Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H Repair

The Lenovo Legion line is a popular gaming brand from Beijing, China. They specialize in pre-built gaming computers, laptops, monitors, and peripherals. They revealed their first line of gaming laptops, the Y Series back in 2017 (Y520, Y720, Y920). Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H came out in 2021 (Gen 6). The current line of laptops as of 2023 are on generation 8 and follow three series, the Pro series, Slim series, and 9 series. Each generation has upgraded specs, gen 6 had RTX 30 series GPU, while gen 8 has a RTX 40 series.

The intended audience is gamers, but VFX, 3D renderers can all take advantage of the high specs of the Legion series, especially the CPU & GPU when it comes to rendering. The price of these Pro Series laptops ranges anywhere from $1400-$3400 (CAD)/$1000-$1800 (USD) from the official site.

Complaints about this device include the power brick for the charging cable. Power brick is 300w which is insanely big and heavy for a laptop that's supposed to be portable. Another common complaint for consumers is the track pad. It’s shifted to the left a bit too much which makes your palm always touch the pad when you're typing or playing games (Lee, 2021).

To find the serial number of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro you can look at the label that's usually printed on the side or the back of the laptop, alternatively you can use software and commands to find out on the support website. A physical difference between the gen 6 Pro 5 and the gen 8 pro 5 is the fan shape. Gen 6 fans are diagonal while Gen 8 are horizontally straight. Another big difference is the logo on the back of the screen. Gen 6 has the Y light up logo, while Gen 8 doesn’t.
