Lenovo is now adding AMD Ryzen 4000H processor options to the Legion Slim 7 gaming laptop lineup. The acclaimed AMD Renoir APUs can be paired with up to an Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU, and Lenovo still claims that these new laptops are the world’s lightest 15-inch models sporting RTX cards.

Users can opt to equip the new Legion Slim 7 models with either a Ryzen 5 4600H, Ryzen 7 4800H or Ryzen 9 4900H APUs, which can be coupled with up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and up to 2 TB of NVMe SSD storage.

Regarding the claim for the world’s lightest 15-inch gaming laptop, Lenovo explains that the chassis is made of aerospace-grade aluminum that allows for a 0.71-inch profile and shaves off weight down to 4.1 lbs. To keep internals running at optimal temperatures, Lenovo offers the Legion Coldfront 2.0 cooling system, and the laptops also benefit from a 71 Wh battery that can last up to 9.6 hours.

Other features include a fingerprint reader integrated with the power button, white backlit TrueStrike mechanical keyboard, HD webcam with privacy shutter, 2x 2 W Dolby Atmos speakers, and a Killer Wi-Fi 6 card with Bluetooth 5.1.
