LEGION has truly raised the bar with the NEW 2024 Legion 7i. With a redesigned cooling system and a significant leap in CPU performance, it has elevated everything we adored about the Slim 7i from last year to new heights. We were eager to put them head to head to showcase the improvements so sit tight and enjoy the ride. Oh…and that Glacier White model is absolutely stunning!

this is way too sponsored and salesy brother the genuine reviews are way better than this, no pricing, no comparing to other brands, no discounting options mentioned not much of downsides mentioned.

@eddieneyman4035 3 месяца назад

Agreed. The end of the video "Now down to price... uggh it shouldn't be too much more than last years" Shouldn't reviews be based on actual fact? Be sure to Pick one up! What a load of crap from this channel. You can see how happy his face is at the end, Lenovo clearly is letting him keep the machine.

From what I remember, the last year model Legion Slim 7i 2023 had only one DDR5 slot, one was soldered, only Legion Slim 5i 2023 had two DDR5 slots. This Legion 7i 2024 has two DDR5 slots. And has one USB Type A minus.

@valerioforte9116 3 месяца назад

The 2024 has 3 usb-c instead of 2. More usb-c and less usb-A, it’s a good compromise imo.

@bis7331 3 месяца назад

Despite having one ram stick interchangeable and one soldered, as long as there are two ram sticks the legion 7i 2023 will still support dual channel so its not a huge loss.

@kevin-sj3wt 2 месяца назад

We were waiting for the 9i last year for the Mini LED screen, but the price was so over the top (5000+ EUR plus the screen did not get that favorable reviews) so we ended up buying a 4090 Pro 7 (nearly 1500 EUR cheaper).

This new Legion 7i adds a sodimm ddr5 slot compared to the previous Legion Slim 7i, which only has 1 sodimm ddr5 slot. Also, they replace one USB-A to USB-C, that why it only has 2 USB-A compared to the previous, which has 3 USB-A.
