<p>Here is the refresh to the Lenovo Legion 5 series. The 2022 model like their previous generation is a mid-tier gaming segment laptop. The latest iteration comes with 12th gen Intel chipset coupled with Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics, DDR5 memory and faster storage and connectivity. In this Lenovo Legion 5i  (2022 ) Review let&#8217;s see what is new in the upgrade as well if this makes for a good gaming laptop. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design and Build Quality of Lenovo Legion 5 2022</h2>



<p>The 2022 Legion 5 adds a metal lid cover, while the rest of the case is polycarbonate plastic. It has a matte finish. The metal lid reduces the flex compared to the last year&#8217;s plastic lid. Being a mid-tier segment, the chassis does have a bit of flex to it compared to the high-end Legion 7 series. While Lenovo has managed to make the 2022 model a bit more compact than the previous generation, the weight remains around 2.4 kg, considering it has a metal lid cover in the new model. Being a full-sized laptop and that too a gaming laptop, keep in mind this is still a slightly oversized machine with a dimension of 14.13 x 10.33 x 0.79 inches. This makes it slightly heavier and bulkier to some of the competitors but not considerably more. </p>



<p>The lid can be opened with a single hand. The little projection on the top housing the <strong>fullHD webcam</strong>, makes it easier to open. The hinges are stable and can do 180 degrees flat lay of the display. </p>



<p>Most of the IO ports are placed towards the back behind the screen, which in my opinion is good, and is also unobtrusive. You get a LAN port, another USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2), an HDMI 2.1 connector, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, and the power connector at the back.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20017" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-ports-back-1.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>On the right, there is a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port and an Audio jack. Also you find the e-shutter physical switch for the webcam here.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20013" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-ports.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>And to the left, there is a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port with DisplayPort 1.4 output, as well as a USB4</p>



<p>At the bottom, there is the ventilation grill and the speaker cutouts. The heat exhaust happens through two vents on the back and one on each side of the laptop. The footers are prominent and keep the laptop fixed in position when placed on the table.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20008" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-bottom.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keyboard and Touchpad of Lenovo Legion 5 2022</h2>



<p>Typing on Legion 5 is very comfortable and well, am typing this review right on this machine now.  It has a full-size key and the spaced well. It has a Num-pad section and full-sized arrow keys as well. There is an array of function buttons on the top. The power button with a LED light is placed at the middle on top above the keyboard deck. The power button LED shines in blue, white or red depending on the performance mode you select. </p>



<p>The keyboard has an RGB backlit. There are 4 zones for illumination, and a profile in the Lenovo vantage software to customize it along with other lighting effects. There is no light-dimming button on the keyboard. You need to fiddle with the software for the tweaks. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20009" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Lenovo-Legion-5-keyboard.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The touchpad is quite big with a size of 75 by 120mm. Its Mylar surface is smooth, the tracking is good, and the response time is super quick, which is further aided by the 165Hz display.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Speakers, Webcam and Biometrics</h2>



<p>There is a fullHD webcam housed in the small projection on top of the display, flanked by microphones. There is no privacy shutter for the webcam, but it can be electronically disabled by a press of a switch, which is found in the right side of the laptop. There is no fingerprint sensor or face recognition. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Display of Lenovo Legion 5 2022</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20006" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Legion-5-display_1.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The configuration of the Legion 5i 2022 we got for testing has a Quad-HD 165Hz IPS panel with a 15.6-inch size. It has a matte finish.  The resolution is 2560 x 1440 pixels with a pixel density of 188 ppi. The screen ratio is 16:9.  Do note Lenovo offers many display options in the series.</p>



<p>The viewing angles are excellent. The display as mentioned earlier can be flat-laid. The maximum brightness is around 390 nits in the middle. The display has a 97% sRGB, 71.6% DCI-P3, 73.8% AdobeRGB. The panel has GSync and Advanced Optimus support.</p>



<p>The panel is good for daily use and the 160Hz in my model makes it good for gaming too with good response time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Performance of Lenovo Legion 5i </h2>



<p>Lenovo has refreshed the intel lineup with the 12th gen. The machine I have is powered by Intel Core i7-12700H, with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory in dual channel, and 1 TB of GB of fast SSD storage. The graphics are handled by Nvidia RTX 3060 dGPU with 6 GB of vRAM and the Iris Xe iGPU integrated within the Intel processor.</p>



<p>A MUX is offered here, with several modes including dGPU-only or Advanced Optimus (several Hybrid modes). Switching to dGPU requires a restart while opting between the Hybrid modes does not.</p>



<p>For those who are interested in the synthetic benchmark tests, I have run a few tests for you and also benchmarked the FarCry 5 and Forza 5.  Please note these tests are run on balance mode, and it might be notch higher score on performance mode. </p>



<p>In PCMark 10 test, it delivered a score of 7195 in the Timespy test. In 3DMark test, it returned a healthy 9344 score.</p>

<p>The gaming performance is as expected for a high-power RTX 3060 laptop in 2022.</p>



