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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Is really good, user friendly, quality graphics, decent storage space, amazing processor, runs really well and downloads supremely fast, only negative i have is that the keyboard heats up pretty quick, but compared to the rest of the functionality is not worth a star down from 5.

    Good Lenovo Computer

    Solid computer and very fast. Issue #1. Biggest complaint is the pathetically small hard drive that it comes with. We live in 2023, and manufacturers are still putting half terabyte hard drives in gaming computers. Last I checked, games have gotten a lot more demanding in hard drive space since the early 2000s. Manufacturers really do need to start upping the default hard drive space or installing a second larger drive for everything to be installed to. Either would work. Issue # 2. The other big issue is that this computer can get very hot rather quickly. This is despite having a rather impressive cooling system. What this computer needs is larger "feet" under it. This would allow the cooling system to be significantly more efficient. This is a good buy if you can get it at about $1000

    Great pc for mobile gaming. Runs any game I throw at it well and works great for multitasking. Keyboard gets a little warm in the middle for my liking but it’s not super noticeable. Would recommend to anyone. Best laptop I have owned.

    I bought this for my wife, she isn't a high end gamer but enjoys playing from time to time. This laptop allowed her to play wherever she wanted with decent graphics. Also she was able to write and just enjoy other media platforms with ease.

    So far the laptop has met my expectations! It has handled any new game I wanted to play easily either at high or medium graphics. The screen is a silly size and the stock storage is low, but storage is easily expandable.

    Legion Slim 5 16APH8 - Type 82Y9

    Happy so far but haven't tried a whole lot of gaming. First gaming laptop but have built plenty of gaming towers in the past. Video quality is excellent. Machine does come with quite a bit of bloatware, which is an easy fix. Instantly upgraded to a 1TB SSD (better drive from BB was a 3rd of the price that Lenovo sells) as Win11 takes up easily half of the 512GB SSD. Large file transfers will take about 75% of your RAM but the CPU and GPU have yet to be tasked. Lenovo says a max of 16GB of RAM (which they nor BB have in stock) but kingston and crucial have additional RAM which I will try in the coming few weeks. Still a big mystery as to how much RAM the machine will really hold but going to try a 32GB with an OEM 8GB. Will see how it goes.

    Beat laptop for the price. 70 fps consistently on Cyberpunk on ultra with ray tracing. Only con for me is the rgb lighting in the keyboard isn’t too bright but it still looks great Recommend snagging when on sale.
