Yes it can, I bought the Legion 5 Slim Gen 9 model on a deal posted by the same op on 5/31. The only difference with that model was it came with a 8845HS CPU and 16 GB DDR5-5600 RAM. the main difference with the 8845HS CPU is the addition of Ryzen AI, in which so far I don't see any benefit.

The bottom cover is easy to remove via 10 standard phillips head screws. It had a single 16 GB stick (sk Hynix) with an additional slot in which I added another identical 16 GB module for a total of 32 GB. There is also an easy to access additional NVNe slot available in which I added a 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro. The 1 TB SSD that came with the system was Samsung part number MZVL21T0HCLR-00BL2. The CPU and the GPU each have their own fan and there are four heat pipes. The included 1 TB SSD is a decent performer, 6.9k/5.1k transfer speeds.

Initially I was concerned about the 350 Nit brightness specification, but it turns out it's plenty bright. Unless you're outdoors on a sunny day with the sun at your back, there's no issues. The top is constructed of aluminum, the bottom plastic but it has an overall very solid feel.

RGB lighting on the keyboard is customizable or can be turned off. I am currently nearing the end of a six night hospital stay for foot surgery, so it's been my right arm here, I've used it several hours a day and am overall very happy with it.

There is one configurable profile for GPU overclocking. One thing I'll say is during long gaming sessions under AC power (in my case Cyberpunk 2077), the fans do work hard keeping that 4070 cool but both CPU and GPU temps are good. No issues playing games at 1440p with quality settings at high. The only bloatware that was pre-installed was McAfee and linkedin, both easily removed.

Lastly, if you qualify under the EDU/First Responder/Military discount program, you can get an additional 5% discount even after stacking the coupon codes, at least I did. They use ID ME for verification at checkout.

Actually there is zero benefit to running 4070 mobile above 115 watts and almost no benefit to running above 100 watts. Even 65 watts gets you 85% of the maximum theoretical performance.

Man these Legion 5 Pro/Slim deals just keep coming. I got my Legion 5 Pro a few months back, and I absolutely LOVE it. These are great laptops that give you a lot of bang for your buck.

Seems pretty nice. 350 nits is a little low, but if that isn't an issue then yeah good deal.

Good deal but these are totally different products with different purposes. What you gain in gaming you lose in just about everything else
not necessarily different purposes though -- even considering a productivity / graphic design / CAD angle, this wins

what everything else would one lose in? mainly I imagine battery life

140 watts that can't take advantage of the 4070. Still a good deal though.

They are vastly different products though. Android and iPhone are both smart phones but I'm not recommending an iphone to an android user and vice-versa. If you want an iphone, buy an iphone. If you want a mac, buy a mac. People have their operating system of choice for reasons and you can't discount that. So I personally would never compare iphone to android and mac to window. If you're okay with both, I feel like you'd be in the minority. I've set up my workflow based on Windows and switching to another OS would be a tough ask.

Exactly my point. I don't understand the downvotes, but I'll be the bad guy this time.

You really should get help. Not sure who hurt you, but the guy is just stating it covers his needs compared to a macbook. This is not a personal attack out you 🙄

Yes, the Slim 16" can be, unfortunately the current line of 14" is soldered.
