My Legion Slim 5i came last week and it's an amazing machine. I'm excited to game and create epic stuff on it! No seriously, the back I/Os (WHICH I FREAKING LOVE CAUSE IT'S SO CLEAN ON A DESK), the screen, the keyboard, the fans and the performance.
Does it get hot easily? Thinking of buying in 2024 when the price drops a bit…also is the fan really loud or you can adjust fan noise in the settings? Sorry for the questions😅, I just wanna make sure if I actually wanna purchase a the Legion Slim 5i lol.
@@greeneyelightskin746 As most laptops in this price range, it gets hotter with more usage (gaming, heavy editing, etc) but it doesn't get overly hot that it disturbs you. On max performance, the fan can run a little loud, but personally, it's not super loud, still manageable, I've seen louder laptops for sure (like a Gigabyte, which is value for money, but they compromise on a few areas)
@@greeneyelightskin746im owning the ryzen 7 7840hs one. Temp very nice anyways, max at 80. Fan? Still normal, but you can clearly say that the fan is pretty noisy at performance
@@greeneyelightskin746 yes there is, you can set to quiet mode. But the performance isn't the best as it's limiting the power input. Still okay anyways, game still playable though. I don't really notice the difference except I use fps counter. On uncharted there's only around 10 fps difference
This couldn't come at a better time was looking to switch from desktop to laptop just because ill be moving into a college dorm and just don't know if ill have the space for my desktop
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ITH6H RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop 16" WQXGA 165Hz Intel i7-11800H - and I literally cannot praise it enough. Obviously, there's some trade offs compared to having a modular build (I'd like one of those too eventually), but its a really solid piece of kit - and with a cooling pad I've never worried once about temps.
@@mulewasinkala2220 I literally just bought one for like $20 at a local tech store. It just has a couple of fans that you can set the speed for with a dial, and that's enough to keep the temperatures at a level I'm comfortable with. I don't think I ever get above 90c on the CPU or the GPU - and usually in the mid-70s if under a heavy gaming load. Obviously warmer than a desktop, but well within tolerance.
This has some tough competition against the Asus G14 in the US, especially when, with sales, you can get the 4070 version of the G14 for the same price as the 4060 config here. Plus, the G14 goes up to a 4080 and 4090 mobile, which are significantly more powerful than the 4060/70 series
Imagine calling "ASUS" competition. Coil whine issues, screen flickering etc. RUclips is full of ASUS shitting on customers but no it's a tough competition. LMFAO. Enjoy liquid metal destroying motherboard or terribly applied while Lenovo's PTM7958 can basically live forever
I bought this exact laptop for my daughter, and it stutters playing roblox. It can barely handle warzone, and AAA games run at around 25fps, and even with FG, you'll be getting around a 15% boost, but the pucture quality is terrible. With how much this costs, you'd be better of buying a ps5 and a regular laptop for work, and it'd still work out cheaper
check laptop/game settings make sure power mode is on performance mode or turbo make sure game mode is on in settings also always make sure to keep it plugged up on charge gaming laptops aren't meant to be taken off of charge. also internet issues can cost lag when playing online games so have at least stable internet for around 60 or more fps in most online games.
How is this thin 😂? It weighs around 2.3kg if I'm not wrong and also is pretty bulky from the looks of it . The slim 7i is what can be considered thin or maybe the asus zephyrus , definitely not this
I'm sorry, but these reviews/ads simply aren't doing the best in communicating the issues with the AMD version of this laptop. I've experienced it, and there are dozens of forums covering the same issues. Some claiming the Intel version also has the same problem. No, you shouldn't have to buy a new ssd to fix the problem. No, you shouldn't have to buy more ram to avoid stuttering and freezing at the most basic of settings... no, even if you did, it won't fix the issues. I had one for 14 days, and we tried every solution possible. This has a hardware design flaw.
That's exactly the same expects you get with the Msi pulse 15 but the Msi is £500 less, The pulse 15 with qhd 165hz, 4060 tgp 140w, 16gb 5600, 1tb sad 4, i7 13700h, and you get a really solid build, and a titanium alloy lid (Lazer draw)
but it's MSI... I'll take Lenovo Legion build quality any day (owned MSI before and coming from a Zephyrus G14 and Legion 5 Pro). Things are about more than just the spec sheet.
