Two days stand between us and freedom (at least from our 9-to-5s). While you start to plan your weekend, ask yourself: Is my gaming rig up to the task of an epic digital adventure? Well, is it? If not, this big-screen gaming laptop has come to save you from mediocre gaming with its powerful GPU and heroic cape of RGB backlighting. The Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 is currently Lenovo’s featured deal, which sees $480 slashed off a configuration that can work hard and game harder.We called the previous gen an "overpowered midranger" in our review, which should tell you a lot about the bang for your buck this deal offers.

Our expert reviewed the previous model, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8, in 2023 and praised some shared aspects, including the sharp and fast 2,560-by-1,600 display, sturdy build, and excellent keyboard layout. The difference between generations lies in the components, namely, the speedier AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU. In testing, we found, “The Slim shined in the graphics and gaming tests, showing off the potency of its design,” with its RTX 4060 GPU, which is featured in the Gen 9 model. That’s good news, because the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 model is on sale right now for 26% off, and the Editors’ Choice award-winning formula shines through in this model. Also included with your purchase are three months of Xbox PC Game Pass, a $35 value that grants access to an expanding catalogue of video games and exclusive discounts in the Xbox Store.
