  • Compared: 16-inch MacBook Pro vs Lenovo Legion 5

    A better comparison against the new 16-inch MacBook Pro would be the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, which offers a few improvements over the Legion 5 non-Pro.

    Lenovo's web site (https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/legion-5-pro-16ach6h/wmd00000468) right now offers a L5P AMD for $2079.99. Here are a few of the differences it has from the above:

    16.0" 2560x1600 display (with no notch), 500 nits, 165 Hz
    AMD Ryzen 5800H CPU (8 cores, 16 threads)
    2 TB PCIe SSD
    RGB backlit keyboard, 4 zones

    Dropping from a 3070 to a 3060 GPU brings the price down to $1869.99.

    I replaced my 2013 Retina MacBook Pro with a Legion 5 Pro a few months ago. The biggest downside is the weight (5.4 pounds, plus another 2 pounds for the 300W power supply). Leaving the Apple ecosystem for Windows is a mixed bag with some benefits and some drawbacks.

    But when all was said and done, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. The reason I chose the L5P is because when I'm on the road (or on the back porch) and I want to play a game, this can handle anything I throw at it. Macs just aren't good for games.
