Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been a big fan of IBM/Lenovo computers ever since my first business laptop a couple decades ago. I appreciate the outward professionalism of their designs with the eminently capable insides. Add on to that, they have my favorite keyboard of any laptop I'm not usually a fan of laptops over 15", especially gaming rigs, because they tend to be a bit too bulky. Laptop makers also tend to squeeze a 'full' keyboard with numpad into 15"+ frames and I don't like the keyboard, touchpad offset that happens with that setup. Lenovo *did* put in a full keyboard/numpad but the numpad is narrow and the keyboard offset is not too drastic. Fortunately, Lenovo brought some of their timeless style to the Legion and we have a laptop that would look great in any conference room but has the guts to run AAA titles on the gorgeous WQXGA screen. They also made a 16" inch laptop feel like an ultra portable. Though the power brick is hefty, it too is stylish and slender. Here are some points that I appreciate about the Legion Slim 7. Power: Every creativity program I have run and more importantly, every game that I like playing has played without a hitch. Battletech, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Star Trek Online, and Elite: Dangerous. I'm sure it is going to do just as well with Homeworld 3, Company of Heroes 3, and Bloodlines 2. The extra power overhead is also great for work as well. With a huge, beautiful screen, you have tons of room to have editing panes open in video/photo editing. You can have multiple tabs open in Edge, while also crunching some video clips or writing in Scrivener. With the Legion Slim 7 having a complete AMD pipeline, you get to really see the AMD silicon shine. Display: This is probably my favorite laptop display. It hits all the high points by being both bright and colorful, while also large enough and with the resolution to be useful and fun. Combine that with the speed of this screen, and you have what I consider to be the trifecta of a perfect screen. Heat: From what I have experienced for the last week, the Legion Slim 7 does a VERY good job of managing heat. While the fans can get going pretty hard, I'm not too worried about that because I typically play with headphones on. Ports: I know some people have complained that the AMD Advantage Edition doesn't have all the ports that the Intel version sports but for me I think there are plenty and a good variety. I appreciate the power, video, and USB-A ports are on the back, while the USB-C ports are on the left and the full size SD Card slot and headphone jack are on the right. Expandability: Here is my only real quibble with the Legion Slim 7... there is not a slot for a second SSD on the motherboard. This is almost unforgivable in this day and age. Programs keep getting larger and larger while media libraries also balloon out. While I can offload some of the media files and even a few of the programs onto high speed external drives, I'd really rather they be internal and save the external drives for back-ups. This almost made me want to pull a star but the rest of the computer is so good, that I just couldn't do it. Bottom Line: The Lenovo - Legion Slim 7 AMD Advantage Edition is a phenomenal laptop, full-stop. Not gaming laptop, not business laptop, not media laptop, just a phenomenal laptop because it can do all of those things beautifully while also looking great doing it. Other than the expandability issue, and maybe not their absolute best keyboard, everything else is perfect for what I'm looking for. If you want an all around laptop that can crush work during the day, and crush aliens at night (or maybe while you are still at work), you CAN NOT go wrong with the Legion Slim 7.

Great gaming laptop. would recommend, battery is good, it not too bulky.

Laptop was in great condition. Charging cord was missing. Hence the 4 star review

It was an awesome day and excellent service at the time of the purchase

I had exchanged my old Asus ROG Zephyrus for this laptop and paid the difference for it. I brought it home, plugged it in only for it to NOT power on whatsoever. The box was not tampered with, so I'm genuinely curious as to why a brand new out of the box laptop would not power on whatsoever even with it plugged in. Going to be taking it back to get a replacement.

Do NOT buy this computer! I bought one and it was amazing! Then, after about three months, the motherboard failed. I got a lenovo tech to replace it and then was able to exchange the computer for a new one. Guess what?! Three months later and the same problem! This is unacceptable.

can I change the laptop if I took it and made a mistake that there are 2 slots the manager just said he doesn’t know

No drop, no physical damage, the screen just turned black after the update. Did several troubleshoot even the bestbuy team had troubleshooting it. The total tech coverage is a joke. They found out that there was a 5 the lapse in coverage due to system issue and did not help to fix it.

The laptop worked fine till we tried to install graphics drivers then the screen went blank. Returned same day
