Performance scores
Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gen 8 (2023, AMD) — the RX 6800S slim with the biggest AMD buffer
The Legion Slim 7 Gen 8 at $922 pairs a Ryzen 5 6600H with a Radeon RX 6800S (8 GB) — the largest AMD-side graphics buffer in this batch — and 32 GB of RAM. Mobility is the flagged strength: 45, up 55% on the gaming-class median, top quartile. The flagged weakness is memory: 32 GB against the 64 GB pro-tier median.
Where it holds up
3D modeling and engineering CAD both top the sheet at 92 — top band — with photo design at 91 right behind. Gaming reads 72 (high), office 84.85 (high) and overall performance 76.73 (high). The measured fits clear recommended bars across Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege, with Premiere and Photoshop minimums passing. Value at 77.5 (high) and portability 36.7 (mid) round out the slim-flagship case.
Where it falls short
Memory at 32 GB is the flagged ceiling in a 64 GB-median class — the one line the slim chassis could not fit. The 16.26% cohort rate marks the steep modern-gaming slope, and the 6600H CPU tier, while capable, is the oldest silicon among the $922 Legion builds.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 16.26% per year — a steep modern gaming slope.
Alternatives to consider
The Legion Pro 7 Gen 8 at the same $922 adds the RTX 4080 with a 12 GB buffer and a 97.31 CPU. The Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 16 at $922 posts photo 99 with value 79.2. The Legion Slim 7i Gen 8 at $922 is the Intel twin with the 99.9 Wh battery.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The RX 6800S slim: modeling 92, CAD 92 and photo 91 with an 8 GB AMD buffer and value 77.5 — the 32 GB ceiling the one flag on a carry-friendly flagship card.
