I recently got the Lenovo Legion 5 Slim 14-inch with Ryzen 7, and I'm impressed with its performance and display. The 2880 x 1800 resolution at 120Hz OLED makes gaming and content creation a joy. It handles multitasking smoothly, though it struggles a bit with ray tracing. The port selection is good, but I miss having an Ethernet and USB 4. The battery life is amazing, and the rapid charging is a lifesaver. Overall, it's a solid choice for a mid-range gaming laptop.

I think the laptop is great honestly, hasn't had any issues for the past 3 weeks that I've had it and the thermals are surprisingly great, stays under 80 no matter what really. The screen is stunning too I've never had a laptop with such a nice panel before, my only negative is the soldered ram which as someone who believes in repairability and upgradability really bums me out to see. On another note the fans in quiet mode are pretty great and quiet even in intense games but if you switch to any other mode it gets very loud.

Amazing, compact, great OLED screen paired with a glossy screen, plays most games no problem, wish it had 32gbs of ram though.

Excellent laptop. Looks beautiful, runs smoothly, and plays most games at around the level of a ps5. Not all the way, but almost. Also surprisingly, the charge could last me for probably 5 hours or more, but I wasn't able to test it fully. This was after changing a few settings like lowering the refresh rate and brightness, leaving it in Quiet mode, and making sure it used the iGPU when disconnected. When it comes to gaming, battery drains faster of course, and some games don't run as well when not connected. But that will always depend on the game. Fans are loud when playing something more intense like Baldur's Gate 3 or Dead Space Remake, not as much with Cult of the Lamb. But, I believe that's just part of the gaming laptop experience. The fact that it looks so professional and still has plenty of holes for the fans is a plus to me.
In comparison to others, I went with this laptop over other less expensive gaming laptops because of its portability. For me, even 15.6" is too much. 14" was perfect for taking it everywhere. I couldn't find any laptop at this size that had the same specs for cheaper. So, depending on your preference and budget, you might want to take that into consideration.
All in all, 10/10 laptop.

I really like my laptop. My only issues are the darks get choppy when watching a movie and it gets really loud and hot when gaming. I would have liked to get a more powerful gaming laptop. For what it’s worth though it’s a really solid, reliable laptop.

I absolutely loved this laptop. It isn’t just great for gaming but the OLED screen really has come in handy for when video and photo editing as the color gamut is super accurate! The noise is very minimal when either gaming or editing as I’ve had multiple laptops even other Lenovo Legions that are way louder when it comes to fan noise. If you’re getting a gaming laptop for work/fun this is absolutely hands down the best choice.

Build quality is amazing for this laptop. It gets loud but manages its thermals well. The only issue I have had is it takes a couple of minutes to connect to wifi after waking up.
Battery life tanks with the dedicated GPU enabled, you'll get about 5 hours out of using the integrated graphics with light task work.
