    Consistent fps with no screen tearing is more important than high fps jumping around. I played a game that was optimized for 60fps but had option to uncap. When i capped refresh rate (and game fps) to 60 it was plenty smooth. As a kid, lagging was a thing, so for me having no lag is always fantastic

    You will get 100 W normally, however if you use the Lenovo proprietary USB-C you can get 140. 140 W is enough for silent mode gaming, however if you want to use balanced mode gaming you will want to use the proprietary charger, or just the one that comes with a laptop

    Please do help me answer this brother, if I buy this, should I play while I have the power plugged in? I have a lenovo legion 5i before and because I play with it, I always have the power plugged in and on lenovo vantage, I have the set up a mode where the battery will stay at 55% max while plugged in so it conserve it's durability of some sort. Going back to my question, will playing it while plugged in damage my battery again? The life span of my battery (lenovo legion 5i) is only now at about 45 mins lifespan without gaming (at most) because of what I was doing over 3 years. Please advise, any advise from your viewers will help too. Thank you all!

    What is your thoughts on regards to fan sound? Thinner laptops usually have a higher pitch noise from the fans, wheezing or whistling. The previous thinner legion laptops had that problem. It was like a dog whistle for humans, it was tinnitus inducing madness. How is the fan? Is it a whoosh sound or a high pitch? And you hear any coil whine? From moving the mouse e.g.?

    I'm sorry if this has already been answered but I'm looking to buy either this or the pro 5i. The main difference is that in my budget the 7i comes with the 4060 and the pro 5i comes with the 4070. My question is whether the 4060 is capable enough for gaming at 1600p (or for that 3.2k display if I were to opt for that). Otherwise I'd go for the Pro 5i with the RTX 4070. Graphics power and maybe better cooling is the only positives for the Pro 5i over the 7i for me.

    Interesting how some hype just gets so many people buying stuff, even though they only show the benchmarks and examples where the ARM chips do better. Have you noticed how ARM compares to X64 in complex tasks? It's a "Complex Instruction Set Computing" chip for a reason. However if you require something more power efficient to browse facebook, then by all means, use ARM.

    Did you notice the i9 is thermal throttling, the rtx 4070 goes often down to 40w. The game isnt the problem, its the i9 14900HX which is just bad. Cyberpunk, the gpu wattage works, because the i9 wont overheat, use more cores, low frequency = lower watt, thermal. It seems thats a issue how the i9 clocks itself, its different from game to game, result in thermal throttling nonestop.