<p>Lenovo has taken care of thermals with a two fans, four radiators and four heatpipes, there is an extra heatpipe for the GPU. Plus, there are radiator shields on top off RAM modules, SSDs and even the WiFi card. Legion 5 2022 manages a good thermal control for the gaming segment laptop. While playing game in balance mode, the thermal around the keyboard deck was manageable and was under 40 degree, it was only at the back bottom, you see it raises to 50 degree. </p>

<p>The read and write speed has pretty impressive results in the CrustalDisk Mark test.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lenovo Vantage software</h2>



<p>The Lenovo Vantage app is the one-stop place to access power profiles, updates, and other settings. The power profiles are Quiet, Balanced, and Performance, and you can select them from Vantage or switch between them with Fn+Q. Performance is only available with the laptop plugged into the wall. These profiles apply different power settings to the CPU/GPU and different fan profiles.  The RGB illumination lighting can also be tweaked with various presets here. </p>

<p>There are three thermal mode settings &#8211; performance mode, which works when AC adapter is plugged in and delivers the maximum performance. It also gets noisier a bit since it runs on higher fan speed but helps in better thermal management too when you engage in full-throttle gaming. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Battery</h2>



<p>My model of Legion 5 comes with an 80 Wh battery.  The display panel is 165Hz and if you want more battery life you can manually set the refresh rate to 60Hz if battery life is your priority, you might end up with a bit more battery juice.  The power brick is a chunky one, weighing around 1.2kg, adding considerably more to your travel weight. It is a 300W power brick. Alternatively, you can also use a 135W USB-C charger but optimal performance might be hampered with the USB charger while gaming. In my video loop test, I barely got 2 hours of battery life, which is disappointing. So basically it works, if you use it majorly on desk, connected to power.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lenovo Legion 5i  (2022 ) Review &#8211; Verdict</h2>



<p>Overall, the Legion 5i is a good mid-tier gaming laptop that won&#8217;t disappoint you in gaming and also other intense use cases. It is a full-sized laptop, slightly oversized and a bit heavy at 2.4kg. It also comes with a chunky power brick, though you can use a type C charger. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Lenovo is consistently bringing gaming laptops at low prices in their Legion series, the Legion 5 powered by Ryzen 5 4600H is no different. You can pretty well game on it but also it can double up as a good work machine for some CPU intensive tasks. Lenovo also offers AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Processor if you want to amp up the performance. Both the models though comes with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti 4GB GDDR6 graphics card. And, there is also intel powered models too.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is in the box</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="720" height="480" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19571" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5.jpg 720w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></figure></div>



<p>The device was rather bulky with good foam padding to ensure damage during shipping is highly unlikely. Inside the box you get the Legion 5 wrapped in a black protective cloth, some documents and a 170W power brick.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design and Build Quality of Legion 5</h2>



<p>Lenovo has carried forward the design profile from its predecessor, the Legion Y540 generation. Entirely built on plastic including the lid and bottom, it weighs around 2.30 kg and measures 22mm in the thinnest point and 24mm at its thickest. The lid can also be lifted by a single hand. It is a bit bulky as expected from most gaming laptops that include all those extra thermal precautions. </p>



<p>The branding are subtle and not flamboyant but still prominent. There is a small ‘Lenovo’ badge and a subtle but bigger ‘Legion’ branding at top edge. Both the branding are seen when you open the lid too beneath the display and on keyboard deck. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19582" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-logo.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The build quality is pretty solid but I could still notice a slight flex on the main deck area. The keyboard deck area has a rubbery texture to it, which actually feels good when resting hand. It has a matte finish and less prone to fingerprints. Since I been using the machine for a week now, it is too early to know if the rubbery finish would have any visible marks in due course of use. I have a feeling it might be prone to it. </p>



<p>The side bezels are thin but the bottom bezels is prominent with the Legion branding. At the top the bezels widens a bit where the webcam is housed. This gives the little extra space for the physical shutter assembly. Yes, you can safely close the webcam with a shutter lid when not in use.</p>



<p>The bottom has an interesting looking round circular cutouts covered by a mesh, the sides and back has air exhaust vents.  There are large rubber footers at the bottom that makes sure the laptop stays properly grounded at desk. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side-1024x683.jpg" alt="Lenovo Legion 5" class="wp-image-19592" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Ports-back-side.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Talking about the ports, most of it are aligned at the back.The charging plug, an HDMI 2.0 connector, two USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) ports, one USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port with DisplayPort 1.2 functionality, and an RJ-45 connector all finds a place here. </p>



<p>On the left side, you find USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port which is always on and a headphone jack</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports-1024x683.jpg" alt="Legion 5" class="wp-image-19603" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Left-side-ports.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p> And to the right, USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port Both the sides have air vent cutouts.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19604" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-right-side-ports.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Display of Legion 5</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19596" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The lid opens full 180-degree movement to a flat down position. The display is a 15.6 inch IPS panel with 1920 х 1080 pixels resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has a matte finish, which I normally prefer over glossy screens. The screen ratio is 16:9 and offers a pixel density of 142 ppi. Viewing angles are fine. The display offers 280 nits brightness. The display covers 58% and 39% of sRGB and DCI-P3 colour space respectively. The contrast ratio is decent. I did not notice any backlight screen flickering. The display is slightly underwhelming especially when playing games like Far Cry 5. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Speakers , Webcam and Biometrics</h2>



