In a league of its own

This is probably one of the most polished and premium gaming laptops we’ve tested in a while. And you don’t even need a gym membership to lift it.

The sleek form factor is probably the most important part about the Legion 7 but it’s also surprisingly powerful for its size and that’s what sweetens the deal. Armed with top specs, great display, fantastic cooling and interesting power consumption patterns, the Legion 7 is a laptop we wish we could keep for good.

Now when we say slim, don’t assume that the Legion 7 will give the MacBook Air a dietary shock. It’s slim, yes, but by gaming laptop standards. And that is to say, it hides the excess fat exceptionally well. Mostly down to the way it’s designed for how much of that tech it actually squeezes in.

It’s heavy though. You get premium materials all over. Plated with an aluminium frame and chassis and a little bit of good feeling plastic as well. At around 2.5kg it’s as dense as thin gaming laptops can get.

You can’t steamroll all the latest heat-generating tech into a slim profile without ignoring thermal management, right? Exactly why there are heat vents all around the backside of the Lenovo Legion 7. It’s even got a perforated underbelly panel around the heatsink and a little bit of it on the top as well.

If you’re a designer or anyone juggling Adobe suite to fund their gaming habits Lenovo has you covered. The colours on this 16in display are punchy and the display is quite sharp thanks to the 2560x1600 resolution spread across a 16:10 aspect ratio.
