Lenovo Legion 5 Disassembly (RAM, M.2 SSD, HDD upgrade options)

Starting from May 1, Lenovo Legion 5 has accepted the reservation on Lenovo’s U.S. official website. Not long ago, the Lenovo laptop product manager shared several internal images of Legion 5. In this article, we will analyze the possibility of upgrading the SSD and memory of Legion 5.

The internal design of Lenovo Legion 5 has similarities with the previous Legion products, but the changes are still relatively large. In the upper part is a heat dissipation module. The Lenovo Legion 5 uses dual fans for heat dissipation. A long heat pipe runs through the CPU and the graphics card, and there are two shorter heat pipes that conduct to the CPU and the graphics card. In addition, the hard disk adopts the design of dual M.2 SSD or M.2 SSD + 2.5-inch SATA, of which M.2 and SATA on the left are two choices.

It is more intimate that its memory still retains a metal shield. This notebook has two memory slots. Since the two memory slots are covered by the heatsink, we cannot see them directly. According to Lenovo Official information, it can support up to 32G DDR4 3200MHz memory, so you can install two 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory.

On the right, there is a silver heat sink, and below it is an Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 wireless network card and an M.2 2280 SSD. On the left side of the picture, there is an M.2 2280 slot and a 2.5-inch HDD bay, but unfortunately, the two of them are in conflict. You can only use one of the slots, but two M.2 SSDs are enough to meet the needs of most users. If you need to install a 2.5-inch SSD or mechanical hard drive, then you need an SATA cable and HDD caddy. It is unclear whether Lenovo has reserved SATA cable and HDD caddy for this laptop.

In addition, Lenovo Legion 5 has a lithium-ion battery with model number L19M4PC0, and its capacity is 60Wh.
