Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00LDFR)
With its dark Onyx Gray design with angular lines and connectors positioned mainly at the back, this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creatives has a gamer appearance.
This creative gaming laptop PC has good connectivity with its 2 USB-C, its HDMI video output useful for easily connecting it to a TV or a monitor for example, its Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicate and connect remotely, its Ethernet and audio ports but also its 4 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 when USB 3.0 devices are connected.
To better discern the keys of the chiclet keyboard in the dark, you can activate the backlighting.
Players will be delighted that the screen adopts a refresh rate of 240Hz, much higher than the 60Hz standard, which improves general fluidity, including in games.
The screen stands out with its 2.5K definition superior to Full HD, very well suited to High Definition content, while its 16:10 format displays more information in height than the classic 16:9 format.
Thanks to its IPS and sRGB specifications, the screen has significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles while reproducing colors more faithfully than average.

Performance, battery life of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00LDFR)
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00LDFR) targets those who wish to equip themselves with a versatile High Definition laptop PC in a comfortable format, powerful in gaming and creation equipped with recent components.
It integrates a large quantity of RAM of 32 GB above average, very appreciable in multitasking, under processing, to see what is coming and also calmly accompany the processor, a Core i7-13700HX Intel Raptor Lake with 16 hybrid cores.
Creative people will particularly appreciate this heart which delivers great overall power capable of attracting demanding users, incommensurate with that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.
Because it notably guarantees much faster processing than 8/16 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core processor. We strongly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in RAM and CPU resources using multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.
Creators will appreciate this configuration even more as it includes the dedicated GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. Because it accelerates multimedia processing under software using GPU computing power. This is the case for example in Adobe Premiere/Photoshop, VSDC or Sony Vegas.
However, the GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing primarily targets gamers. Because this high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card is capable of running the most recent games that require 3D resources.
This is all the more appreciable since the high 2.5K definition of the screen requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
Depending on the tasks performed, Optimus automatically switches in real time between the Iris Iris Xe.
Just like the GeForce RTX 4070, the Iris Xe allows you to view photos and videos. Above all, it consumes little energy which favors autonomy which is clearly not the strong point of this model since it is around 3h30 on battery in light use.

On the storage side, Lenovo offers 2 slots for M.2 SSD in this laptop. One of them is free to increase if necessary the total capacity which amounts to 1000 GB, which is very comfortable for installing and storing multiple games, software and files including personal creations.
Like any SSD, the 1 TB SSD inserted in this gaming laptop PC is more resistant to shocks than a hard drive while being more energy efficient, quiet and much faster.
The SSD thus clearly improves responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive.
Finally, this versatile multimedia creator gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard under heavy load (e.g. games, processing).
And ventilated support can be used if necessary in addition to contain temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
