Like other laptops, gaming laptops are getting thinner and thinner each year. The latest gaming laptop from Lenovo, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i, is one of the thinnest at only 18mm thick — and it comes with an RTX graphics option.
Slim and light (starting at just 1.8kg/3.96 lbs) as far as gaming laptops are concerned, the Legion Slim 7i is the world’s lightest RTX-enabled 15″ gaming laptop. With up to 144Hz refresh rate options available and 100% Adobe RGB or sRGB colour accuracy, this gaming laptop also supports Dolby Vision.
The new Lenovo Legion Slim 7i 15-inch gaming laptop also features the company’s TrueStrike keyboard with soft-landing switches that have a low 1.3mm of key travel. According to Lenovo, this offers a more robust input experience for gamers.
Under the hood, gamers can configure the system with up to 10th Generation Intel Core i9-10980HK processors, up to 32GB of 3200MHz DDR4 memory, up to 2TB NVMe SSD drives, and up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 2060 with Max-Q Design graphics cards.
