Lenovo’s new Legion Slim 7i is a lightweight, ray tracing-enabled gaming laptop
The words “slim” and “lightweight” usually don’t apply to gaming laptops, but Lenovo is trying it out with the new Legion Slim 7i. At 3.9 pounds and 18mm thick, Lenovo says it’s the lightest 15.6-inch model available that can be configured with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics chip. This machine will release in time for the holidays starting at $1,329.
The Legion Slim 7i can be configured with up to an Intel Core i9-10980HK processor, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of NVMe M.2 storage. Of course, choosing those top specs will cost far more than the starting price of $1,329, but Lenovo hasn’t shared pricing for the most decked-out configuration. Getting this computer with its baseline gets you the Intel Core i5-10300H, Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Ti, and 8GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 2,933MHz (the high-end options boost the speed to 3,200MHz).
Due to Lenovo’s emphasis on a thin design, the Slim 7i maxes out at Nvidia’s RTX 2060 Max-Q due to design constraints. However, no matter which configuration you buy, its Thunderbolt 3 ports will let you connect to an eGPU enclosure for boosted frame rates.
