A few months ago I switched to a 16 in laptop for everyday work (Acer Swift Edge with great 4k OLED screen and feather light) and decided to find a gaming laptop in the same form factor. This Legion 5 Slim? checks all the marks, healthy weight, good screen, exceptional AMD CPU, both powerful and battery friendly, and quite powerful Nvidia 4060 mobile GPU. It runs F1 22 at native 1600p resolution ultra settings with medium ray tracing and AMD FSR2 upscaling well over 60 fps At 4k same settings on external monitor just below 60fps - fine with me. Not too loud, on par with Asus G14 with Radeon 6700s that I had previously. Overall paid $1000 on sale open box, added 4TB second nvme ssd, and that is it for this year. Extremely easy to open, and I do praise plastic base for heat control.

Just like all gaming laptops it has it's short comings. Still has decent fps with proper settings without giving up to much quality. Battery life is kinda terrible off the wall plug. Everyone complains about the fans but that's something I can understand still loud thou hence headphones while playing a game. While it ships with 512gb SSD it should come with a 1tb.  It shouldn't require us to order off your website but be offer to all retailer's as well. 16gb of ram is enough for most better then 8gb but might max it out to 32gb for that ready for anything cushion. Keyboard is OK still kinda mushy. Track pad is meh still end up using my 10 year wireless gaming mouse instead.The speakers while down facing are OK I've heard much worse from more expensive machines. The networking already had annoyances with the wifi card and the Ethernet is so much slower then WiFi it kinda ridiculous. Realtek cards are known for issues thou. The display while not perfect but not the worst I've seen and good refresh rate. I'm waiting for the new nano led and q led displays to be more available. While producing better black and gtg response. Honestly it could use more USB 3.0 type A ports or atleast one more. While everything is going type c usb type a is still more come. As far as weight sure I wish it was lighter as it travels the country with me for work but could be much worse. I choose team red aka AMD for CPU and team green Nvidia for GPU and it hasn't been a terrible combo. AMD is less power hungry but slower the Intel and the NVIDIA rtx4060. I should of tried to find a 4070 but that jumped the price quite a bit. It also nice to see full AMD machines and maybe one day maybe considered or a full Intel machine one day. All in all I'm still happy with my purchase just requires upgrades like storage and ram but mainly storage.

Fast - beauitful display without 4K or OLED price tag. Running Steam and Battle.net games at max settings. Battery life is as expected with any gaming laptop. Upgraded RAM to 32GB and second 2TB SSD without a hitch, expect to last for years with Lenovo's quality and support.

So, at first I had the same version of this laptop with a Ryzen 5 chip and although the RTX 4060 handled games with ease, the CPU left a lot to be desired in simple, day-to-day processing tasks like Excel and web browsing. That machine would stutter A LOT under the multitasking loads I would put it through. This machine, I'm happy to report, does NO SUCH THING! :-) It handles all tasks not named gaming with such fluidity and ease, it's a wonder I stayed with the Ryzen 5 version for as long as I did. I really love this machine's screen, build quality, customizability and this backlit keyboard is gorgeous. This was an open-box (excellent) condition for $1,000, and I could not be happier. This is one happy Laptop customer! Though, it could be a touch lighter in weight, but that's just me being picky! LOL.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16" Gaming Laptop is a powerhouse that combines sleek design with impressive gaming performance. Performance-wise, this laptop is a beast. It handles everything I throw at it with ease. It's a relief to know that I won't be held back by my hardware. SSD ensures that games and applications load fast, so I spend less time waiting. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the overall user experience. The laptop's slim design is a massive plus for me. It's sleek and stylish. Plus, it's portable enough to take wherever I go, just invest in a great bag or case. It allows me to play Baldur's Gate 3 from bed or write in the local Starbucks without taking a whole rig with me. It's a steal for the price! I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
