Lenovo Slim 5 - 1 year review

Replaced another lenovo that lasted 2.5 yrs. I use my Slim 5 to run my small business, browse the web, and as a primary source for streaming tv services. At almost a year still surprised at how quickly the laptop boots and how quickly windows respond. Running Windows 11 Home. Even darker video scenes come out crisp and enjoyable.
I use this laptop every day, and highly recommend it for moderate-heavy use.

Pretty happy with it. It’s a powerhouse of a machine and runs better than my 3070ti desktop. It is kind of loud though so be prepared for that. If that’s not an issue, this is a bargain whenever on sale.

It’s a very nice laptop it doesn’t get too hot when running demanding games and the fans are pretty quiet on balanced mode. Battery life is about 2 hours when gaming and it’s easy to upgrade the ram and it’s nice having a second ssd slot.

Broke my $150 Mouse

This laptop worked fine for a year. It would get very hot while i used it, but that seemed normal for gaming laptops. It turns out it gets so hot that it managed to fry itself. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to catch this until it managed to permanently damage not only all of the usb connectivity on the laptop, but also the wireless dongle for my $150 mouse. An $1000 product not even lasting a year is absurd and now none of the laptop is usable since I can’t connect any usb devices. I recommend staying away from this device and all other lenovo laptops. My friend has a lenovo laptop that i borrowed after this broke and it left burn marks on me from how hot it got. That’s not even getting into the driver issues I had. The integrated graphics and dedicated gpu do not play nicely together and even on updated drivers, when connected to a monitor, the laptop is a stuttering mess and unusable for gaming. Battery life sucks even with the dedicated gpu not being used and the screen is ok for gaming, but has terrible color accuracy and is a low resolution for the size of this device.

I bought this because I wanted something to play my Steam library and something that reliable for working with our 3D printer. It plays most of the games (indies and very few AAA titles) at high graphics settings and there doesn’t seem to be any lagging or long load times so far. I’m docking it a star though, because I did have an issue with black screening, which led me down a large rabbit hole on how to fix it. It was so bad, that I almost returned it, fearing it was defective. Turns out, it was a driver update issue and I’m really hoping Lenovo or Nvidia fixes it soon. I messed with a few settings and now it seems to be fine. Great laptop, especially for the Open Box price I paid for it.

Swapp the laptop I had bought originally for this one. Other one had that stupid screen issue that all the other ones have Idk how those exist.
This one is fine, turns on slightly slow for being an ssd, but I'm not messed with anything.
Definitely overkill for what I use it for but have been playing lots of games on it with no issue.
Different settings to turn fan on high low etc.

I recently purchased the Levolo Gaming laptop, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. This laptop is a solid 10/10 in every aspect.
The graphics card is incredibly powerful, handling even the most demanding programs even running smoothly without any lag, making for an exceptional gaming experience.
Overall, I highly recommend the Levolo Gaming laptop to anyone in need of a high-performance gaming machine. It exceeded all my expectations and is worth every penny imho.

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16" Gaming Laptop

Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I recently purchased the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16" Gaming Laptop and, overall, I'm quite impressed with its performance and features. Here are my thoughts after using it for a few weeks:
**Pros:**
1. **Performance**: The AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS processor, combined with 16GB of memory, ensures smooth multitasking and excellent performance in both gaming and productivity tasks. I haven’t experienced any lag or slowdown, even with demanding applications.
2. **Graphics**: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB of VRAM provides fantastic graphics performance. Games run smoothly at high settings, and the visuals are stunning on the WUXGA display.
3. **Display**: The 16" WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display offers vibrant colors and sharp details. The higher resolution and larger screen size enhance the gaming and viewing experience.
4. **Design**: The slim and sleek design is a significant plus. It's relatively lightweight for a gaming laptop, making it more portable and easy to carry around.
**Cons:**
1. **Storage**: The primary downside is the 512GB SSD. While it's fast and reliable, it's not sufficient for my storage needs, especially with the size of modern games and software. I quickly found myself running out of space.
**Suggestions for Improvement:**
- **Upgrade the SSD**: I recommend upgrading to a larger SSD. The laptop allows for easy upgrades, so you can replace the existing 512GB SSD with a 1TB or 2TB SSD for more storage space.
- **External Storage**: Alternatively, using an external SSD or HDD can provide additional storage without opening up the laptop.
- **Cloud Storage**: For less critical files, consider using cloud storage solutions like Google Drive or Dropbox to free up space on the local drive.
**Conclusion:**
The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is an excellent choice for gamers and professionals looking for a powerful, portable laptop. Its performance and graphics capabilities are top-notch. However, the limited storage might be a drawback for users with extensive storage needs. With a few adjustments, such as upgrading the SSD, this laptop can become an even more formidable machine.
