Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Legion Slim 5's performance and graphics capabilities, frequently praising its smooth operation and excellent visuals. Many appreciate the build quality and the option to upgrade RAM, although some find the battery life and weight to be shortcomings. The screen is generally well-received, but the relatively small storage capacity and occasional fan noise are common points of concern.

    This computer runs quickly and smoothly. So far I’ve been able to play my games on it with no problems. I heard good things about Lenovo and it seems to be living up to the hype though my limited knowledge on computers and specs means I likely wouldn’t really know how good it actually is. It does what I need quite well so I’m very happy with it. Also I like the light up keyboard.

    Great computer.. graphics look very good.. Im running apex legends at 120 fps, Halo infinite runs great too.. it's fast and has a great size.. the only downside would be that the battery doesnt last that long when gaming.. if you use it for other stuff battery life is great but for gaming it will give you only about an hour and a half if you're lucky. Other than that, it is a great pc.

    I bought this laptop for both personal and work use and it did not disappoint; great performances thanks to top CPU and Nvidia GPU, brilliant screen and design, also it does not feel too bulky. The battery is not stellar but mostly it depends on the intended usage

    Display Issues after 1 month

    I've had this Laptop for around 35 days and the screen has already developed an issue. The screen displays gray/black colored horizontal lines that go all the way across the screen from the bottom to about 1/3 of the screen. I've looked at countless support options and the one they recommend is a screen replacement. I think it's pretty sad that this laptop would stop working so quickly, even though I've been extremely careful with it. The Lenovo support staff on their website just kind of repeated the same things over and over, which wasn't very helpful. Also, on their forum, there were LOTS of other people with the exact same issue. I don't think that this laptop is worth the potential trouble of getting the entire screen replaced, and who knows what will happen once my warranty runs out.

    After 5 months the computer does not function

    So I bought laptop this past August for college, and for the first week it worked as a laptop does. Then that’s where my problem(s) (might be related) start, I go to turn on my laptop and while it technically turns on, it doesn’t boot the the operating system, the first time to fix the issue all I needed was patience and the will to live. It took 2 hours of waiting for the system decide to actually boot the OS and thus I was able to update the BIOS which seemed to fix the booting problem. For the next few months of college it worked well for assignments and gaming on it on less than once a week. Then the Thursday before finals week a couple days after another BIOS update ( don’t know if that has anything to do with my experience) the computer has the same problem as before but worse. This time even waiting 2-3 hours it still did not boot, and with finals stress and previous issues I am just done dealing with this computer. I have gone to the IT help desk at my college multiple times to see if they knew how to solve the problem they didn’t. Haven’t opened the laptop at all as to not mess with the warranty but maybe there is just a cable issue. Tomorrow I’m planning on making the hour journey over to my nearest Best Buy and hopefully I can be helped.

    This product I purchased and in 9 months only had power on issue, i had given for service in repairs center in Best Buy as it was under manufacturing warranty, after 2 weeks when the laptop came it was damaged, I refused to take it and told them I wont accept this even if you send it again for repair, the best buy staff were very unprofessional way handle my case and forcing that you will get only this after reapir only. I chat with best buy they said someone will contact me in 24 to 48 hours noone contact me for this issue.
