Lenovo Legion Slim 7i / S7 (16″ Intel, Gen 8) review – surprisingly powerful thin gaming laptop
Lenovo is on a charge with their Slim lineup of gaming devices. We already have a review of the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i Gen 8 (16″ Intel, 2023) which is a surprisingly good not-so-thick gaming laptop with just one con – the GPU TGP is on the low side.
Now, it’s time to test the bigger sibling – the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i (16″ Intel, Gen 8). This is a powerful gaming notebook with a profile under 20 mm and the hardware that is fitted under the hood looks mouthwatering. The laptop can be equipped with powerful Raptor Lake-H CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 4000 GPUs with high TGP values. Yep, once again, this sounds like a serious challenge for the cooling so we are very impatient to see the processor clocks under heavy load.
The 16-inch display variants are corresponding to the high expectations of the laptop – two 1600p models and one 3.2K unit. All panels are G-Sync certified. Further in the review, we’ll check what is the actual pixel response time of our display which is a crucial characteristic of a gaming notebook.
Specs-wise, the machine looks like a seriously powerful device full of extras. Still, the manufacturer has made a device with a thin profile (for a gaming notebook) and we want to check how this will affect the overall performance.
