The Lenovo Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 features a 6-row keyboard with multimedia Fn keys and a numeric keypad. It offers various backlight options, including 4-Zone RGB, Blue, or White backlighting, allowing users to customize the keyboard lighting to their preference.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Keyboard%206%2Drow%2C%20multimedia%20Fn%20keys%2C%20numeric%20keypad%2C%20black%20keycaps |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Reference |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 features a 6-row keyboard with multimedia Fn keys and a numeric keypad. It is available with 4-Zone RGB backlight, Blue backlight, or White backlight options.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Keyboard%206%2Drow%2C%20multimedia%20Fn%20keys%2C%20numeric%20keypad%2C%20black%20keycaps |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 - Technical Specifications |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>


The keyboard is noted for its full-sized keys and 1.5 mm travel, although it is considered somewhat shallow compared to other models in its class. The RGB lighting is 4-zone rather than per-key, and the brightness is not as high as some competitors.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64152-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review/#:~:text=The%20keyboard%20on%20the%20Pro%205i%20is%20similar%20in%20layout%20to%20the%20other%20Legion%20laptops%2C%20with%20a%20main%20deck%20of%20full%2Dsized%20and%20properly%2Dspaced%20keys%2C%20plus%20a%20smaller%20NumPad%20section%20at%20the%20right. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The keyboard offers 1.5 mm travel, 0.2 mm pitch, and 100 percent anti-ghosting for gaming purposes. The travel and feedback are deeper and stronger than those on competitors like the Asus Zephyrus M16, providing a more satisfying typing experience. However, per-key RGB lighting is not available, which is a feature exclusive to the higher-end Legion 7 Pro series.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=The%20keyboard%20offers%201.5%20mm%20travel%2C%200.2%20mm%20pitch%2C%20and%20100%20percent%20anti%2Dghosting%20for%20gaming%20purposes. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The keyboard is noted for its quiet operation and slight concavity of the keys, which aids in typing accuracy. The inclusion of a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad is appreciated, though the numpad keys are slightly smaller to prevent a cramped layout.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64102-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review-4070/#:~:text=The%20keys%20are%20a%20little%20on%20the%20soft%20side%20to%20press%2C%20but%20I%20can%20quickly%20adapt. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review (gen 8 – Core i9, RTX 4070) |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

The laptop is equipped with a buttonless Mylar surface multi-touch touchpad, measuring 75 x 120 mm. The touchpad provides a smooth and responsive input experience, supporting multi-touch gestures for enhanced navigation and control.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Touchpad%20Buttonless%20Mylar%C2%AE%20surface%20multi%2Dtouch%20touchpad%2C%2075%20x%20120%20mm |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Reference |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

The clickpad is about the same size as the one on the previous model, with smooth and responsive gliding. However, the travel is very shallow when clicking, and feedback isn't very strong. Despite this, the clickpad works reliably enough for simple tasks when a mouse isn't available.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=The%20clickpad%20(12%20x%207.5%20cm)%20is%20about%20the%20same%20size%20as%20the%20one%20on%20the%20(11.5%20x%208%20cm). |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The touchpad is noted for its improved performance over previous models, with gestures and tracking working effectively. It is assumed to be a very smooth plastic rather than glass, providing a satisfactory user experience.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64102-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review-4070/#:~:text=The%20trackpad.%20on%20the%20other%20hand.%20I%20think%20has%20been%20updated%2C%20because%20I%20feel%20like%20it%20performs%20a%20lot%20better%20than%20I%20witnessed%20in%20the%20previous%20model. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review (gen 8 – Core i9, RTX 4070) |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 includes a webcam with options for FHD 1080p or HD 720p resolution, both featuring an E-shutter for privacy and fixed focus. The webcam is suitable for video conferencing and online communication.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Camera%C2%A0%E2%80%A2%20FHD%201080p%2C%20with%20E%2Dshutter%2C%20fixed%20focus%20%E2%80%A2%20HD%20720p%2C%20with%20E%2Dshutter%2C%20fixed%20focus |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Reference |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 includes a webcam with two options: FHD 1080p with E-shutter, fixed focus, or HD 720p with E-shutter, fixed focus.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Camera%C2%A0%E2%80%A2%20FHD%201080p%2C%20with%20E%2Dshutter%2C%20fixed%20focus%20%E2%80%A2%20HD%20720p%2C%20with%20E%2Dshutter%2C%20fixed%20focus |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 - Technical Specifications |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The 1080p webcam is standard on gaming laptops, but on the Lenovo, automatic brightness adjustments occur slower than usual, resulting in a darker picture. There is an electronic webcam shutter for privacy control but no IR sensor.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=The%201080p%20or%202%20MP%20webcam%20has%20become%20standard%20on%20gaming%20laptops. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>


