Title "avoid this cpu" Entire review "everything is fine with it and it can keep up with higher tiers of cpu. Just that battery life is bad" Who the hell even comes up with these stupid titles ?
The battery life is bad because the CPU lacks integrated graphics. That's why you avoid it. Apparently everyone in this comment thread didn't bother to watch the video.
I unplug mine sometimes when I want the fan to STFU, since it's the only way I found to actually make it run on less power / heat and make the fan quiet. The "performance settings" don't seem to change anything. Performance unplugged are barely impacted but the fan either stops or barely turns. Not a "gaming laptop" though. Lenovo Ideapad with Ryzen 5 5625U and integrated graphics. It plays some games, up to Deep Rock Galactic. I hate noise. This laptop in the video is actually interesting since it runs so cool and quiet. But too expensive for me. I'll keep my potato laptop for now unless some very good opportunity comes by.

You are getting 4050/4060 at the price of 3050 by sacrificing 30 minute battery life. 😂 Why should we complain? * No battery sacrifice as compared to Intel HX. Even without iGPU this Amd one has more battery life than intel.
@@galahad5688 then one rather get a desktop lol laptop, no matter gaming or office, should be able to be portable with little to worry about battery life
Step 1 download afterburner step 2 lock the clock at a non boost clock speed. step 3 undervolt until you reach the same power consumption of the iGPU while doing everyday tasks (7-15w) step 4 save the profile so, when you are doing document your 4060 will act at half speed like a normal igpu. When you game, switch the profile and enjoy your powerful external GPU. Problem solved.
the 4060 is officialy stated to run at a minimum of 35w. and undervolt that extreme will never work. plus 99% of users wont even know what you are talking about if you tell them about this, it is extrememly predatory for the masses
@@davitdavid7165 it's minimum 35w when 100% of use. Not 35w when idle state. So if you lock the clock and do a massive undevolt you'll probably don't get the 3w power like an iGpu but you can have a massive uplift in battery life while being able to do all the normal tasks. Ps: windows and Informatics need skills. It's a choice to be an informed consumer or not
Luckily it's doesn't solve the issues, while using igpu only, on idle battery life still sucks. There's an issue on motherboard, some part draw more power, causing overheat and later motherboard getting fried. It's on every LOQ 15xx model, my local lenovo repair center already confirmed there's a lot of cases like this
Bro please can you give me your insta ID so we can talk about the laptop I really need some suggestions from you if you have this laptop already please respond
To be fair, with laptops like this, battery life is expected to be poor, even with ones with integrated graphics. People who buy gaming laptops usually plug it in most of the time to utilize the performance. The main feature of them is the simple portability of the system compared to that of a desktop. Fair point that battery life is abysmal, but the intended audience of them shouldn't care too much
@roadrunnerroadi ok but, which line of notebook is it though? sorry to ask but one of the first things to get cut is the battery size, that's why,, among other things, some notebooks are almost the same hardware wise yet one costs more.
I ordered this laptop with same specs but with more ssd. The reason I don’t care is because I wont be existing where there are no power outlets. Yes it is nice to have more battery life, but those laptops that given considerable battery life (and have higher screen resolutions) cost several hundred dollars more. I want to use it at several places, but I have power outlets and external monitors there. So I have to critique your title as too click baity.

You literally gave me a heart attack since i bought this in amazon and it'll arrive in a few days... I thank a lot the comment section for making me feel better before watching the whole video.
True what Jarrod said. I just bought this laptop (infact I watched this video on it) and while the gaming performance is expected from 4060, the battery life is pretty bad. To workaround it, I always use battery saver mode when i'm using for office works which can last me for 4 - 6 hour and that is enough for me. I don't think there's any reason to ever play games without it plugged on a laptop IMO.
Worrying about battery life in a laptop that's supposed to be used for gaming and not really all that portable is kind of like worrying about your SUV being good enough for hardcore off-roading when you're literally never going to do any off-road because you live in a downtown area. Also, kind of annoying at this point to call anything above 500 USD "low tier". How long until you start refering to 2000 USD laptops as "budget"? That said, this one is a bit pricy for what it is. I love those thermals for sure. They got that right, and plenty of gaming laptops don't get anywhere near those metrics, even with lower specs.
Wrong example. If you have a sports car, obviously it goes fast but you still expect it to run a certain distance before having to refill it... If every 20km it has to be refilled, its not a car really since the main use of the car is to travel long distances. The main purpose of a laptop is to be able to use it away from the wall. The longer the better
@@TheAmanor123 That's how you use your laptop. I use mine to go on vacation or to play at a LAN party, in that way I can deal with the bulk of it. Since it's a gaming-ish one, it's not really that portable and of course it's battery life is decent but nothing off the charts. I don't expect it to be because it's not what I expect from it. Your sports car comparison makes absolutely no sense by the way.

