I finally found a decent RUclipsr who doesn't annoy me and gets straight to the point. Without trying to be cool.
Hes lit
he's cool tho
Don’t buy this laptop though, it’s Chinese

oh wow

Finally a gaming laptop I'm not ashamed to take to work.
For me the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, HP Omen 15 and Legion 5 are like the only gaming laptops that doesn't make you scared to take it outside without everyone looking at you
Nexo Mii why would anyone look at you because of your laptop? Pls explain
@@montinyek6554 Because of the RGB duh
ASTR1D wtf is rgb?

"Least gamer looking" means not stupid looking with optimus prime "styling"
Agree
Acer Predator and Asus ROG dislike this comment.
I like Alienware tho.
@@leohangrai7298 yeah Alienware is the exception for me, even though it's "gamery" it looks a lot cleaner than most other gaming laptops that just have red stripes everywhere. Alienware's aesthetic is almost space-like, which makes sense for their name and works quite well for them i think
@@flzubuduuz I feel the exact same way. :)
THANK YOU - I'm so sick of the "gamer" aesthetic and really appreciate this understated design. If you need that aesthetic, there's skins you can buy
Same I don't like the shiny rgb
A design that you can take outside and not look like a loser
@@TheFunFactoryChannel I wouldn't say you look like a loser but to me I don't like rgb

I like that it's both professional looking and powerful for gaming. Considering getting this one

Lenovo : Intel version is $300 more expensive
Me : **laughs in AMD**
you know, i've really wanted the amd one, but in my country this one isn't available yet or more so, no announcement or news about new stuff on this one till few days ago, i ended up buying the y540 with i7 a month ago, just imagine what i'm feeling right now.
edit : I'm still grateful for I got anyway, it was so hard to get this one because it was sold out, and I got the last one online on a store with reasonable price. it's worth the money.
And it's just 4 cores lol

Sir..
Im an Architecture student from india. I would like to buy a new laptop for my course related works. I heard that gaming laptops are more preferred. Usually i don't play computer games. So Im a little confused.
Whether i should buy a gaming or normal laptop.
It will be very helpful for me and lots of students if you do a video regarding this.
# Best laptops for architecture students.
# Necessary accessories for architecture students.
# How to take care of our new laptop.
Expecting a positive response from your side.
@@sourajp4187 That's waay too specific my man. Dave can't do a video for every job and specific occupation. Just research what your specific needs are and buy a laptop based on that!
@@sourajp4187 Well there are many terms of what advantages your computer should have for example should it be lightweight or how much weight in general should your laptop be in terms of weight. (i am sorry for da bad english I am from austria...)
@@sourajp4187 heyy bro I think you found a fellow architecture student over here. I have recently purchased a laptop for my architectural work at school too, I'll suggest you to go for the following specs: an i7 with 16 gb ram and and gtx1650 or above graphics card, storage should be 1tb, and the display should be more than 250 nits for comfortable working and a 120 hz panel is recommended. The line between gaming and normal laptops is just a better display and a great graphics card. Just go check out the Predator Helios 300 2019 model on Flipkart. It's the best laptop for architectural work and if you wanna do some heavyyy gaming, it's superior in every aspect of laptops and provides a heck lot than it should for such a low price of 110 000 thousand rupees. Feel free to ask me about anything else, need to help each other out
First it was Austin, now dave...
I don’t like where this is going
Dave, I came back here just to say thank you for the amazing review. I finally bought the Legion 5 Ryzen 5, RTX 2060 version last week. This thing is really bang for the bucks! Awesome screen, great performance, also great cooling! The GPU temperature stays at 75 degree even after long session of gaming. It is just a very good gaming laptop for the money. Some people doesn't like the design tho, but for me personally it is a very subtle look with iridescent Legion branding and I love it.
pengen
Almost thought you said bad for the buck I was about to start crying
Still like the laptop?
I am considering this laptop. How is it holding up for you?
Is it still good?

