The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is a premium choice for performance, suited for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks with better graphics capabilities. However, it is more expensive, slightly heavier, and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is more affordable, lighter, and offers longer battery usage, making it a good fit for general use and portability. The Yoga 6's touch screen also provides versatility for on-the-go use, although it might not handle demanding tasks as efficiently as the Legion Slim 7. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 stands out for general use with a more powerful CPU and dedicated graphics card, making it well-suited for more demanding tasks, but its larger screen and heavier weight impact its portability compared to the lighter Lenovo Yoga 6, which also offers longer battery life and a 2-in-1 convertible design that provides added versatility for everyday tasks.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.

Its engineering-focused attributes include wide color gamuts, ensuring that colors are vibrant and true-to-life for tasks like photo editing and CAD work. However, its lower refresh rate means it's less suitable for 3D gaming, where a higher refresh rate can provide smoother motion and a more immersive experience.

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."

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
