Lenovo - Legion Slim 5 16" Gaming Laptop WUXGA - Ryzen 5 7640HS with 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB - 512GB SSD - Storm Grey

Great 16” laptop. The aspect ratio is 16/10. I didnt think this was going to male a difference, but in games the 16/10 makes the screen feel much bigger. I needed something for video rendering amd online gaming in my free time. This worried me a bit since I was coming from an i7 11th gen/3070 combo. But that laptop started to feel very slow after updating it to win 11. I saw this on a deal and thought to give it a try. The amd 7640 is better than expected and battery life is almost 3x better than the intel I was on. The 4060 does outperform my previous 3070 laptop. And I had a full power 3070 laptop. This cost less than half of what I paid for in the i7/3070 combo. I am on COD and Starfield most of the time and easily get over 100+ fps in both. If you need something more powerful I would go for the amd 7840 series cpu but I havent had any experience with that cpu. The ryzen 7640 is more than capable and getting this with the 4060 for under $900 was a steal. It has an rgb keyboard and the lenovo suite to control fan speed. I havent really seen the gpu go over 70c while gaming. That could be due to the amd cpu not being as hot as intel. Cpu stays cooler so it keeps the gpu cooler. If you see this for under 1k$ consider it.

I am rating this by value first, because price matters. I got this as an "open box" so on top of the sale price it was bright down further to a cool $750. Getting a 60 series GPU laptop 6 months after release for $750 with a decent CPU (also new) is kind of insane. The performance is great for the class and price. I'm VERY happy with it. I got it specifically for editing photo/video when away from my desktop and tethering for photo shoots. I DON'T use it for gaming BUT I did load Control on it and cranked the ray tracing and it was great, no lagging. I didn't check but I'm sure it was at least 60fps average. The ONLY downside is the screens color gamut. Very lacking but for my work flow, I just do color grades at home and plug my monitor in. But by then everything else is done so its still saving me TONS of time having a mobile editing/tethering rig. Battery life is ok not great at all but its a "slim gaming" form factor, that to be frank, isn't that slim. But given that, I wasnt expecting super long battery life anyway and (depending on what you're doing) t holds up just fine for me. Great value and very capable for most work applications. Plus, who doesnt love LED keyboards?

I am from Morocco and I bought this one during the winter sales for 850$ (it cost 3x times the price where I live!), even the fact that bestbuy isn’t delivering to my country, someone got it for me. All I can tell is this laptop satisfies all what I need seamlessly (work, entertainment and especially gaming). I thought that the R5 won’t be a powerful CPU, but it proved me wrong. The same thing goes for the RTX 4060. The only average aspect (although it’s not a bummer) is the screen: colors and brightness are not enough for people looking for the best visual experience.