You don't buy gaming laptops for battery life. You buy them because they have kickass graphics cards! I just bought the Lenovo LOQ Ryzen 5 version of this laptop, and it is awesome! If you look at the internals, there was a lot of very cool engineering involved. The rear cooling exhaust is nice, because it doesn't burn my legs. You can switch between performance modes with one key press. In "quiet mode", it uses about 40 watts when not gaming, and 60-80 watts when gaming. Performance mode uses more power and the fans run louder. The Geekbench CPU scores for my Ryzen 5 are about the same as a Ryzen 7 with integrated graphics, and the GPU scores are four times as high. The color accuracy is also much better than on other laptop screens. I would definitely buy this laptop again, and I would also buy the Ryzen 7 that's in this video.
For anyone who was thinking to buy but after this video is reluctant let me assist you all.. this is best laptop for gaming at this price point if your budget is higher then no question you can have whichever you want but for the price normally a gamer would not game unplugged and still it gives 3 hour battery life at 60 whr battery ...and similar graphics with intell 12450h also last the same on battery despite having igpu so chill and i have used this laptop the thermals are actually really good cpu usage never go above 60 percent and gpu temp always below 70 degrees so for long term its a good point to consider.
Absolutely agree with you. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and I am surpised with gaming performance but also on how quiet and smooth it is when on balanced mode. We should always compare apples to apples: this is a budget gaming laptop not a pro and in its price range there are barely one or two alternatives to compare with.
My personal experience with AMD is superb after roughly 2 months of intensive use. I think the entire point of the video is off. The only limitations I came across with this configuration (7435 and RTX 4060) are low lugg when in Ray tracing mode and mediocre speakers. Probably similar experience with i5 minus the bricked motherboard scare that is associated with loq machines and intel cpus. If battery life is that important you should compare the 2.5 hrs autonomy here with probably a maximum of 4 hrs with intel. It's up to someone's priorities with a bulky gaming laptop
@@JarrodsTech For a gaming laptop? I think people who cared about sitting without a cord are getting thin and lights. People buying a gaming laptop I don't suspect are ever going to be 3 hours away from an outlet
I saw this video yesterday and I still bought this exact model today 😊 I'm gonna be plugged in all the time anyway and $799 for a 4060 Laptop is pretty epic. I was gonna get a 4050 model until I saw this price. Great video with good information!
I was sniffing around Best Buy yesterday while out for groceries and stunbled upon an LOQ just clearance priced @ $316. I asked for one and was told they went on sale that morning and were sold out -so I asked about the display unit. He said same price for just laptop and power -OK, but after about an hour of reset, they rung it up $120! It’s the 7840HS with the GTX4050. Now I ordered another 8G 5600MT SODIMM and a fast NVME gen4 storage to fill the spare slots. I think the LOQ got dised by influences because it shipped without dual channel ram. I was looking for thin and light, but I already have an M1 MBA for that purpose. PRICE first!
the only aspect with batterly life that comes to mind is being a student and wanting to limit your carry/weight/bag footprint TBH...and well most students that also want to game...are willing to make compromises......theyll consider bringing a type c charging brick...or a plug-able type c portable charger and sit near an outlet etc...if necessary and on a tight budget...theyll adapt/overcome XD....but TBH if you set the screen to 60hz/automatic when unplugged and lower brightness for some note/taking building a study guide off a lecture or etc...some 3d/modeling design or engineering majors....they can still get good use out of a laptop/battery with a mux and a brick to charge/sustain over a course of early college when theyre enduring many class/hours etc. OFC at home or etc at the apt/dorm etc they can have a dedicated desk/workstation to charge and external monitor etc to maximize their systems viability. PPL act like 10 years ago the majority of students didnt have to be plugged in using laptops etc frankly...and a system like this on a budget is no exception to the POTENTIAL value and viability to someone that wants a laptop that can also game to enjoy their free time on a tight/limiited budget Or have to settle for some kind of thin/n light ultrabook or a macbook + a console for gaming at home. TBH even gaming portables are pretty interesting since you can use an e-gpu enclosure for at home/monitor/tv needs...(opposed to an ipad+ keyboard from a cost/range standpoint)and still have a mini/portable pc for lighter workloads like jotting down notes or using some cloud/based suites etc for school+ its storage viability. Possibly a plug/in foldable keybaord just for those school/tasks then boom the "mandatory" station for larger workloads and gaming. I mean engineering and design majors do benefit from a beefier system no doubt...typically going to an apple M chip these days...but for ppl that want to game....the LOQ/nitro/victus still offer a good budget/value for those that TRULY need it. I mean if i lived in an urban area, took public transit was a working student...id have to lean more towards a thin n light that i would just charge my brick/during class and periodically type-c charge the laptop when travling in my bag or at work etc...just to maximize portability and everyday carry/footprint. But i would invest towards a lighter setup from a QOL standpoint...or go with a non gaming laptop out of budget/constraints and priority to weight/savings and battery life.

I am one of those here who have actually bought it. I made a conscious choice of sacrificing battery life for performance being on a tight budget. The title of the video is a bit of a let-down for us owners, but you actually point some of its merits through your review. My experience with the machine confirms your data. So I think a fair presentation would be to place the product in a "value for money" context.

@@Raikou1914Καλησπέρα φίλε μου. Αγόρασα ακριβώς αυτό που παρουσιάζει ο Jarrod εδώ, δηλαδή amd 7435hs με κάρτα 4060. Εάν το θέλεις για gaming σκίζει, τρέχει τα πάντα ακόμα και σε ultra settings αλλά ξεχνάς το τροφοδοτικό στην πρίζα. Σε μπαταρία δεν βγάζει ούτε 30 λεπτά gaming. Για σερφαρισμα κλπ με το ζορι 3 ωρες. Ο λόγος είναι ότι ο amd που φοράει δεν έχει κάρτα γραφικών οπότε όλα περνάνε από την nvidia η οποια βεβαια ρουφαει ρευμα. Άλλο προβληματάκι είναι τα ηχεία. Θα αποδώσουν μόνο όταν έχεις ανοιχτή μια app που συνοδεύει το laptop αλλά και πάλι έχω ακούσει πολύ καλύτερα. Για τα λεφτά του είμαι super ικανοποιημένος γνωριζοντας όμως ότι ουσιαστικά ειναι deskrop replacement. Έχει βγάλει όντως και η asus ένα tuf με τα ίδια specs οπότε διαλέγεις αυτό που σου ταιριάζει αισθητικά. Πάντως για τα loq του 2024 ακούστηκαν πολλά για καμμενα motherboards (ειδικά όσα φοράνε intel) . Εάν θέλεις καλύτερη αυτονομία μπαταρίας και λίγο καλύτερα specs υπάρχει στη loq σειρά νέος επεξεργαστής amd 8 με integrated graphics , όπου να' ναι θα βγει και Ελλάδα. Εμένα με ένοιαζε μόνο το θέμα τιμής και από αυτήν την άποψη είναι super. Τώρα έπαιζα plague tale και πιάνει χαλαρά 110 fps με ultra graphics. Οθόνη OK όχι κατι τρομερό αλλά ούτε χάλια. Ελπίζω να βοήθησα!

M using this laptop, and so far i dont miss the igpu. with some gpu undervolting, and power saving mode, i can do intensive work for 2 hours, and less intensive work for 3.5 hours... If you play games, this is beast and temprature is also very very low due to lack of igpu cpu runs cooler. backup is still more than my previous nitro 5 with 5600h. display is amazing and gsync & 100%srgb really makes a difference. i dont notice any ghosting or motion blur while playing games.. You can just buy a 65w or 100w charger and charge it anywhere via type c if concerned about battery life.

At the time of this comment, among LOQ laptops, these AMD variants without iGPU might be the best option. The 7000 series variants with iGPU are all out of stock, the 8000 series variants are just too expensive, and the Intel variants have a high risk of motherboards dying (one guy on reddit had 5 mobo replacements).

Sorry mate but I think on this occasion, you're DEAD WRONG!! I've used all my gaming laptops almost exclusively for gaming whilst plugged into a wall socket. I have zero use for an iGPU. If I want to look at the internet or watch The Boys, I'll do it either on my phone or the TV. And this LOQ 15 has one humongous advantage over other gaming laptops...its price!

I predict it will sell like hot cakes despite your 'avoid' recommendation.
Hi there. I owe this one too and I am surprised by its performance and value. I am also surprised by the torrent of negative feedback this machine attracts by "experts"! Anyway.

Here you can get the Victus with a 4060 for £899 but that comes with a crappy i5-12500H & a 250 nit screen...and that's STILL £200 more than I paid for my LOQ.

