Lenovo (in general): Only one with builds and latest gen AMD Ryzen Laptop CPU/APU's thats NOT HP/Dell Decent build, when on sale, a decent price Lenovo (display): Really happy to see 16:10 aspect ratio RETURN, HOWEVER, the brightness of almost the entire lineup of laptops from lenovo cap out at 300nits which is HORRIBLE for a laptop, let alone a "gaming capable" laptop, if the rest wasn't a great combo/deal I wouldn't have purchased it, 450-500nits should be the minimum. nVidia: The 4060 is pretty under powered and is actually smothered in the "slim" lineup configuration, even so, its still better then all my old laptops so I will take it for under $1000 AMD (in general): The 7640HS I have actually outdoes my 4800H and 5800H prior gen CPU's with its 2 less cores in most of the work loads I throw at it (to include a compile) that's impressive. AMD (graphics): Here is where AMD really fouls up, must like first and second gen Ryzen laptop graphics, the drivers are a disaster, only from Lenovo dated the first quarter of the year, AND if you go to AMD's website and search for the drives it points you to the latest but when you try to install it says not compatible. Its been confirmed they removed compatibility but never bothered to fix the website! Very annoying for a fresh reinstall. Overall: Happy with the purchase, it was the right time, and the price war right.

I love my new computer, switching from a MAC, so I was worried the transition would be difficult. The speed is perfect for the projects I work on. The screen is much better than NY MAC.

I've been using the computer for a year now and can say is great quality and very sturdy. It doesn't feel much as a portable computer and I've used it mostly at home for remote work. I only have one complain with the Lenovo vantage software, that makes my internet drop while playing games.

Great laptop. Got ot for my son and is able to run all games at decent graphics settings . Well worth the price and great speed.

This is a great laptop for someone that needs the ability to run spreadsheets and occasionally game I do not game like other people so I will not speak to the merits of a dedicated gaming pc. This is a great laptop to allow people to have both a gaming laptop and a work computer for heavier computing power. The battery last much longer than advertised if you are using it for normal activities. Overall I am really happy that I picked this up at a good price.

This is literally the best computer I’ve had, I literally Live stream, Play Games, and use the Web at the same time and have not seen it slow down literally at all! Besides that I have tabs open like vscode and it does not miss. If “Bang for your buck” was in the dictionary this laptop would be the definition, no Xbox or PlayStation could compare, literally this laptop does not miss anything it has speed, graphics, and storage. What else do you need?

Device runs VERY well in the most demanding games, programs. Absolutely worth a buy if you can catch it on a deal or open box!

Laptop is performing flawlessly and setup was easy. Playing some fairly heavy graphics on it and it has not clipped once.

Ive owned tbis laptop for a couple months and i game fairly hard on it and it handles all my games very well. Id your looking to play Call Of Duty on this laptop itll run it seemlessly. Im shre it can run a lot bigger games than just that. For the money, very worth it and the only con i can see is that theres not a whole lot of storege on it but thats fine because you can also upgrade the storge on it all you need to do is watch a youtube video and you can do it yourself at home with the right tools.

My old laptop was way past her prime and slowing down. So I decided to purchase this new Legion gaming laptop so I would once again have the edge on the other players. The laptop is super fast. Not fond of the fact it does not have a CD-ROM drive. But you can install an external USB CD ROM drive.

I bought on sale for $800 and I'm overall happy with the laptop. It was purchased for when I go out of town for work I had something to play. It will play just about anything on the highest settings in 1080p. I have a 4k home monitor but it doesn't bother me that it's in 1080p. My biggest complaint is the built in Wifi is not very good or stable. When I run tests it will strart out at 200mbs but then will drop to 20mbs. I don't have that issue with any other devices in my house.

The Lenovo Legion was recommended by a Best Buy employee and I couldn’t thank him enough for it. The laptop has exceeded my expectations for work, school and gaming.

Great laptop for the price. This is the 4th legion that we have purchased and all have been excellent machines for the price.

Lenovo Legions are usually always pretty great. The keyboard is nice and has a satisfying clickyness to them and has the right amount of space in between keys that it does not feel crowded. The touchpad is serviceable. It not going to win awards, but it is large and doesn't make you wish you had a mouse when you do basic stuff online. Performance is great (for the price). The 4060 has a base 60W TDP according to CPU-Z, but the Legion software allows you to overclock it a bit. Fast DDR5 RAM is already installed (8x8), so its running in quad-channel out of the box. The 7640HS performs great for games. Cooling is great on this thing, it got loud underload/playing games; but it does not get as loud as the ASUS G16. Battery life is quite surprising despite the smaller size when compared to competitors, got around 4-7 hours on it. BUT, the screen is just terrible. Colors are really washed out. Granted you can help alleviate it by tweaking the display settings in the AMD software app, but that can only do so much (especially for the reds). Due to my work, I needed something a bit more color accurate, so I had to return it. All in all, I would recommend it when you are on a budget. When on sale, this laptop is great for those on a budget; since the screen is the only thing that is really holding it back. But if you need something with better color accuracy, the other Legion Slim 5 (the one with the Ryzen 7) is better since it also has the better and upgraded screen.

This laptop is insane. Super robust, excellent performance with a very competitive price.

Fantastic laptop. Fast and great for gaming and runs unity perfectly under stress. Can get hot so if you code in bed like me a laptop pad with fans could be useful

+ Great build quality + screen (zero bezel ish) and + design decent cpu and gpu for the price - GPU is capped by PSU , -
