The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 launched in 2021 as Lenovo's mainstream gaming laptop, sold in two chassis variants: the Intel-based Legion 5i 15ITH6H and the AMD-based Legion 5 15ACH6H. Both target the same buyer: someone who wants a 15.6-inch, high-refresh gaming machine without paying flagship prices. Discrete Nvidia RTX 30-series or Radeon RX 6600M graphics, DDR4 memory, and NVMe storage make it capable of current titles at 1080p, and that combination still holds resale demand years after release, especially in the higher GPU tiers. Pick your processor, graphics card, and condition in the selector above and you will see a live cash offer immediately. If you would rather talk through a less common configuration first, you can see how the process works or head straight to sell your laptop and get a quote in minutes.

Confirm you have the Legion 5 Gen 6

The fastest way to confirm your exact model is through Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type dxdiag, and check the System tab for the model line, or run msinfo32 for the same information in more detail. The model number is also printed on a sticker on the underside of the chassis, usually near the regulatory markings.

Legion 5i 15ITH6H

  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 11th generation
  • Paired with Nvidia RTX 3050, 3050 Ti, 3060, or 3070
  • Sold as the Intel-platform version of Gen 6

Legion 5 15ACH6H

  • AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7, 5000 series
  • Paired with Radeon RX 6600M or an Nvidia RTX 30-series option
  • Sold as the AMD-platform version of Gen 6

Prefer a visual check? Both variants share the same dark grey lid with a rectangular Legion logo, a rear vent cutout across the hinge, and a 15.6-inch display bezel with a small webcam housing at the top. You cannot tell CPU brand apart by looks alone, so the model sticker or dxdiag is the reliable route. If you are unsure how to read that sticker, the Lenovo model number guide walks through it.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • AMD Ryzen 5 5000 series
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5000 series
  • Intel Core i5, 11th gen
  • Intel Core i7, 11th gen

Graphics

  • AMD Radeon RX 6600M
  • Nvidia RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti
  • Nvidia RTX 3060
  • Nvidia RTX 3070

The graphics card is the single biggest driver of resale value here. An RTX 3070 unit will outprice an RTX 3050 configuration by a wide margin, even in the same cosmetic condition.

Memory & storage

  • DDR4 memory across two SO-DIMM slots, upgradable
  • M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD storage, upgradable

Display & audio

Display

A 15.6-inch FHD IPS anti-glare panel, offered with a high refresh rate up to 165Hz depending on configuration. Fine for fast-paced gaming, though it is not a color-critical panel for creative work.

Audio

Dual downward-firing stereo speakers tuned with Nahimic software. Loud enough for casual use, but most owners reach for headphones during actual gaming sessions.

Keyboard & webcam

A backlit TrueStrike keyboard with per-zone or white backlighting depending on configuration, plus a 720p webcam above the display.

Ports & connectivity

Port layout is shared across both CPU variants, split across the left and right edges with the power and video-out ports toward the rear.

Left side
  • USB-C (DisplayPort capable)
  • Headphone/microphone combo jack
Right side / rear
  • USB-A ports (3.2 Gen 1)
  • HDMI 2.1 output
  • Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45)
  • Barrel-style power connector

165Hz option RTX 30-series Radeon RX 6600M DDR4 dual-channel NVMe SSD HDMI 2.1 Gigabit Ethernet

Battery, build & more

Battery

A multi-cell lithium-polymer pack rated for productivity use rather than long gaming sessions. Expect noticeably shorter runtime under load, which is normal for a laptop in this GPU class.

Build & weight

A plastic-and-metal chassis in a dark grey finish, on the heavier side for a 15-inch laptop due to the cooling hardware needed for its GPU options.

Software

Ships with Windows and Lenovo's Vantage utility for driver updates, battery conservation mode, and fan curve control.

Market positioning

Sits in the mid-tier gaming laptop bracket. Units with RTX 3060 or 3070 graphics and higher RAM/storage configurations hold value noticeably better than the base Ryzen 5 or Core i5 with RTX 3050 pairing.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Run dxdiag or msinfo32 from Windows to see the processor, graphics card, and installed memory in one screen. The chassis label on the underside also lists the model number (15ITH6H for Intel, 15ACH6H for AMD). If either method is unclear, the Lenovo model number guide covers where to look and what the codes mean.
02 How do I tell it apart from the Legion 5 Pro?
The Legion 5 Pro uses a 16-inch 16:10 display with a QHD+ resolution option, while this Gen 6 Legion 5 and 5i keep a 15.6-inch 16:9 panel. The Pro's lid and hinge design also differ, with a wider chassis to fit the larger screen. If dxdiag shows a 15.6-inch display and a model number ending in ITH6H or ACH6H, you have the standard Gen 6, not the Pro.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes, you can sell a Legion 5 with a cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a charge, or one that won't power on at all. Select the matching condition in the picker above and the quote adjusts accordingly. The one requirement that applies regardless of condition: any Microsoft account tied to the laptop must be removed and BitLocker suspended before shipping, since a locked account prevents testing and can hold up payment.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Graphics card tier matters more than any other single spec. An RTX 3070 or RTX 3060 configuration will consistently outvalue an RTX 3050 or RTX 3050 Ti unit, even at the same cosmetic grade. After that, higher RAM and storage configurations help, along with a clean screen free of dead pixels or scratches, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and the original charger included in the box.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose Remove Everything to wipe your data. Before that, remove the laptop from your Microsoft account (Settings → Accounts) and suspend or decrypt BitLocker if it is enabled, so the drive is not locked for the next user. Once your quote is accepted, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after testing via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps, including how to check for lingering account locks, are on the data erasure protocols page.