No, this laptop is amazing. Who uses gaming laptops on battery when they are specifically designed to be used while plugged in? Gaming laptop batteries are not made for long-term use without being plugged in; they are only meant to be used in emergencies. Another plus point is that when a laptop doesn't have an integrated GPU (iGPU), the dedicated GPU (dGPU) directly displays the image on the screen, which significantly improves performance. That's why some high-end laptops have a MUX switch. Also checking prices of all laptops comparing it with also important
My main PC has a Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU and it's a beast lmao, it's a mini PC, it's surprising to see that some AMD CPUs aren't that great, my 7840Hs is so powerful(for a mobile CPU).
Its not that some cpus arent great, its just that the video has no legit point whatsoever and its completely trash It like arguing that 13900kf is bad compared to 13900k only because lacking almost useless graphics. Any of these 7000 series arent great anyways but for totally different reason and that is that they have only 16mb l3 cache and so are worse than deskt0p 5000 series.
@@filippetrovic845 he said its bad for people who use the laptop on battery, if you don't then you are not targeted , and it's good for you actually its bad, since there are other laptops with a 7840hs with better cpu performance and an igpu and for cheaper, so why would you get the worse cpu anyway

When I saw this online I thought the CPU name was a typo. I wouldn't necessarily avoid this for my use case as I mostly use gaming laptops as a desktop replacement that, if I really needed to, I can just disconnect and pack without the clunkiness of SFF + portable monitor that would sit even lower on the table. That said...how many people would actually get this knowingly? While a lot more people than you'd think need the battery more as a back up power (to save and shut down) or for short busts of working away from the wall, I imagine most people buying gaming laptops as desktop replacements that totally won't care about the battery life are way more likely to get a bigger laptop than a Loq not just for the screen but for the cooling and performance. If this was 2018 or so they'll just put this CPU in a bigger chassis and call it a day, but when you've got 16cores in a G17 or even more (albeit due to eCores) on a Scar18 or a Titan, couldn't they have just marketed this CPU to, say, MinisForum? I'd take this in a miniPC with a dGPU, or that mITX board with a laptop CPU that just needs a regular 120mm fan and the built-in cooler to stay cool (at the very least you wouldn't need to go digging online what top-down cooler fits on what motherboard depending on RAM - not like a desktop CPU in such an SFF build will sustain 5.0ghz+ all core anyway).
To be honest, I use my gaming laptop 99% of the time sitting on a desk and plugged into mains power, with the graphics permanently switched to the dedicated GPU. Gaming laptops are more of a desktop replacement anyway, as they are too cumbersome to use on the go.

Yeah that's not really the point, I agree gaming on battery power is dumb (though people do it), it's more about using the battery for other tasks, like just watching a movie or going to school/work etc.
On the upside... not need for mux This is also why im thinking about getting a pre owned laptop off ebay instead of official retailers. Models in AU just suck
It's a shame au gets the short stick when it comes to technology. Before samsung s24 all previous models were exynos which sucked. Internet speeds aren't great and now laptop cpu just aren't good
That first chart highlighting the huge difference in battery life between the 7435HS & other CPUs only applies if you're watching cat videos on RUclips. If you take those lines away & compare battery life whilst playing The Witcher 3, then it paints a very different picture indeed. The LOQ lasts 103 minutes on battery which is more or less what ALL the laptops last! And there's the rub...this is a GAMING LAPTOP who's prime function is playing games. If your focus is watching RUclips on a long distance flight to Oz, just buy a dirt cheap Chromebook!
Honestly Gaming laptop are majorly used for gaming and task where GPU performance is heavily required. and without plugging the charger, all gaming laptop are useless. for productive task i will highly recommend Apple laptops. this laptop is worth every single penny. getting 144 hz , RTX 4060 with 24 GB ram and AMD 7 under $900 is a steal. ❌Do not go for Intel variant, some model faced dead mother issues ( manufacturing defects) also Intel processors are power hungry beast. just build a PC with Intel but when it comes down to laptops AMD should be preferred.
Hey Jarod! Do you know a good power bank or alternative to charge a gaming laptop when traveling? As you know, gaming laptop batteries are quite quick to run out. How do you deal with this?
Because of pricing and availability here, this was the one laptop I could get for a decent price compared to overseas pricing. Since I mostly use it plugged in as a sort of desktop away from home or for very light and brief workloads unplugged, it's fine for me. I see a lot of the comments making this seem a lot worse than it actually is despite the review itself not being that negative.
I should have talked more about the naming scheme, because this is a perfect point - the 7535HS has fewer cores and threads, so it's actually a lower tier part as far as raw CPU performance goes, but it has an iGPU and has a higher number than the 7435HS, so people may just assume it's better in every way.
Here in the UK it was about £200 cheaper than the Ryzen 7 8845HS version last week and cheaper than the Intel ARC version, so ordered it for £645 with RTX 4060 and 1TB drive. There doesn't seem to be anything close in price here with an RTX 4060 and although the screen isn't that bright at least the sRGB coverage is decent, better than the some of the other lower budget systems. For this price I think the lack of iGPU compromise is fine, although worth warning people about it.
for me the lack of iGPU is a plus, one less thing to disable, since i always check if a laptop has a mux switch or no iGPU before i settle on buying it.
@@arvindsingh2168 So that i can disable the iGPU during gaming, editing or any GPU intensive tasks also i detest Optimus since it was launched. YMMV as always and for me when buying gaming laptops having MUX switch or no IGPU the better. Gaming laptops in my opinion should not have Optimus
Glad you mentioned it, because I was sick of explaining it to other people shouting: “Look at the price!”. I already informed my audience a few days ago that I would not post any offer of a laptop with Ryzen 5 7235HS + Ryzen 7 7435HS processors.
Jarrod don't feel bad about the snarkey comments. Your review is valid and gave me information that I needed. I'm looking for an everyday laptop that can second as an occasional gamer. This laptop here would not be for me. I want the internal gpu. Thanks for the review! I think it's a bit underhanded by Lenovo to not make it more clear on this model. Some are going to be disappointed.
People don't by gaming laptop battery life and if you enable the Nvidia battery saving features then you will get very similar to an integrated vpu from Intel
@@AlphaNova25 well, I did post this about a month I go, I'm pretty sure it was about a laptop and it's battery life and if that's what you're talking about, then you can go and looking at video app and you can change the battery life settings and then you can actually get half decent battery life from your gaming laptop. My comment though not very well worth. It was supposed to say that gamey laptops are not designed as office computers. You're obviously not going to get the best backs your life out of them. And I am guilty of that.. I just spent three and a half thousand pounds on the laptop with two hours. Battery life and well it's my own fault, really? Because I'm using it for letters and work are for its entangled purpose, which was gaming. You can get better life out of the gaming laptop. You just have to be a bit more clever about it. You have to change the CPU settings to throttle it to like five percent when on battery and you have to do the same with your graphics card in the settings menus of the Nvidia app. It's not a gnarkey comment I was serious don't buy gaming laptops for works. I made that mistake. You're not going to get amazing. The battery life out of it. And well, that's just the way they are. And that's what annoyed me about the video.
I literally came across this CPU in a similar LOQ model and was really surprised to see the cheaper than lower price considering it's just a rebranded 6800H. Now I know why. Thanks Jared. You're the GOAT
By their own "Ryzen 7000" mobile naming graph the 7435HS should be a Ryzen 3 even though no H or HS Ryzen CPU is a Ryzen 3 It being a 16 thread chip that has a model name below the 12 thread 7535HS doesn't help either Don't get me started on the "Ryzen 5 *7235HS* "
A thing to take notice, any laptop after 3 or 4 years will have its battery life very reduced...and only crazy people play games in laptops outside home(or the place you are staying) so its a no issue.
@@unionofslavstanrepublics2317 its a moot point anyways, desktop replacement have never seen battery life as a crucial department, rather the mobile workstation needs

