I just got the Slim 7i (1920x1200 model) and it seems great so far. I kind of like how Lenovo opted for a work/professional-looking laptop as opposed to a flashy gaming look such as the ROG, TUF, or Alienware laptops. This seems like a great laptop for those people like me who want to play games, record gameplay, and edit videos on the go without demanding "the best" performance (that is what your desktop is for right?).

[@user10u7]

I am considering it. How is the fan noise? I am afraid the laptop fan will go off in class. If I only use Chrome will make any noise?

[@Chris349]

@@user10u7 When not under a load, the laptop is silent. Web browsing, word documents, watching videos, etc. No noticeable noise there. I tried the Wither 3 (with the new update at highish settings) and it was pretty noisy. If it was a quiet classroom and the teacher was talking, this laptop would definitely be noticeable and annoying to anyone trying to listen. Also, keep in mind that the laptop was not under a full load (had the laptop on auto mode and was not trying to max anything out). I am sure the laptop would get louder and hotter if you really pushed it. But, that gives you a good idea of what video editing and other demanding applications might be like. Disclaimer - I loved the laptop, but ended up returning it for this reason. I wanted to edit videos at my slow office job but realized that this would make too much noise and potentially be distracting to co-workers.

I love the design... it looks much better than the 7 non-slim version, IMO. The screen size is perfect, the brightness is great, the 16:10 format is awesome.. With an i7 and a 3070ti (or equivalent) this is ideal for my use. An obvious deal breaker is the RAM-configuration. I'd appreciate more than 16gb.. 32gb would be perfect. Another problem is the lack of a displayport compatible usb-c port on the back, next to the power-, hdmi- and usb-A-inputs. If they keep the design (or make it look even cleaner.. fewer and smaller logos, etc.), add a displayport compatible usb-c port on the back and improve the RAM to 32gb, I'll buy it.

Can't wait for you to get your hands on the Legion 7 with the 6850M. It looks like a beast!

[@torpedospurs]

Last year's Legion Slim 7i was 1.9kg, putting it in direct competition with the G14, G15, M16 and Razer Blade 15 for thin gaming. This year's Legion Slim 7i is a huge improvement in many ways, but the weight has gone up to 2.3kg by Jarrod's measurement (it is listed as 2.2kg). That kinda defeats the purpose of a Slim, no?

[@formulaic78]

Yeah it does slightly. I bought one for going traveling for six months with, but I also ended up bringing a macbook. Now that I'm traveling around I wonder why I didn't just buy the full fat version at only 0.25kg more and leave the MacBook air at home! That said it is still reasonably portable but M16 definitely beats it in real portability. But it was considerably more expensive than what I paid for this .

[@doomscyte1087]

You can purchase Flow X16 or Zephyrus M16 if you don't mind to add up another $500+ to the cause. Or maybe a Razer Blade 15 instead? But then again, it defeats the purpose of thin, light & affordable yet strong performance gaming laptop no? With all that money, you might as well go for Legion 7i directly.

[@torpedospurs]

With a 100W 3060 the segment is not "strong performance", but should be "lightweight with decent performance". Last year's model fit, but this year's model is a bit too heavy. BTW in my location the Legion Slim 7 is comparable in price to the M16 fitted with the same 3060, and the latter even gives you 20W more while being 300g lighter. The G15 is cheaper still. Comparing pricing with the X16 is pointless since that machine is a 2-in-1 so you'll have to pay more. Razer Blades are hella expensive, I'll give you that.

[@TofaelTohin]

It does. Is not portable anymore. I sold mine & bought the Blade 14.

Please do more testing on the battery life, the most I could get out of this laptop was about 3 hours with regular use.

I’ve had this laptop but the smaller 71wh battery and 1920x1200 (switches between 165hz or 48hz) screen for about 3 weeks and I’m able to easily get at least 6 hours for productivity work. Quiet mode, iGPU only mode, 48hz refresh rate, battery saver mode on, screen at 70% brightness, keyboard lighting off, “USB always on” option set to off in Vantage software.

I'm about the same. It gets through a 2 hour movie pretty much. But that's at max or high brightness. I use advanced Optimus so the screen should be 60 and igpu only. So I just keep it plugged in most of the time. One thing I did buy was the 135W charger. Makes it more portable if taking it to coffee shop etc and can still plug it in. I bought it primarily for gaming while traveling, so portability was important to me, but battery less so cos I'm using it in my hotel rooms mostly for gaming and working.

@@Hoopladoopa Random Q, but how do you turn on iGPU only mode

[@Z020852]

Has Lenovo said anything about getting you the AMD Advantage Edition with the 6800S? I'd like to see how that fares against this one, not to mention it undercuts the G14 by a lot and is easier to use with a monitor at home depending on how you set it on the table (ie HDMI on the back). I'm thinking performance is comparable but AMD tends to get partners to use a vapor chamber? AFAIK only the Delta 15 with 6700M, and the Omen wtih 66x0M are the only ones that use heatpipes among the Advantage laptops.

