 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media, and today we will show you how to open the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i 16 Gen 8. For removing the bottom panel you have to undo 8 Phillips head screws. Then you can pry the plate with a plastic tool. The bottom plate has 2 thermal pads on the inside for cooling the SSDs which is a nice touch.

The battery is a huge 99.9 watt hour model. It's very important to detach the battery connector from the motherboard. In order to take out the battery, you have to undo the 6 Phillips head screws that are keeping the unit in place. This model has enough juice for 9 hours and 5 minutes of web browsing or 7 hours and 9 minutes of video playback. Given the thirsty hardware and the high resolution display of this machine, the result is good. For storage there are 2 M2 slots compatible with Gen 4 SSDs. The pre-installed NVMe has a Lenovo sticker on the screw, but it's fairly easy to remove it safely, just pull it gently. The memory area is covered with a metal shroud that has a thin thermal pad on the inside for enhancing the cooling of the memory stick. In terms of memory, there are 16 GB of RAM soldered to the motherboard, but luckily there is one so dim for future upgrades that can take up to 16 GB DDR5 5200 MHz memory. So the maximum possible amount of RAM is 32 GB. The cooling solution looks good for a thin gaming laptop. It has 2 fans and 3 thick heat pipes. The upper two are shared for CPU and GPU cooling while the third one is dedicated to the graphics memory and the VRMs.
