For those who want to game quietly.
Lenovo has announced some of the top laptops that its Legion gaming arm will release in 2023. Among them are refreshes to the 16-inch Slim 7, Slim 7i, Slim 5, and Slim 5i as well as a new Slim 5 in a 14-inch size. These are, as the name implies, thinner and more portable devices than the beefiest gaming rigs on the market.
In addition to new processors from Intel and AMD, the devices include physical AI chips that power what Lenovo is calling its “AI Engine+.” This feature, Lenovo says, will dynamically adjust a system’s thermals to “optimize cooling on the fly and maintain maximum output with minimal noise.” Whether this is a big deal will honestly depend on the impact it ends up having on performance. Were these laptops to deliver a large increase in frame rates over their predecessors at the same temperatures , that would be a significant benefit. Alas, Lenovo didn’t include concrete performance estimates in its press release. I do wonder exactly how much fancy AI can really improve on the general principle of “cool the chip when it’s too hot,” but I guess we’ll have to see.
Both Slim 7 models start at $1,769.99; the 16-inch Slim 5 and Slim 5i start at $1,199.99 and $1,349.99, respectively. The two Intel models launch in April, while the two AMD models are expected in May. The 14-inch Slim 5 is coming in October, with pricing still to be announced.
