Incredible quality as always. Great review. I am currently running a ROG Strix R9 5950HX with an Nvidia 3060. It's amazing how far I can still push this config, but seeing those Cyberpunk numbers blows my mind. I am currently in the market for a £3000-3500 laptop, as I would like to go bonkers this time and make it last as long as possible. This one is definitely in the running. Thank you again for the time taken here - truly great information.
Much appreciated @AJUK_LIVE! Love to hear that you’re still getting good use out of your Strix R9 5950 HX. These laptops are a serious investment man, so squeeze that lemon for every last drop lol! Whatever you decide on for your next daily driver, take advantage of a solid warranty plan if you can. Especially if you’re an overclock guy.
@@MrTekSuggest Solid advice. These breaking would be a sad day indeed.
Which laptop did you end up buying? I'm thinking of Asus Strix G18 with i9 14900HX, RTX 4070. Its 2199,99 euro.
You know what you did, excellent video presentation and review. 👍👍
thanks; subscribed!
Great review, thank yoU!
Thanks man!
Great review 🔥
Also where can I get your wallpapers. They look sick!!
Beyond annoying that Lenovo doesn't manufacture an 18" legion like the rest of the competition. I can't go back to a 16" after using an 18" size, everything is 14" & 16" options, so annoying for those who enjoy the larger screen real estate.
I agree. 18 is a game changer
18 is too big
@@tommybahamax it’s not
I have a Legion laptop with a 16” screen, however I would prefer an 18” one. They are just better
I’m a pack rat. I would rather have a 16” laptop and then pull out a bigger screen when I need/want it.
Did yours comes with Killer AX1675i WLAN? Mine isn't working after a few months and Lenovo struggling to fix.
My first Legion laptop was a 2023 Slim 7i (i9/4070)
Definitely sticking to Lenovo.
Legion 7 amd from 2022 (ryzen 7/6700m) still kicking
What laptop stand are you using in this video ?
A question regarding Legion 9i Gen 8 vs Legion 9i Gen 9. According official spec Legion 9i Gen 8 allows memory overclock up to 6400 MHz (with 32gb) while Gen 9 does not.
1) Is this overclock possible to launch using standard Lenovo tools (without going BIOS) ?
2) What what would be benchmark/temperature difference at that point (Gen 8 RAM overclocked vs Gen 9) ?
Best review bro
what LG ultrawide monitor are you using
I looked at the Legion line, and tried the 14.5" OLED which was beautiful but ended up with an open box OMEN Transcend 16, i9 13950HX and a 4070 and a beautiful panel for under $800. Its a beast. The Lenovo build quality is hard to beat though I can definitely tell
You nailed this review i mean one of the best review i ever had right now...❤
i have the 7i pro with the 4090, but i seem to have a problem. ever since i got the laptop os is laggy but games are fine though no idea why
I won't be getting it but I always enjoy your reviews 🎩
Trust me man, I understand! Appreciate you swinging by
Nits typo. Its 1200 and 1100. Not 12000 or 11000 or you actually receive eye damage
Good catch, someone got a little zero happy there. 1200 and 1100 respectively
The numbers didn’t feel right
The cooling system is what sold me . As someone who never turns off their laptop, I’ve burned my legs so many times . lol
Did you ever talk about temperatures?
You felt fuzzy inside? Dang a review unit is that nice?
A true legend for uncluding cpu temps 🎉
I don't own a gaming laptop I wish I did. Im new to PC gaming and just got me the rog ally a few weeks ago and Im In love. Coming from console gaming. The rog ally was gifted to me. So hopefully one day I can own a gaming laptop. I did some research Even if I sold the PS5 I wouldn't have no where near enough for a decent gaming laptop. One day 🤞🏼. Great video I really enjoyed it jealous but enjoyed it ✝️🙏🏼🫶🏼🤟🏼
I still use lenovo legion 5 Ryzen 7 5800H with RTX 3060 got it on sale in 2022 for £700
It’s been fantastic never had an issue with it. Easy to upgrade ram and SSD which i did day one.
I was so impressed with the quality and performance.
