Lenovo has already launched Gen 9 of Legion Slim 5, which brings the latest AMD Hawk Point processors and Nvidia RTX 4070. While it’s definitely a good upgrade over the predecessor, the Gen 8 variants are still a great purchase, especially when they’re enjoying discounts.
Speaking of which, the 16-inch Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 is on sale. You can grab it for as low as $899.99, making it one of the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming laptops around. Of course, the Ryzen 5 7640HS in the laptop may not make the system seem powerful. But this is a good combo, and you should get a smooth experience in pretty much all the modern titles with high graphics settings and at 1080p.
However, if you want a gaming system with more processing power, you can get the same laptop with the Ryzen 7 7840HS, also on sale at Best Buy. It’s currently going for $1,079.99, a hefty $450 discount from the regular price, and it’s a great price as well.
When we checked out the maxed-out Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16 Gen 8, we found a good number of aspects where this gaming laptop shines. Aside from the performance, it comes with an excellent IPS screen with up to 165 Hz refresh rate and good response times.
Even though it’s on the slimmer side, the last-gen Legion Slim 5 16 comes with a capable cooling setup. In our tests, the laptop stayed relatively cool during the gaming sessions. Another big highlight is the 80 WHr battery, which can offer respectable runtimes. You can learn more by reading our in-depth review found at this link or watching the review video attached below.
