Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 10 (15IAX10, 83F00012CF) / ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (2024) G634JZR

The Intel AI Boost NPU, rated at up to 13 TOPS, is built into the processor.

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s actual limit is set by ASUS’s operating mode.

115 W TGP is among the higher power limits used for this GPU in laptops; the same RTX 5050 runs at lower power in thinner chassis. The graphics chip is soldered. Lenovo also offers the RTX 5060 and 5070 Laptop GPU in this chassis at 115 W.

NVIDIA gives a 60–150 W subsystem power range for this GPU; the 175 W figure includes the 25 W added by Dynamic Boost when CPU load is low. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

DisplayHDR True Black 600 is the VESA tier verifying 600-nit peak brightness and very low black level on OLED panels. The panel is factory colour-calibrated and TÜV-certified for low blue light and flicker-free operation; it is not a touchscreen. The platform sheet does not list G-SYNC for this panel.

The Mini LED backlight dims in zones; Notebookcheck counted 2,048 dimming zones on its test unit. The display supports Dolby Vision HDR.

With one module fitted at the factory, memory runs in single channel; adding a matching module to the free slot enables dual channel. The highest capacity Lenovo has tested is 32 GB.

Both slots come filled in this configuration; upgrading memory means replacing the modules.

A second SSD can be fitted in the free M.2 slot.

RAID 0 combines the two drives into one volume; speed goes up, but if one drive fails all data can be lost.

USB-C charging works only through the 10 Gbps port; the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept power. Up to 3 external displays are supported alongside the built-in panel: HDMI up to 8K 60 Hz, USB-C up to 5K 60 Hz. There is no SD card reader.

According to Notebookcheck the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept charging; USB-C charging goes through the other Type-C port at up to 100 W. The LAN port does not support PoE, and there is no SD card reader.

Lenovo rates battery life at 4.4 hours in MobileMark 30 and 10.8 hours in local 1080p video playback. Super Rapid Charge goes from 0 to 30% in 10 minutes and to 70% in 30 minutes; the battery must be at least 10 °C while charging.

According to ASUS the battery reaches 50% in 30 minutes with fast charging. Full GPU power needs the 330 W adapter; the 100 W USB-C adapter is for light use and charging on the go.

This model has no IR camera or fingerprint reader, so Windows Hello biometric sign-in is not supported.

Warranty length varies by country.

The MUX switch connects the internal display directly to the NVIDIA GPU to reduce latency in games; Advanced Optimus can make this switch without a restart.
