The Legion Slim 5 is a mid-range machine that is an update to the 2023 model, with new AMD CPUs, a more powerful GPU option, and an optional 240 Hz display.

The Slim 5 16 Gen 9 has a sleek and understated design that doesn’t scream “gamer.” It’s packed with ports, including two USB-C ports with DisplayPort, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an RJ45 jack, and an SD card reader.

The 16-inch display is available in either a 165 Hz or 240 Hz refresh rate option, both with a 3ms response time and 500 nits of brightness. The 240 Hz panel is a new addition for 2024 and is sure to please gamers who demand the smoothest possible gameplay.

Under the hood, the Slim 5 16 Gen 9 is powered by AMD Ryzen 8040 Hawk Point CPUs and up to an NVIDIA RTX 4070 laptop GPU. The thinner version of the laptop is limited to an RTX 4050 GPU, but that’s still plenty of power for most games.
