Palm rest on the keyboard is way too narrow. At least on the Alienware m16 (also a narrow palm rest) there is no number pad so W, A, S, D aren't pushed as close to the edge and I can rotate my hand so that it barely fits on the palm rest. Please tell Lenovo that this was a really bad idea. I hope the people that buy this and go "wtf" will return it because of this huge design flaw instead of hurting their hand, ergonomic efficiency, or using an external keyboard and sitting 50 feet from the screen

Yeah, I hope so. Especially since Legions are some of the few laptops to have performance modes and keyboard settings baked into the firmware of the laptops so they work in Linux. Maybe when Ubuntu 24.04 comes out...

I think the problem with this laptop is that Lenovo kind of shot themselves in the foot by making the Legion 7i laptops such incredible machines. To be honest they didn't need the liquid cooling gimmicks or the carbon fiber lid, all they needed was a Legion 7i with a miniLED screen and maybe the fan setup for a thinner chassis. 😊

Gaming laptops are meh. If you're on the go, use a steam deck or switch. If you're at home, obviously a desktop. If you want gaming desktop power and need to travel, Put the desktop in a suitcase, and a slim 23" monitor.

@cameronbosch1213

5 ай бұрын

@blastofo The Switch is a piece of junk that will age worse than milk left on the kitchen counter. The Steam Deck is good, though some people do want something powerful, although like you said, I would get or build a small desktop if you want something affordable yet powerful. The truth is, desktops will always outperform an "equivalent generation" laptop because of power and thermal constraints. Only the GTX 10 & 16 series and RTX 20 series were even close in terms of performance on desktops and laptops, and only if the laptops received the maximum power. I think something like the Framework Laptop 16 is a good middle ground; a relatively thin and light yet powerful enough, insanely upgradable (for a laptop), and with good battery life. There was a video I watched that basically came to the same conclusion; I would link it here, however, it would probably get marked as spam.

@cameronbosch1213

5 ай бұрын

@leahrodriquez1349 Personally, I wouldn't go older than Nvidia RTX 30 series or Radeon RX 6000 series because those did have some notable performance increases compared to their predecessors. Though I would avoid the RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti with 4 GB of vRAM, as those just do not have enough vRAM to play modern games. And if I'm being honest, you could get (or build if you're skilled enough) a small form factor desktop for a lot less money and it would destroy an "equivalently priced or equivalently specced" laptop.

7i with 13900 still beating the i9 13980 My 7i has improved greatly with updates since most reviews especially temperature Only the back of the keyboard getting hot without Max fans after time

With the 14th gen inbound. I hope the Legion 9 and 7 pro receive some tweeks. Legion 9 needs its limiters removed, because thermals are good. The same can be said about that useless water pump that adds complications and cost (imagine a Vapor chamber in place with the super thick heat pipe). Legion 7 Pro needs the same mini led option back (which was listed until removed) and a fucking glass touchpad. Maybe switch the metal bottom cover to the keyboard deck like MSI does and have a plastic bottom cover instead. Giving it a bit more premium? Thats all that is needed and both laptops would be a steal compared to anything else. I’m definitely sold on the keyboard and nothing imo feels as good as on a Legion or Pro Lenovo laptop. The only thing better is the cherry MX low profile but that is a different thing.

Hi Jarrod, I've seen a lot of your videos and you are amazing!!! I have a technical question for you and probably you know the answer, I bought a MSI GE76 1 year ago and it started to be uneven or is not flat anymore, everytime I open the lid the base woobles and if I use the ESC or enter I can feel the uneven base, I have used the warranty and they had changed twice the covers but the problem is still there, what experience dou you have with this problem?

I think 2 Type A ports a the back should be minimum as gamers like me always have their mouse and external keyboards connected. And connecting them to the side port makes for a messy look.

