Loving the white color this year. It's SUPER CLEAN
Couple notes:
- These are engineering samples don't have the new Microsoft Copilot key on the keyboard. It will be on the retail units
- The Legion Pro 7i has a 100% DCI-P3 panel instead of 100% sRGB
As long as I can change the copilot key using powertoys, I'm happy!
Thanks for these epic videos.
No AMD, no ThankYou... Don't want the huge power consumption and low battery life....
and Intel seems to be buying off laptop brands/product lines ...eg the zephyrus line was ALL AMD before ...
I noticed the 7 had 145w power consumption but the pro 7i I don’t think I saw how much it consumes
W
Any ETA Dave on when these go on sale??? Can't find it on their US website (yet)
Everyone else: vision pro headset
Dave: lenovo👍🏻
nah but that is so based
He is more so a laptop and handhelds reviewer I feel like. I honestly think it makes his channel a lot better.
Shitty overpriced headset only devs are gunna buy vs chad fairly priced laptop with lots of appeal
Actually, it’s a sponsored ad, isn’t it. Lenovo and intel paid him for this. So its rather, Dave: money 🤑
Like anyone cares to spend 3500USD on that stupid thing.
That white laptop looking clean af! I feel like a gamer laptop that looks like a student laptop would go huge
For real i have been wanting a ultrabook looking gaming laptop for years
Zephyrus G14 says hello
@@JareBear1111 RoGs look way too childish compared to the Legions line-up Design.
I got a thinkbook 16+, proper business looking laptop, but with a 4050 I can game pretty okay
i really hate the whole white black grey scheme everything is going for. whats wrong with COLOR in life?!
I'm so glad they have realised not all gamers want their laptops to look like a Christmas tree vomited all over their computer
You're missing out on the extra fps
I remember searching for a gaming laptop going into college in 2020 and stumbling upon Dave's video on the Legion 5. Still have it today, and it's wild to see the growth of both the tech and the channel over the years!
The review of him of Alienware M15 from 2018 really pushed me to buy it as well and I still got it to this day working like an overheating tank 🤣. It's still a tank though. It's my first ever laptop and here I am watching his vids again looking for an upgrade. I believe that grandpa of a laptop has served its purpose after 6 years.

Finally, Dave coming to his true form, Vegeta.
loool
what
I don't get it
@@rosegokublack9658 the blur on Dave's PiP image. probably because of the blur effect made on the highlighted area in the laptop.
@@studiosnch FU-SION-HA! Who's it going to be with?
The Back part looks so good. With the HDMI port and power port seamlessly going with the vents. I'm not very big fan of the silver chrome but always a big fan of the keyboard and display!
Thank you for this. Clear, concise, helpful review. Looking forward to experiencing the 2024 7i :)
I want to see an expanded version of the 14.5 OLED they did last year.
I was really interested in getting one of those until I found last year's Zephyrus G14 on a monster sale. That 14.5" OLED screen required quite a sale for me to consider alternatives.
@@derkaiser9881 I ended up going with G14 for a similar reason haha.
I would have loved to get it if it had usb 4. It cannot run a 4k 144hz monitor :(
@@manishdkYeah that was another reason I went for a G14 personally. Lack of USB-4 was pretty surprising.
@@derkaiser9881 yeah really. I'm in Ireland so we have a really bad selection and I thought i found the one but yeah will keep looking, it's just for general use coding movies etc. Waiting to see if the acer swift x 14 2024 releases here
Excited for their popular Legion 5 lineup, I really hope they’ll continue the 14” variant from last year
Well done video. No-one explained the way that u did. This video helped me to finally decide which one to pick . Thanks
They should have given an ethernet port on the regular 7i as well.
i too had the exact same thought until i realised you can just get a usbc - ethernet adapter. I'd still like the ethernet port but no longer a deal breaker for me
@@improvefps I didn't know that was an option. I have an older Lenovo and use internet via ethernet. Good to know there's a usbc - ethernet adapter
Modern ethernet sucks, even internal ports are run off of USB protocol and are no better than the type c adapters. Which means they are prone to all sorts of weird bugs.
get a dongle - I counted 3 usb c ports, put the dongle on one of them and you have ethernet, hdmi and other ports depending on the dongle. If you need ethernet, then I presume you're looking at a fixed work station and you might want to have a link to a larger monitor etc. In that case get your ethernet port on a desktop docking station complete with other ports inc hdmi, , extra usb ports etc.
