You are an exceptional reviewer. Being able to calmly, intelligently answer all the findings of the laptop. This includes feature, pros, cons, and advices when buying the laptop. Please keep up the great effort. I believe if you carry on with this consistency than one day you will be able to reach greatness as a product reviewer. Also, you gave advices on how to sustain a better experience on whilst using the laptop. Again, all the additional suggestions are really valuable and your thoughts are highly valued.
Hey, I really liked it that you reviewed the laptop thoroughly and show us by opening it too. When you gotta drop 2 grands, then the laptop better be worth it and you just helped me knowing exactly if this was good or not. Tbh I liked it ! Just going to wait for the new amd version though. Also, just wished there were time stamps too :p
this is nice review. fullsize numpad is such an imp thing for mywork profile. hate when 16inch laptops dont include numpad which is more aesthetically pleasing and not required by a lot of people so fully understand their perspective. display on lenovo is good in general. not looking to buy a laptop but might require a new one in a few months as the case with lenovo they drop prices in few months hope this would drop too and be more in budget. great work bud. wish you the bet.
@@andysilvers9532 that is a great price. how is heat and typing experience if you use if for long hours not gaming in general day to day use? thw work laptop i got is hp it gets hot.
@@anurag.tensordev4032 It's not as good as the keyboard on the Legion Pro 5i but it's fine. Heat is fairly low and cools down FAST. Yeah my HP ZBook got hot too despite the Vapor chamber and dual fans.
thank you for the input. will take a demo before finaliing the purchase. keyboard and typing is of extreme importance so options become quite limited. however no rush is there so upcoming amd laptops also offer good value for money
Sir I have two questions:- i have purchased this with rtx3050ti.if i have two ram both 8gb total 16gb. slot one is solded ram is rx16 and other is changeable (but its allso rx16). so if i remove other and put rx8 . of same dd5 4800mah. will it work? allso speed will incresse? is it a good idea? Allso wanted to know that is it 8bit display or 10bit. Because mine is 8bit...!!! Plz do reply
The 2023 slim 7 variant also has models with the ryzen 9 7940hs which is a way more efficient chip and should in theory get good battery life. But it starts at $1700 for the minimum spec😭😭 and though the 2023 slim 5 is way cheaper, the models so far weigh 5.3 lbs

Hi! Do you know if the version with the 13th gen CPU has retained the empty M.2 slot for an extra SSD? I can't seem to find a teardown of that particular model online. Thanks!
Yes. You should test lighter overclocks for stability before doing a larger one. Also if the device crashes, just go into Vantage and turn off the overclock.
Yes. I forgot those. The keyboard is a bit softer than I'd like as compared to the Legion Pro 7, but it's ok. The trackpad is a bit small, but it works well.
Lenovo has done a great job with displays these days and expect the contract ratio to be over 1000:1. With that said, it'll likely be darker than the Apple display though I've seen the MacBook in person and it's not that incredible. It visually looks like about 550 nits or so.
@@andysilvers9532 why should it be better? Cinebench is the worst benchmark, the M2max is the fastest mobile chip on the market excluding the 7945hx. I need a laptop for windows x86 development and I can't decide whether I should go for the yoga pro 9i full spec or the upcoming 7940hs legion Slim7. I guess the Slim7 is more dense and Premium built. Zen4 should make it mostly silent
@@PKperformanceEU how is it the fastest hahaha, sure software does matter a lot, and apple only needs to worry about optimizing very few chips compared to windows so might feel faster, but really doubt the chip itself is faster

@@kikukarun I plan to do that but right the team is just me so I gotta hit the ground running with what I can. Thx.

Yes, AMD 7000 Series really swings back. I considered the Slim 5 but I prefer all metal construction.
@@andysilvers9532 may i ask how long do you think the slim 5i model last for battery in casual usage like yourube web browsing etc?
With the display at 60hz and the brightness at 50%, you'll probably get 6-7 hours. But use the Vantage software to set power to quiet.
where is slim 7 amd version? where can i buy it?
@@andysilvers9532 plz guide me where to buy the amd version of slim 7 gen 8

It should work but it'll run at the slower speed. But the difference should be imperceptible. Mine in 10-bit in HDR mode.
@@andysilvers9532 thank-you for replying but please please can you fact check in future about RX8 ram and let me know! If you remember!
Hi! Do you know if the version with the 13th gen CPU has retained the empty M.2 slot for an extra SSD? I can't seem to find a teardown of that particular model online. Thanks!
Yes. Lenovo confirmed (in a weird way) that it does two M.2 slots.
Nice review Andy 😊
Thanks.
I'm confused, your browser scroll through shows the 5i, yet you seem to be reviewing the 7i..
Yeah the Slim 7i Gen 7 was finally removed around the time I posted my video. However, the gen 8 has the same body design and ports.
🔥
Lovely
Me or the laptop?
@@andysilvers9532 your review and books via Amazon you are talented
Guess this is the old one
Sorta. It's the 12th gen refresh and the 13th gen is not yet available
Why the review is about the slim 7 and at 2:45 you scrolling through the 5i?
Great question. By the time I edited my review, Lenovo had removed the Slim 7i from their website (not including the G8 version).
Can i consider it for heavy games ,AAA titles for long hour gaming??
Yes, but not with the 3050ti, you'll want at least 3070 if not 4070. Thx
how's the battery?
At 60 Hz, its about 5.5-6 hours. At 165 Hz, it's worse due to CPU pulling more power. Then again, I like my screen bright, so results may vary.
I know u don’t but how do u play games
With my laptop.
Is it risky to use the Overclock parameters and modify the power ?
Yes. You should test lighter overclocks for stability before doing a larger one. Also if the device crashes, just go into Vantage and turn off the overclock.
Trackpad and typing experience
Yes. I forgot those. The keyboard is a bit softer than I'd like as compared to the Legion Pro 7, but it's ok. The trackpad is a bit small, but it works well.
Moye moyee
Привет из России🇷🇺 хороший обзор 👍
Thank you. I was actually born in Russia fyi.
@@andysilvers9532 удачи в дальнейших обзорах . Земляк :) русский язык знаешь ?
нет. Sorry.
Greetings from Russia! Very good review
I'm from Russia too so thanks.
This is a new review but the old model... Let's see the 2023 version
Yes, the new model has the same chassis just a newer GPU and CPU. For budget conscious people the g7 is great.
How is the 3.2k res display? Am i going to be disappointed by its contrast ratio coming from a apple. XDR macbook?
Lenovo has done a great job with displays these days and expect the contract ratio to be over 1000:1. With that said, it'll likely be darker than the Apple display though I've seen the MacBook in person and it's not that incredible. It visually looks like about 550 nits or so.
@@andysilvers9532 i have a MacBook M2max and it's very impressive.
Slim 7 Gen 8 is said to have 1300contrast when choosing the 3.2k display
Yes the performance of the Lenovo should be better but it'll definitely consume more power
@@andysilvers9532 why should it be better? Cinebench is the worst benchmark, the M2max is the fastest mobile chip on the market excluding the 7945hx. I need a laptop for windows x86 development and I can't decide whether I should go for the yoga pro 9i full spec or the upcoming 7940hs legion Slim7.
