The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is as close as you can get to a midrange laptop without spending midrange money. The Slim comes with an RTX 4050, an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS, and 8GB of DDR5 RAM, giving you solid performance when it comes to gaming, general day-to-day use, and productivity. That’s all at base-spec, of course, and you can upgrade to an RTX 4060, 16GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7, which is well worth it if you want something a bit closer to midrange. The 16-inch, 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution screen won’t push the GPU too hard, and it’ll more easily hit the 144Hz refresh rate.