Only if it doesn't make it any thicker
Always such straight to the point & detail oriented breakdowns of the product💜
he should do more upclose footage of the products
great video dave! could you please link the pricing of these devices? would be very helpful. thank you
Air containment is a reliable solution in high thermal load environments like data centers to ensure air supplies and returns do not mix, and thus reducing cooling efficiency of the air supply. This solution may not net a huge boost in cooling, but it is a simple and inexpensive method where every little gain helps.
Just today I was looking up white gaming laptops because I liked the G14 but never felt confident in their reliability. Then you uploaded the perfect video so I don’t have to look further. I enjoy the legion builds, and don’t have to worry about all of the G14 holes getting dirty. Thank you!
Also good change on the exhaust.
Loving that these manufacturers are finally ditching side vents on a lot of gaming laptops.. I can't stand all the hot air blowing out the sides.. rear blowers are the way to go when done properly.
I have never been so enthusiastic about the notebook market so far, and Lenovo is the reason for it!
nice editing dave much love
Surprised it took them this long to make the O in the legion logo the power on button.
The Legion line looks so much nicer and more mature and professional than brands like ROG. I’m a professional, people see my computer, I can’t be walking around looking like a 12-year old Fortnite gamer.
Lenovo ain't playing!
And their stellar choice to invest in NIO EV's since the beginning
Lenovo ain't playing.
They gaming.
Couldn't have phrased it better! @@BloodmoonPyke
Yup, given that they’re owned by CCP
@@BloodmoonPykewish my 2020 legion lasted more than 3 years just died in the beginning of this month
Dave Very nice love all these videos. Thanks so much enjoyed. ✌️💯
Gotta get one soon! Thanks Dave.
- The price?
- One kidney, sir.
This not apple mac
😭 wym man, it's always less than a base mac in my country atleast
Lenovo be having like 4% margin on their products
@@chiquita683 I know, Nvidia to blame.
Apple takes 2 kidneys.
these legion and omen design are look very similiar, like they are loving each other for some reason.
maybe theyre in secret
As a legion owner i think the omens are ugly af
Omen still did "cut corners" very consistently, lets hope Omen Transcend will change it
@@slothonastick32 then legion is ugly also, bcs i use the most good looking laptop which is rog strix g16.
@@arthasfrost
well omen is owned by americans, legion is owned by chinese
that's the difference
I would be curious about the medium and long-term effects of a backend exhaust on the screen and associated cabling and hinges.
I'm still using my Legion 7 2021 with 3070+R7 in architecture, can't say I needed more for 3D rendering and CAD stuff than this. I chose it because it has a full numpad and a well built chassis. Although I really like Legion 9, maybe considering switching for the sake of owning a decent fancy stuff. Kudos to Lenovo (and yeah the numpad comes in clutch for archi works) ❤
I had 2 Asus Scar Strix laptops, ver. II and III. Both had major issues. I've been using a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro for the last 5 years and I love it. Can't recommend it enough.
I'm running 2023 Legion Slim 7 AMD with 4060 and I love this machine, great performance and super quiet! Those 2024 versions look great as well, so one of those would be my pick if I needed a new laptop.
Same over here, the battery life is awesome: if I charge it at home it gets me through my 5 hours of study easily
Super quiet when playing games or just browsing and low load type stuff?
Same version here too. Love it. Watching this video made me kinda want the white 2024 model though. Haha
Very happy with my storm grey 2023 Legion Slim 7 (also AMD with 4060). Super fast, runs all my games, and professional look for when I bring to the office)
@@stefano78 is the jump from a 4060, 512 gb to a 4070, 1 tb worth like $600? Also, pls tell me the specs of your laptop.