Bro please can you give me your insta ID so we can talk about the laptop I really need some suggestions from you if you have this laptop already please respond
I guess because it's better than wasting the chips, might as well try use them for something. The only issue I have with it is unless you know what a 7435HS is, you'd probably just buy it without knowing the limit of no iGPU.
I think the battery dies just as fast plugged out and turned OFF, as it does running at idle. It will seriously die while turned off, not in sleep or hibernation mode, but completely powered off. About 10 percent in a half hour. So if you've got it charged up and ready to use it for a flight, you're out of luck if you don't charge it right before the flight. I immediately installed my own SSD with a fresh instal of windows, so if there is something I need to do to stop or improve that, I would greatly appreciate. Other than that, it is a great computer, I'm happy.
i have a intel 13700H + RTX4079 i tried disabling integrated graphics and test battery.. it has barely any different maybe 5% more at best.. so i disabled it and always runs on dgpu only mode. that way i have access to nvidia gsync and other options all the time as well. so for me this not having integrated is not an issue
Can we refund a lenovo laptop even if it hasn't had any problem yet? I had the LOQ 15IRX9 with i5-13450hx 3050 one, its been 2 months since i bought it online but i havent had any issue other than the battery drop. (I'm scared of the motherboard issue thats happening nowadays)😢
Theres a major issue with the LOQ series I bought this specific laptop and Its motherboard died 5 days after it was delivered, i talked to the service executive , they said they lodged a complaint but its been 12 days now and still no response from their side. Im highly disappointed by the fact that i had put a considerable amount of money to buy this laptop online for first time only to have this brutal issue. Please don't take the risk.

Bro do you intel or this ryzen version? PLEASE REPLY ASAP I'm planning to buy this laptop. If ryzen version too have mobo dead issue then I guess I have to drop the plan
I own this Laptop but with 1TB SSD, I got it on sale for 825€ incl. tax & shipping. Yes, the battery life is short and I already knew that, when I bought it. But for me it's the best compromise out of mobility and price. I also really like the ability to use a more compact 100W USB C charger.
I would go with a laptop like this but is there any difference in thermals/fan noise when compared to laptops with integrated graphics with or without a mux switch? Also is there any meaningful change in battery life with an AMD gpu?
I didn't bother with the full fan recording setup just basic thermals here, but I can't say I noticed or thought about it during testing, didn't seem any louder.
i have it for about 2 months , super nice laptop, low temps great performance !Before that i had an hp victus with ryzen 5 5600h and gtx 1650 and for some reason the loq lasts longer unplugged ,in gaming it is certain that lasts longer and in youtube most likely !I do not know exactly why but it is 100 % true!Also it does play in the same settings and almost same fps plugged and unplugged which was not the case with the old one which did have integrated graphics! Cpu and gpu is super conservartive in power might be the reason.
Might as well save money on the 7840HS if it's available for less money, almost the same thing in terms of performance shown in this video with the Legions.
I bought a Legion 5 slim with this CPU from Micro Center. I regret it because the only reason I bought a laptop is to do assignments between classes and I'm a commuter, so I need the battery to last all day without charging if I'm not playing games on it. Instead, the best I can get out of it is about 3 hours even with battery saver turned on. Carrying the 5 lb laptop with the 2 lb charger on top of everything else I have to carry is too much. I have a gaming desktop at home, so I don't need the laptop to be super powerful, but I absolutely need the battery to last a long time. That's why I'm returning this one and trying out a Legion 5 with an 8845HS. Apparently, the battery can last between 5 and 12 hours for non-gaming tasks. If that doesn't work out, I might try the Zephyrus G14.
You already have a gaming desktop, why did you buy a gaming laptop and expected it to last a day without charging it? If you are not playing games then get a non gaming laptop like a surface or a macbook
Good day. I would like to inquire about the integrated graphics capabilities of the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 laptop equipped with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS Processor. Kindly provide me with the relevant specifications and confirm if the device indeed features integrated graphics. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Hey, Jarrod! Thanks for another amazing analysis video. Though I have a question about this laptop. Why could this laptop have such a low average temperature when compared to other 2023 LOQ 15 variants from your video with Intel CPU i7-13700H and RTX4060? Differences of more than 10°C on both CPU and GPU on Performance Mode! That's amazing!
Of course, but we won't see it until next year, and then decent prices and availability will be months after launch, so depends if you want to actually use something anytime soon. 4080 should still offer excellent performance for years.
so far we only have rumors and most of those are on the desktop side. I do like the g16, but would probably ait till then. When we know more about the gpu and vendors are clearing out space and lowering prices more it might be a smart buy
4080 was such a huge leap for laptop gaming it can play things so well and now with dlss and frame generation on top of it I wouldn't worry about missing out. It's almost like a 3090 desktop gpu in a laptop which is crazy and 8-12 months waiting for the new laptops is a really long time you could be gaming so up to you.
Lol after looking for a laptop for weeks I finally decided on the Legion Slim 5 with Ryzen 7 7435HS & GeForce RTX 4070 and ordered it. The product description even highlights the MUX switch, which I had as a must. Efficiency to me is key, because I work from my van with a solar setup. I only checked the CPU's performance which seemed OK to me. 20W more to me means having to check the main battery more often. I even ordered all the parts to build my own DC-DC power supply for this to save a bit on conversion (in-)efficiency. This seems a bit dumb after learning what I know now :/
I thought this was a thing on intels new meme, where nothing you can do, just wait for the patch in august and hope your thing doesn't crash. either way, it doesn't affect me, my old busted laptop has one purpose and it's to feed my factorio addiction.
I wonder if that patch will go out for laptop cpu's since they said they aren't affected... at least that's kinda good news something is being done and addressed and may totally fix it instead of everything being up in the air with nothing said lol.

I unplug mine sometimes when I want the fan to STFU, since it's the only way I found to actually make it run on less power / heat and make the fan quiet.
The "performance settings" don't seem to change anything. Performance unplugged are barely impacted but the fan either stops or barely turns.
Not a "gaming laptop" though. Lenovo Ideapad with Ryzen 5 5625U and integrated graphics. It plays some games, up to Deep Rock Galactic.

