Reviews for the Lenovo Legion S7 16ARHA7

89.3% No Intel or Nvidia required: Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16ARHA7 Gen 7 laptop review | Notebookcheck
Lenovo's thinnest gaming laptop is just 1/100th of a millimeter thicker than the Razer Blade 15 and it uses only the latest Zen 3+ and RDNA 2 parts from AMD. It holds up surprisingly well against the competition so long as you don't mind the high core temperatures.
Lenovo Legion Slim 7 (AMD) Review
Source: Mobile Tech Review English
The Slim 7 is 16.9mm thin and it’s clad in a rigid and understated aluminum casing that doesn’t scream “gamer”. Our review unit has a 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen 6900HX CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6800S dedicated graphics. A fingerprint scanner and 1080p webcam are standard.

70% Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gen 7 Review
Source: PC Mag English
Each year, gaming laptops promise higher and higher performance, but that usually means more mass, power consumption, and price. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gen 7 is a capable rig that easily outruns non-gaming notebooks of similar size. If you're looking for a laptop that can play present-day titles but is relatively easy to carry around, the Slim 7 is a fine choice, though the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 remains our lightweight favorite—albeit more gamer-garish and more expensive.

16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


79.65%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