Do you need to have the power cable plugged in to be able to fully use the graphics card, like in previous Legion Pro models? I always found that to be a pain. Still tied to a wall socket....😢
How do you enable the keyboard shortcut highlight? Is that an option on other Lenovo products? Thinkpads?
Thank you for these reviews. I had never heard of Lenovo before finding your channel and I've been so happy with my legion pro. I'm not going back to Alienware anytime soon.
You never heard of Lenovo before? Really? It's a well known brand
@@legostarlord_ My friend, the perception of anything being "well known" is relative to your age, media sources, circle of friends, industry, education level, and region in world. There are probably even more factors that I haven't listed which also contribute to someone's perception of what is and isn't well known.
Touche! If it helps in any way, I didn't mean to say it in a disrespectful way, or anything like that. I was just surprised
Laptops look really good this year. I want to get a new one this year but I have been waiting for the release of thunderbolt 5. I'm hoping that the port allows for more efficient performance of laptops with eGPU's. I have no clue how much better could this be (if any?).
If it's much better, I would be interested to have a more portable laptop with a good CPU and no GPU for my regular work, and then have the option to add the eGPU to the game at home.
So, do you guys think we'll see this type of product? And could it be a significant performance upgrade compared thunderbolt 3/4?
English is not my first language, I hope what I wrote makes sense 😅
Please don't mention that english is not your first language.
Its perfect.
But wait ..... 😊 did you use any ai translation tool 😊
Anyways cheers!!
Will you be checking out the HP Omen Transcend 14? They have an awesome white color option as well with great specs.
Wow....how did you get your review units so fast? When shall we expect a more detailed review?
I wish Lenovo would push for OLED screens for their laptops , would love to upgrade with that
Since ive had my 2070s 4k oled omen for a couple years...i cant really consider anything other than 4k oled. Its perfect for CPU temps since its 4k...and PVE titles never looked better. DLSS3 support and what can go wrong. 4k OLED a controller and a proper seating angle/stance. Only reason i need a desktop for gaming is for AAA/maxed out options...or games like EFT which is bogged by its engine and needs a strong single core performer. If i didnt have such a good PC i could easily enjoy older titles with the 4k laptop. Plus its a huge QOL boost for ARPGS and content consumption bar none. Id rather play arcade racers at 4k with lower textures than something maxed on a lower resolution the image quality and colors just POP to a point where higher textures/shaders almost seem negligible at lower resolutions by comparison.
That Legion 7i is looking very nice. I still don’t understand why they don’t go for that brushed metal finish on the Pro models…
2021 edition was my favorite style 🤩
@@DaleBall2 mine was 2022 (gen 7)
Do you use an atem mini to switch between overhead and a-roll in real time, or do you do it in post?
A full covered laptop review in just 6min and some seconds... That's very pleasurable to watch, yet check mark every important aspect!
5 Stars worth channel👍🏾
Careful, not a review, just a sponsored preview, which omits any downsides.
my 2018 msi laptop also lights up all function keys when fn is pressed, so useful!
fr, msi had this feature and much more compared to other laptops. i have the msi gp75 leopard 9SE with i7-9750h and rtx 2060 its still awesome. and the keyboard is great. lenovo has good laptops ngl but msi has laptops with better price to performance
my 2021 msi laptop hinge broke after one year. they're not the same
that 7i is definetly worth looking at for me who is going to college and needing a new laptop that can handle 3D-CAD and also software developement but also some gaming.
kewl tahnks for the inputy mr robot
1:44 I believe that's the 2022 🤔 still a great early look video tho!
More in-depth review of these pleas.
Loving my Legion 7i Pro (2023) with the RTX 4080 🔥
Just got the same config ordered. Can't wait!
@@cryptojihadi265 How is your experience so far? I ordered one last night.
Are the RAM memories removable or soldered onto the motherboard?
Are there any models with AMD processors planned in the future?
RAM is upgradeable. Not sure about AMD versions.
I just upgraded to 64gb of 5600 Gskill, but the speed reduces to 5200.