<p>There are two speakers on either sides of the laptop. Its a pair of 20W speakers tuned by Harmon Kardon. The audio is cleaner. I have no complaints about the speakers they are better than the average laptop speakers. There is a 720p webcam on top like I mentioned earlier with a physical camera shutter. There are no fingerprint or face login options available for biometrics. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keyboard and Touchpad</h2>



<p>Being a full-sized laptop, the keyboard deck has ample space to accommodate a full-blown keyboard complete with full-sized arrow keys and a number pad. The key travel is good for a gaming laptop with adequate clicky feedback. This is one of the most comfortable keyboards I have come across lately. There is a quick fan control shortcut that can be accessed by Fn key + Q key , that toggles between three modes &#8211; Quiet, Auto and Performance. The power button is positioned at the center above the keyboard. It has a soft white LED light when powered on.  There is a bit of noticeable flex on the keyboard deck which was surprising since visually, the machine looks solidly built. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19600" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Lenovo-Legion-5-Keyboard.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>There is a fairly large touchpad. There are no visible physical buttons on the pad but it is underneath the surface, so you just see a rectangular pad. The touchpad is made of Mylar, a material that is more shatter-resistant than glass which is often used on laptops. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Performance of Legion 5 </h2>



<p>A good thermal management is expected of any gaming laptops worth it salt, which contributes to the bulkiness in general of the machines. Lenovo has done a good job here. There are two big metal plates shielding the VRMs and the graphic cards. They have thrown in three heat pipes, one each for CPU and GPU and another shared between them. There are additional four heat spreaders. All this effectively gives a good thermal control to the machine while gaming. </p>



<p>For those who would like to pour through synthetic benchmark scores, I got it covered here for you. On 3D Mark standard Time Spy test, it hit a score of 3402. On PC Mark 10 test, the result was 3342.</p>

<p>Both the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 models are equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics cards. This might not be the latest graphics card to get but it is a tried and tested card and which offers decently good performance for a competitively priced gaming laptop. For the price range especially the Ryzen 5 which I got here is positioned it does a remarkable job with gaming. In my Far Cry 5 gaming, 64 fps in normal graphics and around 55 fps in ultra settings, which is a respectable gaming performance for this segment. The thermal management kicks in nicely, I did not find any alarming heating happening during gaming. Overall, it was a good machine for gaming. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Verdict:</h2>



<p>In India, the Legion 5 powered by Ryzen 5 4600H is available around Rs 67,000. For this price, the Legion 5 does pretty well as a gaming laptop. It also can double up as a  capable work laptop.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Legion series is Lenovo&#8217;s purebred gaming laptops but they have also made gaming laptops more affordable under IdeaPad brand. If you are looking into this portfolio you can choose between Intel and AMD. The Intel-powered is marked by 3i whereas the AMD models drop the &#8220;i&#8221; from the name. What I got here for review is Intel i5 10th gen with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650Ti GPU. Keep reading our Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3i review to see if this makes for a perfect affordable gaming laptop. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 15IMH05 Specifications:</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design and Build Quality of IdeaPad Gaming 3i</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19210" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-lid.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>I got a mixed feeling when it comes to the design. The Onyx Black color with matte finish is unassuming devoid of any extra flashy add-ons or logos barring a simple Lenovo logo in the top left corner. It has a PC and ABS plastic chassis but gives a rock solid feel when you handle it. There is no flex to complain about. Within the restrained mood, what is appealing is the angled corners and the sides of the lid slightly drooping downwards with a lid line, it manages some sort of characteristics to what would have been otherwise a standard plain vanilla look. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19205" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_1.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>When you open the lid, you are reminded the Ideapad Gaming branding in blue on the single-wide hinge. The color matches with the blue backlight of the keyboard but is more subtle. The side bezels are thin. The top bezels is slightly thicker but it also accommodates a 720p web camera. It comes with a<strong> privacy shutter built-in</strong>. If you are someone who get paranoid or wary of prying web camera looking at you when not in use, you can just shut it out with the slider on top of it. </p>



<p>I kind of have a Russian tank feel to this laptop &#8211; they are sturdy not very visually enhanced but still have something that assures you with the quality. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ports</h3>



<p>The left side has almost everything to offer, there’s the power jack, an RJ45 Ethernet port, an HDMI port, one USB Type-A port, one USB Type-C port, a headphone jack, a Novo hole and a power indicator.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19206" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming_left-side-ports.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The right side has just one additional USB Type-A port. There is no card  reader. Usually, have seen gaming laptops come with two USB type A ports but you need to content with two here. Also, the machine lacks Thunderbolt 3 port.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19213" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-right-port.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Display of Ideapad Gaming </h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19209" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-gaming-3i-display.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>You get a large 15-inch IPS panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution. The model I received has a 60Hz refresh rate but you can pay a more and upgrade to 120Hz. If you don/t mind paying the extra, would be wiser to go for the 120Hz panel for gaming.  It also has an anti-glare coating. </p>



