Great that they are putting so much time and effort into their machines, I'm happy to see Lenovo doing what they do... But the price! Here in Denmark in terms of price it starts at about 1.7 modern gaming spec desktop computers, and the top of the line bells and whistles version costs 2.5 gaming desktop computers.

I'm glad they kept the fingerprint reader and glass trackpad, since those were removed from the regular Legion Pro 7 models this year (presumably to reduce costs from RTX 40 series and maybe provide a higher-tier Legion 9 model later). Unfortunately where I am in the US we won't be getting the 100% DCI-P3 display model in this video, which is a real shame because none of the other displays are as competitive with what's on offer from the likes of Asus ROG right now. I'm also definitely looking forward to the AMD version; hopefully you guys can get your hands on one of those down the line.

I think in general laptop manufacturers are straying away from the "gamer" aesthetic, because many customers generally don't buy gaming laptops *only* for gaming but also for school/work/productivity. College students or employees don't want to have to carry around a flashy RGB "gamer" machine to class or to a meeting, they want something more stealthy that doesn't make them look unprofessional.

I'm a big fan of the Lenovo Legion series and especially the Slim 7 models. I have the Slim 7 Gen 6 (IIRC) with a 5800h, RTX3060, 500gb NVME and 1440p 165hz IPS - I upgraded to 24gb of 3200 RAM and added a 1tb NVME, and frankly it's been great, with very few complaints. Battery life could still be better - one day we'll get something like this machine that can stretch out 10-12 hours of battery, and it would be nice to have more definitive control over CPU clocks/TDP and whether to use the iGPU or dGPU, in Lenovo software. But the screen and build quality and power stuffed into a tiny chassis are unmatched at the prices these drop to eventually.

I have the 7th generation model of this laptop, and I must say it's the best one I've ever owned due to its very good build quality. I opted for the i7 and 3060 variant, and even after a year of use, it still runs as smoothly and efficiently as the day I first opened it. The thing that I liked most is that unlike other gaming laptops, it doesn't have any unnecessary and cringy RGB lighting on the exterior. One major flaw of this laptop is its loud fans, which can become quite noisy even on the balance settings, let alone on the highest fan setting, making it inconvenient to use in quiet environments.

Lenovo has a tendency to hide RAM slots under the keyboard on the opposite side of the mainboard. Not sure if this is the case here, but it could explain the discrepancy of the advertised 2 slots but you finding only one
@ghomerhust Жыл бұрын
i have 2 older thinkpads that do that. one has a single slot on either side. i have an older dell workstation laptop that also does that. 2 slots per side
@iz723 Жыл бұрын
No it only has one replaceable slot, and other one is soldered RAM.

KZfaq deleted my comment because I linked psref...Slim 7 Gen 8 has 1 RAM soldered and 1 SO-DIMM slot available... per psref - "One memory soldered to systemboard, one DDR5 SO-DIMM slot, dual-channel capable"

Crazy the whole laptop is just cooling and battery yet somehow all still packed in it

Any shot you can run some stress tests & thermals? That's what I'm really interested in. I'm curious to know why they didn't go with liquid metal on the cpu considering how slim this CPU is, and also because they put it on their Pro 7i CPU. I would've bought this laptop in a heartbeat if it had the liquid metal on it. But thin laptops still make me quite leery regarding potential thermal issues.

I do often see that 'switching the panel directly to the dGPU' on laptops that can do it, results in missing functionality (like HDR or most importantly, variable refreshrate). On a machine with a rtx3050ti 35watt (lowest of the 3000 series basically) I see none to very little performance difference, but having VRR between 48 and 120 makes all the difference in how it feels!. (And my laptop is wired in such a way that one of the USB-C ports is always connected to the dGPU, and the other always to the onboard graphics. If you know this, it helps when you connected an external display directly to the dGPU). But for the laptop panel itself, I always prefer to let it go through the intel-xe graphics. It makes all the difference for battery life if you don't game (Without having to restart) and as I said, VRR makes all the difference if it doesn't work on your dGPU (it often does not because of the LVDS connector I guess).

Can you start giving the weight with inclusion of the power adapter so people can understand what they need to lug around?

my 2020 L5 with 2060 also takes 230w. it's interesting that the power brick is the same rating whilst the gpu is a 4070 (i would hope a better performer).

16:10 makes you see less in the games for the same diagonal, due to letterboxing for games that have a fixed aspect ratio. Same for multimedia like movies or TV series. I just love how some tech guys from 10 years ago that glorified move from 16:10 to 16:9 are now glorifying the opposite (not comenting specifically for this video and presenter).

So it doesn't have two DIMM slots? Lenovo likes to put one on the underside of mobo and one on top (under the keyboard). Thanks for the review. Pricey but it looks like a good alternative to the insanely expensive T16p. This Legion looks much better than the previous ones. They were SO thick. I love the numpad but no pointing nub? C'mon Leneovo!

Nice design, though I would prefer a centre keyboard with upwards facing speakers. Unfortunate that the power consumption/battery life is so poor. Lenovo has been struggling to make their laptops run efficiently for years, at least since 2018 when I still used thinkpads