Hi Dave, thank you for review. How about 9i ? Will they do 2024 9i with 14th gen ?
If dave uploads, I click and watch it. Quality dope straightforward videos from this man.
Give us the robotaki intro Dave !
That one that goes :
Dududututoo dududututoo dududututoo tu tu tududoooo
😂😂 Dududududu
Looking forward to that Framework 16 review, for me Dave's word is final on whether I keep my pre-order
Don't listen to reviewers. The review units aren't final hardware. They couldn't send final units because of delays in production.
@@cameronbosch1213 I read the emails just the same as everyone else. But unfortunately I need something more solid than community good will for a $2500 purchase.
Hey Dave, I hope you get to review the Acer Aspire Vero 16 :) That could be an interesting device!
Hi Dave,
I was wondering if you are able to share whether the new 7i (non pro) is still all aluminum with a glass touchpad like the gen 8 or if they are scaling down the quality like they did with the pro model?
It's so depressing that we won't get AMD Advantage Editions of these.
I love the aesthetics, build and control software. I just don't want Nvidia or Intel.
Cry about it
Full AMD edition would be my choice if offered.
I still have the top-end model from 2022 with the 6900HX & 6850m XT and I love it. probably won't upgrade until they come out with another full AMD advantage.
Perhaps after Computex this year
For the premium charged for Intel and Nvidia you can step up performance in a AMD model. AMD is a no brainer at this point in tech
BEWARE! They are a freaking scam! I ordered one Lenovo legion 7i laptop and was delivered one with a broken screen. I reported the error within hours and was told I broke it even though the crack is on the inside of the laptop and I couldn't have caused that even if I wanted to! They have a few in stock and want to get rid of their defective pieces now, stay away! I am still stuck with that piece, approaching consumer court now. Notice the hashtag ad in the description here!
I would like to know the specs for the screen color and finger print system, are they included in this model?
is there any plan to do a comparison between the new Legion laptops and the new ASUS G14/16? I would love to see how they stack up this year.
Is there an AMD variant ? Cuz i would like better thermals.
I have the 2023 5i Pro with a 4070/7745hx and I can tell you the the thermals are NOT better. That baby cooks
@@kylerclarke2689 I can already tell you, its the nvidia gpu.
On the HS series yeah, amd will have better thermals since those chips are super efficient.
But HX, yeah mate they both are basically the same; just go with whatever's priced the best.
@@kylerclarke2689but technically better power consumption though right?
All that performance gain from dividing and conquering the airflow into one direction out? Wow.
It sounds like it's professional actually when you think about it it's not.
Sodimm slots on the non pro 7i's a major upgrade from the slim 7i
When will these go on sale ? When will they be available ?
the removal of ethernet is a deal breaker for me but the laptop is amazing
i too had the exact same thought until i realised you can just get a usbc - ethernet adapter. I'd still like the ethernet port but no longer a deal breaker for me
i have a question ragrd white laptops, i am thinking of buying the asus zephyrus in white but my question is, if the white is getting dirty over time like more and more yellow although i clean the laptop etc or can it stay white as long as i clean?
Do NOT buy white electronics, especially ones that you will have your hands all over. Yes they get dirty, scuffed, and show every speck of dust. They also yellow over time, there's no avoiding the effect of plain old light on white plastic. Source: every white mouse, controller, monitor, case I have ever owned (it was a phase)
I’ve only bought g14s, they don’t yellow they become darker after a few years but never ugly. Got the 2023 rn and it has the best paint so far, textured and everything. Easily my favorite laptop I’ve ever had
I guess this really varies depending on the materials and the exposure to factors like dirt, sweat or exposure to UV light.
I don't know how resistant to color change this laptop is, but I think that in most "common use cases" you might be safe as long as you clean it (But this is just my opinion, I could be wrong 🤷). I also agree with Kyle that if it does get dirty it will be easier to spot than darker colors.
@@torcuen7160i have a legion 5 2021 in white . As soon as i got it . I put transparent cover stickers over the lid and the inside and placed a keyboard cover on the keys . Ive had it for about 2 years now . Looks pristine.
