Any news on Razer Jarrod?
I would be more excited if Lenovo's pricing, especially on upgrades wasn't so bad in Australia. Lenovo are charging AUD900 to upgrade from 512GB SSD to 2TB and AUD470 to upgrade from 16GB RAM to 32GB. Beyond ridiculous! I actually ordered a pretty good Legion 7 gen 6 config in the Black Friday sales but Lenovo cancelled it a week later as they had run out of stock. Despite causing me to miss out on Black Friday deals they wouldn't even offer a discount on a different model. It's a real pity because the specs of their machines and warranty support are exactly what i'm after.
@@kobbycrentsil2859 Video coming later as they didn't provide any pics/video until a couple days ago.
Can you do a video about Mai new laptops?
@@sammyfromsydney couldn't you just buy a SSD + RAM sticks, then upgrade stuff by yourself, though? also, you should've contacted their support, although I can guess that you already did that, judging by how they didn't give you a discount on something else instead
Legion series was quite overpriced in 2022, i hope they keep the prices in comparison to the competition this year
I'm willing to bet it'll be pretty overpriced for a while, considering how expensive Nvidia AMD current generation GPUs are.
@@ZambiblasianOgre yeah they aren't that much better than last year either as well, nvidia basically just restricting DLSS 3.0 for 40 series only and then saying it's next generation GPU Ffs it's like saying student B can do math better student A (because student B is using calculator and student A can't) AMD isn't good this year either, thier GPU doesn't seem promising (at least not mobile one) let's see how they price them
i managed to snag a 2022 5i pro with 32Gb 3Tb SSDs 3070ti gpu for 1500 usd. I'm very happy with it. Replace my 10 year old ROG laptop. planning on keeping this one for at least 5 years min cause ATM its a BEAST machine
@@evilldead6824 that is a great deal and will definitely last you 5 years easily.
i got my legion 7i slim for 1500 down from 2k at best buy on Black friday, and it has absolutely been worth every penny. I had gone through a ASUS G15 and had to return it prior to getting the legion, and asus quality control just isnt there, the lenovo felt like a whole different universe with how well built and optimized it is, theyre simple understated machines that just work well and dont scream "Gamer" absolutely love my legion.
The best channel ever, things can’t get more professional more then this, as usual you are doing amazing job, keep it up and we will be waiting all your video’s 👍🏻
Hey thanks!
Me Too
I was extremely close to buying the Legion 7 last Fall, but decided to wait for the 2023 models. However, I much prefer the industrial look of the side and back vents on the 2022 model.
For the price, I think im keeping my 2022 model 7i 32gb 2tb. I got for 1900$.(im itrying it now) I dont think I can do any better in the 2k price range for a 2023 7 model.
I bought the top tier Legion 7 AMD model a few months ago when Lenovo briefly did a promotion for $600 off, and I've been super happy with it. everything's solid and I get great performance. other than the new cpu & gpu, I much prefer my 3 USB-C ports and lighting options.
Same Terry’s comment. Got the All “AMD Advantage” Legion 7. Love it. No complaints. I definitely don’t understand why they went backwards and decreased the number of USB-C ports and increased USB-A. Get the ‘22 model instead.
@@estoyconfused 3 type a and 3 type c is a perfect balance. many people still use usb-a flash drives, while most gaming peripherals do still utilize usb-a interface. purchasing a dongle won't be a wise choice.
@@estoyconfused I’ll wait for reviews of the new one but considering how close to perfection the 2022 was I might still get that one if winter/spring sales are good. I wanted the AMD version as well due to it being apparently quieter than the Intel one.
Looks good! Though I'd say I like the design of my 2022 Legion 7 better. For once, I don't feel like I'd need to upgrade. Lol. Definitely interested in the new gaming benchmarks for these new chips though. Thanks for always having the best and most comprehensive laptop news, Jarrod!
