The Acer Nitro 5 features a backlit keyboard, which enhances visibility in low-light environments. The keyboard is designed for gaming, with highlighted WASD keys and a dedicated NitroSense key for quick access to system settings. The keyboard has a rather long key travel and a clicky, yet non-intrusive feedback, making it comfortable for typing and gaming. Some variants come with a red backlight, while others offer customizable RGB lighting.<ref name="specs" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-nitro-5-an515-44-review-they-swapped-intel-for-amd/#:~:text=In%20terms%20of%20usability%2C%20the%20keyboard%20has%20a%20rather%20long%20key%20travel%20and%20a%20clicky%2C%20yet%20non%2Dintrusive%20feedback. |title=Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 Review |publisher=LaptopMedia |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 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>


=== [[Touchpad]] ===
=== [[Touchpad]] ===
The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures, allowing for intuitive navigation and control. It is responsive and provides a smooth user experience for everyday tasks. However, it is made out of plastic and has a tendency to attract fingerprints.<ref name="specs" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-nitro-5-an515-44-review-they-swapped-intel-for-amd/#:~:text=In%20terms%20of%20the%20touchpad%2C%20we%20have%20a%20very%20accurate%20and%20responsive%20device. |title=Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 Review |publisher=LaptopMedia |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>
The laptop is equipped with a buttonless Mylar surface multi-touch touchpad, measuring 75 x 120 mm (2.95 x 4.72 inches), providing a smooth and responsive input experience.<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%20(2.95%20x%204.72%20inches) |title=Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 - Technical Specifications |publisher=Lenovo |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>


The touchpad measures 10.5 x 7.5 cm and provides good gliding capabilities, although the button clicks are loud and clattery.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-44-Laptop-Review-AMD-dating-Nvidia.478287.0.html#:~:text=The%20red%2Dframed%20touchpad%E2%80%99s%20footprint%20of%2010.5%20x%207.5%20cm%20(4.1%20x%203%20inches)%20is%20more%20than%20adequate%20for%20a%2015%2Dinch%20laptop. |title=Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 Laptop Review: AMD dating Nvidia |publisher=NotebookCheck |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>
 
=== [[Webcam]] ===
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 webcam is noted for producing decent images even in poorly lit rooms, though it lacks an IR sensor for facial recognition.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultrabookreview.com/64102-lenovo-legion-pro-5i-review-4070/#:~:text=The%20webcam%20on%20this%20model%20is%20a%20FHD%20shooter. |title=Lenovo Legion Pro 5i review (gen 8 – Core i9, RTX 4070) |publisher=UltrabookReview |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

* A refresh rate of 60 Hz or 144 Hz
* Brightness: 300 nits or 500 nits
* Matte finish (ComfyView) to reduce glare

* Refresh Rate: 165 Hz or 240 Hz
* Contrast Ratio: 1200:1
* Special Features: Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus, TÜV Low Blue Light, DisplayHDR 400
 
The display is designed to provide vibrant colors and smooth visuals, making it suitable for gaming and multimedia consumption.


The high refresh rate is particularly beneficial for gaming, providing smoother visuals and reducing motion blur. The display has comfortable viewing angles, a good contrast ratio of 1190:1, and adequate default settings. However, it covers only 51% of the sRGB color gamut and uses PWM for brightness adjustment, which can be harmful to the eyes.<ref name="specs" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-nitro-5-an515-44-review-they-swapped-intel-for-amd/#:~:text=Acer%20Nitro%205%20(AN515%2D44)%20has%20a%20Full%20HD%20IPS%20panel%20with%20a%20model%20number%20BOE%20NV156FHM%2DN48%20(BOE0818). |title=Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 Review |publisher=LaptopMedia |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 display's brightness averages 270.6 cd/m², with a contrast ratio of 1148:1. However, the color space coverage is limited, with only 61% of sRGB and 43% of AdobeRGB.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-5-AN515-44-Laptop-Review-AMD-dating-Nvidia.478287.0.html#:~:text=Overall%20picture%20quality%20is%20rather%20poor. |title=Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 Laptop Review: AMD dating Nvidia |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. While it is not the brightest or most colorful display compared to competitors like the Razer Blade 14, it offers sufficient vibrancy for gaming and multimedia tasks.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/lenovo-legion-5-pro#:~:text=The%20Legion%205%20Pro%20did%20decently%20on%20our%20color%20tests%20and%20reproduced%2082.4%25%20of%20the%20%2C%20beating%20the%2077.9%25%20mainstream%20gaming%20average. |title=Lenovo Legion 5 Pro review: Affordable gaming perfection |publisher=LaptopMag |accessdate=2024-07-19}}</ref>

Input Devices

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

Keyboard

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.[21]

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.[22]

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.[23]

Touchpad

The laptop is equipped with a buttonless Mylar surface multi-touch touchpad, measuring 75 x 120 mm (2.95 x 4.72 inches), providing a smooth and responsive input experience.[24]

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.[25]

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.[26]

Webcam

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.[27]

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.[28]

The webcam is noted for producing decent images even in poorly lit rooms, though it lacks an IR sensor for facial recognition.[29]

Output Devices

Display

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 features a 16-inch IPS display with the following specifications[30][31]:

  • Resolution: 2560 x 1600
  • Brightness: 300 nits or 500 nits
  • Color Gamut: 100% sRGB or DCI-P3
  • Refresh Rate: 165 Hz or 240 Hz
  • Contrast Ratio: 1200:1
  • Special Features: Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus, TÜV Low Blue Light, DisplayHDR 400

The display is designed to provide vibrant colors and smooth visuals, making it suitable for gaming and multimedia consumption.

