After tons of research got 5i pro i7-12700H / 3070ti / 16 GB DDR5 / 512GB on a recent price reduction for $1599. My first mid tier gaming laptop. Arrives tomorrow and hope it satisfies the itch. Can upgrade the storage/ram later when needed. Plan is for a long term laptop for the next couple years. Hope I get a good QC one (spin the wheel).
@@zehahaha2899 -Loving it!!! Already added a 2TB Gen4 disk. Screen is phenomenal. Got lucky I guess - zero light bleed no dead pixels. Lots of ports. i7 12th Gen is a beast. Plan to do ram upgrade later. 3070ti is plenty powerful for my needs. The only two downsides are the huge power brick (minor) and battery life (major or minor depending on needs). Should have come with a 99k battery. May look and research if it can ugraded. 12th Gen is a battery hog. Overall - great mid tier option. Highly recommend. Happy with the purchase and hopefully it lasts for a few years.

Your video seems to suggest this laptop doesn't do usb charging. It does the USB C port on the back is 135W PD. Obviously that's not going to keep that battery topped up at max performance like the 300W AC brick.
@@DeepRest121 damn that’s a steal! I just ordered my Gen 7 legion 5i pro i7 12700h, rtx 3070 ti, 2tb ssd, 16gb ram for $1596. Now I feel like I overpaid lmao

yes , and it really depends on the game and how knowledgable are u with ur cpu/gpu capabilities to not damage ur setup which I recommend to search it up or stick to the default option in the vantage software (100MHZ and 200MHZ)
It’s truly pretty good around like 5-6 hours when not gaming. But in game you’ll want performance mode which will kick you down a notch in battery life
The acer predator is horrible gpu watage you got to watch out gpu watage laptopmedia where I go to check gpu watage on laptops this laptop is 140 wats for legion i5 pro i think the predator is only 115 wats
Kindly advice please, I am confused about the laptop to go between (1) Lenovo legion 5i pro of i7 12th Intel processor with RTX 3070ti(8vram) and (2) Lenovo Legion 7 of AMD Ryzen 7 5800 with RTX 3080 (16vram)? The legion 7 is 1896euros while the legion 5i pro is 1916euros. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
What that’s so cheap for those specs of a legion 7. Get the legion 7. I just got the same spec legion 5i pro for around £1300 but that was cheap compared to everywhere else and it’s still around 2000 most places and the legion 7s of similar specs or better are much more than 2000
They have the best configuration with the 3070, 32gb ram and 2tb ssd for $2150 right now! Plus an extra 100 off and if you use rakuten and I'd me it's another 10% off. So all together before tax it's like $1800.
Bought this last week.best laptop I ever had.sleek looks and all cables om the back.
i just bought this amazing machine for $1229 with i7 12700H , rtx 3070 , 16 Gb DDR5 and 1TB SSD cant wait to receive the shipment
bought mine for $936 used like new with taxes. Cant wait to get my hands on it!

@@ftlaud911 Glad to hear, I intend on purchasing mine next month. I hope the gaming performance is great.
In my case it actually is a replacement for a desktop I've had since ~2016
The laptop microphone is really good
Its really good for video editing also tech notice will use it for production

True, more of a trickle charging solution to keep you topped off in lighter usage situations, but is available
I got mine for 1400$ a week ago, love the Lenovo though never going back to MSI
From where? Looking at walmart for $1600
Does yours have rtx 3060 tho?! Haven’t seen a 3070 ti that low anywhere…

Just picked this up from B&H for 1400 shipped. It'll be here Friday!
Amazing Video! Keep up with the great content!
Thanks!
@@TechRoundUpCould you edit the video where you mentioned it doesn't have type C charging? (It actually does have it)
I found the speakers to be very weak. Doesn't get loud at all. Maybe a setting or the model that I have.
Should I buy the ryzen or the intel model, are the i7 thermals THAT bad?
Which did you end up buying? And how is it holding up so far? 😊

does the gpu overclock option void the warranty?
and does it really differ in performance?
yes , and it really depends on the game and how knowledgable are u with ur cpu/gpu capabilities to not damage ur setup which I recommend to search it up or stick to the default option in the vantage software (100MHZ and 200MHZ)
How the battery life when in quiet mode?

wait what !!! only hour ot two when gaming that to low i thought it will be around 4 hours !!!😨😓
Get the AMD VERSION
What is the max ram 2x16 or 2x32
2x16 max
@@TechRoundUp ok thanks
People have been getting 64 to work. Lenovo just ships at a max of 32

That is a super cool gaming laptop, but it is not ergonomic like a gaming laptop from Ergotauri.
To save $800, I would definitely go with the Acer Predator!!
Haha oO u are Not getting anything near this thing for less 💸
i can play games on nintendo switch for hours without charging and it weight less than half kg
Try playing Cyberpunk at 1600p ultra settings on your Switch 😂
@@andreamartano1563yeah LMAO or try starfield at max settings