Same with me. At $3k for the maxed Intel model, it is expensive, but I do not feel like upgrading anytime soon. Many people do not like the battery life, but even without Advanced BIOS, I can tweak the power to make it last for at least 6 hours.
Can't wait for comparisons like i9 13950hx 4090 vs 7945x 4090 i9 13950hx 4090 vs 7945x 7800m xt 4090 vs 4080 vs 4070 i9 vs i7
To be honest, these are just basic upgrades, but at least they’re dependable in offering good performance. Really wish they’d do something more innovative like incorporate OLED, MiniLED, etc.
Lenovo seem to be playing it a bit safe this year. Hopefully OLED and MiniLED panels pop up for later configurations. Not sure what the point of more Type A ports are either. ASUS on the other hand have been impressive with their new lineup. I'm even impressed by what Acer are doing with the Nitro and Helios redesigns. It's like Lenovo have become complacent after being on the top for the last 2-3 years. Btw, I'd like to see a review of one of the new G14s from you. Hyped to buy one of those when they release.
@@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams Yeah agreed. I REALLY want to get my hands on a 2023 G14 and see how it does.
"Don't fix what's not broken" 😏
Definitely seem to be playing it safe which is disappointing considering they played it safe last year
Yeah not as wild compared to say ASUS, but I guess they also have far more models to experiment with too.
I have a 130w 3060 and it's perfect for me.Having the scalability means that I can lower settings sometimes at 1080p but always get good fps if the game is well optimised I'm looking forward to see what Lenovo can do with the 4000 series machines.i display on a 120hz oled and it's 🔥better than series x that I had.
Although i like the design of both legion laptops this year, i think they kinda went a little backwards with the design, with no indication of a fingerprint reader and the rj45 connector being in the old position, so you would have to lift the laptop up while connecting it. Does not break user experience though. Also i wish we had an all amd option like last year, and a 4k 16:10 screen.
As long as most inputs are on the back I personally don’t care. I dock to a external monitor when I’m at home, basically using the machine as a desktop, so keeping all the major connections hidden around the back makes for a much cleaner look.
@@jlb4685 Yep definitely! Also i wish lenovo got a bit bolder and would’ve gone with 4k 120hz display, switchable to fhd 240hz in the 7 pro series, like the ones seen in razer and asus zephyrus duo. It would make an extremely compelling content creation and gaming package.
@@aasishwarsaravana5748 Yeah they kinda dropped the ball a bit on the screen. Laptops don’t need 240hz, OLED or 4K would have been a better pick from me.
@@jlb4685 Same here! And i think high res gaming will be possible with a combination of the new gpus and upscaling tech from both amd and nvidia.
@only right opinion Depends on your preference. If you prefer high fps esports level gaming, go for 2k 240hz. It is also sharper than 1080p for that display size However, for crisp displays and content creation, the 4k 120hz offers a noticeable step up in quality and thus makes it look more like the macbook retina display in terms of sharpness. I would prefer the sharper 4k display over high refresh rate and good quality 2k. The 4k panel must however either be a fast response miniled or oled to justify its higher asking price over 2k display, otherwise 2k is great for the majority.
Hey Jarrod, any mentioning on the workstation laptop's from lenovo? I am looking for a workhorse for rendering and VR development in Unreal.
dude this guy just always keeps us updated bruh we will never forget him. Whose with me.
Thank you for your reviews! I'm planning on buying the 2021 Legion 5 today after watching a lot of your reviews these past weeks. The prices have dropped for me in India and I'm picking it over the Asus A15 (2022) because the legion 5 has gotten a 1440p 100% sRGB screen here. I'm picking up the 3060 version unfortunately in the stingray white variant as it's the only one available with the discounts. Your reviews really helped me to get a clearer picture on what to buy.