<p>While the colors are decent not exemplary, texts are sharp would have preferred a bit more bump to the 250nits brightness level. The viewing angles are good too. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keyboard and Touchpad</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19207" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The keyboard has a nice <em>clicky</em> response to it. I used it for a couple of hours of typing and I find it comfortable to use. A number pad is included. The keys have a blue font on it and the backlit is also blue in colour.  You cannot customize the RGB-key lighting, so you are stuck with the blue colour. The touch pad is decently large enough, it does not have a physical left and right mouse buttons. It supports Windows 10 gestures, like two-finger scrolling and three-finger tabbing. </p>



<p>Lenovo vantage software gives an option to disable the trackpad while gaming so you won&#8217;t end up accidentally firing shots or aim shifts. The best part is if you set this option in the software, it works only when the game is launched and in other use cases the trackpad would work normally. </p>



<p>you can disable the trackpad using the Lenovo Vantage software so you don’t accidentally fire or shift your aim when you’re gaming. This only works when a game is launched, so you can just keep this setting on at all times without worrying about losing trackpad functionality when you’re working.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lenovo Vantage App</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="555" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-1024x555.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19194" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-1536x832.jpg 1536w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1-360x195.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Let&#8217;s talk a bit about the Lenovo Vantage app. Every brand in the gaming laptop arena, have their own software to customize and optimize the machine for your needs. With Lenovo Vantage app you get a lot to fiddle around your machine.</p>



<p>You can toggle thermal modes for the laptop between performance, balance and quiet mode, there is also an automatic switch to performance mode when launching games and switch back when exiting the game. There is a Network boost functionality, you can add your games to the list and it gets prioritized in terms of network speed on your network.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="555" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-1024x555.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19196" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-768x416.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-1536x833.jpg 1536w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1-360x195.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Vantage_battery-settings-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>There are other options like touchpad lock which we talked about earlier, auto close apps that close and frees up resources when you launch a game. You can also enable rapid charge, which allows the battery to charge faster than usual. In the battery settings, there is also a conservation mode, which when enabled will charge the battery only to 55-60% of capacity thus ensuring the longevity of battery life. Wifi Security mode, Dolby toggle is also found. Miscellaneous Options include, enabling or disabling keyboard backlight, mouse settings, function key switches and microphone settings. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Speakers</h3>



<p>The speakers are places on the sides of the Ideapad gaming. They are fairly loud but lacks bass. It supports Dolby and the feature can be enabled or disabled in the Lenovo Vantage app.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Performance of Ideapad Gaming 3i 15IMH05</h2>



<p>Ideapad Gaming series offers various models as I said in the beginning and you can customize it for your needs if you are buying from their website&#8217;s build your own option. I will stick with the machine am reviewing which is powered by <strong>Intel® Core™ i5-10300H @ 2.50Ghz CPU</strong> and combines <strong>NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Ti GPU </strong>with 4GB of VRAM and <strong>8GB of RAM</strong>. (It has a dual-channel and you can top it to a total of 32GB RAM)  </p>



<p>In <strong>3DMark Time Spy</strong>, the laptop scores <strong>3673 points</strong> and in <strong>Time Spy Extreme</strong> it delivered <strong>1671</strong>. In <strong>PCMark 10</strong> extended, the IdeaPad Gaming 3i scores <strong>4,855 points</strong>. This are the synthetic benchmark scores which puts this Ideapad Gaming machine capable for every day tasks. I did some video editing though not the top of the chart performer, I could edit couple of my videos on Premier pro at ease. </p>



<p>Though the RTX 1650 Ti is not the powerful GPU from Nvidia, you can’t disown it, it still has in it. If you are aiming to mix gaming and work and a machine for multimedia editing, this variant proved to be fairly good in my use. This could be a good mid-level gaming machine. I used it for some of my video rendering and real-life use cases and it proved it to be a good reliable workhorse.</p>



<p>Notably, the machine  was quieter even while gaming. The thermal designs were well done too. They have a dual fans, which are placed under the WASD keys and thus making sure those keys doesn&#8217;t get hot during longer gameplay. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Battery life of Ideapad Gaming 3i</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19212" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Lenovo-Ideapad-Gaming-3i-rear-side.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The laptop has a 3 Cell Li-Polymer Internal Battery with 45Wh. Lenovo claims 7 hours of battery life. We all know, none of the laptops would deliver the claimed result conducted in lab testing. </p>



<p>If you are indulging on normal tasks like browsing, youtube etc, it gives around 4-5 hours of battery life. Do note this is with brightness around 60% and in balanced mode battery settings. The battery life might vary depending on your use if you stream more, game, it is obvious you will see a faster drain. Plus, if you are a gamer, you would know playing with AC power on will always give you better gaming performance. Even in some situation if you do play without a power source, Lenovo claims it would give you an hour of intense gaming. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Verdict on Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3i review</h2>