[@ultimategohan1551]

People have already tested it and made youtube videos. The 6800s is performing similarly to a 130w 3060

[@olsjebo]

I tried out a Lenovo legion 7i slim Gen7 for about a week and I loved it. I initially bought the 3060 version which I was very happy with but realized that, as of right now on the U.S. website, there is a HIDDEN OPTION for a rtx 3070 that appears only when you select the extra 8gb sodimm ram (for 16gb total including the soldered ram) AND the WQXGA (2560 x 1600) screen. they do specify this is available but you access these options by choosing to “build your own system” which says is only “available with up to an rtx 3060.” Somewhat misleading.

[@AFKMeister]

I wonder if it'll run hotter but both are 100W so in theory better performance, same temps?

[@S.H.W]

It's problely not a good idea to choose 3070 version, with the same cooling(100watts on gpu), RTX3070 lose more than 30% of performance than full-power-version, which means it's actually only have 10% upgrate than RTX3060 version. It's not cost-effective with the same price than other gaming laptop in the same version.

I have said this before and I will say it again. The standard Legion is already very thin for a high performance laptop, meaning I cannot see the point of this Slim version for just a few mm less. I guess some people will buy it all the same for a very minor aesthetic bonus.

[@theompman]

Question for anyone. I'd like to buy this for content creation and for gaming and media. Will these colour gamuts be enough to do photo/video edits to some level of colour accuracy? A bit disappointed by the numbers at 14:50. Excellent review as always Jarrod! Thanks! I'd go for the G14 with similar specs and better colour accuracy but I'd like the bigger screen.

[@RedBeardedRabbit]

Disclaimer: I'm just an enthusiastic amateur Virtually all online content is by default in sRGB. Wider color gamuts are barely used in online content outside of HDR. Color management on Windows is pretty trash anyway since it's not handled well at the OS level, so individual apps like most web browsers will show over-saturated colors if your display is, say, 100% P3 but most content (again, not HDR) is mastered to the smaller but standard sRGB color space (some browsers claim to be color manged, but it's buggy and IME doesn't work). To get around this, professional desktop monitors have different "emulation" modes that make the monitor itself limit to a specific color space. On laptops, this would have to be done in software and I'm not sure Lenovo does it - or if they do it well. For example, Dell has this option in PremierColor, but using it makes gradients horrible so it's unusable. So you're stuck with over-saturated content. TL;DR on Windows, 100% sRGB and no more is a blessing in disguise for most people.

[@emjr2106]

It's fine for casual editing but for professional photo/video edits you should get a screen that offered 100% AdobeRGB.

[@penkatadrums]

According to Lenovo's website regarding the ports on the back (the 3 USBs), only the one next to the HDMI port is Gen 2, the other 2 are Gen 1.

Hi Jarrod, I read that with ddr5 the memory controller is on the ram stick and that 1 stick actually also runs dual channel. Seems plausible, but I haven't found a definitive answer from someone reputable. AIso, if this is correct, does this mean that miss-matched ddr5 stick sizes will run dual channel for all the memory? Specifically, for a laptop such as this one with 8gb soldered to the motherboard, if I the removable 8gb is replaced with 16 gb, does it run 24gb in dual channel or still 16gb?

Great video! Question: no dGpu output via the TB4 port(s)?

[@eng.m7sn364]

Plz, can I replace the tow 8g ram with another 16g×2 to be 32g ?!

[@walker1054]

1:20 "they only measure at the thinnest point but I didn't find it that much thicker". Wow really?? Because the thickness you list a few seconds before say it's 17mm thick and then as you say that you're showing it being measured at 26mm. That's a hugeee difference, thats MORE than 50% thicker! More than a whole extra half a laptop in thickness. Am I reading this wrong because hows that not much thicker? I've just been through several reviews and they all say it's only 17mm thick too, plus all the marketing material, but your videos the first showing it's 26mm thick and even then it's glossed over.

[@JarrodsTech]

The reason it's so much thicker is that the measurement also includes the rubber foot. Laptops usually aren't measured including them, so the actual thickness isn't 26mm

[@seitostockman]

The screens look way better on newer models. My 2020 legion 5 that I got 16 months ago has screen issues already with image permanence/glitches in the bottom couple inches of the screen. I had to order a replacement because it has gotten too annoying to frequently guess where the cursor is

[@druanubis7194]

Wish on the Legion series they would get rid of the number pad and instead put separate FN keys.

[@Romash.]

Jarod i bought tge exact model and is it okah in conservation mode that battery don't last that long after disconnecting. Becauee i always keep conv. Mode from the fay i bought and i notice when i unplug battery goes from 80-70 within 5 min.

[@arta1575]

Can you also review Legion 5 (6800, 3070ti)? Thanks

[@elliekim6666]

Hot air also goes out in the sides and from what i can tell more out on the sides

[@PrajjwalkumarDas]

Hey jarrod can we have a comparison of this with the rog flow x16? Both of them seem to be targetted to the same audience - gaming laptops under 2kg

[@spike378]

Why on Intel it sucks running on battery?