I love my Legion 7 from last year still working perfectly :)
Oh man, lenovo was one of the few brands that offered an amazing display but competition has caught up. There are mini LED and OLED panels now which look amazing. I don’t think they should come with default but an option would be nice
I'm looking forward to your review of this all important laptop. 🔥 , Im curious if the 5 will finally have a glass trackpad
I think the Legion Pro 5 is the new Legion 5 Pro.Since both LP AMD & INTEL uses HX Processors and up to an i9/R9. Another circumstance is that they merge 5 Pro and 5 together.They gonna make the new ideapad gaming 3 the new legion 5 non-pro 🤔
Hi! I had some issues with the touchpad on a legion 5 with i9 12 gen and 3070 ti config. Even with all the drivers installed from the manufacturer website I still didn t got it to work... I need to mention that the touchpad worked fine in bios but not in windows 10 pro... Do you have some advice? I returned it a few days ago but I m thinking to buy one of the 2023 models.
Hey Jarrod, any information about the new legion 330w gan charger ? İt released the pdf
Hi Jarrod, any info regarding legion slim 5? I've heard rumors about legion 5 getting the slim series
Best channel ever! Thanks so much to help us spend our money in the best way!
Hi JT, I'm late in saying this, but thanks for all your laptop reviews. After mulling over what to get after 2 years of overpriced pc graphics cards, purchased a 2022 Legion Pro 5i. It's not top of the line, but it's definitely faster than my 6 year old desktop setup. It was even cheaper than my desktop build back then, bought the laptop during the black Friday sale on Lenovo's site last fall. Looking forward to watching more of your work throughout the coming years.
How much did you spend?
@JarrodsTech Is it really worth waiting for? The higher end legion 5 pro models are going for much cheaper prices, especially with Ryzen. It's better than legion 5 by a lot. Right? We only ever get 1080p screens here, not just for legion, for TUF gaming (A15) which also happens to be on sale for dirt cheap price for the 3060 version with 300hz screen. Is the 5 pro screen much better than those? (I have dry eyes and some issues). Is it better to save some money going for the TUF or is the legion 5 pro worth the extra money? (Again, TUF would be limited to 1080p 300hz, 3060, but 5pro with 3070ti is like $400 more).
My Legion 7i with an Intel I7-10750 and 2070 Super Max Q from a few years ago is still going strong! Definitely the best laptop I’ve ever owned. Crazy to see how much more power they’re able to cram into these laptops every year.
Good to hear!
@@user-xy7um8vh5thow it died
@TwentyApril 2020 Did they replace it?
@@user-xy7um8vh5t sorry to hear that i hope they gabe you another for free ? it seems a factory defect because no way it got damaged of heat
I completely agree! I have a 7i as well and it's awesome!
thank u for everything Jarrod
Man, no Mini-LED or OLED with even better color gamut? Those configs could motivate me to save up some money for the new Legion.
Was really hoping for a miniled or oled option this year.
Honestly stoked to have just picked up a Legion 7i with 3070ti, 12800HX, 32GB Ram and 1TB SSD for $1900 direct from Lenovo. Also got 6% back from Rakuten! It's an absolute beast and cannot imagine needing more "performance" for gaming on the go. Overwatch 2 QHD Ultra I get max frames 165+, Modern Warfare 2 run at FHD 130-160 fps and Forza Horizon 5 QHD 120-130fps high settings. I also prefer the rear & side vent design on mine compared to these new models. With that said, the upgrades in performance do look nice for people exclusively gaming on the go or planning to run their laptop to an external monitor! I'm personally going to save the new gen upgrades for my desktop, which is still running strong with a 10700 and 3080. Great video as always, Jarrod!
I had an order for 2080 for 2022 legion 7i 32gb 2tb 3070ti, and 10% rakuten cash back, and 3% PayPal cash back. so like 1700 OTD. but, I just canceled it. want this bad boy.
where the hell do you get this prices from?? Im from germany and when I go to the website and choose a Legion 7i with the same specs you mentioned, it is 2.600€, thats about 2.740 dollars!!!! Why the hell are prices so low where you come from? xD
@@jdsd_ holiday surprise + LEGIONCTOPROMO + 10% rakuten cash, 3% PayPal cash back+ 5% military discount verify id me. they are expired coupons tho now tho. North America baby.
