Reviews for the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16AHP9
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16AHP9 Review: Maxed-out RTX 4060
Source: 91mobiles
For a little over Rs. 1.4 lakhs, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16AHP9 is one of those rare gaming laptops that manage to strike the right balance between raw power, portability, and everyday usability. It delivers high-end performance thanks to its combo of the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor and full-powered RTX 4060 GPU (140W TGP), all while maintaining a comparatively slim and travel-friendly form factor. The high-resolution 16-inch 165Hz display is vibrant and sharp, while features like good port selection, decent battery life, and upgradeable internals add to its appeal. It’s ideal for gamers, students, and creators looking for a powerful yet versatile machine. However, those on a tighter budget might want to consider the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9, which offers similar specs but with a 1080p screen and a lower-TGP GPU, making it more affordable, albeit slightly less capable.

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (16, Gen 9) review – The Good, the Warm, and the Powerful
Source: Laptop Media
At the end of the day, Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (16, Gen 9) is a powerhouse that is also thin (for a gaming gadget). The chassis is solid and the keyboard is comfortable for gaming or typing. Of course, a not-so-thick profile combined with high-end hardware leads to high noise levels during gaming in “Performance” mode. The fans don’t spin that aggressively when the “Balance” preset is applied but the GPU TGP is reduced from 132W to just 75W. Interestingly, the overall power is good but in some gaming titles, the RTX 4070 isn’t showing its full potential (like Far Cry 6 or Gears 5). Perhaps Lenovo could fix this issue with future updates(but maybe the CPU is the bottleneck since some scores on Low or Medium details are too low).

R7 8845HS: A powerful Hawk Point family chip that saw the light of day in H2 2023. We believe the 8845HS to be an R7 7840HS in disguise but with higher clock speeds on the Ryzen AI NPU. The 8845HS features 8 cores (16 threads thanks to SMT support) running at up to 5.1 GHz. Last but not the least, the Radeon 780M serves as the integrated GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
