Vi flög nyligen till Milano för att ta en exklusiv smygtitt på Lenovos Legion Gen 7-serie av bärbara gamingdatorer, innan de släpps till allmänheten (och därmed även innan vi får tag på dem för både Gamereactors Quick Looks och recensioner).
De utannonserades förra månaden och släpps nästa månad. Du kan kolla in dem närmare och lära dig mer om dem i vår exklusiva intervju med EMEA Gaming-chefen John Miedema som filmades på Spazio Lenovo i videon nedan.
Miedema förklarar den viktigaste skillnaden jämfört med föregående Gen så här:
"We spend a lot of time getting to cooling right, and even better than before. What we did was drill even more holes on the C-deck -the keyboard area- to get cool air into the notebook and to get the hot air out. We've embedded, under-key vents to get the airflow even more up to a higher level, to get all that cooling and all that gaming goodness out of that Nvidia GPU, the Intel CPU, or the AMD CPU and GPU."
Lenovo skröt också om att ha det största batteriet i en 16-tums bärbar dator i maj, spelchefen fortsatte:
"we're bundling 99.99 Whr batteries, which is 00.1 below the maximum level of 100 watt-hours. That is the one you are permitted to still bring in on a plane (laughs). So we want to have that long battery life on Slim and we'll have that good enough battery life on performance, so the times where you can get by with 1-hour battery life on a really good gaming notebook are behind us. We still need to give that decent battery life, but again differentiation between Slim (stylish or under-the-radar stealth) and savage is all about performance."
Valorant-mästarna från G2 Gozen flicklag (Julia Kiran, Petra Stoker, Michaela Lintrup, Maryam Maher) var också närvarande vid evenemanget, liksom Lenovo. Miedema säger:
"as a gaming branch we want to address and resonate with our gamers. Of course you need to have the right product, but you also need to have the right credibility and people seeing your brand and associating it with esports. The partnership with G2 and Gozen is really important for us to connect with the right audience"
