Another great comparison, Ben, for me you can still choose the 2021 model if you don't mind the slight decrease in performance compared to the 2022 model. The pros are that it is much cheaper, and you can still find the RTX 3070 in the 2021 model if you want it only for gaming. The upgrade of the 2022 model CPU does not create a huge gap in terms of cpu performance.
If you're going for the 5 pro, there is not a big difference between the 21 and 22 models. However, if you consider the 5i pro, there is a huge gap in performance and in my opinion makes the 22 5i pro a no brainer if you could afford it
No comment on the RAM being a newer version that works differently (DDR4 to DDR5), no commentary on the SSD PCIe version being newer (Gen 3 to Gen 4), no commentary on the 2022 model having USB4 in one of the USB-C ports, no commentary on the USB-C charging support going from 100W to 135W, with some asterisks. The upgraded thermal design did get demonstrated in one of the tests. Glad I got the 2022 model.
@@jupiteruniverse8683 I'm unfamiliar with the zephyrus. But I actually did have a 2021 L5 pro for a few weeks in mid 2022. The ergonomics didn't work at all with my wrists / desk combo that I was using at the time. And I'm glad I took it back, because that allowed me to get the 2022 L5pro in early 2023, which had the stated improvements, as well as bumps in the CPU and graphics card. Oh, another thing that was left out of the review- The 2022 L5pro also gets USB4 (in the AMD model). I don't think the 2021 AMD model got that. And I don't know if there was an intel model. Also, having 4 ports that work as 8k60 graphics out is pretty sweet on the 2022 model. The 2021 model doesn't have that, nor does the 2023 model. I really like my 2022 L5pro. I hope to use it for 4 to 5 years.
I don't know why many people don't like the old top cover design but for my liking older design is much better looking. Btw when are you gonna hit the 100k man. We have been waiting for the legions. Come on lads help him reach 100k!
In third world country a college student might need such a thing for both study and work, I wish I could have one but may the person who needs it more have it ❤✌🏻 thank you for all the time you've spent for making this video, it was functional.
They're both great in different aspects as you shown in this video but I would definitely choose the Legion 5 Pro (2022) over the Legion 5 Pro (2021) because of its latest cpu and gpu, and for me, I like the 2022 design than the 2021.
Ben, your reviews are very helpful! You leave me with no questions, covering all aspects. And most importantly it focus on content creation. You deserve more subscribers I'll share your videos on Facebook
In my country, 2021 Legion 5 Pro 3070 is now around $1300. Whereas the 2022 version w/ 3070 Ti is $1700, so last year’s model is definitely worth the price for $400 less
If it's the Intel version it's not worth the 400 in savings because you will get more performance. And have 1-2 years of being more future proofed for your purchase. As well as the better 3070ti which is basically a 3080 in termf of performance it's just a hiccup behind and is definitely a head of the standard 3070
@@Nick_Gir When I was comparing the 2022 amd to the 11th Gen. i7-11800H the Intel looked like it outperformed it even though it's in the older model? Please help. Thanks!
Hey Ben, is it possible for you to make a similar video with the Intel variants? ( Should you buy the 2021 or 2022 Lenovo Legion 5i Pro? ) Or can you please make the conclusion part via YT-shorts.🙏
Recently got the 2021 model for £899 from Ebuyer in the UK, and couldn't be happier with it. Absolute beast of a machine. Gorgeous 1440p 165hz display. Lightning fast, built like a tank. Only 25 left in stock, so if anyone is on the fence, bite the bullet, you will not regret it! Amazing price for an amazing piece of kit. You really can't get better for under £1000.
In my country the 2021 string ray i7 11800h rtx 3060 5 pro is 492.42$ less expensive than rtx 3060 ryzen 6800h 5 pro so it is worth giving that much for 2022 5 pro?????
Anyone please help! I have seen many many videos saying legion 5 pro has 7+ batter life but I dont think Ive ever achieved it on my laptop. It is ryzen 7 5800h rtx 3060 model. I do use the hybrid mode, battery limit(conservation mode) and turbo boost off. For example at 59% shows 1hr 40min. Then all of a sudden it changes to 3hr 40min
Don't buy lenovo, they are selling computers under false specifications! The ram can't run at 4800 Mnz they are telling, the computer doesn't have xmp 3.0 wish is required to achieve such frequencies! Go to Lenovo community, there are lots of people talking about this without answer from Lenovo! Sad...
The top lid of the 2021 model looks way better imo. Plus you can toggle whether you want it on or off.
Agreed 100 percent
I got the Legion 5 Pro 2021 gaming laptop because of the Black Mamba logo, that's the only reason why I bought that laptop. rip Kobe
Oh crap! I've got the 2022 model! I thought I was happy with it but now you're making me doubt my decision! 😟

