Introduction

The **Lenovo Legion 5 15AHP G10** (aka Legion 5 Gen 10, 15-inch AMD variant) is one of the most talked-about midrange gaming laptops in 2025. With its striking **OLED 165 Hz display**, AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor, and NVIDIA RTX 5060 GPU, it promises a combination of visuals and performance rarely seen at this tier. In this review, we’ll dig into real performance, gaming benchmarks, battery, thermals, pros & cons, and whether it’s a smart buy for gamers, creators, or hybrid users.

Performance & Gaming Benchmarks

In NotebookCheck’s tests, the Legion 5 15AHP outperforms many peers in its class, particularly thanks to its robust GPU and efficient cooling. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8} The OLED panel also contributes minimal lag, making high-refresh gaming feel fluid. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

In PCMark and gaming benchmarks, it scores well above average for its tier, with RTX 5060 able to hold high frame rates in many modern esports and AAA titles (with DLSS / upscaling) :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}. The display lets you drive QHD+ settings in some games or push high FPS at FHD/1440p with great visuals.

Display, Input & Build Quality

The **165 Hz OLED** is a standout feature — deep blacks, vibrant colors, HDR support, and accurate color reproduction. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} Competitors often use IPS or mini-LED; the OLED gives Legion 5 a visual edge. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

The keyboard is responsive with good travel; the chassis feels solid, though the OLED variant sacrifices a bit of thickness vs older models. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13} Thermal vents, port placement, and overall ergonomics are well balanced for a 15-inch gaming laptop.

Thermals, Noise & Battery Life

Under load, the Legion 5 does generate heat (especially around the GPU zone), but Lenovo’s cooling solution keeps throttling in check and noise manageable. The OLED panel runs cooler than many IPS displays under dark content, helping overall thermal profile.

In lighter usage (e.g. video playback, web), battery runtimes are respectable for a gaming laptop. The 80 Wh battery with rapid charging support helps. In heavier gaming or rendering sessions, battery life drops as expected—this is still primarily a plugged-in machine.

Pros & Cons

Pros ✅

• Striking OLED 165 Hz display with excellent color and contrast
• Strong CPU + GPU combo (Ryzen 7 260 + RTX 5060)
• Upgradeable RAM / storage (2 SO-DIMMs) :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
• Balanced design and I/O set for gaming and productivity
• Competitive pricing for the features offered

Cons ⚠️

• OLED may suffer burn-in risk (as with all OLEDs) if static content is shown long
• Thermals/noise under sustained heavy load can get noticeable
• Battery life in high-load/gaming is limited (plug-in recommended)
• Some variants may have trade-offs in cooling or power delivery depending on configuration

Final Verdict

The **Lenovo Legion 5 15AHP G10** is one of the most compelling balanced gaming laptops in 2025. Its OLED display gives it a visual edge, and the Ryzen 7 + RTX 5060 combo provides robust gaming and creative performance. While it’s not perfect (thermals, battery under load), for those who value display quality and versatile performance in a 15″ form, it’s an excellent option.
