Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 6 arrived in 2021 as one of Lenovo's most balanced gaming laptops, built for players and creators who wanted real graphics horsepower in a 16-inch chassis without paying flagship prices. It shipped in two engineering flavors: the Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H with AMD Ryzen processors, and the Legion 5i Pro 16ITH6H with Intel Core chips, both sold under Lenovo's 82JQ machine-type prefix. Three years and change later, these machines still hold value because the 16-inch 165Hz display, the dual-fan cooling, and the RTX 30-series graphics options remain genuinely useful for current games and GPU-accelerated work. Whether yours runs an RTX 3050 Ti or a 3070, and whether it has been gaming-hard for years or sitting in a closet since last winter, it is worth turning into cash rather than e-waste. Pick your processor, graphics card, and condition in the picker above for an instant offer, see how the process works, or head to the page to sell your laptop if you have more than one to trade in.

Confirm you have the Legion Pro 5 Gen 6

The fastest way to confirm your exact configuration is through Windows itself. Press the Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter. The System tab shows the model name and BIOS string, and the Display tab confirms which RTX graphics card is installed. You can also press Windows key + R and type msinfo32 to see the exact system model and BIOS version, which will include the 82JQ prefix.

Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H (AMD)

  • Pairs with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
  • 16-inch chassis, 82JQ machine-type prefix
  • No Thunderbolt; USB-C is data and display only

Legion 5i Pro 16ITH6H (Intel)

  • Pairs with Intel Core i5 or i7 11th Gen
  • Also carries an 82JQ-family MTM, including 82JQ00FBUS units sold in the US
  • Same 16-inch chassis and cooling design as the AMD variant

Prefer a visual check? Flip the laptop over. The bottom panel sticker lists the full model number and serial number. On the lid, a plain "Legion" wordmark with no per-key RGB lighting bar and a 16:10 (taller than wide) screen ratio are strong signs you have this generation rather than an older 16:9 Legion.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (8-core)
  • Intel Core i5, 11th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 11th Gen

Graphics

  • NVIDIA RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 3060
  • NVIDIA RTX 3070

The graphics card moves resale value more than the CPU choice. An RTX 3070 config is worth grabbing an offer on before it slides further behind newer GPUs.

Memory (RAM)

  • DDR4, dual-channel
  • Two SO-DIMM slots, user-upgradable

Storage

  • PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
  • Dual M.2 slots on most configurations, upgradable

Display & audio

Display

16-inch WQXGA (2560x1600) IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, giving a taller 16:10 aspect ratio than most gaming laptops of its era.

Audio

Dual downward-firing speakers tuned with Nahimic audio software, adequate for game audio and calls without external speakers.

Security

No fingerprint reader or IR camera on this generation. Login relies on Windows Hello password or PIN.

Battery, build & more

Battery

An 80Wh battery, large for a 16-inch gaming laptop, though runtime under gaming loads is short by design. It is a good match for plugged-in desk use.

Dimensions & weight

A thicker, heavier chassis than ultrabooks, built around dual-fan cooling and a metal top cover, closer to 5.5 pounds than to the 4-pound range of thin-and-lights.

Software

Ships with Windows and Lenovo's Legion Vantage app for fan curves, lighting, and performance mode switching.

Market positioning

Sits in the mid-to-upper tier of 2021 gaming laptops. Configurations with the RTX 3060 or 3070 hold demand from buyers doing gaming or GPU-based creative work on a budget.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to see your processor and graphics card under the System and Display tabs. The bottom panel sticker also lists the full model number, including whether it is a 16ACH6H (AMD) or 16ITH6H (Intel) unit and the 82JQ machine-type prefix. If you want a broader walkthrough for Lenovo laptops generally, our Lenovo model number guide covers other series too.
02 How do I tell it apart from the regular Legion 5 (non-Pro)?
The regular Legion 5 from the same year uses a 15.6-inch 16:9 display, while the Pro model has a taller 16-inch 16:10 panel at a higher 165Hz refresh rate. The Pro also carries the 16ACH6H or 16ITH6H model number rather than a 15ACH6H or 15ITH6H designation, which you can confirm the same way, through dxdiag or the bottom sticker.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes, in most cases. Cracked screens, worn batteries, and units that won't power on can usually still be quoted, since the condition picker above accounts for that. What we cannot accept is a laptop still signed into a Microsoft account with Find My Device or BitLocker locking active, or one otherwise passworded shut with no way to sign out. Remove your Microsoft account and disable any device lock before shipping so the unit can be tested and resold.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
The graphics card tier matters most, since an RTX 3070 or 3060 unit commands more interest than a 3050 config. Beyond the hardware you cannot change, a clean screen with no dead pixels, a battery that still holds a real charge, working fan and keyboard lighting, and having the original charger all help. A full factory reset with your accounts removed before shipping also keeps the process fast and avoids any condition adjustment for a locked or dirty drive.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery, then choose Reset this PC and select "Remove everything" so all personal files and apps are wiped. Before that, sign out of and remove the device from your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or decrypt it so the new owner isn't locked out. Once the offer is confirmed, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full step-by-step guidance is on our data erasure protocols page.
