      @@crimsontechyt That's true, but they introduced in the new generation 2025 Legion 5 with 15.1” OLED, QHD+ (2560x1600), 165Hz. Quite a nice replacement for the 2023 Legion 14. The 1 inch isn't that big of a difference.

    best reviewer I see your back to old format much appreciated. About lenovo I had the legion 5i, worst charging cable that I've ever seen after a few months of carrying around the cable was just twisted every where and eventually stoped charging after a few months. I had an older asus 550jk and the cable still works to this day.

    I had it (with 32GB of memory) before Zephyrus G14 2023, Legion 7i 2024 and Zephyrus G16 2024 AMD...I'm still certain that this is the best (bang for buck) 14 inch laptop you can get! Only disadvantages for me were a terrable sound quality and glossy screen (I know that every oled is more or less glossy).

      It is to expensive in comparision to the newest Zephyrus 16 (R9-Ai-70-16gb) discount price in Germany 1572€ (1849€ - 15%) If you take the Zephyrus as gold standard, this legion has a price of max 1299€ and TUF 14 (R9AI70- 32GB) 1399€ but just because of its 32GB, as 16GB are just not enought for medium professional workload.

    Soldered RAM, so 32GB should be gotten. Otherwise, this may be a solid competitor to the ASUS A14, although its decidedly last-gen.

    Great laptop, I own it myself. I've been using it for six months now, but in addition to the pros, this model has a couple of unpleasant cons. In modern standby the fans are turned off, so it heats up to 90-100C and drains the battery to zero. I use it in Hibernate mode instead of sleep mode (ryzen issues, I think).
    Also a big drawback for my personal device is random crashes in Hybrid-Auto mode during the day with BIOS versions above MACN24WW. So I'm just staying with the old bios because I like the feature when it automaticly disabling dgpu when the charger is off.
    As for the pros, it's a great screen. Watching movies in HDR on it is a great pleasure. Also silent mode, this is one of the few laptops in which the silent mode works adequately and it can be used permanently. It's a pleasure to play and work on it, the performance is great and at the same time it's very quiet. (in silent mode on RTX4060 is allocated 60W).
    If you turn on perfomance mode - get ready to wear noise-canceling headphones. You can't cheat the laws of physics, a 105W GPU in such a small case will make it noise like a Boeing.😆
