Lenovo - Legion Slim 7 15" 4K Ultra HD Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti - 1TB SSD - Shadow Black

My Pros: - Great display, colors are vibrant, high brightness, anti-glare so it's usable outdoors, and good black levels/ contrast. - Good Performance from the Ryzen 5900HX . I do recommend you look into turning off turbo boost or changing power level settings with Ryzen controller while gaming in turbo mode. If not your CPU temps will be higher than they need to be (95c+) for little to no benefit in games. - Full Power 3050 TI GPU ( other slim laptops will often go with a low powered version instead) - Full-size SD card Slot - Empty full-size NVME SSD slot for adding more storage - Good Linux support, I installed Linux Mint on a second SSD I installed inside this laptop. I can easily use Windows or Linux when needed this way. - USB-C charging support - Lightweight and slim without feeling cheap. - Upgradable ram slot ( I wish it had 2 slots though!) - The privacy shutter for the webcam is nice - MUX Switch ( This should be standard on all laptops with a DGPU) My Cons: - The 3050 Ti is ok for most games but the 4GB of vram will keep you from playing many newer AAA games at 1440P or higher. (1080P games still look great on this screen). - Having all the USB-C ports on the right side is very odd. Since you will use them for video out and sometimes for charging having them on the right side where a mouse would be is beyond silly. The best spot would have been to place the USB-C ports at the back and move the standard-size USB ports to the side. - Fingerprints, this laptop grabs them like crazy. I'll probably buy a skin for the lid part because I dislike the greasy look. At this price point I think these laptops should have some kind of anti-smudge coating. - I'm not a fan of the offset touchpad, I prefer a centered touchpad but I understand with the numpad it kinda pushes things to the side. - 1 of the ram slots is soldered Overall I think this is a great laptop for photo/video editors that casually game. If your more of a heavy gamer but still want the slim design I'd consider the FHD version of this laptop with the RTX 3060 GPU over this one.

I have been choosing a laptop for a long time and stopped there. It is thin, comfortable and productive. I connect three monitors to it, play games, use a browser with many tabs, photoshop, video and audio processing programs. A great choice for these money. BUT, I had to return TWO laptops because they were damaged when they arrived to me.

The laptop itself is amazing. It runs very smoothly and I can multitask like crazy with a super bright screen, battery life is great considering how powerful the laptop is, keyboard is pretty comfy. I absolutely love the fingerprint login on the power button. It reads your fingerprint as soon as you press it to turn it on so you don't have to wait for it to finish starting up for it to work! A few reasons for the 4 star rating though: -My biggest issue is the power cable that came with the laptop. It works just fine, except that laptops (and subsequently their power cords) are literally built to be mobile/portable which means you will be wrapping and unwrapping the power cable many times. This has caused some severe breakage on the cable (picture attached to this review) and only a few months after buying this laptop I'm going to have to buy a $70+ replacement power cable soon. I've owned dozens of laptops over my life and have never had this issue before. -I have to disable the mouse pad when using the WASD keys for gaming or my palm hits the pad and causes unintended movements or actions. They offset the mouse pad to the left for the number pad I suppose. -The specifications when I bought the laptop on the Best Buy website said "Customizable Keyboard Lighting: RGB" when this is not the case, white is the only color available. Months after buying this and they still haven't changed that on the specifications page, but that may be more so on Best Buy than Lenovo. I was a tiny bit disappointed though.

Really fast and responsive, For the price this one is good. Work, gaming and streaming.

Held up very well. Good product delivery was fast.

Very happy with my purchase. Does heat up pretty quickly but I think once I get a cooking pad that will help! Great computer!

So to be honest, i really had high hopes of keeping this laptop a long time. It worked well for almost a year until the motherboard failed. Thank goodness for Best Buy total tech because we live in a day and age now where these devices will not and are not designed to last more than 5 years. I have had many legion gaming laptops and feel like maybe this one just was a dud. Anyways, the graphics were amazing when it did work. Ive move onto desktop gaming pcs and got my eye on one of those 360hz 4k gaming monitors.

Overall this is a goodblaptop yo game and works great as a work laptop for a job or for college. Really good display also and a good laptop to edit too.
