Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Vs Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

In this video, I'm putting head-to-head the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 Vs Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. This Intel vs Ryzen showdown should be interesting. Which one will win out? ►⏩►⏩ Check specs and pricing in the links below…

Overall if I were going to take one of these laptops on the go with me I would choose the Zephyrus M16. It is thin, light has great battery life, and really packs a punch. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is great as well, but personally, I think the Zephyrus M16 beats it out.

Spoiler: L5P wins, but buy the m16 instead because it looks better

I think ur battery life results might be inaccurate, as jarrod compared these 2 laptops and the legion 5 pro had a much longer battery life. Also dont forget to use the fn + r shortcut to switch the display on the legion to 60hz, which is done automatically by the asus m16. Great video tho!

I finally got my 5 pro. Bro this laptop is massive awesome and sleek its actually smaller than I taut and this screen is BEAUTIFUULLLL feel super premium

[alek]

I didn't know they made mini cards anymore. I only ever see full SD and Micro SD cards now

M16 question-

Ben, quick question. When I click your link to purchase, on the Best Buy App, there is another option with the 3070 right above the subject laptop.

Same price.

The specs look the same(unless I'm mistaken).

Is that a better option? Purchasing today thru your link.

Appreciate all the help!

Great video Ben! But did you set up a NVIDIA accelerated decoding & encoding while testing Legion 5 in Premiere Pro? I wonder how that compers to Intel's quick sync avialable in M16.

[tejas.p]

The top vent on m16 is for air outlet not inlet...which can affect the display

[flopy]

Very well! What is the difference between intel legion 5 pro and amd legion 5 pro?

[akshat]

I am concerned with the hinge of Rog M16. With prolonged use can that hinge break or become kind of loose? How is the build quality of M16?

[barrierankin]

Comprehensive review Ben, I think you should spend more time on your conclusions. Also the cpu/gpu match up was a little disappointing

[Havanu]

You're not in focus during the whole video. The computers are, but next time I'd use a less narrow aperture to avoid that from happening. Nice work regardless!

[iamadityavaishy]

I want to buy one of them. While weight wise M16 is ahead;
Next key feature is the battery.
Please redo the battery test once so that I can buy.
Thanks for the rest in-depth comparision.

I'd love if you do a comparison between the Legion 7 and the Zephyrus M16

[joelconolly]

The Legion 5i Pro with 3060 costs just as much as 5 Pro with the 3070. Truth be told I want to buy the Intel Legion but they don't offer 3070 and it's like more money for only better performance. Man I wish Intel would only be slightly less than its current pricing. Sometimes wanting Intel sucks

1900h Rtx 3060 ram 16g for 3 days now . I have some question about it .
1. When I run forza at it use Intel GPU 60% to 70% and 15% on NVIDIA GPU .
2.when I play Dota 2 it run 30% of Intel GPU and 37% NVIDIA GPU .
3 .on GTA 5 it run 75% of Intel GPU and 30% on NVIDIA GPU.
I run all three game with ultra setting but the fps does not drop and graphic still best . It work fine .
Does anything wrong with my laptop ?
I update all of software already

[aqramulhazim]

Should I buy gaming laptop right now or wait for 2022 CES
Need some help particular in High Demanding Graphics Game

[abhinavg]

Performance, efficiency: L5P
Portability, aesthetic: M16

[redlance]

Awesome video man! I just wanted to know if the USB-C ports on the L5P are display 1.4 compatible.. thanks!

[junaidgaming]

Why no one is talking about Legion 5 Pro Intel variant with i7 11800H?

[ittbelitt]

Damm I can’t find the 3070 version anywhere do you think the 3070 m16 is better than this L5P?