<p>Finally, the question you would want to know and probably why you are reading this review. Should you buy Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3i? When it comes to gadgets especially laptops there is no one magic model one can suggest or fit everyone&#8217;s needs. If you are buying Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3i, for sure it won&#8217;t disappoint in terms of performance. It has lots of positives to talk about in spec to cost value propostion. Do carefully make the right model decision or build your own from the Lenovo website to suit your needs. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In Lenovo&#8217;s scheme of things, there is ThinkPad largely their enterprise brand and IdeaPad which is purely consumer-centric and in between pictures the ThinkBook series, a connecting bridge for both segments. Today, we are going to review the Lenovo ThinkBook 15. The laptop comes with different CPU variant and it can be customized in their website if you are particular about any configuration.  While they offer Comet Lake (IML) and Ice Lake (IIL) variants in some markets, in India you get the Ice Lake configurations. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Specifications</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Display: 15-inch Full HD</li><li>CPU: Intel core i7 10510U </li><li>GPU: Intel UHD Graphics</li><li>Storage: 512GB NVMe SSD From Samsung </li><li>RAM: 16GB OS: Windows 10</li><li>Audio: Stereo speakers with Dolby Audio </li><li>Weight: 1.8 kg </li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customizable Configurations</h2>



<p>As per the Lenovo India website, the CPU customization options include the following configurations</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screenshot_2020-06-09-ThinkBook-15-IIL-20SMCTO1WWENIN0-Lenovo-IN.png" alt="" class="wp-image-18855" width="676" height="386" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screenshot_2020-06-09-ThinkBook-15-IIL-20SMCTO1WWENIN0-Lenovo-IN.png 676w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screenshot_2020-06-09-ThinkBook-15-IIL-20SMCTO1WWENIN0-Lenovo-IN-300x171.png 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screenshot_2020-06-09-ThinkBook-15-IIL-20SMCTO1WWENIN0-Lenovo-IN-360x206.png 360w" sizes="(max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px" /></figure>



<p>Other customization options also include memory, storage and display and you can head over Lenovo India website for more information for your build your own device.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design</h2>



<p>What I got here is a 15.6-inch display but you if prefer a slightly more compact machine, there is a 14-inch display option too. On a first look, the device looks solid and really nice. Design-wise, it borrows more hue from the IdeaPad series. The choice of materials used in our ThinkBook machine is a combination of predominant plastics with some metal garnishings. The top lid is aluminium ionized metal. The amalgamation of both materials also means it is relatively lightweight and easier to carry around. It weighs around 1.8Kg and measures 18.8mm in thickness, which is not a bad thing for a 15-inch notebook. Regardless of material, the laptop gets a grey colour finish, giving it an understated and more accomodating look. There is no notable flex to the display lid and overall the machine has good stability and is assuring. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18863" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_top.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The Lenovo ThinkBook claims to be Mil-SPEC tested. So basically it assures high on the ruggedness and durability of the laptop. Typically, the Mil-spec tests include exposing the laptop to extreme pressure, temperature, vibrations, and so on. The test further makes it reliable to use for a prolonged period, especially for professional and business uses.</p>



<p>An interesting inclusion that would appeal to many who are paranoid about laptop camera staring at them is  a physical shutter for the camera. So you can hide the camera and be at peace. The camera is of 720p resolution, sufficient for your video calls. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="720" src="https://i2.wp.com/techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter.jpg?fit=1024%2C683" alt="" class="wp-image-18870" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_web-cam-shutter-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure></div>



<p>A fingerprint scanner is  integrated within the power button. This is the only bio-metric authentication feature you get in this device, which doesn&#8217;t support Windows Hello face. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18865" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/IMG_4474-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Connectivity &#8211; You will not miss out anything</h2>



<p>The ThinkBook 15 is very generous when it comes to connectivity options. It has five USB ports, Two of these are Type-C ports with both supporting DisplayPort and PowerDelivery (both needs extra compatible adapters and chargers)  Another interesting aspect here that to be told is a hidden  USB 2.0 port behind a flap. This would come handy to plug in Bluetooth USB receivers without sticking it out. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="720" src="https://i2.wp.com/techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C683" alt="" class="wp-image-18872" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_hidden-1-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure></div>



<p>On the left side, you will find an RJ-45 connector, followed by an HDMI connector, a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port, two USB Type-C ports – one 3.1 (Gen. 1) and one 3.1 (Gen. 2). Lastly, there is a headphone jack and a quick reset hole.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18861" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_left.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>On the right – there is the proprietory USB-shaped charging plug, a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port, an SD card reader and a hidden USB Type-A 2.0 slot, that might be very useful for Bluetooth peripherals.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18862" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_Ports_right.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keyboard &amp; Trackpad</h2>