Mad respect to Lenovo for building their gaming laptops to almost the same quality as their Mil-spec business/enterprise class laptops. You'd think that the Legion series being consumer grade would mean that thermals will kill it within 3-5 years, but it seems rock solid. As it should be for the price you pay (*cough* Intel Macbooks)

8:24 that's how u don't be a greedy RUclipsr and sum up two reviews in one, RESPECT
Wrong timestamp
Being greedy would be making two videos so you get more revenue 😑
RUclips isn't his main and only job, so he can choose to prioritize viewers over greediness.
This is one of the reason I like his channel and rolled my eyes when people keep asking him if he is or if/when he will become a full-time RUclipsr.
When RUclips is your primary income, you're more incentivized to optimize for more revenue. You have to appeal to "the algorithm" and monetization rules in addition to normal rules. It's kind of like selling your soul to RUclips.

Dave thank you so much for the review it was so useful. I have bought the Legion 5i 144hz, i7 10Gen, RTX 2060 version and I couldn´t be happier.
The quality is so good, the cooling system is quiet and efficient, the performance is exactly what I was expecting.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Simple, Great review... no dragging anything out, covers what you need to know
So glad I found this channel! - I wanted to come back on this after 6months owning a Legion 5 AMD 5 144hz.
pros - extremely quiet fans, handles thermal brilliantly, friendly UI with Lenovo Vantage, FPS on gaming is always consistent
cons - speakers (But guess that's an issue with laptop speakers in general lol)
One thing I wish to highlight as a MUST is please please purchase the premium/ADP support - within the first 2weeks I damaged my LCD screen and with those support packages they managed to send a onsite engineer to replace my screen fixed at my location!
Customer service for Lenovo is impeccable!
fans noise on this laptop is really underrated. they are quiet when gaming imo and the speakers, well, they are okay to me because I game with speakers nowadays instead of headsets. Also the screen looks very flimsy, but that's fine. I use a monitor anyways. Really good laptop imo.

Hey Dave it is important to note that the HDMI port is ocnnected directly to the Dedicated GPUm so those who will connect it to an external screen will have a quite good experience
So if you have multiple monitors:
use the HDMI port on the monitor you're gonna be gaming on and maybe a USB C to HDMI cable for other monitors
Gotcha

Owned this computer since December. Hands down best laptop I have ever owned. Indestructible and works like new.
Could someone use this laptop for graphic design?
yeah same here. Never had a laptop that chunky but it's really powerful. wish they could do a redo but with a 3060 instead. the pro version looks amazing too but it's too expensive (I paid almost $300 more for this one because of the pandemic, still it's worth it)
Dave: I'm such a nerd.
We love you for it.
ok
I ordered the 7i a little while back, it will be in a week or so, super excited to see the 5 being reviewed. Good work Dave! And the 7i does have two nvme slots also the code EXTRAFIVE gives a 5% off which stacks with the student/vetran/senior 5% off.
👍 Nice
It's the 7i that I'm interested in too.... I hope to see some reviews for that soon 👍

