The highest-end gaming laptops have been unveiled. The Legion 7 and 7i can be configured with the best of the best in terms of processor and graphics. The Legion 7 is one of the few gaming laptops that can be configured with both a processor and graphics card. It can be configured with up to Intel's 12th Gen Core i9-12900HX and with a graphics card from Nvidia, which has 175W of total graphics power.

The Legion 7-series machines have a couple of additional upgrades over the Legion 5 Pro. It has a bigger battery than a 720p one, and it has a better camera. Each model includes a QHD 16:10 aspect ratio display that has a 165Hz refresh rate and can be used with either the Intel-based Legion 7i or the AMD-based Legion 7. You can upgrade the screen to a QHD panel that supports variable refresh rate.

The Legion 7i has a cool feature that is related to its memory capacity. The base clock speed for the model with 32GB of RAM is 4,800MHz, but it can be increased to 5,600MHz if you choose to.

The Legion 7i will be available in May at a starting price of $2,449. The Legion 7 will have a starting price of $2,059 in June.

The Legion Slim 7 and 7i, which retain many of the same features as the Legion 7 but in a slimmer chassis, are part of the set of announcements. The Slim 7i and Slim 7 will be available in May and June, respectively.

The Legion Slim 7 and 7i can be configured with the same selection of high-end Intel and AMD CPUs. The Slim 7i can go up to the RTX 3070 with a total graphics power of 100W, while the AMD-based model can support up to the Radeon RX 6800S graphics.

The Slim 7i is getting more interesting display options, with a QHD Mini LED being one of them. The Legion 7 and 7i have a lower starting resolution of 1920 x 1200, but the display options are the same.

The Slim 7 and 7i have support for a 99.99Wh battery, though it starts with a 71Wh option. I think this is the only Legion laptop released in 2022, and it should have more support in the gaming lineup.

There are many more gaming laptops that are on the way. More options are available with Intel's 12th Gen processors, but we should start seeing more coming with the new Ryzen 6000 H-series processors fromAMD.
