Lenovo knows how to see the intersection between gaming and content creation, two types of activities that naturally complement each other and that are more popular than ever. And it’s because videos and directs have become a basic means of communication, especially for the youngest, but with an audience of all ages. And access to games is more universal than ever, constantly offering deals, free games and new releases. These are good times (if you have the time, of course) to play and create.

As I said before, Lenovo, who already has many years of experience in the gaming market of both laptops and desktops, has also taken into account the needs of content creators to provide them with systems that will ensure that you do all your daily tasks in the best possible way and without complications, so that you they could focus on what really matters, like recording, editing, etc.

The same when it comes to gaming. It’s true to have a team worthy of NASA to enjoy many of the latest releases, what’s more, at MuyComputer we’ve told you on many occasions how to enjoy the various graphics modes of the latest batch games with the systems in which optimization prevails. And we find that in Lenovo’s proposals in this regard, as we will see below.

Lenovo Legion Slim: For creators who play and gamers who create

We start with a new renewal of the Legion Slim series from Lenovo, which reaches its eighth generation with a lot of options for, as I indicated at the beginning, a mixed profile of a content creator and a gamer (although it also adapts perfectly to the needs of those who practice only one of the two activities), with multiple size and performance optionsbut they always think that the advantages do not mean the sacrifice of portability.

Lenovo Slim 7i and 7

The best example of this is the eighth generation Lenovo Legion Slim 7i (Intel) and Slim 7 (AMD), which is equipped with the all-new Lenovo PureSight screen 16 inches with WQXGA resolution (2,560 × 1,600 pixels in 16:10 aspect ratio), refresh rate up to 240 Hz and 430 nits with 100% DCI-P3, are equipped with processors up to Intel Core i9-13900H or MD Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 40 graphics adapters (up to GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile) And until 32 gigabytes 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM.

To guarantee autonomy, they have a battery of 99.99 watt hours that thanks to the fast charging function, we can fully recharge in just 80 minutes. And to ensure reliability, they use Lenovo Legion’s advanced ColdFront 5.0 thermal system, which includes four copper hybrid heat pipes, a phase-change thermal compound, and a new 90-blade fan and air intake system. In other words, its components will be able to give their best thanks to advanced heat dissipation management.

Lenovo Slim 5i and 5

In the Slim 5 of this eighth generation, we find different options, with the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 and 5i available in 16 inches, but also with a 14-inch Slim 5 with an OLED panel. 1.2. The company hasn’t yet released all the details about the 14-inch model with the AMD chip, but we know that the 16-inch models have Lenovo PureSight screens with a resolution of WQXGA (2,560 × 1,600 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio), a refresh rate of up to 240 hertz and a brightness of 500 nits.

In both cases, they are accompanied by NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics up to 4070 RTX Mobile and up to 32 gigabytes of DDR5 5 600 MHz RAM, which will also be expandable up to 64 GB after purchase, guaranteeing spectacular performance. The set is powered by a battery with a capacity of up to 80 watt hours.

Lenovo LOQ

We also attended the launch new Lenovo brand, LOQ, with which the company is trying to approach all users who have somewhat tighter budgets, but do not want to give up the performance needed to enjoy the latest generation of games, on desktops and laptops that, in addition, adapt to perfection even today. – everyday needs. So we are talking about a very balanced design that debuts with a good selection of systems.

«With the launch of the new Lenovo LOQ brand, we’re building a range of cutting-edge gaming and PC offerings that are not just for the best players in the gaming community, but also for beginners and future gamers.» commented Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s vice president and general manager of Smart Devices Group’s Consumer Business segment. «Lenovo LOQ breaks down the barriers to entry for gamers, allowing them to embark on fun and connected adventures in the gaming world.«.

LOQ debuts with the following models:

Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8 / 16APH8

As we saw with the eighth generation Legion Slim, in this case too we find very identical models, but the main difference is that they are powered by Intel and AMD chips. In this case, the Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8 integrates up to Intel Core i7-13700H, while the 16APH8 is a proposal for those who prefer integrated AMD, up to AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS. In both models, the GPU can be up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile with 8 gigabytes of GDDR6 memory, and they can be connected to up to 16 gigabytes of 5,600 megahertz DDR5 RAM and up to a terabyte of NVMe SSD storage.
