat up, despite I am rendering video of 2 hrs length.
It is pretty well-cooled!
@@NotebookcheckReviewsis it a mistake to buy it for solely college student data science and programming use?....pls tell😢😢
You're using this model to render? I'm getting a 5i i7 12th thinking to use it for video editing. You think worth it?
@@cesarmejia5888 Yes. It worth buying. Now new generation is out with 13th generation CPU coupled with RTX4080. It is a powerful PC. I use it for video and audio editing. So far, I have never seen any error in the system.
Is there a big difference between this one and the one with the i5 processor?
That really depends on what you are doing with it. In gaming, you might lose a couple of frames, but it will still give you a great experience.
How many fps do you get with warzone and valorant high settings with same specs. Or can you please make a video with fps from a bunch of games. Thx
You can find Warzone fps at 7:14 in the video. Unfortunately we did not test valoran.
Valorant over 200 easy because my 1650 runs medium 144fps fhd
Just ordered this from Costco for 1099 with 4 year warranty and 4% cash back’ it will be my first gaming laptop!- 90 day return policy lets me see how the nvidia 40 series chips should fare announcements.
But I doubt they’d be anywhere near 1100.
It is a great deal you got yourself there. And I assume we will see a lot more of those once the next-gen stuff launches/hits the market. And just because a new hardware generation is out there doesn't mean this year's stuff isn't great!
Have fun with your legion!
Are you having a 4060 or 4070?
Does this one serve as a personal heater as well? Bought a Lenovo and feels like it might burn my house down.
Well, it doesnt get any hotter or runs that much cooler than you average high-performance gaming laptop! ;)
But you house should be safe!
this or msi katana?
Hi this one is expensive than msi crosshair 15 with i7 and 140w 3070, I do like msi but do you think it's a good one just for gaming and stuffs?
Have you checked our review for the Crosshair yet?

@@Lancelot19 I'm also currently looking for i7 12700H RTX 3070ti but unfortunately it's priced same as the 2023 i9 13900HX variant so I'm confused as heck what should I do? Only 3060 variant seems well priced but then I'm going to be doing lot of heavy stuff like motion designing, 3D modeling, 4K video editing with lot of transitions and plugins plus Photoshop and illustrator I'm not sure if the 3060 variant can keep up with all this and give me a smooth performance
@@Inc0gnit045 I would say wait for lil more and see what comes, 13th gen is much better 12700 basically a desktop like cpu not efficient at all. If you can get a 4060 then it's quite future proof..
@@Lancelot19 yes I'm able to get i9 13900HX RTX 4060 (140W) but I heard 4060 isn't as good in performance as 3070ti you won't get significantly higher performance so I'm afraid to go that way

the presented legion 5 with 12700H, 16GB and 3070ti for roughly the same price.

Have you tried updating all drivers and everything on offer from lenovo? For product support, you should contact them or see if somebody on google may have had the same problem?!
There are 2 laptops I want to buy but am confused about choosing one.
1. This laptop Lenovo Legion 5 i7 12700h rtx3060 1tb ssd 16 GB
2. Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 i7 13700HX RTX 4060 1 tb ssd 16GB
Any suggestions for that? From performance, build quality, and cooling system whose better?
I tried to check on ur website but helios neo 16 is not up yet or I can't find it anywhere
I am also confused at this but with rtx 4050 ,if you found solution let me know
@@omukhalesame here I am also confused
@@Fortuna_10_ i finally selected acer predator helios neo 16 4050 version,125000 512 ssd ,i will extend ssd from service center after buying, performance is lot more than legion 5 , display resolution is only low and not IPS display, but when you see it in real it looks good display,for Better performance and gaming acer is the best
@@omukhale broh i chose the same well, congratulations to both of us ! !
Let's hope well
@@Fortuna_10_ yes, congratulations 🥳
What is the TDP of rtx 3060 in this laptop? That is actually very important to know for everyone
140w
Definitely a jack of all trades and master of none. But that's what makes them great.
Solid compromise!
Does this model provide international warranty?
Again, you would have to check with the retailer!
When will i5 variant launch in India?
I am afraid you have to take this question to your local retailer.
Doesn't your legion 5 have rbg ?
Truth to be told, I did not look into RGB for the keyboard to be honest :D
Is this better than Helios 300?
Depends on the specs. If they are the same specs you’ll get the save performance so whatever you get a better deal on you should get. Lenovo generally has better deals than acer
What will this beauty cost let’s say March/April next year -> below 1.000 EUR?
I won't get my hopes up. Why I assume these things will go down in price, it's more likely that new products will just get more expensive ...
But let us hope I am not correct! :/
How much is the TDP of GPU 3060 in 512GB variant...because everywhere I see 1TB has 140w TDP with 3060 but how much is in 512GB..also in lenovo website it shows 115w with 512GB...
I can not say for sure, since we only test the 1TB variant.
@@NotebookcheckReviews ok..👌🏻
Is TDP and TGP one and the same? For example if 4060 has 140W and 3060 has also 140 or 150W does it mean 3060 has more power than 4060 and it can outperform 4060??
Just bought this laptop in Spain for 1050 euros. I7, 16gb ddr5, RTX 3060 and 1080P 165Hz. I think for the price is very good.
That is a great deal! The same config?
So Lucky in the netherlands it is around 1800 euro's so expensive

