Is the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 worth it?
Yes — the best all-rounder for the money.
You get a bright, accurate 15.1-inch 2560×1600 OLED, a full-power RTX 5060 that runs most games at high settings, and a solid chassis under 2 kg. The fans get loud in games, and many 16 GB units come with a single memory stick, which is worth fixing with a second one.
Good to know
- Many 16 GB builds come with a single memory stick; a second matching stick fixes stutter in some games.
- The Intel version lasts 3–5 hours away from the plug; the AMD version closer to 9.
- The OLED flickers (PWM) at low brightness, which bothers some people.
- No SD card reader.
- Make sure it's the 2025 model: 15IRX10 or 15AHP10 in the name, with a 15.1" or 15.3" screen. The 2026 Gen 11 replaces it.
- Bright, accurate 2.5K OLED screen
- Full-power RTX 5060
- Solid build under 2 kg

How we reached this verdict
Notebookcheck called it the best mainstream gaming laptop of 2025 (87%): its OLED measured about 495 nits and the RTX 5060 ran Cyberpunk at 91 fps at 1080p Ultra. Tom's Guide gave it 4.5/5 for value and build. Both found the fans loud, and PC Gamer (76%) showed how much the single memory stick holds it back in heavy games.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
