Gaming- Ryzen 7 8845HS · RTX 4070 8GB
- 32GB DDR5 · 1TB NVMe
- 16" WQXGA high-refresh IPS
Who this is for. Buy the Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 16-inch if you want RTX 4070-class gaming in a 16-inch WQXGA chassis and you will verify the MTM on Lenovo PSREF so you do not accidentally pay for a Legion 5 Pro or a lower-TGP GPU.
This is the 16-inch gaming pick we would actually game on at 1440p-class resolutions. It is louder and heavier than an ultrabook. Confirm Ryzen 7 8845HS plus RTX 4070 8GB, 32GB DDR5, and 1TB NVMe on the exact listing — “Legion Slim 5” is a family, not a SKU.

Buying notes for the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 (16")
Lenovo’s Legion Slim 5 Gen 9 16-inch AMD configs commonly pair a Ryzen 7 8845HS with an RTX 4070 Laptop GPU. Street pricing for that stack often sits in the $1,500–$1,900 band. AISneer does not hold inventory. You complete the purchase on Lenovo.com or a retailer. “Legion 5 Pro” is a different chassis with different cooling and panel options — do not mix the photos.
GPU wattage (TGP) is not printed on the lid. Two RTX 4070 listings can differ by tens of watts and by a few hundred dollars. Open the spec PDF or PSREF for the MTM. If you mostly play at 1080p high-refresh, an RTX 4060 in the Katana 15 can be enough; the 4070 is the better QHD+ and light Blender/CUDA dual-use card in this catalog.
Memory and storage should not be the upgrade you postpone. 32GB DDR5 is the comfortable gaming-plus-Chrome setup; 16GB is the floor. Many Slim 5 units use SODIMMs, unlike the soldered 32GB on the Zephyrus G14. 1TB NVMe avoids the “OS plus two games” squeeze. Confirm slot count on the HMM if you plan to add a second drive.
The 16-inch WQXGA high-refresh IPS-class panel is why this machine exists. Exact hertz varies by panel SKU. It is not an OLED. If you want a 14-inch 3K OLED in a thinner bag, that is the Zephyrus G14 GA403 in this catalog, at a higher price and with soldered RAM. If you want fps-per-dollar at 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz, that is the Katana 15.
Thermals and noise are the cost of a 4070 in a slim 16-inch shell. Expect fan ramp in demanding titles. If you need a silent office laptop, look at XPS or Carbon instead. Manufacturer warranty and Legion Ultimate Support are SKU and region options — they are not included because you clicked our deal button.
