I have the Legion 530 from 2019 and found at the time, it was the best bang for the buck for traveling for work and some light gaming. Nice to see them really giving these the love they deserve and listening to what needed to be changed.
What are your specs ?

Previous controller video: "don't use the gold controller without gloves, you will ruin it!" This video: uses it without gloves.
Well, someone already ruined it :P In the video you were talking about.
Next video: use it while eating doritos
It's already been featured in the videos, the finish doesn't matter anymore.
LOL its like that every time i have something new i protect it with my life, after a few drops it doesn't matter anymore xD (unless it brakes, then it matters)
He spent his personal money on the controller i believe. So its on Mr. Linus if he wants his gold finish or not lmao.
Linus when it was made: "Oh you gotta wear gloves with the gold controller" Linus now: *puts his grubby little mitts all over it*
They just didn't want it getting smudged up and having to clean it everytime they wanted a closeup.
He's only using it cause his wife will make him get rid of it if he isn't using it.
If they added a clear coat to it, it'd basically be protected without gloves. _I doubt they did..._ I'd recommend a ceramic clear coat from an auto shop, as acrylic is too cheap for it.
From the description: Buy Xbox Series X Controller (non-gold) Where I can buy the gold version?
You always want to take special care of that brand new TV, or expensive new headphones, but over time those 'extra' maintenance things you did become cumbersome and eventually the TV, PC, Gadgets, etc. just become "My Device" instead of "My New Device". blablalba
Wow, it has separate insert, delete, home, end, pageup, and pagedown keys, and a full numpad! This would be awesome for my programming workflow!
I've been pretty uninterested in laptops recently, but this one actually looks really awesome. Solid cooling, great IO, good looking keyboard, good refresh rate, good resolution, good GPU. What more could one ask for?
a fingerprint reader with caching but that’s basically it
@@jasooogle4043 Can you reveal the secret how or why you use a fingerprint reader, because, with no intention to offend, I really dont see any situation where I could find it useful.
@@nevencuca1680 Well it's just a little more convenient and faster to unlock, especially if/when you're on the go a lot
@@jasooogle4043 thank you for the answer. Ok. So instead of writing a password each time, you just put a finger on. Ok. I thought maybe there is something more to it.

Thank you once again.

16:10 truly is the superior aspect ratio, I blame TV for killing it.
But 16:9 and 4:3 is still the best for gaming but i accept 16:10 is perfect for anything
I remember my first monitor purchase was a 1920x1200 from Dell. Made me swear off 1080p
I don't even know why would an aspect ratio be better than the other
4:3 king of fps competitive gaming 16:10 king of light work/school type use (mostly on the go) 21:9 king of everything else
@@william41017 Screen space. the aspect ratio allows more things to be on screen and in this case you get more vertical screen space, which helps for a lot of productivity tasks

Just got mine yesterday and after having owned and used laptops from MSI, Asus, Razer and XMG this has to be my favourite gaming laptop. The screen is even better than my MacBook pros screen and it has no problem with ghosting or backlight bleed like some of the other laptops. Brightness is also a lot better. So far I'm really happy with this device and would recommend it to anyone looking for a really solid gaming laptop
Woah. This laptop is gorgeous. It’s like a way newer version of the Dell Inspiron 1720 16:10 display, num pad, dual storage slots, 2 SODIMM slots, lots of ports.
You should've asked for the Dave 2D white version It's freaking sick
There was one in the last intel generation. It looked so well.
I don't think 5 Pro comes in white, it's the regular 5 iirc
@@sushimshah2896 idk bout the pro...but the normal does come with it....they revealed it in their reveal trailer
I think the white version is in Singapore and Thailand only

16 : 10 is a wonderful aspect ratio. When I'm editing it saves so much time when the seek and title bars can be "on screen" yet out of the capture window. Most common pita is the constant waiting for auto-hide after seeking on a 16:9 aspect monitor before restarting the capture.
Hey Justin, can I ask what software are you using for editing? Im considering this laptop for Davinci Resolve

I have the Legion 5 with the Ryzen 5 4600H and GTX 1650ti, still love this thing and still performs so well for what I need
While gaming, I found out that if you cap the in-game frame-rate to the monitor's refresh and have g-sync enabled or disabled, you get the best possible latency. YMMV
This is just perfect. It's got everthing on my checklist for my ideal computer (a bit heavy, but it doesn't matter). I'm just waiting for it to be available, someday, here on Spain.