This looks like the best laptop ever. It has the best distance between the keyboard and the screen which adds more distance between the user and the screen, feels more like a desktop PC and protect users eyes by providing the most possible distance. Full-size Keyboard with no weird change in keys, very standard wrist support (about 8-9CM), perfect temp, hardware, screen, battery, and another extra light charger which makes it even more portable. I wish I had this laptop, I truly wish I could buy it. Gaming laptops have major issues with their low mainboard components quality and their weakness against electric shorts, and noise pulses, gaming laptops die (stop working) all of a sudden which it is scary. I hope instead of doing things to make them fancy, they decide to make them more durable for long-term use.

The price is TGDH!!! I’ll wait a while for the price to come down. Great video as always!!

Hey Jarrod. Just one request. Recently my Asus scar 16 I913980 Hx is giving same cinebench score as the Legion 9i in your video. Is there a sudden drop in the cinebench score for I913980HX. Please confirm... I am facing this problem for a long time. If you can run the Cinebench test again on the scar 18 or 16 laptops. Will be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Great fan.❤

Jarrod I can't help thinking that Legion 9 might perform a lot better with Ryzen 9 7945X3D because of that TDP issue in crossloads. Obviously the price of Legion 9 is too high for average user but I think power users would like to have Ryzen option too.

Hey Jarrod, is the Newegg shipping reliable?

Hello! I wanted to ask for advice on choosing a laptop, the problem is that one of the options is not presented in the reviews. We are talking about asus tuf gaming f17 FX707VV (13900H and 4060), and the second option is the classic legion 5 pro with 6800H and 3060. The prices are approximately the same: $1200 versus $1150. I also suddenly came across a third option: ASUS ROG Strix G513 R7 6800H/RTX3060 for +- 900-1000$ The priority is the size and color rendering quality of the display, as well as relevance for playing modern heavy single-player titles at high settings, and of course you want it to be reliable 2023 years' TUF specs looks tastier than Lega for the same price, but tuf 22 years old laptops were problematic, it’s unclear how things are now: I haven’t found a review of this model, just a few reviews.

This would have been great if it was an 18” screen

Is that wifi optimization thing also on other Legion models or only this one?

can someone help me? Should I pick the lenovo loq, or the asus tuf a16?

Quick question, can you put an ssd with heatsink inside laptop? since Legion Slim 5 seem to have that kind of space but I cant afford another laptop if something goes wrong. did anyone try?

Contrast 1:1 :D. I hope we keep exploring the liquid internal systems. Years ago I saw an LG laptop with a liquid cooling internal solution that kept the laptop cool while all other laptops at the time were very hot. (thou I do not understand why its on the memory and not the CPU/GPU).

How hard is it to get used to the thinner touchpad and keyboard positioning? It looks like it would be awkward to type on.

22:40 i noticed i some games such as Apex or Cyberpunk , when i'm playing in lower resolution such as 1080p , i get really bad fps and bad cpu - gpu utilization. I did some digging with RTSS and what i found out is that sometimes i need to unplug - replug my charger for my legion pro 7i to be able to use max cpu - gpu power. this makes my fps better instantly. I don't know why this is a thing but it is definitely real , more people should test it to confirm. i don't know if it's the same on legion 9i

Here’s the comparison vid to do - Legion 9i vs. 7i, both with 4090. I mean, I know the outcome. Performance 97% the same, so it isn’t worth it unless you’re dying for that mini-LED screen. But still, a detailed video would be really interesting.

At the top of the review (and towards the end) (review detailed and in-depth, as always - kudos), you mentioned the near-competition with the Razer; have you had the opportunity to play with the Asus Zephyrus Duo 16 (2023 model)? There are enough similarities (and differences) that it would make a damned interesting comparo-review (plus, I'd just love to hear your opinion on both). Same/similar: RTX4090 (mobile) at 175w, 16-inch mini-LED screen, HDR1000+, 16:10 screen ratio, similar pricing.