@Donald Wiggins the price (2.740$) was already with all discount options available here (lenovo christmas offer + 10% student discount) 😂
@@donaldwiggins7740 I had that same deal $2080 but one of the days it dropped down to $1980 - and I combined with Rakuten and $200 back from a credit card. Said it was going to ship in March and I got a shipping notification 1.5 weeks after I placed mid December. I will be interested to see where the price falls for the new 7i with 4080. For the prices that they were letting these go for, I couldn't pass up!
Got my Lenovo Legion 5 but there is a little bump around the power button (I mean the plastic is a bit curved and the part around the button is raising a bit). Is it by design or it's an issue, did somebody notice smething like this?
I guess lenovo is trying to simplify their legion range even more, removing the 5 pro completely and just rebranding the regular 5 into pro. I suppose its not a surprise since 5 and 5 pro were so close in specs and design in 2022
Screen sizes were different and quality build of the pro version was a bit better, namely screen wobbled less
@@MikAlexander where in toolkit? I don't see it. mine is amd not intel. I can change "cpu boost mode" but when I click on the link to go to microsoft and have it explained, it makes it sound like it is for e core/p core behavior. Which amd doesn't have
Wish Asus and MsI would simplify their line ups. Way too confusing
They also remove the thunderbolt.
personally might as well remove the pro and just use their normal numbering... it seems a mouthful adding "pro" in the name imo
Typing this on my lenovo legion 5 3070. I really don't need an upgrade, but if anyone needs to, these are the laptops to do it with. I'm still extremely satisfied after Jarrod's recommendation last year. Great vid mate, can't wait to check out the reviews.
I just ordered the 2022 version today L5 pro 3070ti max specs. It's already a steep price for me, I wonder how much will it be for the 40
@yehet1242 40 probably won't be worth it. 3070ti will handle stuff for a few years. Enjoy it!
@@typeguard I just got my machine and I absolutely love it
@yehet1242 nice! Enjoy basically the best laptop available for such a price 👍
why they so expensive? 1.6k?
hello and welcome I have a question ? Whether to buy Legion 7 2022 with RTX 3080 Ti or Legion Pro 7 2023 with RTX4080/90 .laptop for recording and editing videos on YT
The myriad of options for Legion 5 / Legion 7 offered by Lenovo gets confusing, I wish they would streamline their range a bit. Other than that Lenovo is my go to brand as they are one of the few manufacturers to offer on-site warranty at a very reasonable price in my region (EU). Asus/MSI/Razer etc wake up and serve your customers a bit better with decent warranty options.
Assuming they don't come up with another 5 pro this year, this current lineup seems to be pretty streamlined. Legion 7/7i for premium and 5/5i for mid range
@@Summer-xu8qu They don't have more budget Legion 5 version this year which is a huge shame. They are going more and more premium. Hopefully they won't become like Razer and Alienware due to their popularity.
Seeing some of the specs of the mobile 4050 makes me think that it might be worth it for someone who already has a desktop but wants a laptop for travel
Thanks for helping me pick my new laptop!!
any idea when you will be able to get your hand on some new laptops to test. Really looking forward to that
I'm glad I got the 2022 legion 5 pro and decided not to wait for 2023 model, it looks cheaper than the last year's model, I really don't understand why Lenovo is making these decisions, 5 pro was an absolute beast for the price, but now they're literally making you to pay more and get the pro 7 in order to have the kind of quality the 5 pro had
Hello, which legion is preferable to buy with i9 13900hx or r9 7945 hx?
Do the dedicated hardware will also work with different os like kali linux ir ubuntu
Hx processors are able to undervolting?