If i ever get another laptop it will be a legion!
Just ordered one of these 2 days ago. Hopefully it's as good as your review :D. To answer your question at the end of the video, this laptop just made sense (for me personally). I'll be travelling overseas for 2 months soon, so tax claim back at the airport, Easter sale dropped the price from $7900+ to $6037, followed by live chat rep dropping to $5898 with the GB700 bag. On top of all that, 13.2% cashback from Shopback. So the total cost after all these reductions was only about $4700~ AUD ($3060 USD). Quite a good time to grab it.
That's very good price I got one too but unfortunately I didn't get as much as you get discounts I paid 6140 with 64 gb 4090 gpu and 3 years premium warranty، could you please let me know how didn't you get the price down you almost getting 20% on top of the 23% they offered، I mean you got about 43% discounts
@@FreeSync12 I'm confused. What do you mean how? I listed how in my comment lol. Easter sale coupon, Shopback cashbacks, flying overseas so claim back the GST at the airport.
I mean I paid 6140 AUD with Easter coupon rtx 4090 64 gb of ram 1 tb ssd with 3 years premium warranty.
How much in total you paid for it and how much tax return you get, I think I made a mistake on my comment. You said 12% shop back what does that mean 😊
@@FreeSync12 It's apples to oranges. If you don't live in Australia or in the same circumstances eg. travelling overseas, then it's really irrelevant to compare. Be happy and move forward :)
Wow what monitor is 8:30
Hi bro
Lenovo legion 7i i9 14900hx has two display options which display Is better
Hey man, my 7i review is actually in the works. Keep a look a look out!
is ther heet?
I love how it could replace a desktop PC. Put it in a 8k TV with AI autoupscale and it would be perfect. This is my wish but the money tell another history
Unfortunately, the 16” display is the new 17”. The vapor chamber (water) cooling isn’t that impressive as regards CPU cooling
18 inches are the new 17
Got a L5p 16" 12700/3070. For me the fact that last drivers for gpu and some other stuff were almost two years ago gives me a good clue on how much they respect their customers, not to mention the forum and lenovo representatives clueless responses....
But these laptops are solid mofos.......
Also how much is the watt on the 4090 125 or 150/175? cause ive seen the ones with 125w at 1440p and cant say they're worthy of these price tags...
70-75fps with CP on ultra/DLSS/FG/RT high 1440p 4090 125w...........
This is a bit of a disappointing review, in that it doesn't cover a bunch of topics people might wonder about. For example, it's great that it's got a "cool" water cooling system, but what does that actually do to thermals and fan noise? Also, I'm interested in a gaming laptop because I might do some gaming on the go, and so benchmarks at lower power settings would be highly relevant before deciding to purchase.
from some reason it feels like the legion 9i gen 9 has the most unique looking and more solid looking keyboard i definitely liked ths rog strix 18 the most but this one in someways break the rog strix 18
waiting for the day where the handhelds get dGPU like an rtx 4090 :3
9:04 i will get one inchallah
Retuned mine after a few days, wasnt happy with it, so i went with the razer 14 8945HS RTX 4070, couldn't be happier !
What was your main issue? Battery life? Keyboard placement? Fan noise? Performance? Size? Form factor? If you don't mind I would love to know.
@@wickedfrow
i mean, he replaced it with a significantly smaller laptop, so probably the portability
@@wickedfrow That's correct it was due to portability, plus it the Razer plays all my favorite games at hight settings perfecly fine with excellent FPS
Is there no alternative with a Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the RTX 4090? Or is it because of Intel's monopolistic agreements that prevent AMD from pairing their best processor with the latest RTX ? ....
1:32 - 1200 nits* and 1100 nits
I got mine a couple days ago and I've noticed that while idle its at 35c and while i game it goes up to 40c, should i be concerned?
Hey man, are you looking at the CPU or GPU temp? And what software are you using to monitor it? 35 to 40 while idle sounds fairly normal. But 40 C during heavy load , not so much. Is your performance still up to par? What’s the ambient temp roughly of your room/home?
You seem to think 40C is high. You should be concerned how you are getting so low temperature. Normal temperature during gaming is 70C-100C.