The 1080p webcam is serviceable but not exceptional, with some noise in low-light conditions and overexposure in bright settings. The Tobii Experience app offers head-tracking features and additional security options, although the webcam's white LED can be distracting when enabled.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/lenovo-legion-pro-5-gen-8#:~:text=The%201080p%20webcam%20in%20our%20Lenovo%20Legion%20Pro%205%20Gen%208%20review%20unit%20isn't%20bad%3B%20the%20quality%20can%20be%20a%20little%20noisy%20in%20darker%20environments%2C%20and%20the%20image%20blows%20out%20in%20bright%20environments%2C%20but%20if%20you%20find%20a%20happy%20medium%20you'll%20get%20a%20perfectly%20serviceable%20image. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 review |publisher=Tom's Guide |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

The display is designed for gaming and multimedia, with features such as Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and Advanced Optimus support.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Display%C2%A0%E2%80%A2%20WQXGA%20Anti%2Dglare%2016%22%20(2560x1600)%20None%20IPS%20300nits%20%E2%80%A2%20WQXGA%20Anti%2Dglare%2016%22%20(2560x1600)%20None%20IPSWQXGA%20500nits |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 Reference |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16ARX8/Legion_Pro_5_16ARX8_Spec.pdf#:~:text=Display%C2%A0%E2%80%A2%20WQXGA%20Anti%2Dglare%2016%22%20(2560x1600)%20None%20IPS%20300nits%20%E2%80%A2%20WQXGA%20Anti%2Dglare%2016%22%20(2560x1600)%20None%20IPSWQXGA%20500nits |title=Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 Reference |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

* Contrast Ratio: 1200:1
* Special Features: Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus, TÜV Low Blue Light, DisplayHDR 400


The display on the reviewed unit is noted for its high brightness of over 500 nits and excellent contrast, making it suitable for gaming and daily use. However, it only covers the sRGB color gamut, which is less than some competing models offering DCI-P3 coverage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64152-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review/#:~:text=The%20panel%20on%20our%20unit%20is%202560%20x%201600%20px%20QHD%2B%20resolution%2C%20500%2B%20nits%20of%20brightness%2C%20and%20100%25%20sRGB%20color%20coverage%2C%20with%20240Hz%20refresh%20rates%2C%20fast%20response%20times%2C%20and%20GSync. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The display is designed to provide vibrant colors and smooth visuals, making it suitable for gaming and multimedia consumption.


