The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro offers high performance with its advanced processor and graphics card, making it ideal for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D modeling, and engineering software. However, it is heavier and less portable, and its high-end components may lead to shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is more affordable, lightweight, and likely to have longer battery life, but it has lower performance due to its basic processor and graphics, and is more suited for general use like web browsing, office applications, and video streaming. Consider your primary usage and budget when making a choice. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro offers a more powerful CPU, quadruple the RAM, and a higher quality screen with better resolution and color coverage for a robust general use experience, but it is heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14". Contrarily, the Packard Bell Cloudbook, while boasting longer battery life and being lighter for better portability, falls short with a lower-end CPU, less RAM, and a screen with less color accuracy and lower resolution, which might limit its effectiveness for demanding tasks and immersive media consumption.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 excels in gaming and 3D due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU and a high refresh rate screen, essential for smooth graphics and fast-paced action. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short with a less capable Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU and a standard refresh rate screen, which significantly diminishes gaming and 3D performance.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for engineering and design, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 stands out for engineering and design due to its powerful AMD Ryzen processor, substantial RAM, and high-end Nvidia graphics card, complemented by a high-quality, color-accurate screen. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook is less suited for such tasks with its basic Intel Celeron processor, minimal RAM, and integrated graphics, along with a lower resolution screen that does not favor detail-oriented work.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 likely has a high-resolution display with robust color accuracy and brightness levels that enhance visibility and detail, which are crucial for general use and engineering tasks where color fidelity is key. However, for gaming and 3D graphics, the screen might lack a high refresh rate, leading to less fluid motion and a less immersive experience. On the other hand, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" seems to have a lower quality display across all areas, which results in compromised sharpness, color representation, and smoothness in animations or rapid movements, detracting from all user experiences whether it's everyday tasks, professional design work, or gaming.

PCMag
Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
