We talk to Lenovo’s John Miedema about Legion Gen 7’s better battery –

We recently stopped by Milan to get an exclusive look at Lenovo’s Legion Gen 7 series of gaming laptops before they hit the market.

These were unveiled last month and will be launched next month, and below you can see them in action via our exclusive interview with EMEA Gaming CEO John Miedema at Spazio Lenovo.

“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,” explains Miedema about the differences.

Lenovo is also proud of the fact that they have increased the battery capacity. In fact, they have the largest in the 16-inch field. According to Miedema, it looks like this:

“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”.