I have been using it since 2020 and recently upgraded the RAM to 64GB. Some people say it's not possible, but it actually works for me. Additionally, I have connected two extra displays to my setup, one through the HDMI port and the other through the USB Type C port.
Hey David.... I own the Lenovo 5. got it via Best Buy for a cool 950 on sale. It came with 8gb Ram but I slapped another 8gb onto it and this laptop is a beast. Great review... but I would add that this gaming laptop is a great workhorse. 4k editing. It manages my Insta360 (5.7k footage well) I game AND stream on this rig without performance issues. COD Warzone plays on this like a dream while handling OBS, and streaming. IF it could make my coffee I think it would manage to do so. Anyone considering this laptop should absolutely take the plunge! I do recommend a cooling pad to go with it. It does get warm!
Will it beat the 2020 hp omen 15?
Dave, love your vids. U explain every aspect of a laptop so well. Literary the ultimate buying guide. Please review the new hp OMEN 15 2020 as soon as it launches. Im thinking of buying it. The quote of 12.5 hrs of battery life seems too good to be true, considering the 2019 model had the same sized battery and got about 5 hrs. Please review it as soon as possible.
Thank youuu.
Man I'm supposed to pick between this and the 2020 omen....I don't know which to go for. What's keeping me from the omen is the build quality that gap between the screen too
@@Black_myst i'm also looking forward to the 2020 Omen BUT I'm also hearing that the build quality is not that good.
Rey Joson if you do go for the legion the build of it feels very well built and very durable, i think the only con i can think of the legion build is that the hinge comes wrapped in some sort of plastic, not sure if it’s supposed to be like that or taken off, but it’s pretty unnoticeable, i only saw it because over time the corners of the wrap starts to peel back a bit, but it’s pretty hard to take off, i gave up trying to. other than that i don’t think there is anything else i ran into.
godsmanager im looking for a creator laptop, that’s my goal and need. I only considered these gaming laptops so I can work and play at the same time. But the main issues that I encountered on these machines are the low color accuracy and the price. Some color accurate gaming laptops are way out of my budget. Some budget gaming laptops comes with low color accuracy. Just to be safe I got myself a Macbook Pro, which is all work no play kind of machine 😥
Rey Joson i understand, i’m a high school student and i needed a quick laptop for school, i just happened to run into a specked out legion and got it since it was the only good one for the price. i didn’t want to wait and just got it to make sure i have something, i hope the macbook works well, i don’t know much about apple but it sure they’re products are good for productivity and creating if i’m right.
Bought this laptop (Ryzen 7 RTX 2060 version) for heavy duty video editing and works perfectly...no issues at all thanks to this review. Thanks Dave.
How does it work with 4k?
I really wanted that one but my local store only had the 1660ti version. bad thing is doesn't support ray tracing because it's not rtx.
Still no issues?
I like the conversational approach, minimal yet really gave the whole review a rsort of elaxed credibility. I'd never have commented but had to hit the like and tell you. Good job man! Keep rockin

Thank you for your insights. Regarding the hinge issue on previous Legion products, it has more to do with the plastic base under each hinge which is supposed to anchor the hinge. But due to structural weaknesses of each plastic base due to torsional forces coming through the screen, those forces ended up unseating the plastic base under each hinge, thereby de-stabilizing each respective hinge. Fortunately, that issue has been rectified in the mid-2020 version of the Legion 5.
I've referred to this and your other videos on other gaming notebooks and just purchased the Legion 5 with the AMD processor.

