Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Review – Ryzen 9 Power Meets 240Hz IPS in Bangladesh | Byte City BD

Last Updated: July 25, 2026

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 with AMD’s Ryzen 9 8940HX is a statement piece. It takes everything that makes the standard Legion 5 great and pushes it further with a 16-inch WQXGA 240Hz IPS display, a more powerful 8-core processor, and a generous 1TB SSD out of the box. For Bangladeshi gamers who want a larger, faster screen without jumping to OLED pricing, this Pro variant makes a compelling case.

At Byte City BD, we see this as the “enthusiast’s Legion” — the one you buy when 165Hz doesn’t cut it anymore and you want every competitive advantage possible.

Performance — Ryzen 9 Authority

The Ryzen 9 8940HX is a step up from the Ryzen 7 variants you’ll find in most mid-range gaming laptops. Built on AMD’s proven architecture, it delivers higher clock speeds and more aggressive boosting behavior, which translates to snappier frame rates in CPU-bound games and faster render times in creative apps.

Paired with the RTX 5060 8GB, this Legion handles 1440p gaming with authority:

• Esports titles: 200+ FPS on high settings — and the 240Hz display shows every single frame.
• AAA games at 2560×1600: 60–80 FPS with DLSS and ray tracing enabled.
• Streaming & creation: The RTX 5060’s NVENC encoder handles OBS and content creation without breaking a sweat.

The 1TB SSD is a welcome upgrade over 512GB base models. You can install a solid library of AAA games — think Call of Duty, FIFA, Elden Ring, and a couple of indie titles — without immediately worrying about storage.

Display — 240Hz IPS for Competitive Dominance

The 16-inch WQXGA 240Hz IPS panel is the star of this configuration. While OLED models grab headlines with their color depth, this IPS display wins where it matters for competitive gamers: raw speed.

• 240Hz refresh rate = significantly smoother motion than 165Hz panels. In fast-paced shooters, that extra headroom genuinely helps with tracking enemies and landing flick shots.
• 3ms response time = minimal ghosting and blur during rapid camera movements.
• 500 nits brightness = visible even in well-lit Bangladeshi rooms and under fluorescent lights.
• Matte anti-glare coating = no distracting reflections during intense gaming sessions.
• 100% sRGB = accurate colors for content creation and media consumption.
• G-SYNC + FreeSync = tear-free gaming regardless of your frame rate.

The 16:10 aspect ratio adds vertical space that makes multitasking, coding, and document editing more comfortable than traditional 16:9 panels.

Design, Ports & Build

At 2 kg, this is a substantial machine — not a daily commuter, but not a desk anchor either. The chassis feels solid with minimal flex, and the white backlit keyboard keeps things clean and professional. Key travel is satisfying, and the full layout includes everything you need for both gaming and productivity.

Port selection is generous: dual USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1 and PD 3.0, triple USB-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and Ethernet. You can dock to an external monitor, charge peripherals, and still have ports left for your mouse and headset.

Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 are future-proof wireless standards that ensure this laptop stays relevant as your home network evolves.

Battery & Thermals

The 60Wh battery is smaller than the 80Wh found in some Legion variants, delivering around 3–4 hours of light productivity. This is very much a “bring the charger” laptop for anything beyond quick tasks. The included adapter handles full-power gaming, and the USB-C PD port supports charging for lighter use.

Thermally, the larger 16-inch chassis helps with heat dissipation. The keyboard deck stays comfortable during extended sessions, and fan noise — while present under load — stays in the manageable range.

Pros & Cons