To be fair, with laptops like this, battery life is expected to be poor, even with ones with integrated graphics. People who buy gaming laptops usually plug it in most of the time to utilize the performance. The main feature of them is the simple portability of the system compared to that of a desktop.
Fair point that battery life is abysmal, but the intended audience of them shouldn't care too much
My RTX 3060 with an core i7 10870h has the same poor battery life (it is just a gaming notebook).

True what Jarrod said. I just bought this laptop (infact I watched this video on it) and while the gaming performance is expected from 4060, the battery life is pretty bad. To workaround it, I always use battery saver mode when i'm using for office works which can last me for 4 - 6 hour and that is enough for me.

Worrying about battery life in a laptop that's supposed to be used for gaming and not really all that portable is kind of like worrying about your SUV being good enough for hardcore off-roading when you're literally never going to do any off-road because you live in a downtown area.
Also, kind of annoying at this point to call anything above 500 USD "low tier". How long until you start refering to 2000 USD laptops as "budget"? That said, this one is a bit pricy for what it is. I love those thermals for sure. They got that right, and plenty of gaming laptops don't get anywhere near those metrics, even with lower specs.
Wrong example. If you have a sports car, obviously it goes fast but you still expect it to run a certain distance before having to refill it... If every 20km it has to be refilled, its not a car really since the main use of the car is to travel long distances. The main purpose of a laptop is to be able to use it away from the wall. The longer the better
@@TheAmanor123 That's how you use your laptop. I use mine to go on vacation or to play at a LAN party, in that way I can deal with the bulk of it.

"Turns out teaching sand how to think is a trickey process". Best tech quote I've heard. Well done!
You don't buy gaming laptops for battery life. You buy them because they have kickass graphics cards! I just bought the Lenovo LOQ Ryzen 5 version of this laptop, and it is awesome! If you look at the internals, there was a lot of very cool engineering involved. The rear cooling exhaust is nice, because it doesn't burn my legs. You can switch between performance modes with one key press. In "quiet mode", it uses about 40 watts when not gaming, and 60-80 watts when gaming. Performance mode uses more power and the fans run louder. The Geekbench CPU scores for my Ryzen 5 are about the same as a Ryzen 7 with integrated graphics, and the GPU scores are four times as high. The color accuracy is also much better than on other laptop screens.
I would definitely buy this laptop again, and I would also buy the Ryzen 7 that's in this video.
For anyone who was thinking to buy but after this video is reluctant let me assist you all.. this is best laptop for gaming at this price point if your budget is higher then no question you can have whichever you want but for the price normally a gamer would not game unplugged and still it gives 3 hour battery life at 60 whr battery ...and similar graphics with intell 12450h also last the same on battery despite having igpu so chill and i have used this laptop the thermals are actually really good cpu usage never go above 60 percent and gpu temp always below 70 degrees so for long term its a good point to consider.
Absolutely agree with you. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and I am surpised with gaming performance but also on how quiet and smooth it is when on balanced mode. We should always compare apples to apples: this is a budget gaming laptop not a pro and in its price range there are barely one or two alternatives to compare with.
Shall I go with this or i5 12th gen intel cpu 4060gpu ??
My personal experience with AMD is superb after roughly 2 months of intensive use. I think the entire point of the video is off. The only limitations I came across with this configuration (7435 and RTX 4060) are low lugg when in Ray tracing mode and mediocre speakers. Probably similar experience with i5 minus the bricked motherboard scare that is associated with loq machines and intel cpus. If battery life is that important you should compare the 2.5 hrs autonomy here with probably a maximum of 4 hrs with intel. It's up to someone's priorities with a bulky gaming laptop

It’s the 7840HS with the GTX4050. Now I ordered another 8G 5600MT SODIMM and a fast NVME gen4 storage to fill the spare slots. I think the LOQ got dised by influences because it shipped without dual channel ram.

the only aspect with batterly life that comes to mind is being a student and wanting to limit your carry/weight/bag footprint TBH...and well most students that also want to game...are willing to make compromises......theyll consider bringing a type c charging brick...or a plug-able type c portable charger and sit near an outlet etc...if necessary and on a tight budget...theyll adapt/overcome XD....but TBH if you set the screen to 60hz/automatic when unplugged and lower brightness for some note/taking building a study guide off a lecture or etc...some 3d/modeling design or engineering majors....they can still get good use out of a laptop/battery with a mux and a brick to charge/sustain over a course of early college when theyre enduring many class/hours etc. OFC at home or etc at the apt/dorm etc they can have a dedicated desk/workstation to charge and external monitor etc to maximize their systems viability. PPL act like 10 years ago the majority of students didnt have to be plugged in using laptops etc frankly...and a system like this on a budget is no exception to the POTENTIAL value and viability to someone that wants a laptop that can also game to enjoy their free time on a tight/limiited budget Or have to settle for some kind of thin/n light ultrabook or a macbook + a console for gaming at home. TBH even gaming portables are pretty interesting since you can use an e-gpu enclosure for at home/monitor/tv needs...(opposed to an ipad+ keyboard from a cost/range standpoint)and still have a mini/portable pc for lighter workloads like jotting down notes or using some cloud/based suites etc for school+ its storage viability. Possibly a plug/in foldable keybaord just for those school/tasks then boom the "mandatory" station for larger workloads and gaming. I mean engineering and design majors do benefit from a beefier system no doubt...typically going to an apple M chip these days...but for ppl that want to game....the LOQ/nitro/victus still offer a good budget/value for those that TRULY need it. I mean if i lived in an urban area, took public transit was a working student...id have to lean more towards a thin n light that i would just charge my brick/during class and periodically type-c charge the laptop when travling in my bag or at work etc...just to maximize portability and everyday carry/footprint. But i would invest towards a lighter setup from a QOL standpoint...or go with a non gaming laptop out of budget/constraints and priority to weight/savings and battery life.

