Other specs include 16 GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, 16-inch QHD+ IPS display with 165 Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB color gamut, and an SD card reader.
Lenovo’s US store currently has the Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 powered by the new Ryzen 7 7840HS APU along with the Nvidia RTX 4060 dGPU discounted to US$1,219.99, which can further be reduced via a BENGEXTRA6 code from SlickDeals down to US$1,146.80.
This 2023 Legion Slim 5 gaming laptop variant also comes with a 16-inch 2560×1600 IPS that has 165 Hz refresh rate + GSYNC, 300-nit peak brightness and 100% sRGB color gamut. The 8-core R7 7840HS integrates a Radeon 780M RDNA3 GPU with decent gaming capabilities, but, for more advanced titles that can use super resolution and frame generation algorithms, the RTX 4060 with 8 GB VRAM and 100 W TGP makes more sense. The processor is coupled with 16 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and the storage side is populated with a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
Port selection includes 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 2, 2x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (one with DP video only and another full option), HDMI 2.1 video out, SD card reader, audio combo jack and GbE jack. Wireless connectivity is offered through a Wi-Fi 6E + BT 5.1 card. It also features a 1080p webcam with privacy shutter, 4-zone RGB backlit full-size keyboard, 80 Wh battery and total system weight is 2.4 kg (5.29 lbs). Lenovo includes a 3-month Xbox Game Pass as bonus. For a more detailed analysis, check out our review for this variant.

I first stepped into the wondrous IT&C world when I was around seven years old. I was instantly fascinated by computerized graphics, whether they were from games or 3D applications like 3D Max. I’m also an avid reader of science fiction, an astrophysics aficionado, and a crypto geek. I started writing PC-related articles for Softpedia and a few blogs back in 2006. I joined the Notebookcheck team in the summer of 2017 and am currently a senior tech writer mostly covering processor, GPU, and laptop news.