I think the idea that laptos need to be slim is rediculous, why cant we have them thicker and more upgradeable. I prefer a thick laptop if it will have better cooling and performance. Great video Marcus, really interesting. I am after a new laptop and to be honest a gaming laptop has crossed my mind a few times.Lenovo is a brand I have never thought of buying, Might need to look into this option. Do you have any thoughts on the new Snapdragon Elite X CPU that is supposed to be coming out at some point in 2024? It looks very interesting. Have a great weekend and try not to gane to nuch at your Mothers.
Nice show! Thank you. If you switch to silent mode, and go for a business meeting for some hours. Even do a presentation on external screen with the internal gpu: Does it get loud/noisy? Or can it be really silent when running basic office tasks?
I will say it runs okay for medium setting in these games. In it is just a 4060 but getting 70 fps an playing at 2k is good if you dropped it down you'd def be playing at higher rates across the board an you'd still very much enjoy the games. Def good mix for that bundle.
I have tried playing games on my friend’s Legion 5 Gen 6 and nope I couldn’t tolerate the heat, but yes at the time of using his laptop it’s been more than a year since he has cleaned its internals If u really don’t want hot air blowing on your mouse hand then I recommend u to get the Legion 5i Gen 9 in which all the vents r at the rear, so far there’s only one honest review in which the thermals seems great 👍🏼
Hello, I got the legion 5 pro with ryzen 5 5600h and 3050ti...the version with 2k display 165hz...all good until I start to play something resource hungry....temps are so high...92-94 avg on cpu and 86 thermal throttleing on gpu...pretty high frequencies tho...using a laptop stand with 5 coolers, not a big diff, just lifting it up works but are the temps normal??
Was the overall experience for games pretty smooth like no stutters on this laptop? Im planning on getting this exact model so I really don’t want any stutters
I am looking for a new laptop, but I am not sure which one to choose. I have narrowed down my options to four models: Hp omen 16 ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060, Acer predator helios neo 16 i7 13700hx rtx 4050, Lenovo legion slim 5i ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4050 and Lenovo LOQ ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060. They all have similar specifications and prices, around 1,20000 Rs.(1400-1500 USD) in India. Can you help me decide which one is the best for me? I mainly use my laptop for gaming,notetaking and online classes.I am A medical student.I want best performance for next 5-6 years to come.
I've bought mine a month ago and I've been mostly using it in air conditioned rooms. All the metal parts of the body feel cold to touch. I make sure there's space underneath the laptop so fans could suck enough air. So, it never felt hot to me on max settings and turbo mode.
Nearly £1500 for a 4060 laptop? Yeah, no! Shop around and you can easily get one with a 4070 fir similar money or for just another £300, a 4080, which is close to 50% faster than a 4060.
I do not understand why they don't talk about g-sync at all. It being a mobile device it would seem to be a big deal feature to me but I am oldschool. lol
If I was gunna main my set up with a laptop I would go as big and heavy as I could with the money. Sadly, would still be a 16" prolly cuz cost but I am assuming the slims just more xpensive?
I haven’t bought anything but I just sold my ps5 what’s the best priced and best quality parts if I have a 144hz monitor and want to run rust r6 on a good quality and basically all games
Purchased this laptop but I'm getting a lot of frame drops on Fortnite. It doesn't matter how much I mess with the video settings there is still a lot of drops.
Hey, I got that laptop but for some reason everytime I put it to sleep. The computer screen won't wake up. I have to hard reboot it to turn on again. Do any of you know a way to fix this?
Sleep isn’t any good. I usually put my Lenovo v15 g2 on hibernate or I shut it off completely. It’s a productivity laptop I have but I’m planning to get this one soon
Would this be a good upgrade from a 2060 super and 1600x desktop ( trying to play rust / Wow ) and my pc is struggling these days! any advice appreciated
I just upgraded my 2060-max q to the 4060 Slim 7 Legion. Just be warned that if you do a custom build, you might be waiting until after January 1st or longer as Lenovo's delivery estimate is incredibly misleading.
Between this and the Asus Strix G16 which do you honestly think will last for a longer time when comparing the build quality. Cause am afraid that the hinge on the Strix G16 might easily break when not handled properly.
