Lenovo Legion 5 (2021) Overview, Price:

Design, Display

The 2021 edition of Legion 5 features an all-plastic build quality. There’s a subtle “Legion” branding on the top left corner of the laptop’s lid and a “Lenovo” branding on the bottom right. As for cooling, Lenovo says its “Legion Coldfront 3.0” technology helps deliver great performance with zero throttling even under long gaming sessions. The slightly more premium Legion 5 Pro has an even better thermal system, by the way.

Anyway, this cooling solution includes two fans with quad-channel exhaust and a large air intake vent at the bottom and underneath each keyboard switch. The laptop comes in two finishes: Phantom Black and Phantom Blue. But you can also find the Stingray White color option in certain markets.