I got my legion Y540 about 1.5 yrs ago. This machine is beautiful, performance or looks. And this one seems like it's an upgraded version, with the nice upgrades I didn't knew it needed.
Yeah I miss my 30” Apple display. Had it till about two years ago. Love that 16:10
Love my Legion from 2018. This does look like a possible upgrade.
Lenovo really has picked up the pace. I've been ordering them for our company for over a year. Great systems.
Ya an ideapad or thinkpad e14 tht u got isnt even designed in the same state as another model. So one lenovo model doesn't tell anything abt another.
@@tahsin28 good point, the different devices probably have completely different engineers and such
@@tahsin28I am guessing they probably ordered workstation ThinkPads. My dad's work buys them and I get to have his old ones when his work upgrades them. He is giving me a baller-specced P53 that is being replaced by a baller-specced P16 Gen 2. Although expensive I think their workstation lineup are great computers overall and will fit the bill whether it be getting work done or gaming
I see how you sneeked in the gold controller there! So Yvonne did not get her wish yet to smelt it down again XD
They're going to sell it. Which should give them a bit more than just the raw gold price.
@@SanderEvers they invented money into manufacturing it. Selling the while thing, would be a sensible way to go.
Got my Legion 5 last year w/ 4800H + 1660 Ti. Happy I got to snag one, HW situation atm is nuts. Lenovo are doing top tier stuff with laptops atm. Tip: want Dolby Atmos to work w/ speakers? Realtek Audio Console>Device Advanced Settings>switch to Classic mode under Audio Director. This does make audio continue when the 3.5mm jack gets unplugged etc. (because speakers and 3.5mm is now considered the same device). But it's worth it to boost speakers, if you use them. The reason I did this was because some older games can't do proper audio device switching, and every time my headset unplugged I'd have to restart the whole game to get audio back. Huge PITA on my Legion at least, the 3.5mm port has extremely bad retention of the plug. I also recommend in Lenovo Vantage settings> Audio, Smart Settings, turn on Atmos and uncheck both of the "Automatically optimize audio..." boxes. = Always manual control over Atmos.
Thank you for your video! We take customer feedback very seriously and you help push gaming solutions to their full potential.
where i can buy this lenovo legion 5 pro in Germany ? there's lot of sites and im afraid of getting scammed on amazon and ebay. so i would really appreciate it.
I've been waiting for this for months!!!!
That pop @5:13 🤣🤣 Imagined one of the team members stubbed their toe into some workstation 🤣
Bought this laptop about 6 months ago. (in April) And I didn’t have *ANY* issues with it so far, It’s great for gaming. I can run a game, OBS, and Davinci Resolve 18 all at the same time. Its screen makes it outstanding for watching videos and movies. And DAMN that’s an epic aspect ratio, I REALLY recommend this. (im in love with this laptop help me)
Hey! Just about to buy it, would you recommend it for editing?
Helloo! It’s been a year since I got this laptop and I still don’t have ANY issues. And for editing, I do recommend it. But you could go with something else if you travel a lot since this laptop’s HEAVY. The laptop itself is 2.4kgs, I think. And I think they made a new edition of this laptop. Hope you have a good time with this laptop!
@@Toatallyundead Thanks so much for the reply I really appreciate it! I'm away for a month but still have editing work deadlines to meet so was just looking for something powerful enough to do my usual after effects and premiere work flow without a noticeable quality decrease so the weight shouldn't be too much of an issue. And yes, I was looking into the newer model of this laptop with the 2TB hard drive as well. Tahnks again!
Awesome machine, best PC i ever had! Even the build in speakers is awesome!!!
I own the old lenovo 5 with the amd 4800H (the 8core cpu) and its thermal performance is indeed incredible. It manages the cooling soo well that apart from random spikes the temp never stays above 90 degrees. I use it for gaming and 3D modeling so you know it is getting abused from all lsoble angles. and even when it is at 100% load from high poli simulations it stays at 88 degrees. And it has the same incredible preformance from games
I’ve been waiting for this laptop so long. I hope it comes out soon!
Wait for some more time as RTX 40 series GPUs are coming Q3 2022. Then this might get a little bit less expensive.
i love your reviews!!! so nice!
That extra vertical space is also amazing for programmers!

I really wanted to buy this exact laptop for a few months because it sounded stellar for the performance and quality you get, but I got tired of waiting for it to actually be available so I built a desktop recently with a 3900x/32gigs of ram/1tb SSD and I scored a used GTX980 for cheap.

Been using this Legion 5 Pro as a daily office driver for over a week now (furniture modeling and rendering). It totally trades blows and even outperforms my 3800X/1080Ti desktop in some cases!

@@Lickinlaz haven’t noticed anything. I will be happy to provide any test results you want. Replacing it (if it’s not to your liking) is quite easy and doesn’t void your warranty (they also have info of supported modules on their website)
Legion doesn’t get enough love on the pre built side. Great customer service and products
Apparently not when the whole legion 7 hinge issue was effecting thousands of people.
@@zachconant7031 limited compared to the amount of units they sell. I have a legion 7 desktop and unlike their competitors it’s actually upgradable, cheap warranty coverage and 0 issues after a year
@@cheapshot7244 Yes, Lenovo Premium support is excellent; US based (for the US market), knowledgeable in both sales and support, and quick turnaround for technicians for hardware issues. I had a Thinkpad’s SSD fail and within a week, it was fixed (and I got a neat little USB memento out of it 😉). Not to mention they own IBMs legendary Thinkpad brand, which you can see elements of in their Legion True Strike keyboard. Heck, the 2022 Legion 7 & 7i actually have MORE key travel than the 2020 & 2021 models! (1.3 mm on the 2020 & 2021 models vs 1.5 on the Legion 5 and 2022 Legion 7.) Literally the only reason I returned the 2021 Legion 7 was because they announced the 2022 models (including my current daily driver; a AMD Advantage Legion 7) within my return period. And boy, was it worth the wait (and a Wi-Fi card replacement, because MediaTek is Media$**T). Excellent laptop, even Linux works like a dream because no Nvidia on my unit!
How come i only encountered ShortCircuit this moment when im watching Ytube for years. 😐 Great video!!! And impressions 💕💕💕 New subscriber here & already hit that bell
I saw it get released in an email and bought it instantly!
I've had the legion 5i since last year and it's hands down the best piece of electronics I've ever owned.
Is it still comparable to newer?
What with all the audio issues these days LTT - you got all the best kit XD
Wow, then even offset the screen hinge to place ports on the back, can't remember last time I saw a back port!
The chromed-out design makes me more active in seeking ways to boost performance on my own. It's getting more and more difficult to see fields each laptop is good at.
It has begun been waiting for this one linus moving on from a acer nitro 5 with a gtx860m a much need upgrade legion 5 pro 💯👀
