Lenovo – Legion Slim 5 14.5″ OLED Gaming Laptop – Ryzen 7 7840HS with 16GB Memory – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8GB with 1 TB SSD – Storm Grey

What an awesome laptop! I have only had this rig for a weekend so far but I am enjoying every moment with it. I can run Diablo IV at high, averaging 90 FPS and COD MW2/3 at high, averaging about the same if not 5-8% less. Running on battery, it can maybe eek out 2 hours and change when playing a triple A title. Video playback can get upwards of 7 hours or more (depending on screen brightness, volume, etc). I haven’t tested generic clerical tasks but I would imagine you could stretch it to 9 hours with the right settings. In my mind, the absolute killer take away for this machine is the screen. At a gorgeous 2880×1800 resolution, this OLED panel really brings out a vibrant and dynamic color range. Yes, it’s only 14.5″ diagonally but I quite honestly can’t say I’ve seen a more impressive screen of this size (and at this price). I highly recommend to check one out in-store because the photos won’t do it justice. Overall this has been a fantastic experience and as a mediocre gamer who wanted to remedy travel and games, this accomplishes that.

Have been eyeing this laptop every since it came out last year, has amazing reviews and decided to grab when it dropped to $1100. It does not disappoint. It is, well built and sturdy, has amazing performance, quiet, and a Small form factor. As a college student this laptop has been great. It doesn’t have the usual gamer look, but it still catches some attention. Performance: Haven’t tested more demanding games, but so far its dead quiet running Rocket League at 240fps. However, when I tested Cities Skylines 2 the fans do get really loud, performance seemed just about is expected of a Ryzen 7000 Screen: Its a great screen. OLED, 120Hz, and really bright. My only complaint is the glossy finish. Sound: In quiet mode it is really quiet, but when in performance mode, it gets really, really loud. I could hear it from across another room. Keyboard: It is a shame it doesnt atleast have per zone RGB at this price point, but It doesn’t ruin the asthetic at all. The typing experience felt a lot better compared to my previous laptop (HP OMEN 16), especially the mousepad. The mousepad feels amazing. Quality: When it comes to quality this thing is a tank. The overall finish, and built quality of the chassis feels premium. The best part to me was the screen barely wobbles, and it doesnt seem to be a fingerprint magnet. Overall, it feels really solid. Battery: This was the main reason why I bought this laptop, the battery is really good. In quiet mode, 60hz, full keyboard backlight, and screen slightly dimmed, I get around 4 to 6 hours, depending on the workload. I have seen other users get around 8 hours though on video playback. Some notes which I believe are not mentioned: – GPU is 105W – I believe the RAM is soldered, so no upgradability there. – Speakers are average at best, but I always use headphones so not a problem for me – 100W USB C charging – No ethernet port – Has a fingerprint reader
