Hell yea. Life's short and gaming is actually fun and good for the old cranium.

I have this computer I undervolt it and hit 32k in cinebench R23.. so much power that I decided I dopnt even need hyperthreading, turning it off and still get 28k...this is 30 min testing on cinebench. I came from a desktop i7-5960x with RTX 2080ti, both cool with AIO, and this thing literally replacing my desktop, I think I may donate my desktop now... EDIT: retest today -170mv got 33.3k no TPL limited...with TPL limit to 87 PL1 and 104 PL2 getting 30.5k...with hyperthreading of course...very happy.

Hi there, when using custom mode do you select all sliders to the maximum setting?

I bought a Slim 7i last week, 13900H, RTX 4070, 16gb ram. Been very impressed with it. Have added a 2TB 980 and am now testing ram to take it to 32gb. This Slim 7i has impressed me so much I ordered a Pro 7i with RTX 4090, 32gb of ram 1TB storage and also ordered a 2TB 980 for it. The Pro 7i is going to replace my old desktop and the Slim 7i is the new mobile lappy.

Thanks for the livestream! I have a 2021 Legion 5 pro chosen largely from your review on it and it looks like the build quality is very similar to this pro 7i. Shame they downgraded some features from the old pro 7i. Really wanted a larger screen model like the strix 18 but it has way to many issues with backlight bleed, etc. The HP omen 17 4090, 32GB, 1TB is $450 more than the pro 7i with same specs. As nice as itd be to have a bigger screen it looks like its not worth the price and downgrade in screen brightness/quality. At least I am familiar with the legion series and the ports are almost the same which I do like. Mostly rear ports are the way to go.
