Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gaming Laptop With AMD Ryzen 7 Processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Graphics: Now Available In India

On Monday, Lenovo announced the Legion Slim 7 in India (February 28). A year after the device’s global debut, Lenovo has launched a new gaming laptop under its Legion lineup in India. It’s one of the world’s slimmest gaming laptops, according to the company. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 laptop, which weighs just under 2 kilogrammes and features the latest AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics, is dubbed the Legion Slim 7.

Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has been designed to increase the portability of its powerful laptop format, as can be seen from the company’s big claim. The device is only 0.74 inches wide at its widest point and weighs just under 2 kilogrammes. It’s worth noting that the Legion Slim 7 isn’t the world’s slimmest gaming laptop; the Dell Alienware x14, which was released earlier this month, is only 0.57 inches wide and thus beats out the Legion Slim 7.
In any case, the Legion Slim 7 comes with its own set of advantages. It, for example, comes with Windows 11 pre-installed and a WQHD display with a 165 Hz refresh rate. Lenovo has also included Legion’s proprietary technologies, such as Legion AI Engine, Legion Coldfront 3.0, and others. Here’s a closer look at everything the Legion Slim 7 has to offer.

Specifications and Features

Windows 11 Home is installed on the Lenovo Legion Slim 7. (64-bit version). It has a 15.6-inch WQHD (2,560×1,440 pixels) IPS anti-glare display with a 165Hz refresh rate and sRGB colour gamut coverage of 100 per cent. The display also features a DC dimmer and Dolby Vision technology. The laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, as well as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and 6GB of GDDR6 graphics memory. There is also 8GB soldered DDR4 RAM with a frequency of 3,200MHz, as well as 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4 RAM. In total, the laptop can hold up to 24GB of RAM (16GB expandable SO-DIMM alongside the inbuilt 8GB memory).

Lenovo has included a 1TB SSD M.2 storage drive. A full-size keyboard with RGB lighting is included with the laptop. There are also stereo speakers with 2W audio output per speaker, as well as Nahimic Audio. Harman is also behind the speakers.

A 720p webcam with a privacy shutter is included with the Legion Slim 7. The Legion AI Engine comes preinstalled on the machine, which is said to shift power between the CPU and GPU to provide more frames per second. According to the company, this helps deliver top AAA titles at a maximum frame rate.
The Legion Slim 7 includes Lenovo Legion Coldfront 3.0, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise the system for resource-intensive games and allows users to control fan speed and voltage using Q-control 4.0.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 comes with a 71Whr battery that can last nearly eight hours on a single charge. The battery is also equipped with Rapid Charge Pro technology, which helps to improve battery life and speed up charging. The laptop weighs 1.9kg and measures 356x252x15.9mm.

Price and Availability

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is priced at Rs. 1,44,990 in India. Starting February 28, the laptop will be available in a single Shadow Black colour through the official Lenovo website, Lenovo Exclusive retail stores, and all major online and offline stores in the country.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 comes with a three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass, which includes over 100 high-quality PC games. In January of last year, a previous version of the Legion Slim 7 gaming laptop was released in the United States.

With a 15-minute quick charge, Amazon claims the earbuds can play music for up to 2 hours. The earbuds measure 20.0×19.1×19.1mm and weigh 5.7 grammes without ear tips.

Price And Availability

In India, the Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) TWS earphones with a USB Type-C wired charging case cost Rs. 11,999. A higher-end model with a wireless charging case will set you back Rs. 13,999. Amazon is offering a Rs. 1,000 discount on both options as a launch offer. The earbuds are currently available for purchase on Amazon India in the colour black.

Intel 12th Gen CPUs For Slim And Light Laptops Officially Announced.

Leave a Comment / News, Tech News / By Team YTS

Intel 12th Gen processors, based on its all-new hybrid architecture, were announced in January. The H-series, the first of three lines of laptop CPUs aimed at gaming laptops and workstations, was the focus of that announcement. The P- and U-series of performance thin-and-light laptops, as well as those with modern/foldable PC designs, will be available starting today.

While the chips are now official, customers will not have to wait long to see them in new laptops, as Intel anticipates OEMs shipping devices in March. Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, NEC, Samsung, and “others,” which presumably includes Microsoft and Razer, are among the partners.

