RE: Get to the point.
Hi,
I'm Payne. I'm still trying to work all of this out. For now, it will be a mishmash of (hopefully) quality content in the super saturated gaming/tech/review wheelhouse. This is a pretty good opportunity for you as a subscriber to push me in the right direction, so I can better provide you with videos you actually want to see.
For anyone who wants to give a small TH-camr a go and get in on the ground floor, feel free to email me at hello@payne.media.
Kind Regards,
Payne.

Overcoming My Fear of Spiders with Grounded.
There's no antiglare 😅
Definitely not the best in sunlight.
I own the Oled version 2024 and is a beast. Temps can be controlled with a llano fan, but is kind of loud. If you want good fps with lower wattage, this is it. My desktop need over 800W screen included and this can generate high frames for a little over 300w. The display is beautiful, but sound is terrible.
Agree on the sound, it is great. I've never seen a screen this good on another laptop though.
The temps are very high. Is it comfortable at the keyboard or the fans are loud?
Yes it is. The fans get loud but not as loud as my Legion Slim 7. The keyboard is comfortable to use with only a little bit of heat in performance mode.
@@Payne. thats not too bad. My other option would be the msi titan 18hx but that is a massive piece compared to this lol. Also that has 4k mini led and no g-sync which is bad.
Should i get the rtx 4050 or the 4060 for legion slim 5 ? Will it affect performance in future (4-5 years).
The 4060 is a much better card in comparison to the 4050. The 4060 and 4070 are similar so there isn't much of a jump. A lot of this has to do with the amount of VRAM the card has.
Looks like a awesome chair
It's really comfortable, I'm still happy with it.
Have you tried connecting it to a speaker? How was it?
I have and it works, I just don't have it set up permanently because the projector is on a tripod. If I mounted it somewhere or it was a short throw projector it would be a different story.
The new Snapdragon chip is out and makes this laptop insignificant.
Thanks for stopping by. In what way does it make the Slim 5 insignificant?
can it be adjusted safely when power is out ?
Not that I'm aware of. I don't believe there is a manual way to adjust the desk if the power is out.
@@Payne. thanks for ansdwer
i reckon they should make this featuire
how do get free chair and arm ?
I made a video of the desk and they liked it enough to provide me with a chair and arm which I also made a video for.
can we still watch with lights on? Thanks!
You can yes but projectors are designed with dim or no lights. Have a look at the lighting section of my video to see what I mean.
How’s the framerate like while playing games?
It's great. It really depends on the game, something like Elden Ring on the Series S is only 30fps with no VRR. I play Destiny 2 on it all the time and haven't noticed any framerate issues.
@@Payne. great to hear! I just ordered mine
@@Payne. btw can the projector run at 120hz?
This vid made me subbed your channel. The best review!
I love you video the only review of this laptop that is good. Could you please test terminator dark fate defiance max settings in this laptop? As well as star wars battlefront 2 (2017) Thank you so much!

Now I can watch my real housewives anywhere in the house ;)
Friend do you still own this laptop ?
I had a request related to a game benchmark on this machine
What game did you want me to check?
Arl survival ascendent on 1080p (bcus this will unable to handle 1440p) with maxed out every thing This game is free on xbox pass
How much do you weigh? I'm 110kg And I've been sitting in a Aeron for 27 years! Back then I paid $1,500 AU. The current going price is $2,700. The point is, this chair has a 10-year warranty so I could buy three of these for 1 Aeron. And have cash left over. And if each lasts 10 years then I'm getting longer life than I did out of my one Aeron.
93kg. The chair is still going strong and I'm really happy with it.
I got the version with 16gb of ram by mistake. I wanted to get 32 gb. Is 16gb good or it is very less by today's standard. I will manly use it for data science, coding and games.
I really recommend the 32GB model if it's possible for you to get. It depends on how much more it costs.
I've been interested in the Slim 5 14 but the OLED screen using PWM has me worried and it's been holding me back. Have you experienced eye fatigue using it?
None so far and I use it a lot. It's a really nice screen.
7k for a laptop and it deosnt that give much more fps than my current laptop? that's insane
Australian prices are insane. It's a great laptop and has an absolutely beautiful screen but it's diminishing returns the higher up you go.
which chair are you using?
Desky Pro+ Ergonomic Chair. I have a review on my channel about it!
do you think the lenovo slim 5 is good for a college computer science student? im fine with all the specs, but is it durable? does it break easily at all, are the hinges okay? thank you so much for the video
It's really well built. I travel with it everyday and haven't had any problems.
$7k for a laptop is just bonkers I'm sorry. I could buy a Chanel bag for that! ;) hint hint wink wink
He should review bags too. *cough*
Yes you deserve a pay rise 👍😉
Haha, I need to get paid first.
7k? Thats a used car!