@@rezwanarefin3493 Yep 40c is incredibly low. I worry the readings are inaccurate
It has no displayport though? so you can't even use valve index with it? wtf.............
Can you buy something to make it where you can
@@Shapeshifterxx yo. i googled it and you need a usb-c to displayport adapter. then use the usbc slot on the laptop that has the displayport logo next to it.
I would prefer to own an 18" laptop over an 16" own.
I think it would be beneficial to mention for creators who are always on the go wanting a mobile desktop replacement that the 3200 screen on this thing has HDR 1000, 100% DCI-P3 ‘and’ 100% Adobe RGB!! Almost unheard of for a laptop to have both colour gamut’s available!!
Thought I’d mention it as this is pretty much what my lifestyle is headed toward, though I’m a gamer too, so this is a bit of a beast for me for sure!!
Yeah but its no 18 so its a NONO. Once you use a 18 you just cant go back to 16.
All your Timespy scores were below average, smh
Price 😂is also in god tier
165hz from a flagship
Yeah, I think you kind of fucked up the NITS. No laptop on the planet has a 12000 or 1100 NIT screen. 1200-1100. Sloppy video.
was going to say same. pls update video with new snippets of correct information thanks :)
That was honestly the worst battery test I've ever heard in my life, and I'm not blaming lenovo I mean you. Its 2024 we all know by now we aren't going to buy a gaming laptop and game with it on the battery and expect good battery life that isn't even worth bringing up or realistic. Atleast put the real time you would spend web browsing, watching shows movies etc. That was one of the dumbest battery test I've ever heard in my life I dont know why people even both to include gaming AAA or any game for that matter off battery it holds no relevance.
Its 1200 not 12000😂
Funny how people say smth like "a laptop with rtx 4090" while this 4090 goes in line with 4070 Ti...
Dude we all know that a laptop gpu is less powerful than a desktop, but can you carry your desktop on a plane and if so are you willing to store it with other people's luggage and be handled by airport baggage employees?
@@jackattack2060 no, I can't. But I'm not saying laptops are useless. Did I actually say that? No. What I'm saying is 4090 must not be named 4090 if its actual power is equal to 4070 ti super. That's a lie. Am I wrong?
Such an ugly design. It's 6 years out of date. Small trackpad, tons of wasted space. Mismatch of tones in body color. Just isn't good.
G16 with RTX 4080 and OLED is better for most people.
It's not
yeah like 3k+ nah.
@@LCJammer $2699
@@Tetelestai-cw8qy oos on best buy. will still run $3k after taxes still a hard pass.
I probably would have gone with a Zephyrus if the ram wasn't soldered.
just don't get it why people like viewing those FPS number on the screen?
got a gamer here ,open box and saved over $1000...
Do you know if their is a stand out there that is 16inches in length to allow the legion 9i to fully sit so both the front and rear raised basils are properly covered. Currently the one you use an one I bough only allow the front which results in the laptop tipping slightly on the back side
Man.. you know that’s a good question. I’m still on the look out for such a stand. But for now I have added these riser feet here that help to mitigate the tipping. a.co/d/9VNgpvs
If you place them on the bottom of the 9i, right where the stand makes contact, it helps to level things out without the need to extend the 3rd party riser feet
Thanks for the info much appreciated. Question? On cyberpunk what was result of benchmark tests for you if you run everything on max with path tracing off and Ray tracing set to psycho with ray reconstruction on??? I currently get 104 average but I was wondering if that’s Similair or significantly less than what you get. I was testing at 1440p resolution
@@sethrader8749 Can you clarify what you mean by Ray tracing set to psycho?
@@MrTekSuggest it’s a graphic setting in cyberpunk for the raytracing to select psycho I was just curious what your 9i is getting I am averaging like 104 fps with path Tracing off and graphics set to max and ray tracing set to psycho
@@sethrader8749 Ahh, “psycho” a step up
above Ultra. I’m seeing 140fps, 1440P, Max graphics, DLSS Perf… And w/ DLSS Ultra Perf, 175fps