Intel 12th Gen

In Windows 11, the new mobile processors use Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient cores (E-cores) in conjunction with Intel Thread Director, just like the 12th Gen desktop processors. The architecture is similar to that of Arm-based big.LITTLE CPUs, with larger, more power-hungry cores paired with smaller, more energy-efficient ones. The larger cores handle the user’s current workloads, such as video editing or gaming, while the smaller cores handle background tasks or any minimized apps.

This hybrid design is based on energy efficiency, which, when combined with Intel’s smaller nanometer chip design, provides users with significantly more power when needed while also extending battery life.

Indeed, Intel 12th Generation has far more cores than Intel 11th Generation, particularly in the traditional Ultrabook segment of thin-and-light laptops. Previously, an 11th Gen top-tier Core i7-1165G7 processor could only have four cores and eight threads; now, it can have up to fourteen cores (6 P-cores and eight E-cores) and twenty threads.

These new 12th Generation mobile chips are further divided into three categories:

P-series (28W): For thin-and-light performance laptops.
U-series (15W): For thin-and-light (convertible) laptops.
U-series (9W): For thinner detachable and new foldable PC designs

When compared to its 11th Gen processors, Intel claims the following in terms of real-world performance:

Multi-thread performance is up to 70% faster.
3D rendering performance nearly doubled
Photo editing is up to 30% faster.

Many traditional clamshell laptops, as well as Dell’s highly anticipated redesigned XPS 13 Plus, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano G2, and HP Elite Dragonfly G3, will use that 28W P-series processor, e.g., Core i7-1280P (14 cores; 20 threads), as OEMs refresh their current lineup. The 15W U-series will likely be used in thinner devices, such as “x360” convertible PCs.

It is expected that the 9W U-series chips will be used in detachable “Surface Pro-like” PCs as well as Intel’s move toward foldable PCs like the Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED, which is perhaps more interesting. These PCs can use the new Core i7-1260U processor, which has 10 cores (2P, 8E) and 12 threads with a maximum turbo speed of 4.7GHz (29W).

The switch to 12th Gen U-series (9W) processors contrasts sharply with Lenovo’s experimental ThinkPad X1 Fold, which featured an Intel 11th Gen (Lakefield) i5-L16G7 processor with only 5 cores (5 threads) and a maximum turbo speed of only 3.0GHz.

Of course, how these chips compare to AMD’s latest Ryzen 6000 Mobile processors remains to be seen. AMD, like Intel, has recently improved sleep states, battery efficiency, performance, graphics, and features on its non-gaming processors. However, Intel now appears to have the upper hand in terms of cores over AMD, which is a fascinating shift in power.

We should have comparative tests later this year with Microsoft’s unannounced Surface Laptop 5, which is expected to ship with Intel 12th Gen and AMD Ryzen 6000 Mobile processor options.

Intel Evo

Revisions to Intel’s Evo platform round out the news. OEM laptops must meet specific criteria, according to Intel, to ensure an optimal PC experience, such as fast resuming, long battery life, and specific hardware requirements.

The camera in the second-edition Evo guidelines had to be at least 720p resolution, and the speakers and tuning had to be of high quality. In addition, a new “Key Experience Indicators” (KEI) dubbed “Intelligent Collaboration” has been added.

The new Engineered for Intel Evo program, which is expanding to accessory partners this year, is another significant addition. Engineered for Intel Evo accessories labels will start appearing on devices that meet Intel’s requirements, such as the Kensington SD5700T Thunderbolt 4 dock and the Poly Voyage 4320UC Bluetooth conference headphones.

About The Company

In late 2013, two former Oppo employees founded OnePlus, a new smartphone company. Their goal was to create OnePlus phones that checked all the boxes for Android fans: great design, powerful specs, the fastest and most lightweight software, and a low price. With the launch of the OnePlus One in 2014, the dream became a reality.
OnePlus has grown from its humble beginnings as an online-only niche smartphone manufacturer to a global powerhouse since then. When you take a step back and realize it’s only been a little over eight years, it’s quite an accomplishment.