The display's average brightness is measured at 318.6 nits, which is lower than some competitors, making it less ideal for use in direct sunlight.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/lenovo-legion-pro-5-gen-8#:~:text=We%20measured%20an%20average%20of%20318.6%20nits%20of%20brightness%20across%20the%20display%3A%20not%20nearly%20as%20bright%20as%20the%20(533.4%20nits)%2C%20and%20trailing%20behind%20(383.6%20nits). |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 review |publisher=Tom's Guide |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The 165 Hz display option supports G-Sync, 2560 x 1600 native resolution, and full sRGB coverage, while the 240 Hz panel supports HDR400. The base 165 Hz option is sufficient for midrange gamers, offering excellent image quality with minimal graininess for a matte panel. However, backlight bleeding could be improved, as the unit tested exhibited a fair amount of light bleeding, which is borderline unacceptable for a gaming laptop in this price range.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=There%20are%20two%20display%20options%20for%20the%202023%20Legion%20Pro%205%2016%3A%20165%20Hz%20and%20240%20Hz. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The 240 Hz display option, tested with the Intel Core i9-13900HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, offers a bright and sharp image with a maximum brightness of 506 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 1488:1. The panel provides good viewing angles and minimal backlight bleed, though it lacks wide gamut color coverage, topping out at 100% sRGB.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64102-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review-4070/#:~:text=The%20model%20I%20have%20on%20hand%20has%20a%2016%E2%80%9D%20240Hz%202560%C3%971600%20px%20resolution%20screen. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review (gen 8 – Core i9, RTX 4070) |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX variant, tested with the 165 Hz display, utilizes a different IPS panel than the Intel-powered variant, offering slightly faster black-white and gray-gray response times, but the differences are marginal for an essentially identical viewing experience.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ryzen-7-7745HX-performance-debut-Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16-Gen-8-laptop-review.717942.0.html#:~:text=Interestingly%2C%20our%20AMD%2Dpowered%C2%A0Legion%20Pro%205%2016ARX8%20utilizes%20a%20different%20IPS%20panel%20than%20on%20the%20Intel%2Dpowered%C2%A0Legion%20Pro%205%2016IRX8%20(CSOT%20MNG007DA1%2DQ%20vs.%C2%A0AU%20Optronics%20B160QAN03.1) |title=Ryzen 7 7745HX performance debut: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 8 laptop review |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The display on the Legion 5 Pro is noted for its decent brightness and color reproduction, achieving 82.4% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and an average brightness of 319 nits.

The revised chassis has fewer accents and angles for a flatter and more professional look than the previous model, with a more uniform appearance. Chassis rigidity is excellent, with no audible creaking or weak points. However, the Legion Pro 5 16 is noticeably larger and heavier than many of its peers, making it less travel-friendly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=Visually%2C%20the%20revised%20chassis%20has%20fewer%20accents%20and%20angles%20for%20a%20flatter%20and%20more%20professional%20look%20than%20last%20year%27s%20model%20especially%20along%20the%20rear. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

However, the tested unit recorded a WLAN runtime of under 3.5 hours, even when set to iGPU and Balanced profile modes. Charging from empty to full takes under 90 minutes with the included AC adapter.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16IRX8-laptop-review-A-hefty-US-1600-for-the-GeForce-RTX-4060.712713.0.html#:~:text=Runtimes%20are%20short%20which%20appears%20to%20be%20a%20trend%20amongst%20Legion%20models%3B%20we%27re%20only%20able%20to%20record%20a%20WLAN%20runtime%20of%20under%203.5%20hours%20even%20when%20set%20to%20iGPU%20and%20Balanced%20profile%20modes. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 laptop review - A hefty US$1600 for the GeForce RTX 4060 |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The battery life is noted to be somewhat limited, with various usage scenarios yielding different runtimes. For example, heavy browsing in Chrome resulted in approximately 3 hours and 13 minutes of use, while gaming significantly reduced battery life to under an hour.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64102-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review-4070/#:~:text=so%2Dso%20battery%20life |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review (gen 8 – Core i9, RTX 4070) |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
 
The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX variant, tested with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, shows that WLAN runtime is just slightly longer than the Intel version by about 30 minutes when set to the Balanced power profile with the iGPU active.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ryzen-7-7745HX-performance-debut-Lenovo-Legion-Pro-5-16-Gen-8-laptop-review.717942.0.html#:~:text=WLAN%20runtime%20is%20just%20slightly%20longer%20than%20the%20Intel%20version%20by%20about%2030%20minutes%20when%20set%20to%20the%20Balanced%20power%20profile%20with%20the%20iGPU%20active. |title=Ryzen 7 7745HX performance debut: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 8 laptop review |publisher=NotebookCheck |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 can be configured with the following processors[1][2]:

These processors are designed to deliver high performance for gaming and multitasking, with support for advanced features such as Intel's hybrid architecture and efficient power management.