Hi What is the bests latotop, Lenovo legion i9 vs Ms vector 16hx a14v? Thanks 🙏🏻

suggest to use 2TB SSD instead of RAID0 for gaming. works better for random small files read and write, which is more essential for gaming

I just wanted to ask what’s best gaming laptop to stream and play at same time

I felt so catfished seeing an add for a 'liquid cooled' Legion the first time. I really don't understand why they went half way to blowing the Neo out of the water but just stopped at quick disconnects...

if legion 9 is going to be a new lineup then the next gen should be quite interesting, especially if they made 14 and 18 inch legion 9s

Hey Jarrod, excellent review! In both of the units that I received, I had this problem where disallowing the Mediatek WiFi drivers to wake up the computer from sleep causes the laptop to consistently crash when waking up from sleep. However, without making that change, the laptop will wake up from sleep randomly causing it to run extremely hot and draining the battery while in a backpack! I've opened a ticket with Lenovo about this and they're working to get it resolved. Can you confirm whether turning that setting off causes crashing in your unit? Also, changing the mode to performance on Vantage changes the indicator on my unit. So, that might only be an issue with some units.

Thanks! We did not experience that, but unfortunately we don't sleep the laptops all that much during testing, perhaps we need some sort of over night sleep test where we see how much battery drained / did it not wake up, not sure.

@@JarrodsTech Thank you for responding. It probably won't be worth doing for you post review but if you have some sway over Lenovo people, informing them of this might be of huge help to many users as it a major bug. The people handling my ticket have asked me to reset Windows to see if that fixes it.

Sleep is broken in Windows 11. Put the laptop into hibernate when you shut the lid instead. This might be annoying on an old slow laptop, but on a 9i? Lol. Might be an extra 3-5 seconds of wakeup time?

Hey @@jeremyberman8204, thanks for telling me about this. I ended up returning the laptop though.

HI i want to buy new gaming laptop with rtx 4070 gpu i am confused which brand i choose can you give me advice to choose wisely

Finally the Legion 9i, I thought you weren't going to get around to this great laptop! It is obscenely expensive though, despite excellent performance.

We weren't sure we would be covering it either! Have been trying to get a hold of it for months. Unfortunately, it came in just a bit too late to be included in all the end of year stuff.

@@JarrodsTechhow would this rate on your best laptops of the year? I had the 7i 4090 and sold it. I ordered the 4090 9i for the mini led screen.

Given the water cooling component, wouldn't it have been better to place the board upside down instead, in the unlikely event of a leak?

is it safe to use a 140W charging adapter when using it for gaming?

hey jarrod can you compare a Lenovo Legion 5 and a Lenovo LOQ 15?

Can you do a review on the Gigabyte G6 KF, this laptop has no reviews and it's been competitively priced.

Plz make a video on how to test a used second hand gaming laptop before buying

I found one of these used but like brand new in box for $2750 Canadian dollars. is this a good purchase? i was looking at a legion pro 5 for 1600 but for 1k more i can get the legion 9. all that worries me is the heat and if itll overheat and thermal throttle?

Intending to get either Aorus 15 i5 12500h rtx 4060 or Asus Tuf A15 R7 7735hs rtx 4060. Which one among them is better?

Which one ram should I get with this laptop a 64 GB DDR5-5600MHz (SODIMM, Over Clock) - (2 x 32 GB) or 32 GB DDR5-6400MHz (SODIMM, Over Clock) - (2 x 16 GB)

Inverted Mobo is a bad idea on a laptop lol very hard to maintain when cleaning and replacing thermal paste/ liquid metal

My MSI GS65 has it. It sucks. Makes every bit of maintenance and upgrades a long chore that takes way too long. Won't be upgrading to this model for sure.

This is so expensive but it not reaching 80 degrees with maxed out specs is really impressive considering a lot of pc gpus are at lower 70s at max use its pretty comparable compared to the 90+ degrees in a lot of other laptops

Does the HDMI 2.1 port output 40gb or 48gb?
