Deal | Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 with RTX 4070 is 20% off for short time, making "eBay Refurbished" gamer super value
The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 is one of the most well-rounded mid-range gaming laptops on the market. The notebook nails the basics like a high-refresh-rate display, a sturdy chassis, a decent port selection, and, if you go with the right GPU, plenty of gaming performance.
As such, gamers who can’t spend more than $1,000 on a gaming laptop will be quite happy with Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 (16ARP9), especially as the laptop often goes below its official MSRP. Lenovo is now selling an “eBay Refurbished” Legion Slim 5 16 for only $966.79 with the coupon code OUTLET20 (linked at the end). However, the 20% off coupon is only valid till April 16, so you’ll have to hurry up.
Looking at the hardware, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16 Gen 9 features a Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU, a 140 W RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and 1 TB of storage. You can upgrade the RAM and storage thanks to the inclusion of SO-DIMM and M.2 slots. The internals are rounded off by a large 80 Wh battery and Wi-Fi 6E/BT 5.3
On the outside, a 16-inch 2,560x1,600 resolution IPS panel greets users with its 350-nits of advertised brightness, 165 Hz refresh rate, and 100% sRGB coverage. Based on the specs and our testing of a similar display in the Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 (16APH8), the display should be perfectly fine for gaming and media consumption.
That said, while the Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 is powerful enough for video/photo editing workloads, creatives should invest in a color-accurate monitor with an even wider gamut. Fortunately, there are plenty of cost-effective options on Amazon.
Performance-wise, the combination of the Ryzen 7 7435HS and the RTX 4070 will provide superlative FHD and solid QHD performance. Moreover, with DLSS Frame Generation enabled, gamers can take advantage of ray tracing in the latest AAA titles without performance degradation.
Unfortunately, the Ryzen 7 7435HS lacks an iGPU. So, gamers shouldn’t expect a long battery life. However, the laptop supports fast charging, as it can go from 0-100% in 80 minutes.
In conclusion, the Legion Slim 5 16 Gen 9 is a packed gaming notebook that has now become an enticing value for a limited time.
