Analysis

DeveloperCreative WorkLight Gaming

The Legion Slim 5 14AHP9 is a 2024 thin gaming laptop trading some thermals for portability. It pairs a AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS with 16 GB soldered LPDDR5x and a 2.8K OLED OLED panel at 14". At 1.62 kg with a 73 Wh battery, it is desk-friendly.

Strengths

  • 2.8K OLED OLED display with deep blacks
  • 120 Hz smooth refresh rate
  • Large 73 Wh battery for all-day use
  • Discrete NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU (6 GB VRAM)
  • Capable of heavy gaming at 1080p
  • High-performance 8-core CPU

Limitations

  • RAM soldered — not user-upgradeable
  • No built-in Ethernet
  • No SD card reader

Editorial Notes

The Legion Slim 5 14 Gen 9 AMD is Lenovo's attempt to bring serious gaming performance to a 1.62 kg portable. The Ryzen 7 8845HS + RTX 4050 Laptop in a sub-15mm chassis is genuinely impressive — sustained gaming performance is lower than the full Legion 5 but workable. The 2.8K OLED at 120 Hz is exceptional for the category and far above competing gaming ultrabooks' typical IPS panels. Soldered LPDDR5x RAM is the key compromise.

Known Issues

Soldered LPDDR5x means no RAM upgrade path — buy the 32 GB configuration if budget allows. Sustained gaming TGP is lower than full Legion 5 due to chassis thermal limits. The OLED panel draws more battery power during gaming than IPS alternatives.

Swiss Market

Available at Digitec and Brack in the CHF 1300–1600 range. Competes with ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 for Swiss users wanting a portable gaming laptop. The OLED display is a genuine differentiator at this price.