<p>The ThinkBook 15 has a built-in chiclet keyboard. The keys are pretty big in size and with good spacing around.  Lenovo also has managed to find place for numeric keypad. The typing experience is pretty good. Lack of backlight is the only black spot in an otherwise nicely done layout. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18864" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard-360x240.jpg 360w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_keyboard.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Trackpad has the same grey finish to it like the rest of the body. Its surface area measures 10.5 x 7.1 cm. It&#8217;s a large pad and convenient to move around to perform multi-finger gestures. There is nothing to nitpick about the well made smooth trackpad. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Display</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="720" src="https://i0.wp.com/techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display.jpg?fit=1024%2C683" alt="" class="wp-image-18868" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure></div>



<p>Lenovo ThinkBook 15 houses a matte Full HD IPS panel. Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution 1920 х 1080 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:9. Viewing angles are comfortable. I binged on movies between the plenty of time I had during the lockdown and it was a good viewing experience. The display can be stretched flat to the table at 180 degree. There is also an eyecare mode if you care about these things. Catching up to 250 nits the screen brightness is pretty good. The anti-glare feature makes it easier to read under direct sunlight.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="720" src="https://i0.wp.com/techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat.jpg?fit=1024%2C683" alt="" class="wp-image-18869" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Lenovo-Thinkbook_display_flat-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></figure></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Speakers &amp; Audio </h2>



<p>The speakers are placed at the back of the device. The ThinkBook 15 boasts of Automatic Dolby Audio, the audio quality is appreciable. The microphone and the audio output during video conferencing is quiet on mark. There is a Lenovo Vantage app where you can do a lot of personalized custom settings including for audio. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Performance</h2>



<p>For those who care about benchmark tests. On the Geekbench 5.1.0 version, the Lenovo ThinkBook scored 1168 in the single-core and 3771 in the multi-core. On PC Mark 10 benchmark test, it scored overall 3927 points with 8432 essentials, 6591 for productivity, and 2958 for digital content creation</p>



<p>The ThinkBook 15 doesn&#8217;t have a dedicated graphics card but is equipped with the Intel UHD Graphics, it is obvious it isn&#8217;t dedicated to hard-core gaming. Lenovo is also clear that the device is more targetted at the business users, so the lack of it should not be a concern for the audience it caters to, unless you want a work and play machine.</p>



<p>The Lenovo ThinkBook comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB NVMe SSD from Samsung.On CrystalMark Disk test,  the SEQ1M Q8T1 score for the read speed was 3485.47 MB/s and the write speed showed up as 2972.38 MB/s. The RND4K Q32T16 score showed 1143.10 MB/s read speeds and 1190.04 MB/s write speeds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Battery life</h2>



<p>The ThinkBook 15 comes with a 65W charger that can be connected via the always-on USB port. Lenovo claim up to 11 hours battery time but that would be in an ideal scenario. When I tested in practical conditions, I got anywhere between 7 hours and 9.5 hours, still good enough to last your work day.  Charge time is around 100 minutes. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Verdict</h2>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>				<![CDATA[<span class="dropcap">L</span>enovo, the world’s leading PC and smart device manufacturer, has announced the opening of registrations for the <a href="https://legion.lenovo.com/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://legion.lenovo.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1572020828777000&amp;usg=AFQjCNF2ziDchCfXxTaQH8djXnqUhcEdyQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legion of Champions Series IV</a> (LoC IV). The e-sports competition in partnership with Intel is now in its fourth series.  The Asia Pacific esports competition, will see gamers from 12 markets in the region, for the first time including Australia and New Zealand who will battle it out at this year’s LoC. The competition will see teams compete in the popular Battle Royale title PUBG. As with previous editions, regional finalist teams for LoC IV will face-off in an intense international Grand Finals showdown, which will be held in Bangkok, from 12 – 14 December 2019.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">The Legion of Championship now in India</span></h2>


For the first time ever, LoC is coming to India in grand fashion with an all India qualifier leading to a LAN finale in Bangalore, the winner of which will win the right to represent India at the LoC finals in Bangkok. The total prize pool for Indian competitors is INR 10 Lakhs (USD14,100).
Both LoC and LoV qualifiers will take place on the Rise of Legion platform – Lenovo’s flagship online esports league – offering teams a chance to compete with other enthusiasts around the world till 1<sup>st</sup> November 2019. Shortlisted teams will advance to the local group stages across all markets.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">The Legion of Championship IV Prize money</span></h2>