@@kylerclarke2689 yeah but the Asus zephyrus is from aluminium not plastic, does the same thing happen to it?
I've been waiting for the new Slim replacement so I was really excited to see this video! The performance graphs were waaaaaaay too fast though. I kept having to rewind and pause
Just bought the 2023 model of the 7i pro as it was on sale for $600 off. It is really nice. I would recommend it. The 2024 is minor updates so I jumped on the sale.
No oled screen is a bummer
like not even an option to get one?
Is the trackpad still plastic?
?
The all white build is just clean
Chef kiss
Dave, can you please review the Omen 14 and 16 as well... Really anticipated for it's launch. I recently got the omen 16 but I wanna know how is the performance on the 14 as well cuz my brother is looking for a similar one to mine but more portable.
Is this a review or just an info video? Cause I would like to hear Dave's thoughts on the performance, battery life compared to other similar laptops and pricing. Especially price, cause these new laptops look very expensive.
It's a sponsored video, so...
white laptop is my dream, probably my next one will be that colour
How are you liking the Alienware pro wireless gaming mouse? I've had it for about a month now and I really like it, the keyboard as well.
Is there an "iGPU-only" mode? Also, is there a video output port that's not hardwired to the dGPU?
I purchased a M3 MacBook last November, but I would’ve definitely chose the White 7i had it came out sooner 🙌🏾
Oh baby Dave 2 Dashing
Cringe 😬
Nice to see the pros battery got better!
Love the full white and it has a keypad too!
Hi, always loved your videos, but I must say I'm quite disappointed you make more and more sponsored videos. I understand you must take benefits of your incredible and high quality work, but maybe you could accept sponsors not directly related to the product you're presenting ? Looks too much like an advertisement.. Anyway, thanks again for you amazing job
Why are you speaking so much faster than before? Are you in a hurry?
I just bought the 2023 Slim 7 AMD a few weeks ago LOL. Love mine but watching this video I kinda wanted that 2024 white model.
What is the case material of the Legion Pro 7i? Last year they moved away from all aluminum and the keyboard deck suffered from more flex and fingerprint. Is this more of the same carbon fiber / magnesium that we see in the ThinkPad P series line?
if you press it hard like you're on steroids you'll see the flexing. just put your hand on the keyboard normally, it's literally not flexing.
Love them, just got the 2023 Pro 5i no complaints so far.
New 2024 models look really cool but… still no thunderbolt ?
can you do a video on your aquarium behind please? it looks so beautiful.
The white design is really cool! Very nice hardware, all these need now is some good software.
Hey Dave! We need your review on the Galaxy 24 phones, pleaseeeee.
This feels like a step back though. One of the things that I love on my Legion are the ports in the back - no messy cables on sides, with exception of maybe the headphones. And losing ethernet alltogether? Feels like cheaping out on a pretty expensive machine.
The white color looks pretty great, but overall feelings - not that great :/
WOW it's possible to make full size arrow keys
It must been a genius make the arrow key design!
Nice informative video, with useful insights. Lot of echo though...
white and alum inium looks pretty awesome
When do they come out?
Wow, the slim replacement looks great. There's a whole market of people out there who want a capable laptop that isn't festooned with RGB and decals, etc. I think this will do really well.
Sad to see that Lenovo are continuing to use their square-tip DC power supply instead of 240w USB-C PD3.1 though.
Loooove the designs!
When are these new models supposed to be released?
I’ve got the legion 5 pro with the 4060 and i9-14900HX and it’s a beast honestly
Where is this to buy? You should have included the buying link
Please do a video on the HP Omen Transcend 14
how are the speakers?
When can we start ordering some of these “new” Laptops in the US?
They fixed thermo contact to chips, thus better cooling. I have 22-th model with 5800H and it's hot in turbo boost about 100c. So I disabled boost.
What do you do with the models after you get them
Are you getting the new Lenovo hybrid 2n1 android windows laptop when it launches?
