Lenovo - Legion Slim 7 15" Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 5800H - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 512GB SSD - Shadow Black

I have been using Lenovo products since 2016, and the last laptop I had stayed with me through thick and thin, I found myself doing a lot of research and landed on this deal, the price was great so I ended up getting it, so impressed with the performance and I have played so many games with high end specs and it seems to perform well! My only issue is the battery life. If you plan to get this laptop consider buying another NVMe SSD, and a USB/HDMI hub. Other than that I have no complains.

I bought this gaming laptop to use it for gaming and college. It’s really good, I can run almost all of the games at 120+ fps and also some VR games. The only flaw is that the lightning setting for your keyboard only work after you log in so you will always see a rainbow in your keyboard every time you turn on the laptop.

TL:DR... It's fast, light, and slim. Plenty of power for what I need. Let me start by saying that I'm not a gamer, so I can't speak to performance in terms of the demands that gaming places on a machine. I purchased this specifically to edit video, replacing a computer that suffered a fatal hardware failure. It's my first AMD-driven machine, and I'm impressed with the capabilities I've experienced so far. I'm able to run Davinci Resolve without any problems, as well as other software to master and burn discs (this machine does not include an optical drive). The video card is more than enough to run multiple displays, although there is no HDMI output, so I purchased a multi-display adapter that runs off a USB-C port.

Awesome gaming laptop. You can hear the fans while playing so if you don’t like that don’t buy this.

I like the computer. It works well. *BUT* for the love of God, I hate the stinking keyboard lights! The keyboard is either swirling rainbow or not backlit at all. I can't have a single color?? I can't have rainbow without motion?? My only two choices are swirling rainbow or darkness?? So ridiculous. Honestly, It's so annoying that I would have bought a different computer had I realized.

Excellent performance. Sharp picture. Awesome speed.

Im always impressed with how well Lenovo constructs their Legion laptops! If I listed all the laptops I’ve been through with the past months with Best Buy you’d think I’m over-analyzing thing! But it’s such a beautiful thing when you purchase a product and for the first time you unbox you realize “oh wow, no backlight bleeding!”, and Lenovo did just that with my purchase. Now if you purchased a MacBook you’d know that’s rarely ever an issue. Above that, the laptop runs flawlessly! Even for the 1080p display I gotta say I did not think it would be that good! I’ve gone through a couple of laptops with 1080p displays (I’m looking at you Asus) and was disappointed by the lack of good quality or brightness in nits which led me to go 1440p route, but if you’re a gamer you’d know that it’ll require more $$$. So constantly scrolling on deals of Best Buy and purchasing laptops from vendors like Asus, HP, MSI, Aorus, Alienware, and even Acer I was never impressed! I know that sounds terribly picky but the actual truth is there was ALWAYS something off! For instance, it could be the speakers which mind you I’ve come to learn the best speakers for Windows laptop are hands down the Asus G14, but going back to what I was saying the speakers or backlight bleeding, poor cooling, display wasn’t as accurate, etc.. Then I run into this deal… $400 off the original price and I’m like sure why not? Let’s give it a go, and I unbox.. First look..huh no lightbleed.. second look.. wow this screen is bright O_o… third look… is this 1440p?? Pan in closer to realize holy crap this is 1080p! Then comes the keyboard test… immediately love it!! Port check… it could’ve used an HDMI port but I’m not worried about that. Nvidia settings…no advance optimus but MUX Switch included!! This thing started checking every thing out! Speakers…this is purely rated on Windows Laptops only as the MacBooks still hold reign over all. Bass = 4 Mids = 6 Treble/Highs = 8 The only caveat I saw was the size of the brick, but still for such a slim laptop and great battery life (thank you AMD) its amazing. A fingerprint sensor is also included which works everytime I use it. I did uninstall corsair iCue since i read that drains your battery. Get this thing on a deal if you can! Its extremely worth it!!

Things I like: Very thin and light for a 15" with a GTX 3060 Full size SD card reader Can charge via USB C or Lenovo charger Works great with a USB C dock 165 Hz screen with good color and brightness RGB Keyboard can be full RGB, single color, or anything in between RAM is upgradeable Extra slot for NVME SSD aluminum top and bottom cover (maybe keyboard deck also?) Things I don't like: Realtek WiFi card has latency issues with first person shooters. Easily fixed by replacing the Wifi card with an Intel AX200 card ($40). No HDMI Port No ethernet port the matte finish attracts fingerprints Wish the screen was at least HD+ rather than just 1080P RAM can only be upgraded with a single stick - I added a 32GB SODIMM stick and now have 40GB total system RAM. Haven't noticed any performance slow down without it running in dual channel. Charger brick is a little on the bulky size Other: Others have mentioned the fans can get loud when gaming but it's nowhere near as loud as the Intel MacBook pro 16 inch I used to have. If you are gaming with headphones on you won't even notice the sound.
