The link isn't working for me 😔
The US one
Thanks for letting me know, I just fixed it. Please try again and let me know if it's working now. Thanks : ) @@Milanor
@@DemCrumblies i'm glad I could help. Do you know how to contact Lenovo's sale's customer support?
I tried to use the live chat option for about 2 weeks to no success, the button for said option is always disabled.
Do you know if I can contact them via email?
I’m really suprised you don’t have more views! Keep it up man, your videos are very good! And the fact you spent your own money on it shows how dedicated you are. Keep at it!
Hey @lukeyhas3276, thanks for the kind words and support and for watching! I truly appreciate it🙂
best Lenovo product introducer ever👍
That is pretty high praise, thanks for watching😃
You can also change the monitor refresh rate to 60hz for power savings. Change this in Lenovo Vantage under power settings called dynamic refresh rate. It really squeezes out more battery life if you are just using it at cafe for work etc.
Yea once you unplug the power adapter, it automatically drops down to 60 hz every time. I can definitely have semi-decent battery life with it unplugged if I dropped the screen brightness too, but I left it on max all the time because the display was so vibrant with it set that way.
Nice review, man. I ordered the maxed out version of this beast some days ago. i9 14900hx paired with the RTX4090 and 64gb ram.
Though this was very expensive but here in the UK 🇬🇧 lenovo has a 15% discount going on right now, so i paid £3,506 + £200 3Y premium warranty and accidental damage, which to me was a cheaper option compared to Asus ROG strix scar 16 or 18 2024 model or the Blade 16 or 18 which was around £4,000+ respectively.
However, I'm still waiting for this beast to arrive. The nights 🌙 are becoming much longer for me 😅.
Wow congrats! I'm officially jelly lol. That configuration will last you many years. Good score with the 15% off too. I'm so glad I got this too over the Razer Blade because I was initially eying that and the Alienware 18" model, but the Razer is too much for what it is imo and I remember reading complaints of battery bulging with Razers, but with the Legion, zero regrets so far. You're going to love yours!
@DemCrumblies Thank you, man. I initially considered Razor Blade 16 2024. However, it's an overpriced laptop. £3,600 for the Rtx 4080 version and £4,200 for the Rtx 4090. Both with 32gb ram. Then again, hearing all the fuss about razor Oled burning and da da da. I decided the 9i was better value given what it offers for the price.
The only thing I thought so hard about before making the purchase of the 9i was the trackpad. From what I've seen, it's a small trackpad. But I believe I'll get used to it. I'm getting the legion M600s IQ gaming mouse because of this. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. I hope it serves me well years to come.
@@godiananyanwu5894 Yea once you experience OLED displays, it really does spoil you, however the 9i's display is stellar that I don't feel like I'm missing out not having an OLED display. On the upside, there's also no worries about burn-in. Yea the Razer laptops are definitely overpriced, maybe the chassis is higher-end on them, but I care more about what's inside since I'm pretty careful with my gear.
Yea if you're caught out without a mouse, the trackpad is a bit on the smaller side by today's standards, but actually older laptops had a similarly sized trackpads, it's just that this trackpad is pushed down way more. Btw, if you used my link to order, thanks very much 😁
@DemCrumblies No worries, mate. I'll use your link. Be rest assured 👍.
I saw someone used my link to buy the laptop with a 4090, so I thought it might be you 😉
0:32 whoaah, you such a lucky to have it, this kinda favourite and dream laptop of everyone 👏🏻
Yea I had to pay a lot, but so far it's worth the price, no problems with it. I saw reviews of the 7i and I think it's almost as good as this laptop too, maybe this will just be slightly better with thermals and has a more unique design, but the 7i is very power too.
@@DemCrumblies your liquid pump is one step ahead tho, as the user of 2020 Legion, I can't expect the power of ur machine which most game still be handled well on mine, mindblowing machine u have, although pro 7i still pricy for me to upgrade, but urs was way more outstanding
@@rikodewantoro About the liquid pump, I remember there being some debate about the effectiveness of it: www.tomshardware.com/news/lenovo-legion-9is-biggest-boast-falls-flat-under-scrutiny Still, I have no regrets lol, this thing games effortlessly and lets me edit 4K videos smoothly too.
@@DemCrumblies very nice bro, the price you paid for it, the effortlyness you deserve by it
@@rikodewantoro Thanks for that and for watching my video 🙂
I saw on some older reviews of this, not that this unit is that old by any means, that the display would dim down for no reason, is this true or did you experience this with brightness up high?
Hey @tommybahamax, it would only dim down for me when I unplugged it from the wall because the battery mode would kick in, but while plugged in, it was always bright. There have also been some updates for this laptop since I reviewed it, so if there were any kinks, I'm sure they're all ironed out by now.
