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.

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!

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 2 місяці тому
The 2024 has 3 usb-c instead of 2. More usb-c and less usb-A, it’s a good compromise imo.
@bis7331 Місяць тому
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.

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.

@@SneakyMrSnake in my opinion, yes. AMD is much more efficient, it can give you the same performance as Intel at half of the energy consumption. At peak performance in games they are matched, but again at much more energy consumption which is very important in a laptop, so the amd version can give you lower temps. And in my opinion yes the last gen is a very good option since there is no new generation of graphics card. So if you can get one in a good discount because of this new generation would be best.
