The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14APH8 is classified as a gaming laptop with a relatively restrained physical footprint, measuring 327 mm wide, 250 mm deep, and just 17 mm thick, with a total volume of 1389.75 cm³. It weighs 1750 g and does not use a fanless design, meaning active cooling is present. The chassis is not weather-sealed, but it does include a backlit keyboard for use in low-light conditions. Lenovo covers the unit with a 2-year warranty.
The laptop features a 14.5″ OLED/AMOLED panel running at a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, which works out to a pixel density of 234 ppi. The display refreshes at 120Hz and has a typical brightness rating of 400 nits. It does not support touch input and lacks an anti-reflection coating. The system can drive up to four external displays simultaneously.
The processor runs six cores at a base speed of 4.3 GHz, with turbo reaching 5 GHz across 12 threads, and the chip supports multithreading and 64-bit operation. System memory consists of 16 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400 MHz, which is also the maximum supported amount, with no user-accessible memory slots. Storage is handled by a 512 GB NVMe SSD over a PCIe 4.0 interface. On the graphics side, the GPU has a base clock of 712 MHz and a turbo of 1740 MHz, backed by 4 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 4.329 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 67.65 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 42.28 GPixel/s; it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate but does not include XeSS. The GPU is manufactured on an 8 nm process.
In CPU benchmarking, the system scores 2293 on the Geekbench 6 single-core test and 9208 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test. The overall PassMark result comes in at 22965, with a single-core PassMark score of 3652. GPU performance is measured by a PassMark G3D score of 9278.
The laptop provides four USB ports in total: two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, while there are no USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, or legacy Gen 1 ports. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, with no DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, or VGA connectors present. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.2. The machine also includes an external memory slot and supports AirPlay, but has no RJ45 Ethernet port.
The laptop is equipped with a 73.6 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the machine is powered off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two microphones, though it lacks Dolby Atmos and an S/PDIF output. A front camera is present, but there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command support. On the graphics side, the system supports both ray tracing and DLSS. Motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are absent, and no stylus is included. There is also no optical disc drive.
The discrete GPU is based on the Ampere architecture and includes 2048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 40 render output units, with a 128-bit memory bus running at 1500 MHz GPU memory speed and an effective memory speed of 12000 MHz, yielding a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s. The system also carries an integrated Radeon 760M GPU with 8 execution units, and Intel Resizable BAR is supported. The CPU has a clock multiplier of 43, a TDP of 75W, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and does not use big.LITTLE technology or an unlocked multiplier; its cache hierarchy consists of 384 KB L1, 6 MB L2 (1 MB/core), and 16 MB L3 (2.67 MB/core), with a maximum supported RAM speed of 7500 MHz across two memory channels. Supported instruction sets include MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, and the processor includes an NX bit and supports ECC memory and Double Precision Floating Point. OpenGL 4.6 and OpenCL 3 are supported, as is stereoscopic 3D, while LHR and air-water cooling are not present. The overclocked PassMark result is recorded at 24911.