Good news for those of us in Europe; this Lenovo LOQ is or was just on sale for around €900 (RTX 4060, 24 GB DDR5, 1TB SSD) which is an excellent price (in Europe) for those specs and definitely worth the trade if you don't mind the lack of an iGPU. For comparison, the

This laptop is amazing for hot nations since the thermals are of insane quality

I am one of those here who have actually bought it. I made a conscious choice of sacrificing battery life for performance being on a tight budget. The title of the video is a bit of a let-down for us owners, but you actually point some of its merits through your review. My experience with the machine confirms your data. So I think a fair presentation would be to place the product in a "value for money" context. At least in Greece I couldn't find a more attractive option (including 3 years warantee and xbox ultimate pass for 3 months!) But yes, potential buyers should be warned about the limitations in autonomy.
Καλησπέρα πατριώτη ποιο μοντέλο πήρες αν μπορείς να μου πεις και από πού και αν είσαι ευχαριστημένος γιατί και εγώ σκέφτομαι να αγοράσω τώρα λάπτοπ και βλέπω το loq και το asus Tuf A15
@@Raikou1914Καλησπέρα φίλε μου. Αγόρασα ακριβώς αυτό που παρουσιάζει ο Jarrod εδώ, δηλαδή amd 7435hs με κάρτα 4060. Εάν το θέλεις για gaming σκίζει, τρέχει τα πάντα ακόμα και σε ultra settings αλλά ξεχνάς το τροφοδοτικό στην πρίζα. Σε μπαταρία δεν βγάζει ούτε 30 λεπτά gaming. Για σερφαρισμα κλπ με το ζορι 3 ωρες. Ο λόγος είναι ότι ο amd που φοράει δεν έχει κάρτα γραφικών οπότε όλα περνάνε από την nvidia η οποια βεβαια ρουφαει ρευμα. Άλλο προβληματάκι είναι τα ηχεία. Θα αποδώσουν μόνο όταν έχεις ανοιχτή μια app που συνοδεύει το laptop αλλά και πάλι έχω ακούσει πολύ καλύτερα. Για τα λεφτά του είμαι super ικανοποιημένος γνωριζοντας όμως ότι ουσιαστικά ειναι deskrop replacement. Έχει βγάλει όντως και η asus ένα tuf με τα ίδια specs οπότε διαλέγεις αυτό που σου ταιριάζει αισθητικά. Πάντως για τα loq του 2024 ακούστηκαν πολλά για καμμενα motherboards (ειδικά όσα φοράνε intel) . Εάν θέλεις καλύτερη αυτονομία μπαταρίας και λίγο καλύτερα specs υπάρχει στη loq σειρά νέος επεξεργαστής amd 8 με integrated graphics , όπου να' ναι θα βγει και Ελλάδα. Εμένα με ένοιαζε μόνο το θέμα τιμής και από αυτήν την άποψη είναι super. Τώρα έπαιζα plague tale και πιάνει χαλαρά 110 fps με ultra graphics. Οθόνη OK όχι κατι τρομερό αλλά ούτε χάλια. Ελπίζω να βοήθησα!
Μοντέλο loq 15 arp9 15" amd ryzen 7435 hs rtx 4060 , παίζει σε όλα τα καταστήματα αλυσίδες στα 999. Δεν μπορούσα να βρω καλύτερη τιμή για 4060 αλλά ήξερα ότι δεν θα βγάζει πολλή ώρα εκτός ρεύματος.
Εγώ ήμουν ανάμεσα στο lenovo loq 16 με ryzen 7 7840 που έχει μέσα ενσωματωμένα γραφικα (ryzen 7000) και την gtx 4050 με 16gb ram που σκέφτομαι να την επεκτείνω και το asus tuf A15 με τα ίδια χαρακτηριστικά με μόνη διαφορά τον επεξεργαστή τον ryzen 7 7735 όπου έχει και αυτός τα ίδια ενσωματωμένα γραφικά το λενοβο το βρήκα στα 900€ από το e-lenovo που δεν έρχεται με λειτουργικό (θα το εγκαταστήσω εγώ) και το asus στα 990€ που υπάρχει σε πολλά καταστήματα τώρα με απάντησε και ο jarrod όπου μου είπε να πάω στο lenovo loq και εγώ εκεί με βλέπω και λόγο οθονης 16 inches και παρόμοιων χαρακτηριστικών πιστεύεις είναι καλή αγορά; Το λάπτοπ το χρειάζομαι γιατί τον άλλο μήνα μπαίνω στο καράβι (μηχανικός εμπορικού ναυτικού) και το θέλω όσο μπορώ για τον ελεύθερο χρόνο για καμιά ταινία και κάνα παιχνίδι σε ευχαριστώ πολύ που μου απάντησες περιμένω την γνώμη σου να σε καλά
Κι εγώ το loq θα διάλεγα. Θεωρώ ότι απο performance θα είναι στα ίδια ακριβώς επίπεδα + ότι το laptop που σκέφτεται έχει δοκιμαστεί στην αγορά και δεν έχουν ακουστεί προβλήματα! Στη τιμή αυτή μην το πολυσκέφτεσαι. Καλό μπάρκο!
M using this laptop, and so far i dont miss the igpu. with some gpu undervolting, and power saving mode, i can do intensive work for 2 hours, and less intensive work for 3.5 hours... If you play games, this is beast and temprature is also very very low due to lack of igpu cpu runs cooler. backup is still more than my previous nitro 5 with 5600h. display is amazing and gsync & 100%srgb really makes a difference. i dont notice any ghosting or motion blur while playing games.. You can just buy a 65w or 100w charger and charge it anywhere via type c if concerned about battery life.
i have the same laptop, got the 170 w charger. Are you suggesting a 65w charger because the 170w is heavier or is it for some other reason.

At the time of this comment, among LOQ laptops, these AMD variants without iGPU might be the best option. The 7000 series variants with iGPU are all out of stock, the 8000 series variants are just too expensive, and the Intel variants have a high risk of motherboards dying (one guy on reddit had 5 mobo replacements). Almost feels like Lenovo created this situation on purpose

Sorry mate but I think on this occasion, you're DEAD WRONG!!
I've used all my gaming laptops almost exclusively for gaming whilst plugged into a wall socket. I have zero use for an iGPU. If I want to look at the internet or watch The Boys, I'll do it either on my phone or the TV.
And this LOQ 15 has one humongous advantage over other gaming laptops...its price! I paid £700 ($US 900) for mine which is already cheap. Had I waited another 4 weeks, I could have picked it up for £622 ($US 800).
I don't care if I'm in a minority of one but I absolutely applaud Lenovo & AMD for bringing this ultra cheap but very capable gaming laptop to the market. I predict it will sell like hot cakes despite your 'avoid' recommendation.
Hi there. I owe this one too and I am surprised by its performance and value. I am also surprised by the torrent of negative feedback this machine attracts by "experts"! Anyway. Today I came across an offer in my local market with a victus model carrying 7840hs and rtx 4070 for the same money I paid for the loq. I was initially disappointed thinking I rushed into buying the loq but doing some research I found out that same games perform better in my (our) machine than in the victus with better specs. For example plaguentale requiem reaches 95 fps on youtube videos with the victus 4070 whereas i get 115fps easily, same settings. My idea? I would appreciate your opinion on this. Ty
@@loukasbalomenos2600 I am really surprised you can get that particular HP Victus for the same money. That model isn't available in the UK but I found it in France for the eye watering price of €2,850 ($US 3,100)! Here you can get the Victus with a 4060 for £899 but that comes with a crappy i5-12500H & a 250 nit screen...and that's STILL £200 more than I paid for my LOQ.
Under normal circumstances, I'd say if you can get a 4070 Victus for $US 900, then go for it but TBH, it sounds way too good to be true. The lower FPS says to me they mean the 4050 & the 4070 is a typo!
As someone who owns this laptop and thinks gaming unplugged is stupid, id rather avoid this video. I respect you for your knowledge in this field but this is a great laptop.

