  • Amazing review! Thans for your work! Do you think that the i7-16GB-1TB-RTX 4050 versions at 1600€ price point (current Lenovo promo) could be a good bargain for smart working + sporadic gaming session? I also need to often bring the laptop on the airplane, so bulkier/bigger form factor would non be ok for me. Based on your experience, do you think that there could be any better option in this price range? I'm mainly worried about only 16GB of RAM...

    • Yes that's a decent deal imo , u can get an rtx 4060 at that price though in other laptops.You might want to look at asus zephyrus m16 , zenbook 14 pro and legion slim 5 too . Ram depends on what kind of work u do, it's always safe to have more ram/upgradable ram slots in the long run. I have 16gb ram and realistically only 40% is available to use , windows takes 5-6gb, my antivirus , lenovo vantage and some other vital software take up 1gb in total 😮‍💨.

  • Brother question! I see your gaming test was made on QHD or FHD 1080 res. this laptops come with a res of 2650x1600.. by setting the game on 1080 res dont you lose quality? Or get the famous black bars due to the aspect ratio? Thats holdong me back from making a decision since most modern laptops come with a 16:10 aspect ratio screen and im worried about that I dont really wamma game in 2560x1600 but im afraid that if i set the game in 1920x1080 im going to get some wierd quality issue or maybe black bars...

    @allanestrada8837@allanestrada88377 ай бұрын

  • I’d love to see a similar comparison of the gpu’s in the 14 inch model. Although, I wonder if any GPU other than the 4050 will be made available in the 14 inch model since I’ve only seen the 4050 in the wild despite initial reports that there would be other gpu’s available.

  • Hi! Thank you so much for all the reviews, they are super useful and high quality. I am wondering, could you please let me know if you think its enough to get a 4070 laptop with 32GB and AMD or latest intel? I tested the 4080 ROG Zephyrus and returned it, while the performance was amazing, the build quality was plasticy and always super warm. I also tried the ROG Acronym but its super expensive and didnt convince me either, was also pretty warm... Now, I am curious if the Razer Blade 16 with 4080 would be good to get or should I just get a laptop with 4070 because the rest is way too expensive? I would like to get one and have that one for at least a couple years, would like to play Final Fantasy XVI on it when it comes out. as for as 4070, I like the look of the Samsung Ultra book 3 and The Razer blade in mercury white, the black/green accented version looks pretty odd.

  • Great review guys! Really interesting comparison! A small little nugget I was curious about. Why does the RTX 4050 of this laptop comes at the same MSRP as something like the Aero 16 OLED, which has a 4070. It seems a pretty big price discrepancy to be completely honest. Maybe the quality is a bit higher but that's a pretty big gap i think...

    • Thank you for the kind words! I am glad putting the NVIDIA chips in the same chassis against each other was a good decision! :) Please the prices with a grain of salt for now. None of those models have been in stock anywhere, and it was tough to find exact pricing. So these might not exactly line up with what real-world pricing will be in the end.

  • FYI - My HDMI port allows 4K 60Hz just fine. I have the 16in i9-13905H with RTX 4050. I agree that negatives are: 1. having only 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port - especially since using a USB-C dongle with 85W PD pass thru does not negotiate and does power the laptop 2. low battery life 3. thin, creaky, flexy bottom cover

  • 1) A dedicated power port is always better than a USB C power port because after a few years when the port loosens, then the power pins on the wire plug have very less surface area to connect to the laptop so it becomes very unreliable to power/charge the laptop. Sometime it charges others not! So the dedicated power port is a plus point for the 16inch variant as it is a crucial port for any laptop! At least the 16inch has one usb C. Usb C devices are not so common. USB A are ubiquitous; whether mouse, keyboard, pendrive or any other USB A peripheral. Only multi-port docks require usb c. 2). About the creeky noise : Yes it is surely a quality issue for the price we pay. But people waste metal. 3). The 14 inch does not have the dedicated navigation keys: Home, End, PgUp, PgDn. But in 16 inch you can get their dedicated experience when the Numpad is off.

And this comes from somebody who also owns a Macbook Pro 14inch with M2 CPU/32GB of RAM. I find myself using the Lenovo laptop for 95% of the time instead of my Macbook. Sure there are some departments for improvement but overall I am super happy. One thing if I had to choose between AMD vs intel at this time I would go with the latest AMD cpu-s, as they very impressive and they are very quiet.
