\"Lenovo<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As the world\u2019s most powerful 16-inch gaming laptops,\u00a0the Lenovo Legion 7i and 7 (16\u201d, 7) are engineered for those who demand the highest performance in their gametime. The laptops\u2019 sleek, stylish, and understated sports-tuned design features an improved hinge and I\/O dashboard.

The\u00a0Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard<\/strong>\u00a0is also improved with curved keys featuring travel that\u2019s deeper than the previous generation. New\u00a0WASD Force Sensor Technology<\/strong>\u00a0with optional swappable keys\u00a0lets players accelerate their in-game character as more force is applied to the keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Legion<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Underneath the laptops\u2019 sleek covers is sheer power. Now visually thinner-looking than the previous generation at as thin as 19mm (0.75 in), the Lenovo Legion 7i and 7 are engineering feats that pack up to the latest graphics, processors, and storage into a 2.5kg (5.5 lb) chassis. This mighty machine offers serious range too, with a battery of 99.99Whr \u2013 the world\u2019s largest battery on a 16-inch gaming laptop\u00a0\u2013 and up to 135Whr USB Type-C fast charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lenovo<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gamers can choose between three panel options at up-to-240Hz variable refresh rates (165Hz standard) for everyday use, smoother eSports gameplay where every frame counts, or cinematic visuals with amazing color accuracy. The new Lenovo Legion 7i and Legion 7 laptops also feature\u00a0Tobii Horizon software, which brings a more immersive experience for gamers, and\u00a0Tobii Aware, which uses smart sensor technology to help improve users\u2019 security, privacy, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engine 2.0<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This A.I. engine can predict fan curve, and balance GPU and CPU resource output in real time depending on each game to deliver its best performance. Its A.I. calibration can also intelligently boost the\u00a0Lenovo Legion Coldfront 4.0<\/strong>\u00a0thermal system to cool down the GPU and CPU, while the laptop\u2019s vapor chamber technology expands the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in a gaming laptop for desktop-level performance CPUs, with up to 115W of thermal capacity without throttling. The thermals also include 67 percent thinner fan blades from the previous generation for improved air flow, phase-change thermal compound coating for faster heat transfer, larger surface area and sub-keyboard intake vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The large 16-inch display also empowers gamers to enter new pixel-perfect worlds of brilliant color and shadow, with color calibration software support, high dynamic range, and up to DCI P3 color accuracy \u2013 \u00a0without straining their eyes with T\u00dcV Rheinland Gold Label certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From generation to generation, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 series have also expanded the active area ratio of its 16-inch WQXGA display from 86 percent to 93 percent with a 16:10 aspect ratio for even more immersive viewing. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 series are available in three panel options\u00a0at blazing up-to-240Hz variable refresh rates (165Hz standard) and optional Mini-LED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underneath the sleek exterior, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i and 7 are tuned by A.I. in the Lenovo Legion Coldfront 4.0 thermal system and Lenovo Legion A.I. Engine 2.0 to balance GPU and CPU resource output for better performance. The laptops also feature up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (up to 100W Boosted TGP) GPU or AMD Radeon RX 6800S mobile graphics, with DDR5 memory and Gen 4 PCIe SSD storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Legion<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Generational improvements to the thermal system include: a 29 percent increase in size; 31 percent more liquid crystal polymer fan blades that are also 40 percent thinner, while spinning 100rpm faster thanks to a dual fan system; an additional copper heat pipe dedicated just for the GPU VRAM; as well as a coating of phase-change thermal compound to boost heat sink effectiveness. Lenovo engineers further implemented a sub-key air intake system in the keyboard, with over 1,172 intake vents, where each key features 1.3mm soft-landing switches for faster, more accurate key strikes. Cumulatively, these design and engineering improvements combine to deliver fan noise of under 30 decibels while in Stealth Mode, which roughly matches the voice of a whisper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
