Ratings by Category

Keyboard Quality:
4.6
The Keyboard Quality score is based on the PerfectRec experts’ assessment of tactile feedback, typing comfort, keyboard reliability and typing noise.
Engineering & Design:
4.5
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is excellent for engineering and design due to its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and AMD GPU, which allow for efficient multitasking and handling of intensive engineering applications, complemented by high-quality screen resolution and color accuracy ideal for design work. While it excels in performance and screen quality, its portability is somewhat balanced by its larger screen and solid build, and it offers a very good keyboard, but users should be aware of the balance between these features and its weight and size when on the go.
General Use Screen Quality:
4.5
The general use screen score is based on the screen technology, contrast ratio, resolution, brightness, color gamut and color accuracy. This score does not take into account specialized display features for specific use cases, such as high refresh rate for gaming.
General Use:
4.4
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" offers a powerful CPU and ample RAM making it quick and responsive for a variety of tasks, while its high screen quality enhances visual experience for general usage. Its lightweight design and decent battery life support portability and unplugged use, which are essential for everyday carry and use.

Heat management, storage, keyboard and speaker quality are also incorporated, with fan noise rounding out this score.
Gaming & AI:
4.3

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
