Lenovo has announced its latest slim gaming laptop, the Legion Slim 7. The machine features up to AMD Ryzen 7 5000 series APUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs in a chassis that tapers to 15.9 mm. The Legion Slim 7 has a 15.6-inch display, available in either a 1080p and 165 Hz variant or a 4K one that tops out at 60 Hz and 500 nits. The Legion Slim 7 starts at 1.9 kg and will come in two colours.

Lenovo has revealed its latest slim gaming laptop, which it is calling the Legion Slim 7. The machine measures 356 mm wide, 252 mm deep and 18.9 mm tall at its thickest point. However, its chassis tapers to 15.9 mm, as the photos below show. Additionally, Lenovo states that the entry-level model weighs 1.9 kg.

The Legion Slim 7 houses a 15.6-inch display - available in FHD at 165 Hz or 4K at 60 Hz. According to Lenovo, the former has a 3 ms response time with overdrive enabled, a peak brightness of 300 nits and covers 100% of the sRGB colour space. Meanwhile, the 4K option is VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified and can reach 500 nits. The latter also covers 100% of the AdobeRGB colour space. Both panels are IPS and support Dolby Vision.

Lenovo is yet to reveal the full configurations of the Legion Slim 7, but it has confirmed that it will be available with up to 8-core Ryzen 7 5000 series APUs and NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX GPUs. Moreover, the Legion Slim 7 will be configurable with up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD.

The company also claims that the Legion Slim 7 should last up to 8 hours between charges, but this is just an initial estimate. Regardless, Lenovo will include a 230 W slim power adapter in the box, although a 95 W Type-C adapter can charge the Legion Slim 7. The I/O, an overview of which you can find below, should be enough to keep most people happy, too. Lenovo is yet to confirm when it will begin selling the Legion Slim 7, though.