Did you use Balanced or Performance mode for those gaming tests?
I used performance mode with the GPU overclock feature turned on.
Hello thanks for the review, Is there a huge difference between legion 9i and legion 7i ? If we assume both have the same configurations or close enough , because I’m confused which one I should get , legion 9i design is amazing , but In the same time I don’t think I’ll be downloading that much of games if so maybe 3 - 5 games max like gacha games such as Genshin impact - honkai star rail - weathering waves etc… I have always wanted a laptop that can run games and it’s reliable for personal/work use.
Is it really worth it to spend the extra money for legion 9i ? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hey there, I would say to get the 7i instead because with the 9i, I think you're mostly paying for the premium design and carbon fiber lid.
@@DemCrumblies ha thats what i like!
Kind of late to this but with the high res display did you notice having to moderate some of your graphics selections in some of the more demanding titles? I know with a 4090(mobile) you’re pretty much covered but for games like cyberpunk with all the ray tracing/path tracing etc I’m wondering where to set my target in terms of fidelity since native res. and maxed settings is a lot to ask of any gpu.
Hey @athanasiosklaras4355, my laptop only came with the 4080 but I didn't limit any display settings while gaming. However, I didn't play any really demanding games, only Warzone, Fortnite and Apex. You could use the game's auto-detect settings to see which settings it wants to apply based on your system specs, play it like that, then start tweaking settings one by one until you get it dialed in how you want.
@@DemCrumbliesthank you for the reply, I just got mine and I’m in that awkward phase of trying to reel back my expectations …spending this kind of money and then having to turn off or limit settings just never sits well but it’s the reality and I think at 4k I’m not alone in this situation. Anyway great review appreciate the content!
@@athanasiosklaras4355 Congrats! It's a great laptop, but yea always annoying when you buy pretty much top of the line and see a game recommend you dial something down a bit. Btw do you have a laptop riser? If not, it's probably good to get one to help with thermals if you'll be gaming for extended periods.
@@DemCrumblies I’m considering it since it does seem to run hot but think it exhausts out the bottom so not sure yet
@@athanasiosklaras4355 Yea any elevation will help if you'll be pushing it for long periods at a time. When I was on vacation with it, I just tucked my wallet under to help prop it up a bit.
How difficult was it to get used to the layout of the keyboard and touchpad, because they are shifted down because of the location of the vents?
The keyboard layout didn't feel off to me actually, but I did sometimes touch the touchpad with my palms, so I just disabled it because I always use a mouse with my laptops.
@@DemCrumblies Yeah that makes sense - I do use my laptop's touchpad and keyboard a lot. It sounds like a poor fit for my use case then.
Another issue is that the touchpad is a lot "thinner" due to the keyboard being shifted down.
Yea if you use the touchpad a lot, it the reduced vertical height may feel limiting for you. Lenovo will announce more laptops at CES next month, so maybe one of those options will be better suited if you're not in a rush. @@crazyelf1
@@DemCrumblies Thanks - I went with the Lenovo Thinkpad P16 for that reason. The other reason is because I wanted a 4k display and it was on sale where I live.
@@crazyelf1 Looks like a solid option, I also would have liked a 4K display and the P16 has a Kensington lock too, which is not present on the 9i. As long as you're not doing heavy gaming with it, it'll be great!
Interesting thing about this laptop is it’s actually using the same chipset as a 4080 but performance is cut down. It’s not a true 4090. Blame NVIDIA on the naming.
So the model I reviewed is with the 4080, not the 4090 so that will explain the benchmarks better : )
Are you planning on doing a review for the 7i? (not the pro)
I wish I could, but since they never send these products to me, I have to buy them on my own and I'm not rich enough to review more models : | I remember seeing some reviews that mentioned the 7i is almost as good and you should only get the 9i if you just want everything super premium, but you wouldn't miss too much going with the 7i from what I remember.
@@DemCrumblies All good bro. Yes, after weeks of research, the upcoming 7i seems like the perfect choice for me. This 9i is way too beastly of a laptop for me 💀
@@rosuadlTsi Yea plus the 7i will have a larger trackpad than on the 9i.
@@DemCrumblies that’s always nice!
@@rosuadlTsi Btw, if you have Rakuten in your country, remember to use it to get cashback. Rakuten sometimes has high cashback rates like even 11% back when you order from Lenovo. If you've ever ordered from Lenovo before, you can always jump on sales chat too and negotiate a discount. You may even be able to secure a discount as a first time buyer too if you get a good sales agent. Good luck!
You are good but there is low views. You should do something new
Yea I was late with my review when all the hype was around it about 1 or 2 months ago.
Nice review.
Thanks for watching : ) @smradinaglupa