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.[32]

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.[33]

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.[34]

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. While it is not the brightest or most colorful display compared to competitors like the Razer Blade 14, it offers sufficient vibrancy for gaming and multimedia tasks.[35]

Audio

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 is equipped with stereo speakers, 2W x2, optimized with Nahimic Audio, and a dual-microphone array for clear audio input.[36]

The speakers are average in loudness, with a maximum volume of 72 dB(A), which is quieter than expected compared to most other gaming laptops. The audio quality is balanced in mids and highs, but bass is nearly absent.[37]

The speakers are noted to be poor, with limited volume and bass, making them less suitable for multimedia consumption without external audio devices.[38]

The Legion 5 Pro's audio system, despite being bottom-firing, delivers a surprisingly crisp and clear sound. While it can sound hollow at times, it is generally loud and punchy, providing a satisfactory audio experience for gaming and music.[39]

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 is equipped with multiple USB ports, including one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, providing versatile connectivity options.[45]

The laptop lacks Thunderbolt support, which is a notable omission for users seeking high-speed data transfer and connectivity options.[46]

Display Outputs

The laptop supports up to four independent displays, with HDMI supporting up to 4K@60Hz and USB-C supporting up to 4K@60Hz.[47]

Case

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 is available in Onyx grey and Abyss Blue and is constructed with an aluminum top and PC-ABS bottom, providing a durable and stylish design.[48]

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.[49]

The design is noted for its good build quality, with a metal lid and sturdy plastic for the lower half. The laptop is described as having a professional appearance, suitable for both gaming and work environments.[50]

The AMD Legion Pro 5 16ARX8 shares the same chassis as the Intel Legion Pro 5 16IRX8. While there are usually a few port differences between most AMD and Intel variants, there are actually none between these two models since Lenovo has opted to exclude both USB 4 and Thunderbolt support on all Legion 5 Pro SKUs regardless of CPU option.[51]

The Legion 5 Pro's design is simple yet sturdy, featuring a smooth black lid with the Lenovo and Legion logos. The laptop's hinge is strong, and the chassis is robust, providing a solid feel when handled.[52]

Maintenance

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 is designed with a focus on durability and longevity, with limited user-serviceable parts. Lenovo provides support and service options for maintenance and repairs.[53]

The bottom panel can be easily removed with a Philips screwdriver, revealing 2x M.2 2280 PCIe4 x4 bays, 2x SODIMM slots, and the removable WLAN module. The bays and WLAN slot are covered by aluminum heat spreaders.[54]

Cooling System

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 features the Legion Coldfront 5.0 cooling system, designed to maintain optimal performance during intensive tasks. The system includes fans and heat sinks to dissipate heat efficiently.[55]

The cooling solution consists of two ~60 mm fans and four copper heat pipes. Fan noise during low loads is stable at 26.6 dB(A), while gaming noise stabilizes at 47.6 dB(A). Under extreme stress, noise can reach 55 dB(A). The cooling system is effective, keeping the device quiet under most loads, with fan noise only becoming noticeable under extreme stress tests.[56]

The cooling system is noted for its ability to maintain low noise levels even under load, with fan noise described as tolerable. However, some users have reported high-pitched fan noise, which may vary between units.[57]

The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX variant, tested with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, shows that fan noise when gaming is about the same between the AMD and Intel models at around 48 dB(A). If the CPU is stressed considerably more, however, fan noise can reach a maximum of 54 dB(A).[58]

The Legion 5 Pro can get hot during use, with the touchpad reaching around 77.5 degrees Fahrenheit and the center of the keyboard hitting 88 degrees. The hottest point near the hinge at the underside reaches 96.5 degrees, which is above the comfort threshold.[59]

Energy Management

This section was written by AI and requires review. Remove this after review.

Power Consumption

The Legion Pro 5/5i Gen 8 is equipped with an 80Wh battery, supporting Super Rapid Charge Pro for fast charging capabilities.[60]

The system is unusually demanding when idling on desktop, with a minimum power consumption of 24 W, compared to 10 W to 15 W on alternatives. Running _Witcher 3_ draws 179 W, while maximum draw reaches 250 W from the 300 W AC adapter.[61]

The AMD model is more power efficient than the Intel model when idling on desktop. Otherwise, both models demand about the same amount of power when running higher loads like games. Both models also ship with the same 300 W AC adapter which provides more than enough headroom for the ~140 W GPU and ~100 W CPU.[62]

Battery Life

The battery life is designed to support extended use, with claims of up to 5.3 hours on MobileMark 2018 and 6.8 hours of local video playback at 150 nits brightness.[63]

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.[64]

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.[65]

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.[66]

The Legion 5 Pro's battery life is subpar, lasting 4 hours and 38 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery test, which involves continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits. This is below the category average of 5 hours and 13 minutes.[67]