Hey, mate!! Hope you are having great day!
bought it with R7 4800H + 1660 Ti for 999,00€. Beast ! Well engineered ! Great display options. Good materials. Nice backlit keyboard. Back ports. Very well priced. Great product.
meh the display is trash in my opinion, kinda the only con ive found using this latop. But to be fair all displays in this range are trash
@@MFDOOOOM it's not the best IPS panel , but it is 144Hz and it's priced right
I just bought this today at Best Buy. Good build quality, and I love the sturdiness and smoothness of the hinge. Haven't played any games with it yet, but I'll update during the week.
Let us know your further experience with device 😎
@@sedenyavuz9656 So I've had this laptop for a few days now. It does get very hot when gaming, so I would suggest a cooling pad, which I'm getting from Amazon, but it should be fine if you don't actually game on your lap. The trackpad is what you would expect, it's smooth and responsive, especially with the refresh rate of the screen which puts my old 2016 HP to shame. The keyboard is nice and sturdy, satisfying to type on. My version came with programmable RGB through Lenovo Vantage. I'll update with more thermals when I test it more, but so far so good!
Jade O. Any update?
@@sparda1418 Have had this laptop since last summer, still going strong!
Another update, I've had this laptop for two years now. Still running strong after two years of daily use. It does get hot at times, so I would suggest keeping it elevated, but still runs most modern games at high settings.
Hey Dave! You mentioned that you thought this laptop was about $150 over priced. But I wasnt sure of all the specs you reviewed in this particular video. My local Costco has it on display now. And I was hoping to get your input. I’m a teacher and need to upgrade my equipment for this school year and want to start getting into games. (So I’ll take any recommendations/suggestions for laptops from you. Watched a bunch of your stuff tonight.) hopefully you can help me with this price point with these specs.
10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H - GeForce GTX 1660Ti - 144Hz 1080p
16GB memory
1TB HHD + 512GB SSD
Thanks for the job you do man! Hope you don’t mind helping!
My local Costco also has this out at 1199.99; same specs you listed. I went on Lenovo's website and customized the Legion to match the specs for the one Costco has and Lenovo billed it at 1509.99. I'm thinking Costco's price is reasonable.
Thanks for all your hard work, teacher person
I bought this laptop a month ago but im still watching his review for some reason
i just have to say i was looking for about 2 weeks for a manageable gaming laptop came upon a comment that linked to this video and i am now typing using it. im in love with it.
What specs did u get
5:06 literally shroud lmfaoo
Dave: i want to see more AMD laptops...
Still Dave: i got Intel version..😂😂😂
Doesn't it have a better gpu?
@@builderphill1361 yah..i know that..but it depends on manufactures..u can get rtx 2060 with r7 4800h on Asus Tuf..
@@jasonly8407 the Asus tuf has really bad cooling unless you wanna drill in your own air holes, they blocked the air exit duct things with like a big layer of plastic so it heats up fast, I think gamer nexus did a video on it
@@builderphill1361 :))..thats why im gonna take this legion 5 bro..very disappointed about the cooling system on Tuf..
@@builderphill1361 how does the combo r7..1650..512gb ssd..8gb(3200)..60w..120hz legion 5 in your country..here in vn they sell it at 1,050$
this review convinced me to buy this legion laptop variant :)
Me too but sadly I can't find the 144 Hz version anywhere :(
@@deenn376 same so i
got the 120hz :( bc I'm not a gamer anyway
@@calebemmanuellabot1444 there is the generation 6 out already and there are versions with 165hz, but it's not the cheapest, so I will wait till it gets cheaper xd
Your thumbnails make it compelling to watch the video🙌🙌

At 5:47 he wrote, I am such a nerd😂
You thought we'll never catch it😎
(I saw at 0.25x with pausing.)
Hahah I did the same thing, very cool Dave hahah
Not needed to slow down, with a couple of tries i could catch it at normal
@@ajchaskar only after you know what's written.
In the first go you won't notice that
@@nickdutton6218 definitely 😂
Don't know if it was meant to be read by normal people's 🤣
Thank you for the mischief! I myself was recently given a Lenovo Legion 5 with AMD Ryzen 5 and RTX 2060. And I'm completely satisfied with it! It is my version of the laptop that surpasses its pro version in many respects. In general, Lenovo Legion 5 has a lot of advantages, thanks to which it outperforms its competitors. I am completely satisfied with this laptop and give it 11/10!
Thank you for your great review, hope I will be happy with my purchase of Legion 5.

There also is a 240hz, 500nits one, with 400HDR and 100%sRGB, its regarded as one of the best displays on the market.
I bought one after watching your review it was the i7 processor. I love it.
So I bought this laptop a few months ago and I really love it. The only thing I would say is that the fans get slightly loud when I play demanding games but everything runs perfectly
are they loud during light office tasks etc?
I just bought this! My first gaming laptop and the first laptop I bought with my own money. I feel so happy and proud of myself. I'm glad I found out about this laptop through this channel. ^_^
How was it?
@CARTIERH0E still alive xD yep, it's still working pretty well. I'm able to play games like R2D2 and Dying Light 2. Tip: get a good laptop cooler though ahha