Yep those are indeed missing here.
I have one question. Would you have considered going with the Zephyrus G15 2022, or the Legion 5Pro 2021?

Mine is last years Ryzen 7 5800H with RTX 3070.... Bought last year and it's a great best investment!
Same! And completely agree, great investment! 🙏
Asthetics / design and I/O locations I'd still go for 2021 version. Well, but if I will have 2022 as a prize, why not!!!😊

I finally bought the Legion 5 i7 12700 32gb ram
Rtx3060
And couldn't get any happier.
Just want i needed.
I got the 6800h/3070Ti L5P 2022 model on sale for $1399. It's frequently on sale for that price so if you can grab it for that go for it!
@Rana Boota and how much are you paying? If over 1k USD I'd be trying to find a more modern machine.
Dang! I was struggling with choice. Your videos helped me a lot! Now i know which will be better for PS and for my pocket. Cheers!

Legion 5i pro 2021 vs 2022 is where you will see the biggest jump in performance.
Humbly requesting this format with Slim 7 gen6/7, great video as always
I want a new legion 5 pro to finally go back to content creation. I'm done working in burgerking while stutying.
very nice. informative bro...
I just wish either of these goes on sale at around 1.1k to be able to snag it at ease
2021 is great since price is little cheaper, but I love 2022 design!! It's so much simpler than 2021!
Am confused between legion 5pro 2021 or legion 5 2021 both has same spec man
Love the extra usb type c port on the 22 model helps me connect my hub faster and add external ssd when needed.
Always great reviews, i honestly prefer the 2022 model and im looking to buy one once i get a job
I contemplated this over my zyphyr thanks for the performance rundown
ive been considering getting the 2021 ver till this day, plus it's a bit cheaper and still gives a performance but i hope i can win that giveaway.
I'm upgrading from 2021 L5 to 2022 L7i, should arrive tomorrow
Thank you! Awesome video, awesome notebooks
No way there isn't a single video on RUclips discussing the absence of Advanced Optimus
Great video man
It's clearly the 5i pro is the best option, can't wait to have it.
By the way, do you post these benchmarks on the web ? By it self.
Its very helpful
I played today with the keyboards of Legion 5 pro, yoga 7, Vivobook 15x, ThinkPad e15, L15. ThinkPad's were freeking amazing. Maybe 2023 Legion slim 7 gets more GPU options (the integrated 680M only, why not), PCI express 7.x SD card reader, OLED panel, the integrated RAM is 32GB + upgradable.
you are the best 🙏 I really want this
great comparison !!

Ha! I been looking at it for the past few days. So tempting.
How would it fare against the 2022 Zephyrus G15?
I would assume you would have at one point considered looking into that.
Great comparison Video @BenGkaiser

hope there is a L5P intel 11th gen 2021 vs intel 12th gen 2022 comparison.
can you do a coparion of asus rog zephyrus m16 models as well? 2021 and 2022
Which legion model has the RGB lights on the bottom of the laptop?
Does this works well on cap cut editing
Nice!!! NICE!
Great 👍
I think the main reason to get the 2022 model is the Intel version with 12th gen CPUs
Great point!
Any ghosting issues?
would you compare lenovo legion 7i 2021 vs 2022 too
Does the 2022 model have aluminium keyboard deck?
2021 gets a better Display. I just don't get it
Literally the same laptop 🤦. In my country price difference between both is more then 200 dollars so I think I'll save that money 💰
Preferred 2021

Act so clown. Even the way you test audio and camera isnt not always same on different laptop comparison