This year Legion 7i pro comes with 140W RTX4070 as opposed to 150W RTX 3070ti last year. Also, I see no Mini-LED option this year too. I personally, waited for 2023 Legion 7i pro, last year Lenovo backed out with Mini-LED Display.
Thanks for this fast update. Now i can buy last year 7i happily without hesitation 😁 + asus strix scar upgrade this year is the best!
I'm pretty happy with the 2021 Legion 7 AMD 5900HX with 3080. I've been using it for close to a year and I am very impressed with it. I don't really see a reason to upgrade as I think 165 Hz is plenty for me since I don't do extremely competitive gaming. Love the power this laptop has without being a massive clunky racer gamer laptop. A perfect portable desktop replacement.
and me to))
i probably used it for 10 years b4 update
I have the same Legion! It’s a monster of a machine. Runs anything you throw at it.
It is a very nice machine outside of the Corsair iCUE battery drain problem.
@@torpedospurs All you have to do disable the corsair services under services.msc
Asus have much more innovative designs but budget wise Lenovo got the category covered well.
I don't understand how, legions in my regions are always like 400-500 usd more expensive than Asus tuf series with same specs
Lenovo will always perform better in longer run
@@Deadeye2333 tuf is more of budget friendly version Lenovo released the IdeaPad gaming 3 for their budget department
@@Deadeye2333 Do you have e-commerce or something in your region, mate? It would help better for the sorting and prices, and availability. Stores sometimes will deliberately increase the price way over MSRP.
Exactly my thoughts…ASUS comes with new and interesting stuff every year with a badass design. Lenovo plays the safe game with amazing devices which just work for very reasonable money.
Hello! Does anyone know the TDP of the intel CPU variations of the i5? I looked for them everywhere and I cannot find them. Is it safe to assume it's at least 80W?
Does it make sense the buy Lenovo 7 with 3080ti now if I am thinking about gaming laptop. Or it is better to wait, but I guess the prices with 4080 gpu will be much higher. And big thanks to your reviews!
Huehue, my Legion 5 2020 is still holding real well after 2 years, and I am in shook on how promising the specs sheet are on Legion 5 Pr-ahem, Legion Pro 5 and Pro 7, both AMD and Intel btw, but I am unsure if I should opt for AMD again or go back to Intel since I do edit videos on it. my gosh I am in need of an upgrade since GTX 1650 is capable yet show its age.
At 5:02, do we have a RTX3050 laptop GPU with 8GB VRAM ?
I wish they WOULD offer an AMD video card as an option though.. I have learned a lot about freesync in the last year, and that is what was stopping me before as the low on most laptops was 60 hz. But on a 240HZ screen, freesync supports low framerate compensation which is the same as what laptop G-Sync does. I honestly would consider an all AMD 16 core/7800M laptop.
Could you please make a review of the msi pulse gl66 ugk with rtx 3070 and i7 12700H?
2023 is the real interesting year for laptop releases. I'm waiting for compassion of Razer, MSI, Lenovo and Asus top models with 4090 +i9. What is the best of them? 16-18 inches
Any estimates as to when the blue chasis option would be available for the legion 5 pro series?
A beast. I wish I could get one in Europe with US keyboard. Such a shame they don't offer this
I hope i can get an legion 5 with an 4060 this year in august/september for max 1500/1600 euro's because then i need it for my new study is that possible do you think or am i gonna need more budget
I am sitting with a non-gaming laptop (ASUS Zenbook 14) which has MX150 GPU. Going to upgrade the laptop to a gaming laptop this year around Black Friday. Really excited by all these prospects. Hopefully Jarrod releases a "Top 5 Gaming Laptops in 2023" video by then =)
There will definitely be one!
Intel UHD 620 in a 15w 8th gen i5 and no dedicated graphics, my ThinkPad wasn't really meant for gaming and with a 1440p screen it struggles with everything, can't wait for my 7i slim to arrive
2022 model was the best
There won't be any legion 5 non pro version this year ??
