Lenovo Legion Slim 7i: Best Priced 16” Gaming Laptop?

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7i might be the best thin 16" gaming laptop because of the design and power it delivers at a reasonable price. Check current pricing and buy here: howl.me/clixySHJlEM
My Lenovo Legion Slim 7i unboxing and review comes at a time where Meteor Lake Laptops are about to drop but this means great deals on the older laptops. When it comes to gaming and everyday tasks it all depends on what you actually need. This laptop will run anything you need it to plus for a 16" laptop it is thin and relatively light to take with you in a backpack. What do you think is this your next laptop?

Hi! Some reviewers are complaining about frame jittering while gaming. Did u faced any of that? Gonna buy one but pretty confused too. If I get this slim 7i or the pro 5i

[@leirnj]

Have you tried playing while using a legion 140w type c charger?

[@Sswineamer69]

How would this pair with a GP950-B monitor from LG?

[@richi2870]

Good review, looks like a rly nice laptop. But i am waiting for Snapdragon X Elite 👍🙃

[@dannydman5345]

This thing is beautiful. But! I always questioned, will the exhaust in front of the screen affects the screen in the short term or long term for hardcore gaming and heat reaching 90%?

[@SCa5100]

Pretty sure those are intakes

[@dannydman5345]

@@SCa5100 Good thing if it's intake. Cos if it's outtake, it has the potential to damage the screen

Have a blessed new year 👍

I got the M3 Max MacBook on a holiday deal from Best Buy, but I was sooo close to going for the Legion Slim 7i. I had last year’s model and was impressed by the power! If you don’t have the budget for a MacBook, the Slim 7i is a great choice for content creation 🙌🏾

[@dannywinget]

Both great Laptops. Congrats!

[@thejasrs4242]

Slim 7i or rog strix g16 (i9) which one is overall better? Plz reply..

[@dannywinget]

Both so good. Pick the one you like the looks of more 🤣

[@Shabbir-A.]

I heard AMD Ryzen are less heat producing processors. Is it a good idea to buy AMD based legion instead on Intel?

[@frederickmiller5492]

the AMD versions are no longer available on the US Lenovo site. :(

[@Shabbir-A.]

@@frederickmiller5492 Hi Fred: we are in Canada and I see couple of those in Canadian site.

[@Joosseepph13]

Is this good for music production? How loud do the fans get?

[@dannywinget]

At full performance the fans do get pretty loud. Depends on how many tracks you have going etc and if the performance under lower profiles work for you.

[@Joosseepph13]

Dang, can you recommend me a good mid/high range laptop around 700-800$?

[@Joosseepph13]

You can send me a link if you have one

[@OT4Tech]

I love my 9i this looks like it would pair great with it since it’s more travel friendly

[@dannywinget]

Yeah that 9i is a beast but this one is priced so well and is a little slimmer for sure.

[@mudzungg]

unfortunately, in some region there is no option for per key RGB keyboard :(

[@dannywinget]

Really? WOW that’s weird

[@androidstud]

I've been thinking about getting my self a Windows PC. I have the m1 MacBook Pro but I keep that in my office... I need something I can take with me

[@CAT._.6]

Suggest me a laptop similar to the slim 7i but cheaper

[@Shabbir-A.]

How do you test durability for these machines? please advise

[@dannywinget]

Only real way is to do a long term follow up but this build quality is very nice on this laptop.

[@Shabbir-A.]

@@dannywinget Hi Danny: thanks for your nice answer. I am planning to buy a Lenovo laptop for one of my clients and I am watching these reviews to decide.

Will a AMD version come out? Thats alot more worth it. Intel isnt worth anything.

[@mnazas2299]

What are you talking about this laptop cannot go to a 4090 max is 4070

[@dannywinget]

I am looking at Lenovos website right now! You can configure with 4090 🧐

[@Christian-ir6qv]

@@dannywinget That is for the Legion 7i, not the Legion Slim 7i.

@@dannywingetthats the lenovo legion pro 7i not the slim 7i. Hope that helps 😺

[@joelconolly5574]

Not gonna be that conspiracies but when I see reviews at the end of the years especially when it's Lenovo, feels like they are specifically targeting to promote and sell this laptop by the end of year just before announcing newer versions in a fortnight or two. I've noticed this for a while now.

[@dannywinget]

I feel that. The higher performance Meteor Lake laptops are coming soon but of course price wise they will be higher. The performance in this laptop is so good I think it’s worth the jump but of course you can always wait until CES to see what’s coming to make a decision.

[@joelconolly5574]

@@dannywinget probably not as massive as past years. Tho unsure for the AMD ones. I guess we'll wait for those to come out and the old model to get a discounts. It's probably better to go last gen this time around.

[@santhoshs9810]

compare it with m3 max chipset

[@dannywinget]

Dang you think that would be fair? Maybe the Lenovo Legion 9 would be a better comparison on that one but if you want to see it I can do it

Please DON'T BUY this Legion Slim 7i laptop. You're limited to Windows 11 OS only. Lenovo provides drivers only for this OS version. You can't install any other Operating Systems on this machine. It has provisions only for two RAM slots and two SSD slots. I bought one by my wrong decision. Now I regret. Please don't buy this Legion SIim 7i 16IRH8.

[@ucduynguyen4240]

Can I install Linux on this laptop ?

[@indra607]

I'm about to buy. Can I install Linux VM?
