Just a consideration if you don't intend to use it as a desktop replacement. Other than that it looks good.

That is essentially Vantage but uses much less resources.
The next thing to do is type "Startup Apps" in the search bar in windows 11.
Disable everything except the realtek audio driver and the windows security notifications.
Reboot..
Next update your geforce drivers (open geforce experience).
Next, install the xbox app and xbox accessories app if you are an xbox controller user and gamepass user.
Next, go into nvidia control panel and make sure in the settings that power management mode says "Maximum performance"
Next, make sure enable G-sync is selected for the laptop display in nvidia control panel.
Next, download steam, gog, and epic games and make sure to get your free weekly epic game (farming sim right now).
next, if you are gamepass user, download the new Hellblade 2 to test your system, its a next-gen game that looks insane on this laptop. Some games are crashing with RTX ray tracing enabled (Witcher 3 for example).
next, go ahead and type startup apps again and disable anything except the mentioned above..
Lastly, remember to user the FN-Q keyboard command often... if you are not gaming, make sure the power light is on blue...

Wow what a weird miss by Lenovo, especially on the "slim" line that is literally supposed to be the more portable gaming line. just... weird.

I have a variant of the Legion Slim 5 that does have an integrated GPU, and at this point I use it more often as a personal laptop to manage finances and book flights than I do to game. I wouldn't be able to do that for very long with this specific model.
Meanwhile my Legion 5 pro from 2021 or 22 will last 3-4 hours off battery because of the IGPU switch. And for me it's a laptop first, gaming computer second. But it's especially weird with the slim line as the only reason to want to save the 1~ lb and .2-3 inches is for portability, which is a lot lower value with terrible battery life.
