When it comes to mid-range gaming laptops, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 devices are some of the most popular options on the market for a few reasons. For starters, the Legion Slim 5 laptops pack decent hardware for the price. Secondly, the Legion Slim 5 machines, as suggested by the name, aren’t too bulky like traditional gaming laptops. Additionally, Lenovo also does a good job with the design of these laptops as they don’t feature outrageous “gamer” aesthetics.

If these qualities appeal to you, you’d be pleased to know that the latest Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 with an RTX 4070 laptop GPU and a Ryzen 7 8845HS is going for only $1,231.99 at eBay with the coupon code LABORDAYOFF applied at checkout. This price represents a discount of $528 on the $1,759.99 list price.

In addition to the CPU and GPU mentioned above, the laptop also packs 16 GB of expandable memory, 1 TB of storage, a 4-zone RGB keyboard, an 80 Wh battery, and a healthy port selection that covers all the essentials.

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16 Gen 9 should make for a good multimedia machine

While the RTX 4070 laptop and the Ryzen 7 8845HS should afford the Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 solid gaming performance, the laptop should also make for a good media consumption machine. The 16-inch display on offer boasts a resolution of 1600p alongside a 165 Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage, 350 nits of brightness, and Nvidia G-Sync support. So, even though the brightness is a little less than ideal, the Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 should make for a nice media consumption device, especially since the laptop will likely, like the Lenovo Slim 5 Gen 8, last for a good while on battery.

All in all, Lenovo has gotten a lot right with the 16-inch Legion Slim 5 Gen 9. From the performance to the display, the device presents a well-rounded package that is a pretty good buy at the current price.
