Whether you're gaming, streaming, or multitasking, this laptop handles it all with ease.

If you're in the market for a gaming laptop that can handle both work and play, the Legion Slim 5 is definitely worth considering.

Great 16” laptop. The aspect ratio is 16/10. I didnt think this was going to male a difference, but in games the 16/10 makes the screen feel much bigger. I needed something for video rendering amd online gaming in my free time. This worried me a bit since I was coming from an i7 11th gen/3070 combo. But that laptop started to feel very slow after updating it to win 11. I saw this on a deal and thought to give it a try. The amd 7640 is better than expected and battery life is almost 3x better than the intel I was on. The 4060 does outperform my previous 3070 laptop. And I had a full power 3070 laptop. This cost less than half of what I paid for in the i7/3070 combo. I am on COD and Starfield most of the time and easily get over 100+ fps in both. If you need something more powerful I would go for the amd 7840 series cpu but I havent had any experience with that cpu. The ryzen 7640 is more than capable and getting this with the 4060 for under $900 was a steal. It has an rgb keyboard and the lenovo suite to control fan speed. I havent really seen the gpu go over 70c while gaming. That could be due to the amd cpu not being as hot as intel. Cpu stays cooler so it keeps the gpu cooler. If you see this for under 1k$ consider it.

I am rating this by value first, because price matters. I got this as an "open box" so on top of the sale price it was bright down further to a cool $750. Getting a 60 series GPU laptop 6 months after release for $750 with a decent CPU (also new) is kind of insane. The performance is great for the class and price. I'm VERY happy with it. I got it specifically for editing photo/video when away from my desktop and tethering for photo shoots. I DON'T use it for gaming BUT I did load Control on it and cranked the ray tracing and it was great, no lagging. I didn't check but I'm sure it was at least 60fps average. The ONLY downside is the screens color gamut. Very lacking but for my work flow, I just do color grades at home and plug my monitor in. But by then everything else is done so its still saving me TONS of time having a mobile editing/tethering rig. Battery life is ok not great at all but its a "slim gaming" form factor, that to be frank, isn't that slim. But given that, I wasnt expecting super long battery life anyway and (depending on what you're doing) t holds up just fine for me. Great value and very capable for most work applications. Plus, who doesnt love LED keyboards?

I am from Morocco and I bought this one during the winter sales for 850$ (it cost 3x times the price where I live!), even the fact that bestbuy isn’t delivering to my country, someone got it for me. All I can tell is this laptop satisfies all what I need seamlessly (work, entertainment and especially gaming). I thought that the R5 won’t be a powerful CPU, but it proved me wrong. The same thing goes for the RTX 4060. The only average aspect (although it’s not a bummer) is the screen: colors and brightness are not enough for people looking for the best visual experience.

I have had this laptop for the past 10ish or so days and it has worked amazing! It runs my games great. Fans get a bit loud under load but it does keep the components cool so no problems with that. When not playing games though the fans are very silent. The screen is nice and crisp too! 144hz feels so smooth and the colors on the panel are nice. Overall I am very happy with my purchase, I got a Zen 4 AMD CPU and a RTX 40 series card for $899 with a nice display too, I can't complain at all. I was coming from an M1 Macbook Pro and now whenever I use it, it feels so slow lol.

I’m using this machine nearly still the performance is great. I play more than 4 hrs a day and never notice lag in performance. Following is the game I played and the machine can handle like nothing The last of us one, RDR 2, GTA V, Resident evil 4 remake, A plague tale requiem, shadow of the tomb raider, God of war PC, It’s worth buying. I just upgraded additional 2TB SSD to storage. It is very well all rounded PC recommended for everyone.

My son absolutely loves this laptop. I bought it so he could download games from STEAM. Love the colors on the keyboard. Performance is lightning fast. Exactly what he wanted. I ended up buying 2 because the sale price was fantastic. Almost like getting 2 for the price of 1.

Great laptop! Nice display, fast, solid build quality, great keyboard! Overall great experience.

Bought it on sale and couldn't be happier with the performance. Was getting 80fps on cyberpunk high settings and with dlss over 120. The lenovo software doesn't have anywhere that tells you thermal temps which is annoying but overall very happy with the purchase. 512 gigs is a little small but there is a 2nd m.2 slot which makes upgrading memory really easy.

I bought with a discount and it was worth it, good performance on games, loads my apps so fast, and a really good choice for school as well, I'm so happy with this laptop.

For the price I bought it (which cause of a discount was 800) it’s one of the best bang for your buck, I can play any game from medium to Ultra depending on how demanding the game is.

I love my laptop. It runs everything at incredible speeds, the graphics are clear and it’s a solid built laptop. Some of the keys seem to be coming up but I use a separate keyboard and it doesn’t interfere much with my usage.

Brought this laptop in December of last year doing the review now since I wanted to see how it runs. It runs superb the graphics are lovely and you can even play heavy duty games like COD and others even on the highest settings. I do play light games on this since I use my pc for heavy games. The fan rarely does get loud but when it does its only for some seconds and then itll go quiet again. There will be finger smudges on the laptop but you can always clean those up. The rbg keyboard does change when clicking fn+space plus it quiet when typing.

Amazing laptop for both gaming and everyday work. Got it on sale and can't beat the performance and overall function for the price ($800). I tried several other mid to higher end range and felt like this was better overall in terms of balance, keyboard quality, 'minimal fan noise and heat. Not the prettiest build but just a solid product overall. Cable management in the back of laptop is nice. Screen color could be richer. Anti glare is nice. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful performance. From browsing the web to graphic requested games. This unit is all I need to satify my gaming needs, while be fully funcional. Downside: heavy

So far I love it! It runs all the games I want. Very happy with it.

Love it for a gaming laptop it’s been great one issue is something’s the screen stays off after sleep but solved by switching to the nvida gpu full time the hybrid switch between the cpu graffics and gpu to save power wasn’t worth having to do a reboot of it stays blank battery life has been great not gaming of course gets upper 160-200 fps in cod on balanced settings

I needed a work/game laptop and did not know if this would cover both fronts. I have to say that it has done that very well with no issues other than a short battery time. The graphics work well in Starfield and AC Ragnarok, and my work stuff. It is not too noisy and not too heavy and the price range is fantastic for the performance it gives back.

Got it on sale Black Friday for 899 awesome performance for the price it’s a keeper

The laptop is a little on the bigger side and plasticy feel but the ports and the upgradibility aspect makes it a versatile device. It is not the best looking laptop for business but it packs a performance punch and is good for heavy duty tasks like coding and video editing.
