Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14APH8 laptop review: 120 Hz 2.8K OLED sweet spot

Gaming on OLED. The Legion Slim 5 14 is the smallest and most travel-friendly Legion laptop yet and its OLED display is certainly a standout feature not found on most other gaming laptops. However, it's missing a key feature that gamers ought to be aware of.

2023 Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14 Gen 8

The Legion Slim 5 14 is the first and smallest 14-inch Legion laptop in the family. It distinguishes itself from others in the market with its 120 Hz OLED display and slightly larger 14.5-inch screen size whereas alternatives from Razer, Acer, or Asus tend to come with 14.0-inch IPS panels.

Our review configuration a mid-range SKU with the Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU and 105 W GeForce RTX 4060 graphics for approximately $1500 USD retail. Other SKUs include the faster Ryzen 9 7940HS or slower RTX 4050, but the 14.5-inch 2.8K 120 Hz OLED non-touch display is fixed across all options. No Intel variants have been announced at the time of publishing.

The Lenovo model competes directly with other 14-inch gaming laptops like the Acer Predator Triton 14, Razer Blade 14Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, or Alienware x14.

Case — Look Like A ThinkBook, Game Like A Legion

Lenovo employs similar smooth metal materials in monotone gray across many of its Legion and ThinkBook models. Gamers who aren't drawn to the eccentric designs of Alienware or Asus ROG laptops might find the flatter and RGB-free design of the Legion Slim 5 14 to be more appealing especially for classrooms and non-gaming environments.

Chassis quality is strong from top to bottom for solid first impressions. Surfaces aren't as rigid as on the Blade 14 or Alienware x14 and this is most noticeable when applying pressure down the keyboard center or palm rests or when twisting the lid, but any flexing is still minimal.

The hinges deserve a mention as they can open the full 180 degrees unlike on other 14-inch gaming laptops. Hinge rigidity is satisfactory, but it could have been stiffer at wider angles for a better sense of longevity.

The larger 14.5-inch screen size and extended rear of the Legion design give our Legion Slim 5 14 a larger footprint than competitors like the Blade 14, Zephyrus G14, or Predator Triton 14. They all still weigh about the same, however, and so the Legion Slim 5 14 is simply not as dense.

Connectivity — Where Is USB4?

Port options are most similar to the Blade 14 albeit with very different positioning. We find the positioning to be unfavorable on the Legion Slim 5 since the ports are not evenly distributed and most of them are along the rear including the USB-A ports.

The model unfortunately lacks USB4 and Thunderbolt support. There is no Kensington lock as well.

SD Card Reader

The integrated SD reader is much faster than the one on the Predator Triton 14 but not as fast as the ones on the Zephyrus G14 or Alienware x14. Moving 1 GB of pictures from our UHS-II test card to desktop takes about 12 seconds compared to just half that on the Alienware x14.

A MediaTek MT7922 comes standard instead of the more common Intel AX211 for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. We experienced steady performance and no issues when paired to our 6 GHz AXE11000 network.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by 10 Phillips screws for easy removal. RAM is soldered leaving the two M.2 2280 SSD slots and the WLAN module as the only upgradeable components. In comparison, RAM is user-upgradeable on the 2023 Blade 14 and Zephyrus G14.

Accessories And Warranty

The retail box includes the AC adapter and paperwork with no extras. The standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.

Input Devices — No RGB Lighting

Keyboard

The keyboard maintains the feel and size of the main QWERTY keys on the larger Legion Slim 5 16 but with smaller arrow keys and an omitted numpad due to surface area constraints. The typing experience feels firm and with stronger feedback from each key when compared to the softer keys of the Blade 14. However, the narrow PgUp and PgDn keys are squeezed in between the arrow keys and they are uncomfortable to press.

Lenovo offers only a single-zone white backlight while models from Razer, Asus, and Alienware all have multi-zone RGB lighting.

Touchpad

The clickpad (12 x 7.5 cm) is larger than on the Alienware x14 (10.8 x 5.5 cm) but smaller than on the Blade 14 (15 x 8.5 cm). It's nonetheless smooth and reliable with quiet clatter when pressed. Feedback when inputting a click could be a bit firmer as it is on the softer side.

Display — Missing One Important Feature

Crisp subpixel array from the glossy overlay

The OLED display is the highlight of the Legion Slim 5 14 as it can be found on no other 14-inch gaming laptop at the moment. it offers a native 120 Hz refresh rate, dense 2.8K resolution, and full DCI-P3 colors to be fit for both gaming and content creation purposes. Most other OLED panels like the ones for the cheaper Asus VivoBook series are limited to 60 Hz or 90 Hz in comparison. The panel here even ships Pantone certified which we would not have expected from a Legion laptop designed primarily for gaming.

The biggest drawback to the display is its lack of G-Sync support which is a bummer for an expensive gaming laptop.

The display is well-calibrated out of the box against the DCI-P3 standard and so an end-user calibration won't be necessary for most users. Color temperature is slightly too warm at 6300K, however, but that is only a small nitpick. Our ICM profile is available to download above for free.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
1.01 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 0.64 ms rise
↘ 0.37 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 240.5 Hz ≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 240.5 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 240.5 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17146 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Real-world maximum brightness is around 386 nits compared to Lenovo's claim of 400 nits for SDR content. If HDR is enabled, maximum brightness would be as high as 515 nits which would match Lenovo's claim of HDR500 compatibility. The matte IPS panels on the Blade 14 or Zephyrus G14 are noticeably brighter at around 550 nits each for SDR content for better outdoor visibility when compared to our very glossy Lenovo model.

Processor

The Ryzen 7 7840HS performs well with no major throttling issues and with multi-thread results that are just 10 percent behind the common 13th gen Core i7-13700H. Upgrading to the Ryzen 9 7940HS configuration is expected to boost performance by 10 percent which would effectively close that gap. In other words, you'd have to upgrade to the Ryzen 9 configuration if you want the same processing power as the Intel Core i7.

More powerful Ryzen HX-class CPUs like the Ryzen 9 7945HX are only available on larger screen sizes.
