Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8

Representatives of the Legion Slim 5 family from Lenovo are gaming laptops at the intersection of the mid-range and advanced price segments. The manufacturer positions them as some of the most compact 16-inch laptops for gamers (with a body thickness of 25mm and a weight of 2.4 kg), and as an additional feature, it declares the presence of the LA1 AI chip. This chip, through machine learning, is designed to enhance gaming performance, including increasing the frame rate in resource-intensive titles.

All representatives of the lineup are equipped with 16-inch displays, but their operational characteristics may vary. The minimum refresh rate is 144 Hz, and the resolution is 1920 by 1200 pixels, while the maximum specifications are 240 Hz and 2560x1600 pixels respectively. The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 laptops are based on the AMD Phoenix (Zen 4) platform with Ryzen 5 or 7 processors.

The engines are complemented by either 16 or 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards: all of them support hardware ray tracing and provide a high frame rate. Other notable components include solid-state SSD M.2 drives of 512/1024 GB, a pair of audio speakers based on the Realtek ALC3287 chip, and a battery with a capacity of 5182 mAh. This battery can provide nearly 10 hours of autonomous operation, supports USB C (Power Delivery) charging, and fast charging (up to 50% from zero in half an hour). Additional advantages of the laptops include keyboard backlighting, the presence of the Wi-Fi 6E wireless module, which can operate in a relatively unloaded 6 GHz range, a gigabit LAN-port, and popular connectivity interfaces.