I'm disappointed by the fact they only have IPS screen options. Meanwhile, Asus is adding mini-LED to a lot of their laptops this year. It would have been nice to have this kind of variety in the Legion range.
Legion 7 2023 (gen 8) has a miniLED option in the specs sheet
@@janosjanos1517 That was there last year too but was MIA.
Asus gets my money this year.
Yeah no mini led or oled just skip
I'm disappointed they have no glossy options. Glossy ips looks almost as good as OLED, without disadvantages like higher price and burn-in and bloom effect of mini-LED.
Please do a comparision between Legion pro 7i and Rog strix G17.
Thanks for the video
Do you think there will be an updated slim 7?
Just grabbed a Legion 5 5800U/3050 ti for $569 open box at BestBuy, just waiting on the RAM/NVME upgrades to arrive but seems like a great laptop so far!
got my 2022 model im so happy with it i got the legion 5 pro intel. glacier white.
Thanks Jarrod for the review, Im after the TUF / Legion series
I wanna see the Razer 18 chunky boi. I really hope the webcams on all of these gaming laptops improve.
I’ve been waiting for this episode
Would it still be worth it to buy a 2021 laptop, brand new now in 2023? (Having Ryzen 5000s with 30 series GPUs)
As much as I love my 2022 5i pro, I don't love that in dgpu mode the screen takes 3 minutes to turn on after it's been hibernating and then it gets stuck on 100% brightness until it's rebooted. I also had to roll back the Nvidia driver to a May release to get dpc latency under control. I'd like an Intel CPU with AMD graphics.
I like that we are back to AMD cpu with NVIDIA graphics options. I plan to wait and see how intel 13th gen with more p cores might help even the playing field with battery life. I am tempted to to get an intel model this year, mostly for the 4070, depending on cost difference.
hey, i have 2 legion 5's with 3070 ti's for $1150. 6800h and i7 12700h 16gb ram 2tb ssd 1080p 165hz
Clicked faster than ever when I saw legion 😅 Edit : but disappointed after seeing the specs especially of the 5 pro😕
Can someone tell me if any of the display options are touch screen for the 2023 generation?
Well I am perfectly good with my Legion 5 2021 for the next 5-6 years considering my backlog so I will just be window shopping to keep track with tech developments
Is there a slim model for either of them?
no displayport? for playing witj external screen
Do you know if the Pro 7i will have Advanced Optimus?
do u like 2022/ or 2023 model of legion 7
Jarrod, you're doing my head in again, but in a good way
Looks like I'll be torn between Asus and Lenovos offerings. Strix (Scar) (G) 16, legion Pro 7. Liking the fact the AMD Pro 7 offers only one CPU option (16C/32T) and maxed out 4080/4090 offerings.
When do we ideapad gaming 3 ?
i hope they updated the ideapad gaming 3 this year. maybe an improved screen would be good
Why did they ditch the legion 5 17 inch models? why only 16?
what do you think of this configuration for this laptop? legion pro 5 2023 - ryzen 9 7945HX - RTX4070 - 1TB - 32GB - screen 240 hertz 500 nits - for the price of 1896.56 US Dollar
The thing that worries me the most is the bandwidth of the RTX40M GPUs. How could a 4070 only get 128-bit? I don't think it will have a considerable advantage over 3070ti.
Except for cpu and gpu this seems like a step backwards for Lenovo. I paid a lot of money for the top tier 7 i9 12900hx and am happy I didn't wait. I don't like less usb c, the body design is horrible, and although I am not big on lighting I do like having the options considering what I paid for it. I would be reconsidering buying Lenovo if I were looking this year, not sure why they regressed so bad. Last years model had elegant lines, a clean metal bezel instead of that goddy vent design that I thought they finally got rid of. Well, this may be my first and last Lenovo even though I believe they are the best laptop company because they care about their customers.
