Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10: RTX 50 power with OLED display
With an NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU and a 2K 165Hz OLED display, the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 delivers premium performance at a mid-range price point, making it a compelling choice for gamers.
The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 arrives in a market where gaming laptops are increasingly demanding high configurations at expensive prices. This model stands out as a balanced solution, providing access to NVIDIA RTX 50-series GPU technology and a high-quality OLED display without requiring users to invest too much money.
The product is aimed at gamers who want to experience modern graphics features such as frame generation technology but have a limited budget. Legion 5 Gen 10 is positioned as one of the top choices in the high-performance gaming laptop segment at a reasonable price in 2025.
Minimalist and efficient design
The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 has a more premium look than its actual price. The device has a simple design with a dominant black tone, giving it a sophisticated look. Although not as thin and light as high-end models like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, the Legion 5 Gen 10 is still compact enough to ensure portability.
The chassis is subtly decorated with Legion and Lenovo logos. A common design feature on gaming laptops today is the rear of the device protruding behind the screen, creating more space for the cooling system and connection ports. The webcam of the device is located on a protruding part, making it easier to open the lid, but it lacks a physical cover.
The keyboard is full-size with RGB backlighting, including a numeric keypad. The trackpad is of moderate size, suitable for common tasks. The power button is placed separately, contributing to the neatness of the keyboard area.
Superior visual experience with 2K OLED display
The main highlight of the Legion 5 Gen 10 is its 15.1-inch OLED display with WQXGA (2560 x 1600) resolution. Having an OLED panel on a laptop in this price segment is a big plus. The display delivers vivid colors, high contrast, and deep blacks typical of OLED technology.
With a 165Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution, the screen delivers sharp images and smooth motion, making it ideal not only for gaming but also for watching movies and other entertainment content. The 16:10 aspect ratio also provides more vertical display space. However, a small drawback is that the screen surface is quite glossy, which can easily cause reflections in brightly lit environments.
Powerful performance with RTX 50-series
The Legion 5 Gen 10 review unit is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, while the standard version uses an RTX 5050. Both deliver impressive performance, especially when taking advantage of framerate technology, a game-changing feature of this graphics card line.
In tests with modern titles like Battlefield 6, the device was able to achieve a stable frame rate of 60fps with medium graphics settings and high resolution. With frame shaping enabled, the frame rate can increase significantly, sometimes reaching over 180fps without sacrificing image quality. This allows users to experience smooth gameplay at higher graphics settings.
In terms of processor, the machine offers options between AMD Ryzen 7 260 (clock speed 3.80GHz, can increase to 5.10GHz) and Intel Core i7, ensuring that there is no CPU bottleneck. However, like many other gaming laptops, the machine's cooling system is quite noisy when handling heavy tasks.