I bought an msi katana laptop and they didn't provide any info about screen brightness etc. Saw your review and immediately canceled the order. 250 nits for a 2000+ dollar laptop... Anyway, ordered this one instead with 3070 card, waiting for it.
The Katana is very weirdly priced for the performance and quality it delivers ...
Plz do a 11800h vs 12700h gaming review with either 3060 or 3070. How much is the gaming improvement in both countries bound and GPU bound games.

@@NotebookcheckReviews I have checked it two months ago,but coudnt find any identical laptop with same gpu .
This one or TUF with the same config?!
Hm, “TUF” decision 😂
I personally like both, the legion quite a bit more bulky but build like a tank and will give you better performance. The TUF is a lot lighter and easier to lug around!
@@NotebookcheckReviews how much better performance? I just want to do some simple editings.
Is the legion 5 i7 12700h good for heavy task and how much does the battery last for intense workload....ohh and great vid loved it
how does it perform in blender tho?

nice review i need your opinion .. i want to buy mid range laptop and i have 2 option and idont know what to choose between :
............
1st : Lenovo Legion 5i gen7 2022
intel core i7 12700H / 32 gb ram / rtx 3070ti
price 1200 euros
............
2nd : Asus Rog Strix g17 2022
Amd R7 6800H / 16 gb ram / rtx 3070ti
price 1500 euros
Tough questions since these are very different machines. If price is a concern, the Legion 5 will give you slightly better CPU performance for less with the pricing you found.
I don't think that we tested the AMD-based G17, but I am preparing a video about the Intel version right now, and they are almost quiet in Balanced mode despite very high power levels for the GPU.
But with the deals you found, you lack quite a bit of RAM.
What display configs do these two have in your case? I would consider that as well.
@@NotebookcheckReviews
they both have FHD 1920x1080 Display
asus came with 360 Hz / Lenovo 165 Hz
I want to use the machine for architecture rendering such as vray and corona and maybe unreal engine and play games so im confused now my budget about 1500 Euros
Well that sounds like you need a ton of GPU performance. I would maybe look into the QHD version of the Legion 5.
I can buy this one. Rtx 3060//i5 12500h// 8gb ddr5 4800// qhd 165hz// for 1400 euro's i guess it is a good deal when i buy 16gb ram extra with it
Doesnt sound too bad!
Push it to i7 12800H RTX 3070 that'd be a great deal
Just ordered 5 days ago legion 5i with i7 12700H, 3060 RTX 6 GB and 512 GB SSD in India.

@@lancestaana9312 excellent battery backup while doing day to day task but as you know gaming laptop doesn't work efficiently without plugged in
Lenovo Legion 5 i7-12700H RTX3060 cooll
there's no way 140w over 130W (2021 version) gives that much improvement, must be something going on with new processor or ddr5 ram
Which 2021 configuration are you referring to?
You get about 3% extra gpu performance for those watts. Not big, but when combine that with the 12700h(it will reduce cpu bottleneck and utilize the gpu more in cpu demanding games), that how you get that uplift. Theres plenty of games where a 5800h/5900hx and/or no mux will limit cpu performance (especially with that "bad" x16 ddr4 ram) which will in turn lower gpu utilization.
don't forget that 12700h run much cooler than 11700h, so that leave more room for gpu thermal dissipation, mine hardly get more than 77 when pumped >135 watt
@Ahmad Arif Sakti Can confirm, I have the same model and I'm playing Cyberpunk at 1440p with all normal settings maxed out, all raytracing settings on with raytracing set to medium and my GPU temp stays below 70c in non stressful situations, and only slightly higher in heavy combat scenarios. I'm using a stand with it too but it's just a normal metal one for elevation.
The 140w TDP, DDR5 RAM, 12700H and just better cooling makes for a noticeably better performing laptop than the 2022 3060 models with the 5800H and 11800H CPUs. Couldn't be happier I picked this model
