Lenovo Legion 5 Stingray White: Perfect blend

Of power, performance, and portability

Alright, Legion really just added minimalistic aesthetics to the chat. But, before we sink our teeth into the good-good, we need to talk about how some of you don’t need to be intimidated.

A gaming laptop is especially useful if you’re a professional on the go in need of a powerful device, we get it. There are valid reasons you should get a gaming laptop even if you don’t play. You don’t want to be outed for having a “gaming” laptop without being a try-hard gamer.

Well, you’re pretty much in luck: here’s a gaming laptop that’s perfect for power, performance, and portability without flaunting tacky flashy gamer design: the Lenovo Legion 5 Stingray White.

Got a working pair of eyes?

It’s stunning. If you don’t think so, you need your eyes checked ASAP. Are you kidding me? The Legion 5 Stingray White looks sleek and minimalistic. With a smaller logo, vertical, and circular vents, the Legion 5’s design keeps it simple and stylish.

The Legion 5 decked itself out with convenient connection ports on three sides while keeping everything pragmatically designed. They’ve made sure to position and place ports to keep wires out of sight and out of the way. Plus, the logo has a classic Legion sheen without puking rainbow.

All aboard the simp train!

The Legion 5 has a stunning 15.6-inch FHD display with up to 165 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 5800H processor and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card.

These processors are built for the most demanding gaming and content creation workloads. It’s really no surprise that this is the new standard for performance in thin and light laptops. They promise uncompromising, desktop-caliber performance. Plus, it’s got up to 16GB memory and 1TB internal storage–giving you breathing space for both work and play.

All talk, no play?

The moment I got the Legion 5 Stingray White, I instantly installed Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Dota 2, and Ghostrunner. Granted, not necessarily the three go-to games to instantly install into any gaming laptop, it was a good bunch to test the laptop’s performance.

The laptop didn’t screech or stutter for help and had ample space for more silly indie games I wanted to play. Running Ghostrunner can be a different story though. Considering the god-awful demands this game needs to run smoothly, even desktops quiver at it sometimes. Just shamelessly tinker with the settings. There’s really nothing wrong with that.

Play, watch, and chill

If you’re reasonably worried about overheating, you’re in luck. You won’t have to stack your worries about the Legion 5. Its Coldfront cooling system keeps everything nice and chilled. But, if you’re looking for a crutch to the reliable cooling, it’s that the fans can get stupid loud sometimes.

Before you go off on that itsy-bitsy booboo, I do want to say: I’m sure some of you are used to the whirring from most desktops by now. Most things are a better trade-off than a fried laptop.

Devil is in the details, my friend

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 percent anti-ghosting on all keys, soft landing switches, and a response time of <1ms.

And, while that gives you an edge for regular professional use, the laptop’s Dolby Atmos Speaker System hits immersive gaming and binge-watching differently. You won’t be coming back to reality with their game-specific settings. From heightened directional audio to smooth surround sound, we wouldn’t blame you.

Down bad for the Stingray White?

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.

On the topic of design though, the Lenovo Legion 5 we got to play with came in Stingray White instead of the Phantom Blue. And, oh boy, it was a looker. I was going to say this might just be the only visuals you’ll be able to lay your fingers on but, I’ll just leave it at that.

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 Lenovo Legion 5 Stingray White is available in Legion Exclusive Stores, authorized resellers, and the Lenovo Legion Flagship Store in Lazada and is priced at PhP 89,995. Learn more about the device by visiting its page on the Lenovo Legion Philippines website.

THE Michael Josh just got back from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas — the annual tech event that attracts all the biggest tech brands.

One of which is none other than ASUS, Taiwan’s biggest computing giant. They have launched the first wave of Windows laptops for 2026. There’s a full lineup — models for everyday folks, creators, and gamers.

However, we are focusing on these Zenbooks favorites the show: the updated 2026 Zenbook DUO and Zenbook A14, as well as a bigger Zenbook A16 model.

Eager to know more about them? Here’s our Spotlight on the three power-packed ASUS Zenbooks at CES 2026.

At this year’s CES 2026 in Las Vegas, TCL CSOT (China Star Optoelectronics Technology) and Lenovo have further proved their long-term partnership. The newest Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept and the motorola razr fold are equipped with displays by TCL CSOT.

Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept

The continuous collaboration of the two mighty Chinese companies bring out something that has been envisioned in laptops for quite a while now.

Ever imagined of a conventional laptop with standard 16:9 display that can instantly stretch into a 21:9 widescreen monitor? Well, the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept proves it’s more than possible.

Pioneering this partnership starts with TCL CSOT’s rollable display. Dubbed as the Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display. From a regular 16-inch 16:9 display, it completely transforms into an ultra-wide screen — stretching between 21.5 all the way to 24 inches.

For gamers and even e-sports athletes who seek visual flexibility (literally and figuratively), the display adapts to three (3) different training phases.

Focus Mode (16 inches) for honing reflexes
Tactical Mode (21.5 inches) for enhanced situational awareness
Arena Mode (24 inches) for full-scale competitive simulation

Behind that rollable display tech by TCL CSOT lies a dual-motor, tension-based system. This not only means that the rollable display can unroll smoothly, the expansion is not just controlled, its contraction also delivers minimal vibration and noise.

There’s also a dedicated tensioning mechanism that ensures consistent tautness across the OLED panel. Low-friction materials then secures durability throughout the rolling cycle.

motorola razr fold

Finally, after a long wait, motorola finally unveils their first ever book-style foldable.