No, this laptop is amazing. Who uses gaming laptops on battery when they are specifically designed to be used while plugged in? Gaming laptop batteries are not made for long-term use without being plugged in; they are only meant to be used in emergencies. Another plus point is that when a laptop doesn't have an integrated GPU (iGPU), the dedicated GPU (dGPU) directly displays the image on the screen, which significantly improves performance. That's why some high-end laptops have a MUX switch. Also checking prices of all laptops comparing it with also important

When I saw this online I thought the CPU name was a typo. I wouldn't necessarily avoid this for my use case as I mostly use gaming laptops as a desktop replacement that, if I really needed to, I can just disconnect and pack without the clunkiness of SFF + portable monitor that would sit even lower on the table.
That said...how many people would actually get this knowingly? While a lot more people than you'd think need the battery more as a back up power (to save and shut down) or for short busts of working away from the wall, I imagine most people buying gaming laptops as desktop replacements that totally won't care about the battery life are way more likely to get a bigger laptop than a Loq not just for the screen but for the cooling and performance. If this was 2018 or so they'll just put this CPU in a bigger chassis and call it a day, but when you've got 16cores in a G17 or even more (albeit due to eCores) on a Scar18 or a Titan, couldn't they have just marketed this CPU to, say, MinisForum? I'd take this in a miniPC with a dGPU, or that mITX board with a laptop CPU that just needs a regular 120mm fan and the built-in cooler to stay cool (at the very least you wouldn't need to go digging online what top-down cooler fits on what motherboard depending on RAM - not like a desktop CPU in such an SFF build will sustain 5.0ghz+ all core anyway).
To be honest, I use my gaming laptop 99% of the time sitting on a desk and plugged into mains power, with the graphics permanently switched to the dedicated GPU. Gaming laptops are more of a desktop replacement anyway, as they are too cumbersome to use on the go.
Yeah fair enough, in that case the 7435HS could be a good way to save money for that ues case :)

That first chart highlighting the huge difference in battery life between the 7435HS & other CPUs only applies if you're watching cat videos on RUclips. If you take those lines away & compare battery life whilst playing The Witcher 3, then it paints a very different picture indeed. The LOQ lasts 103 minutes on battery which is more or less what ALL the laptops last!
And there's the rub...this is a GAMING LAPTOP who's prime function is playing games. If your focus is watching RUclips on a long distance flight to Oz, just buy a dirt cheap Chromebook!
Honestly
Gaming laptop are majorly used for gaming and task where GPU performance is heavily required.
and without plugging the charger, all gaming laptop are useless.
for productive task i will highly recommend Apple laptops.
this laptop is worth every single penny.
getting 144 hz , RTX 4060 with 24 GB ram and AMD 7 under $900 is a steal.

some model faced dead mother issues ( manufacturing defects)
also Intel processors are power hungry beast.

Hey Jarod! Do you know a good power bank or alternative to charge a gaming laptop when traveling? As you know, gaming laptop batteries are quite quick to run out. How do you deal with this?
Because of pricing and availability here, this was the one laptop I could get for a decent price compared to overseas pricing. Since I mostly use it plugged in as a sort of desktop away from home or for very light and brief workloads unplugged, it's fine for me. I see a lot of the comments making this seem a lot worse than it actually is despite the review itself not being that negative.
It's a fine choice if battery life isn't a priority.
That's pretty close... My HP Victus 15 uses AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS which *have* AMD Radeon integrated graphics.
I should have talked more about the naming scheme, because this is a perfect point - the 7535HS has fewer cores and threads, so it's actually a lower tier part as far as raw CPU performance goes, but it has an iGPU and has a higher number than the 7435HS, so people may just assume it's better in every way.

There doesn't seem to be anything close in price here with an RTX 4060 and although the screen isn't that bright at least the sRGB coverage is decent, better than the some of the other lower budget systems.

I literally came across this CPU in a similar LOQ model and was really surprised to see the cheaper than lower price considering it's just a rebranded 6800H. Now I know why.
Thanks Jared. You're the GOAT
Happy to help!
Really who is gaming not plugged in?
Atleast the 7435hs can get cheaper but 7840hs will offer better value even if it costs bit more.
Yeah depends on the price difference, I think I'd be willing to spend $50 more to get the 7840HS instead. Maybe even more for that precious iGPU lol.
Why is it called Ryzen 7, when the 4 stands for Ryzen 4, and the 3 is Zen 3 which was back from the 5000 series ??
Yeah I'm not sure, when I bought it I thought it was Ryzen 5 because it's a lower number than the 7535HS, but that's not the case.
By their own "Ryzen 7000" mobile naming graph the 7435HS should be a Ryzen 3 even though no H or HS Ryzen CPU is a Ryzen 3
It being a 16 thread chip that has a model name below the 12 thread 7535HS doesn't help either
Don't get me started on the "Ryzen 5 *7235HS* "
A thing to take notice, any laptop after 3 or 4 years will have its battery life very reduced...and only crazy people play games in laptops outside home(or the place you are staying) so its a no issue.
1:59 still beats a handful of other laptops with iGPUs lol regarding battery life.