It looks bad and is 300gm heavier
I recently bought a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 6800H and 3070 Ti for 1500 and while the laptop is brilliant, the rgb lighting effects are really cool and the overall performance is outstanding, the same thing can’t be said about their customer service. I waited a whole month for mine to arrive (when it should’ve come in 3 days) and I might not buy another Lenovo ever again because of my first experience which was unpleasant. Leaning towards getting an Alienware if I’m being honest
@@moonlightcayenne8722 Alienware is worse, it is hard to get great service these days. I will have to say current gen 2022 was great and customer service was great, with me at least. I called because Lenovo policy states if they reduce the price of the same item within a month they will reimburse you the difference, they gave me back $680. I have no doubt that the new laptops work great but it looks like a clear step down. I'm sure the ugly vents are do to the increased heat of the 4090 gpu. I just wish things weren't messed up last year because mine would have probably had 3090 but it was never made.
@@mehdishirazi3 there's no increased heat whatsoever. 4090m uses as much power as 3080ti
@Niebuhr Yup, I know but the vent holes on the sides are much bigger and with the higher clock speeds and bigger memory I am guessing more heat. The other indicator is that they completely got rid of the slim 7 which ran hotter because of the smaller chassis. My model goes up to 97°c which is pretty high, close to the limit of 111°c. It also could be due to the CPU with the increased cores, not sure.
Wow. After a stellar Legion 7 design in 2022, these laptops are major eyesores. It looks like they tacked on cheesy plastic armor.
in your reviwe put how does the laptop frames with recording or streming
My only source for trusted reviews on gaming laptops now. I have the Legion 7i with Nvidia 2070 Super, really good laptop but am interested in an upgrade to a new laptop with a 40 series card. Just holding out to see what kind of pricing we'll get.
So what happened to old Legion 5 Pro? what's it gonna be called now? looking at the screen sizes (all 16inches) it's hard to understand these new models
I was waiting for this video lol Still debating if I should buy Legion with 3070ti or wait for a newer version with 4060
Lenovo certainly should be releasing some Legion Gen 8 models with 16:9 screens? For me wide screen ratios are more pleasing aesthetically and I totally prefer to get the extra frame rates for a small reduction in viewing height. If not I'll be looking for the clearance sales of the current Gen 7 16:9 screen ones.
I like the msi raider just for the oled screen but for everything else like the lenovo Wish the pro 7 has an oled screen
holy hell those new designs look insane
My budget around 1400-1600 pounds tell me which one can I take MSI GS66 or vector GP66 or GE66 raider
Brought my legion 5 2022 yesterday :)
Still no mini led. kinda disappointed..
Thank you for the links for the Gigabyte pre-builts, I am going to play with those. While I wish I could afford to upgrade to a Legion, I suspect I will be going for an HP Omen Laptop at some point.
I looked at the Gigabyte pre-builts, and OMG, over $3K for a RTX 3060? Maybe I am too used to the budget builds I see on KZhead, and don't appreciate the subtleties, but I think half that would be much more reasonable. But I do appreciate my Gigabyte laptop and Gigabyte's sponsorship of your channel.
I am about to buy new gaming laptop this year 2023 but hard to choose between Asus rog zephyrus g15 or Lenovo legion 5 pro
Jarrod doesn't sleeps!!! Videos after videos but the quality doesn't drop~ What a mad lad~😂 Thx for ur work❣
Is the Razer 18 the only laptop this year with 4k miniled?
If somebody use Houdini or software simulation. Would you suggest me this laptop. The legion. I'd like to know if it supports at least 64gb ram
@@MikAlexander Thank you mate, I'd just some reviews and see if it can at least support 64gb ram. Btw, do you have IG so I'd follow you?
Was hoping to have mini led monitor for this year in addition to a full SD card reader.