[@imglidinhere]

The trend of soldering half the memory to the motherboard in these tiers of laptops needs to die out FAST. I get doing it to an XPS, Zenbook, etc, but gaming laptops should not be limited by such constraints. Imagine buying this machine and realizing that in 2-3 years, even if the 3060 is enough for gaming, the 16GB memory isn't, and you're held back by that alone. It truly sucks. :/

[@Lord_dun]

Cheers👌🏼 Will you be reviewing the gen 8?

[@JarrodsTech]

Yes! I hopefully should have one soon.

[@PhantasyZX]

Can I ask something about PD charging? I have a 55 watts adapter which is use to charge my phone, I plugged it to my MSI GS66 but on my battery icon in the system tray shows on battery. Should I get a higher 65w above or does it support PD charging?

[@vmafarah9473]

Im highly sceptical about the charger wattage, normally laptops voltage regulators get hot when plugged lower wattage and may May damage. Are there any experts who know this better?

[@marizsky]

which is better as of today, legion slim 7i 2022 or the new 2023?

[@ervinnnnnnnn]

Ofc 2023 will be better than 2022, it is thinner and lighter

[@tolagan]

Jarrod i have watched every video of yours to make an infromed purchase but its a bit overwhleming. Can you please do a overview video of the best gaming laptops in the $2000-$2500 range for the upcoming balck friday sales? or is there any way i can pick your brain between the Asus m16 / Scar, Lenovo 5/7, MSI raiders?

[@Romash.]

Now i have already bought the legion slI'm 7i and still wstching this😅

[@eng.m7sn364]

Plz, can I replace the tow 8g ram with another 16g×2 to be 32 ?!

[@abhaygaming]

There's no 99Whr battery option anymore but only a 71Whr. His review unit is definitely not a 71 Whr battery as it says 15.52V and 6250 mAh which is about 97Whr. This really sucks and I was about to buy it 😔.

[@darthmortem585]

I just got the 99.9wh variant wdym

[@abhaygaming]

@@darthmortem585 Which country?

[@darthmortem585]

@@abhaygaming India

[@abhaygaming]

@@darthmortem585 I got the 12700h + 3070 + Quad HD combo. I think certain regions get the 99Whr. In US it's only 71 Whr which is a bit low. I will see how long the battery lasts once it arrives.

[@darthmortem585]

@@abhaygaming that's great! i got the lower end variant (12500h+3060) with qhd screen and 99.9wh, since im not really gonna be gaming that much

[@Romash.]

Jarrod, i also have the exact same model when i tried to check battery it went from 80%-71% so fast even if i kept it in quiet mode, 25%brightness, optimuson, batterysaveron, 60hz , and fom the day i bought it, i haven't charged it fully i have kept i n conservation mode which only charges upto 80% .Is it due to conservation mode?. i have opeeated my laptop in between 70-80 from the day i bought?

[@mashfiqhossainalvi4935]

bro please review acer predator triton 300 se 2022 rtx 3070 ti variant as it can be a cheaper and also better alternative to gs 66 stealth and razer blade 15

[@johnmeyer5384]

Please can you help me out here wat would you say is a better buy g16 dell with 12 gen 3070ti or 15 x r2 11 gen 3070 special running on dell now

[@callumbenson1983]

Could you also do review on the non-slim legion 7 AMD advantage model with rx6850m xt and maybe the Alienware m17 r5 with the same specs as well?

[@alanharperchiropractor]

Hopefully there will be still some fullhd Legion slim laptops in 2022. In my opinion, the QHD is just a waste on so small screen, I compared it personally, there is only tiny difference but battery life and performance is worse when using native QHD. Of course you can switch to FullHD, but that seemed to be just too unclear for me, ugly. And videos seemed to be laggy on QHD or on FullHD on QHD panel.

[@formulaic78]

It's actually a pretty good qhd performer in games with DLSS or FSR. Playing far cry atm with high settings at QHD+ with FSR Quality and getting around 80fps. Same with spiderman, although when you add ray tracing need to drop down to 1200p. I can't say I notice that it looks bad at 1200p though; worse than QHD of course, but I thought that was just the drop in resolution.

[@bfish9700]

Typical lenovo of late, come out with a great looking model, release it SO LATE you may as well wait for next gen.

[@odiljondekhkonov3357]

Is it worth to buy?

[@ThienTran-fw7ft]

can this laptop using for 5-6years? because I’m still a student

[@JarrodsTech]

If you're talking about gaming pretty much no laptop last that time horizon. At least in terms of running game as well. All the laptop still work for basic tasks. Yeah probably

[@Mix3dbyMark]

Can I buy one of your laptops? like after you've reviewed it...? Is that possible?

[@JarrodsTech]

Most of them are review units that go back to the brands after a few weeks.