The motorola razr fold headlines TCL CSOT’s 8.1-inch 2K LTPO flexible inner display. And unlike most foldable offerings in the market today, it supports a stylus!

When closed, its 6.6-inch external display delivers the familiarity of a candy-bar smartphone. Furthermore, its sleek, striking, and slim silhouette will feel comfortable in one’s hands.

Not much has been shared but more details will soon be unfolded by motorola.

The Co-Innovation Legacy

The steady legacy of TCL CSOT and Lenovo has already delivered consumer-ready products past the convention center show floor showcase.

Those include the Lenovo Yoga Slim 9i with a flexible 4K OLED display unveiled at CES 2025. Even the motorola razr 60 series flip-style foldables launched last July 2025 was not missed.

And, with the introduction of the Legion Pro Rollable Concept and the motorola razr fold, both companies continue to turn advanced display research into practical, user-focused products — setting new standards for performance, comfort, and sustainability.

With past display innovations, these newer advancements offer a more immersive viewing experience, better eye comfort, and flexiblility across various user applications.

This continuous collaboration highlights the companies shared commitment to advancing display technology and elevating the visual experience for users worldwide.

TCL CSOT’s constant strive for innovation is mainly driven by their APEX values:

A-mazing Display Experience
P-rotective of Eye Health
E-co-Friendly to build and use; and
X-Unlimited Imaginative Potential

Jun Zhao, the Senior Vice President of TCL Technology and CEO of TCL CSOT, states that the company is dedicated in providing Lenovo high-quality displays and custom diplay solutions that turn advanced technology into something “We are dedicated to providing Lenovo with high-quality, custom display solutions that turn advanced technology into everyday excellence, and

He also says “they look forward to exploring new frontiers together.”

Favorite Laptops of 2025

This year had some hidden gems.

Published

The mystique of laptops has not abated since the pandemic. Portable PCs are still finding niches in today’s market. Whether you need an on-the-go office machine or a plug-and-play gaming rig, there is a laptop out there for you. This year is no different. As the year closes, it’s time to show some love to our Favorite Laptops of 2025.

ROG Zephyrus G14

As a gaming laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G14 brandishes a lot of the industry’s most powerful hardware. Shining with only a little more accoutrements as a MacBook, this notebook is sleek but a force to be reckoned with under its aluminum chassis.

We described the Zephyrus G14 as a laptop’s equivalent of “quiet luxury”; it doesn’t stand out, but anyone who knows the brand will give you a silent nod of approval. As part of the premium luxury segment, it does have a pretty high price tag, but that’s about the only thing that stops this laptop from being an immediate buy. Everything else is perfect.

Apple M5 MacBook Pro

Before the year ended, Apple dropped a surprising bombshell for its fans. The M5 MacBook Pro brings out a more powerful processor for Apple’s notebook segment. A premium alternative to the M4 MacBook Air, the notebook is “Pro but without the overkill.”

Obviously, it’s not for everyone. But, to those who need an additional jolt of power, the M5 MacBook Pro delivers everything you need and more.

Lenovo Yoga 7i Aura Edition

If you’ve dabbled in notebooks over the past decade, you should recognize Lenovo’s Yoga lineup. The 2-in-1 notebook popularized foldables before foldables were even a thing. With a 360-degree hinge, users can fold the notebook back into a tablet and vice versa.

The Lenovo Yoga 7i Aura Edition is the perfection of this technology, infused with today’s hardware. It’s not a perfect laptop or a perfect tablet, but if you need both, this notebook saves you the hassle of shopping for two separate devices. It’s a great deal.

ASUS Gaming V16

A robust gaming rig might be one of the most expensive things you can spend on today, especially because of rising RAM prices. Thankfully, being a gamer doesn’t have to be just as pricey. The new ASUS Gaming series brings decent gaming performance for a fraction of the price.

The ASUS Gaming V16 is your gateway drug to portable gaming. Starting at only PhP 59,995, the notebook offers users a taste of what the gaming world can do. It has a decent Intel Core 5 chipset and an RTX 40 series GPU. Plus, with a 63Whr battery, it’s built for grinding.

Apple M4 MacBook Air

If the MacBook Pro is too much power for you, this year’s M4 MacBook Air might fit your needs more. Though it doesn’t have Apple’s latest chipset, it’s still a decent all-around notebook for everyday use.

Because it doesn’t have the most robust hardware, the new MacBook Air is a master of portability. Even if it came out in the first quarter of this year, we were quick to call it one of the best laptops of 2025. As the year winds down, we’re still not taking away that distinction.

Lenovo Legion Go S

In the strictest sense of the word, the Legion Go S technically is not a laptop. Hear us out, though: Being a Windows-powered device, the handheld gaming device can act like a notebook in a pinch. Most importantly, it deserves some love as a computer, too.

For those who were expecting more traditional laptop fare, here’s a refresher: The Legion Go S is a portable gaming device that’s shaped like a Nintendo Switch. One version comes with Windows and can do much of what a laptop can do. Though it doesn’t have a standard keyboard, the power lurking underneath earns it a spot on this list.

ASUS Zenbook A14

There’s only so many ways you can differentiate a laptop from another, while keeping its essence as a notebook intact. In the case of the Zenbook A14, beauty takes center stage. Yes, it looks like any run-of-the-mill notebook, but it will still feel like one of the most premium devices you’ve ever touched.

The notebook sports ASUS’s iconic Ceraluminum which gives the Zenbook A14 a smooth, tactile finish that feels great to lug around. Plus, it weighs only 899 grams, making it handy for portability. If that’s not enough, the PhP 65,996 price tag is so affordable for its quality.