@@shagstars It's pretty crazy how expensive these laptops are, but if you're after a desktop like experience with portability, that's the price of admission.
Hey there! Thanks for all the reviews and updates with this issue! I believe the 7i problem lied with some bios/driver issue; the stuttering seems like the computer switching randomly between the iGPU and the dGPU. Now that you have thoroughly tested both , how do you see the screen size of the 14' to use without an additional monitor? I wanted to buy a P1 G6 as a mobile workstation, but saw that the thinkpads have a really serious issue with overheating :(, spent a whole night re-researching my options and ended up deciding between the slim5 14 (the 16' looks awfull honestly, although technically makes more sense lol), and the 7i; and I would 100% would go with the slim 5, but Im afraid that the screen might be too small for photoshop (i mainly do image editing). Also, how did you see the 7i performance while working on it? I barely game, so maybe your issue wouldnt affect me so much, since I can just manually switch to balanced/performance before gaming once or twice a month :v.
Thank you for the kind words. I personally don't use the 14" to edit video, I really rely on a monitor for that. I have used a P1, P16 and P17 and the P17 overheated initially. After a firmware update and setting it to performance via the Windows power settings, the issue was resolved. The 7i was fine for editing videos, and the model I used was the 2023 one. I'm sure the most recent release is fine and I just got a dud. In the end, I love the Slim 5 for its build and versatility, it's a little workhorse.
Great review! Thanks. I like setting the resistance on my current 'cheapo' chair to its lowest setting which allows me a rocking motion. Can this chair do that?
Sorry for the delay. The answer is sort of. You can rock in the chair, but there is a bit of resistance doing it! I always have it in a locked position, so maybe it will lose some of that resistance over time if I rock in it more. I'll test it out and let you know.
You're videos are lovely mate 👍
Glad you like them!
Lenovo laptops, especially the Thinkpad & Legion line are tops for me. I have a Gen5? Legion 7 (10750H/2070Super) and a Gen8 Legion 7 SLIM AMD (7840HS/4060) Different animals for sure. The Gen 5 will boost it's ass off (hard to keep cool thanks to the 10th gen Intel) The Gen8 is cool, calm and collected. It will run anything I've thrown at it even on silent mode it gets it done. Unplug it, and run it saver mode, it will get around 8hrs of YT. Both were about 1200 at the time of purchase. My next will be another Legion.
Almost every Lenovo laptop I've used has been excellent with the only disappointment being the 7i from last year. The Yogas are built really well and are super premium.
ordered one - iam happy ! haha
one year owning the legion 7i with the best specs, i totally agree with you that this is just not a good laptop and is not worth its price. Yea it looks good on paper but the laptop overheats just by browsing the web, or actually by just being open. Absolute nightmare what they have done. Sorry Lenovo but creating powerrful slim computers is not your thing, and if you need something that works better pay a bit more and go with a macbook pro.
While my experience with the Slim 7i wasn't great I have to say that the Slim 5 is excellent. It seems to be model and year dependent.
Is there an alternative 14 inch laptop to the legion slim 5 currently in 2024, or is this still the best bang for your buck if you want a 14 inch model? One with 32 gb.....
HP Omen Transcend 14inch is meant to be good but I can't see a 32GB model. I'd love to review one!
@@Payne. But the hp omen has the gpu crippled with only 80 watts

Got this and it's arriving in a week but for some reason there was no 32gb option in the US, the ram Is my only worry. Will this be ok in the future?
What sort of games do you play and what kind of applications are you running?
@@Payne. 3d modeling software like autodesk inventor and Im getting into video editing, just worried about having a bunch of chrometabs open along with these kinds of software. Games will probably not be an issue
@@samkim3304 Honestly, you might struggle a bit with those applications. Editing on 32GB makes quite a big difference.

Hello, I just ordered this legion slim 14 computer, now I have to wait for it to arrive and install the windows, I'll ask you, did you try lenovo toolki or directly lenovo advantage brings together suggestions Greetings, an Argentinian in Europe
Lenovo Vantage. I didn't need to do anything with toolkit for this laptop to perform. It's a great gaming laptop, you'll love it.
What do you think about the soldered 16gb, would it be a deal breaker?
Unfortunately I do. It really depends what you're playing but I highly recommend getting he 32gb model.
@@Payne. I'm picking mine tomorrow, but might return because of that, thanx for replying
It really does just work. I tried about 9 laptops and this was the only one that actually did what it said without burning up or having some power issue or some sort of glitchy setup. Lenovo really finished this laptop where most laptops feel like unfinished products in one way or another.
Agreed. I've used a number of "incomplete" laptops over the years and at this point I was really surprised this laptop performed as well as it did. A lot of the time I think there is just too much tech under the hood or hardware incompatibilities cause problems.
Hey man, great video! I'm wondering what kind of battery life you can get out of this thing while gaming? Both with heavy AAA titles like the ones you showed, and lighter gaming.
Not much. I never play off battery but a couple of times I've forgotten to plug in when playing Destiny 2 on dedicated graphics. What I can say is that it runs really well without being plugged in, almost to the point that you don't notice. I've definitely played for around 30 minutes before the screen dimmed and it went into power saving. I do 45 minutes train rides with indie titles and I still have more than half my battery left. I'm sure I'd get more running on the iGPU.
@@Payne. Ah. So it's pretty similar to my 2020 Legion 5 then. Thanks for the reply!
Solid review! Thanks for taking the time to make it 👍🏻
Loving the wholesome family vibes in this video :)
The laptop does have an hdmi 2.1 port though, so if you were to connect to a gsync capable tv or external monitor via hdmi would it work? I guess I'm asking if the lack of gsync is strictly due to the diaplay panel, or if it's not available in the graphics card
It would work, it just isn't native Gsync. It doesn't make a difference to me though. Not saying Gsync is overrated, it just doesn't matter a whole lot to my gaming experience.
Can't wait to get mine next week!!
With that 14.5” screen - even if you run it at about 1080p resolution you will still have way higher PPI than running 4K on a 27” monitor. If you want to max out the FPS I would think turning down the resolution would potentially be the best option.
Absolutely. A lot of the games I'm playing run great at native resolution with DLSS on but going to 1080p doesn't impact the quality that much on a 14".
Really helpful video, how the cushion is holding up with long term use?
Really well, I sit in it for close to 8 hours a day on and off. Just as good as the day I got it!
i had the slim 7 as well was a horror of issues with the display backlight failing three times the fan shorted out which led to thee laptop not turning on and it was a nightmare but lenovo was kind enough to offer me a refund and I got the gen 9 legion 7i which is going smoothly
