Lenovo Legion 5: Do more than just game

Watch, work, and play with power

Published

We’ve talked about reasons you should get a gaming laptop even if you don’t play before. But, a gaming laptop is especially useful if you’re a professional on the go in need of a powerful device.

Well, here’s a gaming laptop that’s perfect for power, performance, and portability without flaunting tacky flashy gamer design: the Lenovo Legion 5.

Looks can be deceiving

The Legion 5 looks sleek and minimalistic. With a smaller logo, vertical, and circular vents, the Legion 5’s design keeps it simple and stylish. The logo has a classic Legion sheen without screaming like a child needing color.

Gaming specs to simp for

The Legion 5 has a stunning 15.6-inch FHD In-Plane Switching (IPS) display with up to 144 Hz refresh rate that’s perfect for immersive work, watch, and play. It may not look like it but the Legion 5 is where minimal meets mighty with its up to AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Mobile Processor with Radeon Graphics and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card.

The AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series Mobile Processors are built for the most demanding gaming and content creation workloads and are the new standard for performance in innovative, thin, and light laptops. With 8 7nm “Zen 2” cores that are optimized for pairing with powerful discrete graphics cards, you can experience an uncompromising, desktop-caliber performance through the Legion 5’s up to AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Mobile Processor.

If keeping your cool is a struggle in and of itself, you’re in luck. You won’t have to stack your worries about the Legion 5 on top of all the other things you’re anxious about.

It’s equipped with the Legion Coldfront 2.0 to keep everything nice and chilled. On top of that, it’s got up to 16GB memory and 1TB internal storage–giving you breathing space for work and play.

Devil’s in the details

As much as the Legion 5’s design is minimalistic and muted, the devil’s in the details with this one. On top of gaming specs under the hood, the Legion 5 features the Legion TrueStrike keyboard tailor-made for gamers.

The keyboard promises 100% anti-ghosting on all keys, soft landing switches, and a response time of <1ms.

Let the sound consume you

With the Legion 5’s built-in Dolby Atmos Speaker System, you get to fully immerse in the games you play or in the series that you binge-watch. The speakers can be custom-tuned through the Dolby Atmos engine.

And, with their game-specific settings, you won’t be coming back to reality. From heightened directional audio to smooth surround sound, we wouldn’t blame you.

The Up-Good gaming laptop

The Legion 5 makes for an absolute unit of a gaming laptop. The pipedream of having both portability and amazing performance exists and it doesn’t flaunt gimmicky vomit-rainbow design.

Moreover, you also don’t have to worry about getting help whenever trouble occurs while using the Legion 5. The notebook is immediately bundled with the Lenovo Premium Care warranty service that’s good for three years. Reduce downtime, increase efficiency, and keep on moving with Premium Care solutions designed to provide an advanced and tailored level of care such as a 24/7 direct hotline to technicians, comprehensive hardware and software support, and an Annual PC Health Check.

If you’re interested, the Legion 5 is available in Legion Exclusive Stores, authorized resellers, and the Lenovo Legion Flagship Store in Lazada with a starting price of PHP 52,995. Learn more about the device by visiting its page on the Lenovo Legion Philippines website.

I took the vivo V60 to Han So Hee’s fanmeet

Fan energy, camera tested

It’s not every day you get to see Han So Hee in person. On September 13, I found myself at her Manila fan meeting. This was my first time at a fan meet, and the energy was noticeably different from the K-Pop girl group concerts I frequent—softer, more intimate, but just as filled with devotion.

Han So Hee was visibly tired, but that almost made the night more moving. You could see her push through with genuine effort to show appreciation for her fans. At one point, she even stepped off the stage to take a selfie with a fan who had shared a deeply personal story. I wasn’t fast enough to capture it, but the moment spoke volumes.

This isn’t the aforementioned moment. Close enough, though.

The fanmeet

The program had playful bits too. A highlight was when she was asked to copy poses from fan art. It was a treat both for the fans and for my camera—visually sharp, fun to shoot, and perfectly suited for social feeds.

Somewhere in between, she also revealed a small but telling personal preference: she’s a binge-watcher. She wants to know how a story ends, so she’d rather power through a series than wait week after week.

So Hee thinking about her answer during the quiz session where we learned she’s a binge-watcher.

And then there was the hi-touch session. I wasn’t sure how I’d react until it was my turn. I walked up, scrunched my nose at her, and she did the same back. 

It wasn’t a hi-five, it was a firmware upgrade for my soul.

We weren’t allowed to take photos or videos during hi-touch so this is So Hee with a cute pouty face instead.

The funny thing is, before the event, a friend had asked me which of her dramas they should watch. Without hesitation, I rattled off a list—My Name and Soundtrack #1 topping my recommendations. That’s when I realized I wasn’t just there to test a device. Somewhere along the way, I’d actually become a fan.

vivo V60

Still, I did bring along the vivo V60. Seated further from the stage, it became the perfect challenge for the phone’s telephoto camera and Stage Mode. I was a bit disappointed to learn that Stage Mode only worked for photos this time around. I’d had such a good time using it for fancams on the vivo X200 Pro that it felt like a step back.

Even so, the V60 held up. Shots within a reasonable range looked clean, and those where I didn’t push the zoom too hard were the best. Once you go beyond 10x, things get dicey.

At that point, it’s less ‘zoom’ and more ‘interpretive art,’ but Han So Hee’s face card refused to fold.

But that’s also the charm—having a camera that helps you capture fleeting moments, even from a distance, made me appreciate the fan meeting differently.

That night wasn’t really about testing tech. It was about being present for a star who, despite the fatigue, showed up wholeheartedly. The V60 was just my lens into it all—a reminder that sometimes the best shots are the ones that let you relive how it felt to be there.

Here are a few more photos from the fanmeet.

Ghost of Yotei isn’t just a game you play, it’s a story you carry with you. The Collector’s Edition captures that spirit in every piece.

Front and center is a full-scale replica of Atsu’s Ghost mask — cast in resin, sized to match Jin’s mask from Ghost of Tsushima, and ready for display on its own stand. Place them side by side and you’ve got a legacy in the making.

You also get Atsu’s sash, stitched with the names of the Yotei Six. It stretches a full 71 inches and feels right at home draped across your wall or pulled into a cosplay.

Then there’s the replica Tsuba from Atsu’s katana — the twin wolves forged by her father, now forged for your shelf.

The set goes beyond display pieces, too. Inside the box you’ll find a pouch of coins with rules for Zeni Hajiki, letting you play the same game of skill Atsu does in her journey. There’s a papercraft ginkgo tree with a wolf at its base, and a set of four art cards that capture the game’s heart in frameable snapshots.

And of course, all of this comes with the Digital Deluxe content and a digital copy of the game itself.

The Ghost of Yotei Collector’s Edition will retail for $249.99 | €249.99 | 31,980 JPY. For Southeast Asia, pricing is SGD 318.90 / MYR 969 / IDR 3,349,000 / THB 7,449 / PHP 11,490 / VND 5,799,000.

This isn’t just a bundle of items — it’s a tangible extension of the story, crafted for fans who want to keep Yotei alive long after the credits roll.
