The Lenovo Slim 7 (16″ AMD), model code 16ARH7, released in 2022, is a 16-inch creator laptop that combines a big, fast 2.5K 165Hz touchscreen with AMD Ryzen 6000 power and NVIDIA RTX graphics in a slim aluminum body. Importantly, this is the standard "Slim 7" — not the higher-tier "Slim 7 Pro 16," which shares the same chassis but offers a wider range of processors and graphics. The standard Slim 7 16 keeps things simple: it shipped in essentially one core configuration built around the Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition and an RTX 3050. Because it's a focused lineup, identifying it correctly (and telling it apart from the Pro) is the main thing that ensures an accurate quote. Select your storage and condition with our tool above to see an instant cash offer. Not sure whether you have the standard or the Pro? The steps below make it simple.

First: confirm it's the standard Slim 7 16 (not the Pro)

Flip the laptop over and read the label on the bottom cover, or press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter to see the "System Model" line. Here's what confirms it:

✅ It's the standard Slim 7 16 (AMD) if…

  • The name is Lenovo Slim 7 (16″ AMD) — no "Pro" and no "Yoga"
  • The machine-type code is 16ARH7 ("AR" = AMD Ryzen, "H7" = 2022)
  • Common model numbers begin 82UX… (e.g. 82UX0000US)
  • Processor is a Ryzen 7 6800HS with an RTX 3050

❌ It's a different model if…

  • Name says Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16 → the Pro version (also 16ARH7-coded, but Ryzen 5/7 + iGPU/RTX 3050 Ti options)
  • Name has an "i" (Slim 7 16IAH7) → the Intel version of the standard Slim 7
  • Screen is 14"–14.5" → a smaller Slim 7 / Pro / Pro X / Carbon

Both the standard Slim 7 16 and the Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16 use the 16ARH7 code, so the surest way to tell them apart is the product name: the standard model is just "Lenovo Slim 7," while the Pro says "Yoga Slim 7 Pro." The standard Slim 7 16 ships only with the Ryzen 7 + RTX 3050 combination, so if yours has integrated-only graphics or an RTX 3050 Ti, it's the Pro. Our Lenovo model-number guide shows exactly where to look.

Core hardware

Processor (CPU)

  • AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS Creator Edition
  • 8 cores / 16 threads, up to 4.7 GHz, 16MB L3 cache (Rembrandt, Zen 3+)
  • Integrated AMD Radeon 680M graphics on the chip

Graphics (GPU)

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU — 4GB GDDR6
  • Dynamic Boost 2.0, NVIDIA DLSS, DirectX 12 Ultimate
  • This model ships with the discrete RTX 3050; there is no integrated-only version of the standard Slim 7 16

Memory (RAM)

  • 16GB LPDDR5-6400, dual-channel
  • Soldered to the board — NOT upgradable. Every unit is 16GB, so this is fixed.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the standard Slim 7 16 and not the Pro?
Both the standard Slim 7 16 and the Yoga Slim 7 Pro 16 share the machine-type code 16ARH7, so the surest tell is the product name: the standard model is labeled "Lenovo Slim 7," while the Pro says "Yoga Slim 7 Pro." A second clue is the hardware — the standard Slim 7 16 ships only with a Ryzen 7 6800HS + RTX 3050, so if your laptop has integrated-only graphics, a Ryzen 5, or an RTX 3050 Ti, it's the Pro. To read the name and code, press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and check the "System Model" line, or look at the label on the bottom cover. Our Lenovo model-number guide and general find-your-gadget guide walk through it with pictures.
02 Is there an Intel version, and how is this different from the smaller Slim 7 models?
Yes — there's a standard Slim 7 16IAH7 with a 12th Gen Intel processor (the "i" signals Intel); if your code reads 16IAH7, that's the Intel sibling of this same laptop. Beyond that, don't confuse this 16-inch machine with the smaller Slim 7 models: the Slim 7 Pro 14 and Slim 7 Pro X are 14"–14.5" laptops, and the Slim 7 Carbon is an ultra-light 13"–14" model with a carbon-fiber lid. The quickest checks here are the 16-inch screen, the plain "Slim 7" name (no Pro, no Carbon), and the 16ARH7 code. Choosing the wrong model changes your quote and can cause a mismatch at inspection.
03 Can I sell a Slim 7 16 with wear, a weak battery, or a cracked screen?
Yes. We buy the Slim 7 16 in every condition, from like-new to heavily used. Whether yours runs perfectly, has a battery that no longer holds a charge, dents or scuffs on the aluminum shell, a cracked or unresponsive touchscreen, or won't power on at all, just select the matching condition options above and your quote adjusts automatically. Premium 16-inch creator laptops hold meaningful value even with cosmetic or functional issues, so it's always worth getting the estimate before assuming yours isn't worth anything.
04 Which specs raise my Slim 7 16 value the most — and did you know we buy laptops directly for cash?
Many people don't realize that Gadget Salvation runs a full online trade-in / buyback service — you skip marketplace listings, lowball offers, and meetups entirely. You get an instant quote here, ship the laptop with a free prepaid label, and get paid in real cash. Since this model shipped in one core configuration (Ryzen 7 6800HS + RTX 3050 + 16GB), the main value differences come down to SSD size (1TB over 512GB) and overall condition — an intact 165Hz touch panel and a healthy battery matter most. The RAM is soldered at 16GB across all units, so it doesn't vary. If you'd like more context before selling, our blog covers best practices for prepping your laptop before selling. Ready to go?

05 Should I wipe my data first, and how do I get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep to an external drive or the cloud, then sign out of your Microsoft and Lenovo (Lenovo ID / Vantage) accounts and run a factory reset before shipping. In Windows, go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose "Remove everything." Our step-by-step guide to erasing a PC laptop walks you through it. You don't need to remove the SSD yourself; our team performs certified, NIST-compliant data sanitization on every incoming drive — details are on our data erasure protocols page (if a drive can't be erased due to hardware failure, we physically destroy it at no cost). Once your laptop arrives and passes inspection, payment is approved within about two business days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed check. The prepaid shipping label is free and fully insured.