Why would AMD even do this to a laptop? Damn this sucks! They should give us a 200 Wh battery to make up for the lack of integrated graphics.
its not legal on a plane so they wont.
I guess because it's better than wasting the chips, might as well try use them for something. The only issue I have with it is unless you know what a 7435HS is, you'd probably just buy it without knowing the limit of no iGPU.
AMD has been lying since the release of zen on laptops. And they do it because people buy these devices and continue to do so while defending AMD.
@@JarrodsTech Wait, don't you also have a problem of AMD selling a 2 gen old chip under the ryzen 7000 naming? Thats a pretty big problem.
AMD has nothing to do with the laptop design and manufacturing. In this case, Lenovo ordered and assembled the parts.
I think the battery dies just as fast plugged out and turned OFF, as it does running at idle. It will seriously die while turned off, not in sleep or hibernation mode, but completely powered off. About 10 percent in a half hour. So if you've got it charged up and ready to use it for a flight, you're out of luck if you don't charge it right before the flight.
I immediately installed my own SSD with a fresh instal of windows, so if there is something I need to do to stop or improve that, I would greatly appreciate. Other than that, it is a great computer, I'm happy.
i have a intel 13700H + RTX4079 i tried disabling integrated graphics and test battery.. it has barely any different
maybe 5% more at best.. so i disabled it and always runs on dgpu only mode. that way i have access to nvidia gsync and other options all the time as well.
so for me this not having integrated is not an issue
Sure abt that ??... Coz i was going to buy this laptop but....stopped rn after seeing this vedio
I’m more concerned with performance than battery life.
Can we refund a lenovo laptop even if it hasn't had any problem yet? I had the LOQ 15IRX9 with i5-13450hx 3050 one, its been 2 months since i bought it online but i havent had any issue other than the battery drop. (I'm scared of the motherboard issue thats happening nowadays)😢
Surprised it actually last for 2 months but hopefully those issue will not heppen for all LOQ user 😔
I prefer an igpu for hybrid mode. Way less power used, and GPU not running all day for menial tasks.
Watching after buying the laptop ;-;
Theres a major issue with the LOQ series
I bought this specific laptop and Its motherboard died 5 days after it was delivered, i talked to the service executive , they said they lodged a complaint but its been 12 days now and still no response from their side. Im highly disappointed by the fact that i had put a considerable amount of money to buy this laptop online for first time only to have this brutal issue. Please don't take the risk.
Yes, I mentioned it at 9:44
Have you followed up with them?
@@JarrodsTechyesss i did , i called them like 13 days ago
they took my complaint and said they'll report back
i agree that any company laptop can have its motherboard dead but I have had 2 laptop one for 11 years and other for 6 years and not a single issue that isn't self fixable occoured in them
Also it was my first time purchasing from online market
@@tanixquedyours is intel or ryzen? Any update?
@@blues1764 Ryzen
Bro do you intel or this ryzen version?
PLEASE REPLY ASAP I'm planning to buy this laptop.
If ryzen version too have mobo dead issue then I guess I have to drop the plan
What about Intel 13 and 14 gen problem, why there is no video from you specialy if laptops are also affected
Intel 13 and 14 gen mobile are not affected, only desktop cpu versions have problems
I own this Laptop but with 1TB SSD, I got it on sale for 825€ incl. tax & shipping. Yes, the battery life is short and I already knew that, when I bought it. But for me it's the best compromise out of mobility and price. I also really like the ability to use a more compact 100W USB C charger.
Hey. My Lenovo loq died. i5 12450hx , rtx 4060. It worked only for 1 month before dying 😢
I can't praise this channel enough 🙏 I was browsing the CPU and saw your post on Reddit
I would go with a laptop like this but is there any difference in thermals/fan noise when compared to laptops with integrated graphics with or without a mux switch? Also is there any meaningful change in battery life with an AMD gpu?
I didn't bother with the full fan recording setup just basic thermals here, but I can't say I noticed or thought about it during testing, didn't seem any louder.
i have it for about 2 months , super nice laptop, low temps great performance !Before that i had an hp victus with ryzen 5 5600h and gtx 1650 and for some reason the loq lasts longer unplugged ,in gaming it is certain that lasts longer and in youtube most likely !I do not know exactly why but it is 100 % true!Also it does play in the same settings and almost same fps plugged and unplugged which was not the case with the old one which did have integrated graphics! Cpu and gpu is super conservartive in power might be the reason.
Whats your thought on lenovo loq ryzen 7 8845hs rtx 4060 ?
Might as well save money on the 7840HS if it's available for less money, almost the same thing in terms of performance shown in this video with the Legions.
I bought a Legion 5 slim with this CPU from Micro Center. I regret it because the only reason I bought a laptop is to do assignments between classes and I'm a commuter, so I need the battery to last all day without charging if I'm not playing games on it. Instead, the best I can get out of it is about 3 hours even with battery saver turned on. Carrying the 5 lb laptop with the 2 lb charger on top of everything else I have to carry is too much. I have a gaming desktop at home, so I don't need the laptop to be super powerful, but I absolutely need the battery to last a long time. That's why I'm returning this one and trying out a Legion 5 with an 8845HS. Apparently, the battery can last between 5 and 12 hours for non-gaming tasks. If that doesn't work out, I might try the Zephyrus G14.
You already have a gaming desktop, why did you buy a gaming laptop and expected it to last a day without charging it? If you are not playing games then get a non gaming laptop like a surface or a macbook
Good day. I would like to inquire about the integrated graphics capabilities of the Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 laptop equipped with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS Processor. Kindly provide me with the relevant specifications and confirm if the device indeed features integrated graphics. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It has integrated graphics, check the AMD product page if in doubt.
Saying hs version doesn't have igpu, so the battery backup is bad?
Hey, Jarrod! Thanks for another amazing analysis video. Though I have a question about this laptop.
Why could this laptop have such a low average temperature when compared to other 2023 LOQ 15 variants from your video with Intel CPU i7-13700H and RTX4060?
Differences of more than 10°C on both CPU and GPU on Performance Mode! That's amazing!
damn no replt
let me fix tat
what about ryzen 7 8845hs with rtx 4060 for £999? rate it out of 10 in terms of performance wise
8.5
I just realized, I like the videos and the information given. But I love seeing Amon Amarth t-shirts! :D
Do you expect an improvement in the performance of 5000 GPU in the laptop? Should I buy now the Asus Rog G16 Intel i9 14900 hx RTX 4080?
Of course, but we won't see it until next year, and then decent prices and availability will be months after launch, so depends if you want to actually use something anytime soon. 4080 should still offer excellent performance for years.
so far we only have rumors and most of those are on the desktop side. I do like the g16, but would probably ait till then. When we know more about the gpu and vendors are clearing out space and lowering prices more it might be a smart buy
4080 was such a huge leap for laptop gaming it can play things so well and now with dlss and frame generation on top of it I wouldn't worry about missing out. It's almost like a 3090 desktop gpu in a laptop which is crazy and 8-12 months waiting for the new laptops is a really long time you could be gaming so up to you.
Thank you I will wait
@@Shadow_XIII if your current laptopis bad you can buy a laptop with one of the newer cpus and pair it with an gpu later. That is my plan so far
Lol after looking for a laptop for weeks I finally decided on the Legion Slim 5 with Ryzen 7 7435HS & GeForce RTX 4070 and ordered it. The product description even highlights the MUX switch, which I had as a must. Efficiency to me is key, because I work from my van with a solar setup. I only checked the CPU's performance which seemed OK to me.
20W more to me means having to check the main battery more often. I even ordered all the parts to build my own DC-DC power supply for this to save a bit on conversion (in-)efficiency. This seems a bit dumb after learning what I know now :/
who cares battery life .. we are getting 4050... after all its a gaming lap top .. i bought it for my self
Yeah obviously who the hell uses a gaming laptop for battery backup. Gaming laptops are meant to be used while plugged in

I thought this was a thing on intels new meme, where nothing you can do, just wait for the patch in august and hope your thing doesn't crash. either way, it doesn't affect me, my old busted laptop has one purpose and it's to feed my factorio addiction.
Yeah I was wondering if it might get confused with that, I'll think about a new title and maybe add in the "7435HS" somewhere.
I wonder if that patch will go out for laptop cpu's since they said they aren't affected... at least that's kinda good news something is being done and addressed and may totally fix it instead of everything being up in the air with nothing said lol.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeeplaptops definitely are affected especially loqs with 13th and 14th gen hx processors. Check-out loq subreddit
