Hi
Ever wanted a fierce gaming laptop
but slimmer design to make the best of both worlds?
Legion Slim 7
Legion’s lightest gaming laptop,
is just what you need now.
Engineered with AMD 5000 series mobile processing
along with RTX 3060 graphics,
Legion Slim 7 is the perfect combo
with easy mobility and high-performance gaming experience!
Before we dig even deeper, let’s first check out the specs.
Now it‘s my pleasure to welcome our Legion 7 series
Product manager Alex
to introduce more about Legion Slim 7.
Hi, I am Alex ,
product manager for both Legion 7 and Legion Slim 7 series.
When it comes to gaming,
I know our gamers have always had to struggle
when it came to choosing a product
that was both powerful and portable.
So every day my team has worked hard
to solve this age-old issue.
Our solution?
The Legion 7 and it’s little brother, the Legion Slim 7.
Perfect for my work and gaming schedule,
the Legion Slim 7 is my personal pick as my daily driver.
the Legion Slim 7 comes in a thin and light design
with the body as thin as 15.9mm while weighing only 1.95kg.
We achieved this my combining aluminum and magnesium
on parts of the chassis to make it light while
maintaining a lot of power.
Speaking of power,
we made no compromises on this device,
packing it with some of the highest performing
parts on a portable pc.
I personally use mine with an AMD Ryzen R7-5800H
combined with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
which is a perfect processing pair for my
intensive work tasks and games
As we can see,
the A cover continues the last gen’s design,
the magnesium and aluminum blended metals
gives great texture
and sturdiness while keeping the device shockingly light,
on the top left corner
you can see the minimal Legion logo with our “Y”
heritage logo illuminated in white,
all easily opened up to 180 degrees with just one hand
On the B cover you see a clean design,
minimal bezels showcasing a breathtaking
15.6” IPS Anti-glare QHD display
with over 86% screen-to-body ratio.
On the screen top,
we have a camera eshutter for private protection,
which you can disable via the kill switch
on the side of the device.
The Legion Slim 7 display is packed with
high end features, such asDolby Vision,
and upgraded refresh rate from 144Hz to 165Hz,
3 ms response time, 300 nit plus 100% sRGB,
G-Sync and FreeSync Premium anti-tearing tech,
as a whole it provides you a totally
vibrant and smooth vision experience.
But if you have higher demand for the display,
you can get it customized with 4K 60Hz Adobe RGB 500 nits.
Now let’s move to the C cover.
the power button in the center,
preserving our users’ valuable touch ID, with one press,
you can boot up and unlock the laptop simultaneously.
Around the power button, it’s got circle lighting effects.
These holes on the left and right aren’t just for show,
they complement those thermal controls,
by acting as intake vents
that help increase airflow by over 15% gen to gen.
The Legion Slim 7 True Strike keyboard delivers
1.3mm key travel
with N-key rollover design,
gives good feedback when typing and gaming.
We also have kept a full-sized number pad and large arrow key.
And it offers two level white backlight adjustments,
you can turn it on or off by switching Fn+space keys.
If you take a look at the palm rest,
you will spot a larger touchpad that is super responsive
and precise thanks to Window Precision Drivers.
The Legion Slim 7’s D cover design seems simple,
but it actually takes a lot of effort.
10,400 aerospace -level drill holes greatly increase
the aperture ratio,greatly increase the aperture ratio,
meaning 30% more cool air intake.
We call this our “zero-bump hinge”
which reduces the overall height of the device,
making it fit into your backpack easier than ever before.
For the I/O, on the left,
you can see a 3.5mm 2-in-1 audio port and SD card reader,
a must for photographers.
No need to buy a docking station
to connect to the card reader anymore.
On the right side,
two Type-C 10Gbps USB3.2 Gen 2 full-speed ports on board,
PD charge up to 100W.
Now you can recharge your batteries at any time,
losing half of the carrying weight instantly.
Other ports are packed behind,
two USB-A, and a square power port.
The main reason for putting it on the back side is
that the cable can be arranged in the back,
so that users can enjoy clean cable management when docked ,
further keeping mouse and other
peripheral cables neatly tucked away.
One additional feature is that each port icon is illuminated,
to make it easier for users to find and connect.
Now let’s check out the overall performance.
What I have here now is AMD R7 5800H processor,
around 65W power release, RTX3060 discrete graphics,
100W power release,
and it supports dynamic boost 2.0 and graphics overclocking.
Dual Direct GFX 2.0 allows it to switch
the connection mode without restarting.
As for the cooling system,
Legion Slim 7 adopts the most powerful
Cold Front 3.0 thermal solutions,
which increases airflow by up to 18%.
This ensures the CPU and GPU work
permanently below their maximum temperature threshold,
up to 125W power release. And to tackle the noise,
we have also upgraded the noise optimization design
and intelligent temperature controlling system,
offering you high performance and
smooth game play experience.
Thanks for Alex. Now let’s move to the performance test.
As can be seen from the Cinebench R15 and R20 test,
We took a run on R7 5800H
with power-on in performance mode.
3DMark benchmarking test,
focusing on graphics performance,
later also added CPU onboard.
Time Spy scored 8343, Fire Strike hit 18191.

During the game play, there’s no stuttering, flickering.
Productivity test, for Photoshop benchmarks
No pressure measuring graphics
