Legion Slim 7i
To give you the freedom to take your device wherever you need, we’re introducing the world’s lightest GeForce RTX gaming laptop. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7i is available in a compact 15-inch size. It is equipped with up to 10th Gen Intel Core i9 HK-series mobile processor. It also has up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with Max-Q Design GPU for real-time ray tracing.
Lenovo engineers also has worked closely with NVIDIA on Max-Q-configured laptops to develop new features that increase both performance and power optimization. An example is the Advanced Optimus technology that lets you manage system graphics by intuitively switching back and forth from integrated and discrete graphics.
Less bulk at only 17.9 mm slim and weighing just 1.86 kg, means more mobility. A thin gaming laptop needs optimized thermal performance. And this is done with the smarter airflow solutions of Lenovo Legion Coldfront 2.0. The redesigned air intake system is 31 percent larger on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i to better manage any heat dissipated during heavy gameplay with up to 115 percent more airflow going to the CPU and GPU than in previous generations.