Local champions and grand finalists will be competing for a total combined prize pool of USD$89,100 (Appox INR 63 Lakhs) across two games – the largest of any LoC tournament yet. The India Qualifiers for LOC IV PUBG has a prize pool of INR 10 Lakhs, divided between all 10 Finalists attending the LAN finals to be held at Comic Con Bangalore on 16<sup>th</sup> and 17<sup>th</sup> November. At the end of LOC IV in Bangkok, the winning team for PUBG will walk away with USD$4,000 and USD$10,000 worth of Legion devices, while the winners for CS:GO will walk away with USD$5,000 and USD$12,500 worth of Legion devices
At LoC III, held earlier this year, more than 8,000 gamers participated in front of 16,000 on-site attendees. The events are designed to foster Asia’s growing gaming community, and to further strengthen relationships between like-minded gaming enthusiasts. The Legion gaming PC range by Lenovo has been developed through active collaboration with the gaming community itself, with its latest innovations offering purposeful design with modern avid gamers’ needs in mind– stylish and sophisticated on the outside, yet savage on the inside, delivering supreme performance for work and play.
In addition, this year’s LoC is also calling for the best female gamers in the region to compete in the Legion of Valkyries (LoV), LoC’s first ever all-female tournament, where female gamers will be battling it out in the gaming arena playing CS:GO. The top LoV finalists in the region will then join the LoC IV Grand Finals in Bangkok as a full-fledged female team. The LoV has been developed to create additional opportunities for female gaming enthusiasts, both experienced and amateur, to showcase their talent
Spectators can expect to experience the grit and tenacity of the gamers as they band together to seize the championship title. Those who wish to participate and compete in this epic gaming tournament may also take part in the Rise of Legion walk-in tournaments, LAN party, and cosplay contests.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>				<![CDATA[<span class="dropcap">L</span>enovo has added a new member to their Yoga series in India with the launch of the premium, ultra-slim Yoga S940. The laptop has many industry-leading features that make it an uber-cool machine to own &#8211; here are the top features of the ultra-portable.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Yoga S940 Configurations:</span></h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-0" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14848" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1.jpg 960w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-1-360x270.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a>
The base configuration of the Lenovo Yoga S940 packs a full-HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) with 400 nits brightness while the top-end variant gets a 4K display with anti-glare panel and 500 nits brightness. The starter variant is powered by 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8265U processor (base clock speed of 1.60GHz and turbo boost frequency of up to 3.90GHz) paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage. The top variant, on the other hand, is treated with an Intel Core i7-8565U processor (base clock speed of 1.80GHz and a turbo frequency of up to 4.60GHz) paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of NVMe SSD. Lenovo has opted for integrated Intel HD 620 with no option available for upgrading to discrete GPU. A 4-cell 52Whr battery is included which the company claims to offer around 15 hours and also supports RapidCharge to quickly top off the battery.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">World&#8217;s First Contour Glass Screen</span></h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14850" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display.jpg 960w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display-300x225.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display-768x576.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-contour-display-360x270.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a>
Lenovo claims the Yoga S940 is the world&#8217;s first laptop with Contour Glass that wraps around its bezels. It gave me a feeling of the premium Smartphone displays and looks really a refreshing display design for a laptop. It also helps to reduce the bezels with a nearly bezel-less design with an impressive 90% screen to body ratio.  The 14&#8243; display is definitely a treat and thanks to the cutting edge display, the laptop has a very compact format with a 319.3 x 197.4 x 12.2 mm dimension and weighing 1.2Kg.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Smart Face Login &amp; Privacy
</span></h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14852" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login.jpg 960w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login-300x225.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login-768x576.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-face-login-360x270.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a>
The S940 comes with a dedicated IR sensor for face recognition for face unlock. Also with the AI Smart chops on board, it also offers Smart privacy feature with its AI-powered Glance software and sensors, the minute users turn their head away from the laptop screen, it auto-locks the display to protect the data from being seen my others. To keep the prying eyes away, it also detects and alerts the user when any one tries to snoop you from behind your shoulder.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Smart External Monitor Interface</span></h2>


One of the interesting features I found out in the laptop is its nifty feature that can shift the content from the laptop to connected external monitor just by a glance based on your attention, intent and focus. This again is done with the aid of the Smart AI capabilities and the eye-tracking Glance software of the machine.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Blurred Background Video Calls</span></h2>


Taking privacy further, there is an option to blur out the background when you are doing video calls.


<h2><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Front-firing Dual Speakers</span></h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-3" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14853" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard.jpg 960w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard-300x225.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard-768x576.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/lenovo-yoga-s940-keyboard-360x270.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a>
Flanking both the sides of the keyboard panel rests two speakers on the front. The audio experience is enhanced with Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos® Speaker System.  Lenovo has included the S940 to its Build Your Own Laptop personalization where the price starts at Rs ₹125,133 in India or you can buy the top end machine for ₹144,990.

<h2>Lenovo K9 Design and build quality</h2>


Glass used to be the choice of premium Smartphones just a few seasons ago but not anymore. Lenovo K9 comes with a neat glass back that immediately add it to the good looks book. The back has a dual camera at the rear placed horizontally and a dual LED flash. A little below at the centre is the fingerprint sensor. The sensor is easy to access with your finger. The corners are rounded and in spite of being a glass back, the phone is not so slippery and fits well in your palms.

What really surprised though is the USB Type C port which most phones double its price too give a miss. Apart from the charging port, we have the speaker, mic and audio jack at the bottom.

The K9 measures 8mm and weights 155 grams. The right side has the power button and volume buttons.

