Many appreciate its upgradability, especially regarding RAM and storage, and find the price reasonable for the performance offered.

    I still haven't received the computer I bought at a discount on Black Friday. If the delay continues for another week, my order will be cancelled. In this case, I could not benefit from the discount and paid for it. I want this grievance to be resolved

    After 6 months of use – Worth It?

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After 6 months of use, I can say the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is a great gaming laptop for its price. It excels in competitive games like FIFA 25, handles BO6 well, and runs open-world games like GTA and Red Dead smoothly. If you want a balance between performance, portability, and affordability, this is a solid choice. Rating: 8.5/10 ✅ Pros: • Great performance in most games • 165Hz screen makes gameplay smooth • Lightweight for a gaming laptop • Good keyboard and build quality ❌ Cons: • Can get warm under heavy load • Battery life isn’t great for gaming • Storage (512GB SSD) might feel small for modern games

    I really love it. My boyfriend researched this laptop before we purchased it. He made sure it had the right graphic card, enough storage, and would overall be a good gaming laptop. I’ve had no issues with it. It runs great, it does need to be charged frequently but I imagine that is probably the case for most gaming computers. Would buy again

    Incredible laptop, probably the most useful thing I've ever purchased. This thing can handle anything you throw at it, and the build quality is just superb. Easily the best laptop in this price tier.

    Gaming laptops have come a long way in the last few years. If I would have known I could get a decent gaming laptop for this cheap I would have bought one a long time ago. I'm really happy with it, the fans run mildly loud when I'm gaming but its not bad at all... like with all gaming laptops, this isn't meant to sit directly on your legs, place it on something flat and hard so it can breath. Fit and finish are very nice.

    Great option for a gaming laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this laptop on sale. For its specs, it's a fantastic gaming option for under $1000. It won't run the latest games on max graphics, but it certainly performs well for the games I enjoy playing.

    Excellent computer, runs KF2 high settings non-issue, starts up fast, all applications fast. When not plugged in and I turn on battery saver, easily lasts 4 hours when not gaming. I bought for $900 on sale from Best buy and would definitely buy again at this price

    It was an open box laptop, so I took the chance. Unfortunately there was an issue with the video card but BestBuy honored the no hassle 30 day return window. The return process was as simple as can be.

    (Annoying) Issues at First, but Fixed; Works Well

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Upon receiving this product, I began noticing issues almost immediately throughout daily use. The first issue was the boot time. Occasionally, it would take quite a long time to boot up. I fixed this by changing the laptop to 'Boot Upon Opening' in Lenovo Vantage. Another issue was coil whine; it was incessant. I fixed this by switching to 'dGPU Only Mode' in Lenovo Vantage. This laptop does work well, but you'll have some hoops to jump through before it is in tip-top shape. NOTE: I also got the so-called blue screen of death once, but this has not ever repeated itself.