The left side has the SIM tray, its a hybrid slot so you can have two SIMs or one SIM and a memory card. It supports dual 4G VoLTE.
<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-4" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14234" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-SIM-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a>
While the design is not a sizzler to win by looks at first sight. The glass back and a good ergonomics make it to the top grade in this price segment. The type-C port definitely scores a few more brownies for K9.


<h2>Display of Lenovo K9</h2>

The K9 features a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels) resolution on an 18:9 aspect ratio. The bezels are prominent on the top and bottom thus resulting in a 74.8% screen-to-body ratio. There is no notch in the display which might be a breather for some. There are on-screen navigation buttons, there is a navigation bar setting to interchange the position of back and menu buttons.
Talking about the quality of the display, the brightness level is good, so are the viewing angles and sunlight readability. Considering the segment it comes in, the display leaves no room for complaint.


<h2>Lenovo K9 Software &#8211; Features</h2>


Lenovo Smartphones used to come with Vibe UI with many extra features but the K9 opts for a simplified user experience. It runs on stock Android with Oreo 8.1 out of the box and sticks to basics. There are few stuff added like three finger screenshot and gesture actions to quickly launch apps by drawing on the screen. There are a bunch of pre-installed apps like puzzle pets, sonic runner, spider-man games and utilities like SyncIT and UC browser. FM is supported. My major concern would be how much committed Lenovo is with updates. Their track record, unfortunately, has been poorer both with Lenovo brand and Motorola and if they have to regain the market, they have to work on their update schedule. Smartphone users have become increasingly more aware of the security updates, Android schedules and can be demanding. Right now the UI doesn&#8217;t show any signs of lag and works fine.


<h2>Lenovo K9 Performance</h2>


<a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-6" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14235" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720" srcset="https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs.jpg 1080w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Lenovo-K9-specs-360x240.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></a>
This is where it all boils down right? Before we go past this, let&#8217;s be conservative with our expectations and be at ground to the fact that this is an entry-level Smartphone with frugal hardware. The K9 is powered by Helio P22 processor from MediaTek combined with a 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. If this processor rings a bell somewhere, its the same the recently launched Redmi 6 features.  The P22 processor is an octa-core processor with eight Cortex A53 cores running at 2GHz and combines PowerVR GE8320 GPU. The chipset also offers AI processing with its NeuroPilot engine. The processor is one of the better entry level chips out there.  It should run through your basic tasks and social apps like Whatsapp, facebook, twitter etc without any issues. Casual games are playable. PUBG? yes, but under low graphics and the lag would show up. Call quality is good and the speaker is decent. The phone lacks sensors like the gyroscope and magnetic sensor, so VR is ruled out.


<h2>Lenovo K9 Camera Performance</h2>


<em>Rear: 13 MP, f/2.2, 1/3&#8243;, 1.12µm, PDAF</em>
<em>5 MP, f/2.4, 1.12µm, depth sensor</em>
<em>Front: 13 MP, f/2.2, 1/3&#8243;, 1.12µm, PDAF</em>
<em>5 MP, f/2.4, 1.12µm, depth sensor</em>
The K9 features in total four cameras &#8211; dual camera at both sides with LED flash included for the selfie too. The maximum supported video capture is 1080p at 60fps. There is portrait mode on both sides. The edge detection might not blow you away but is decent for a camera at this price segment though at few times it&#8217;s a hit or miss. Daylight pictures are decent. You can judge by the camera samples below.
[gallery link="file" columns="5" ids="14239,14240,14241,14242,14243,14244,14245,14246,14247,14250"]


<h2>Battery performance of K9</h2>


The K9 is packed with a 3000mAh battery. It does not offer fast charging and it takes about 3 hours to go up from 0% to 100%. The USB Type C port is a surprise addition though. With an HD+ panel and a not so demanding P22 processor, the mobile can last a day on a moderate use.


<h2>Verdict</h2>




<h3><a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumbs_up_icons.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-7" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-308" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumbs_up_icons.jpg" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></a>What makes K9 a killer!</h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>Clean good looks</li>


 	

<li>Glass back</li>


 	

<li>USB Type C port</li>


 	

<li>Four camera talking point (if not the performance)</li>


 	

<li>Decent display</li>


</ul>




<h3><a href="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumbs-down-icon.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-8" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-310" src="http://techraman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumbs-down-icon.jpg" alt="" width="20" height="20" /></a>What doesn&#8217;t make K9 a killer!</h3>




<ul>
 	

<li>Software update concerns</li>


 	

<li>few missing sensors</li>


 	

<li>slow charging</li>


 	

<li><em>OK-yish</em> camera</li>


</ul>


Has the killer returned? No. Has Lenovo delivered a decent phone? Yes to an extend. What would spoil the show is while Lenovo was cooling its heads, the segment has become piping hot and competitive with phones like Redmi 6, Realme C1 and Honor 7S out there. The competition is real crazy here and Lenovo to find its place back needs a lot of groundwork to win the faith. If Lenovo can win a small audience with timely updates to K9 and followup models it can regain the past glory, will they do? time will tell.
