My fan is making weird noise. Do i have to change the fan only or the whole heatsink ?

I love the review, so much detail, and so down to earth! Well done!

Could you confirm for me the official color of the 2023 laptop on the left? Is it oynx grey or eclipse black? Cheers

Hi! Thanks for the great review! Do you think that having a relatively weaker GPU (an 2000 ADA) would help with the overheating issue? Because I was checking the indepth review about that one, and it seemed that the temps were quite "controllable", and the device was still "usable" for some gaming. Also: If you decrease the 3070/3080ti wattage to around 70-80, would that drop help with the temps and still have a performance at the level or above the mentioned 2000 ADA??

Hey man, great video! Is that additional legs you put on the 2022 to get more air? How are they called?

Should I buy this in 2024

Is there a reason why my LENOVO SPECTRUM will not let me use the PROFILE's any longer? The only way the RGB keyboard turns on is if I press FN + SPACE and it only has the basic ones, not the personalized PROFILE that I would like to use. Thanks!

THIS is the laptop to get

Just picked up the Legion pro 7i same specs as the one you're showing and it really is a monster. I bought it for Music production, sound design and audio engineering. and as a bonus I can use it for gaming. I've owned it for a couple weeks now and I am very happy with it, it has handled everything I have thrown at it both in terms of my audio production needs and for gaming, every game I've been playing I have been able top crack the graphics settings to max and have generally been getting FPS of around 120. I've never been more impressed by the power of a laptop and the fact that I can upgrade it to 64GB and 3TB SSD later is fantastic. I switched from Mac after 17 years because they aren't upgradable anymore, so you're stuck with the RAM and HDD forever. I spent the exact amount I would have spent for a Macbook pro M3 and ended up with a lot more. I left windows a long time ago because I used to repair computers and I got so sick of windows issues and instability (this was around the windows Vista era) So far I have found that windows has made huge improvements in the overall stability of their OS and ease of access to basic things for example to change which programs open during start up, you used to have to go to search, type MSCONFIG and then go from there, now the start up apps can be found right in the task manager, not a huge deal but still nice, I'm finding all kinds of little ease of life tweaks like that, that have been made all through out windows 11. As for stability I can't speak to that yet because it has only been a couple weeks, so far so good but the only way I can be sure will be obviously with time. I took a massive risk diverting the funds for a new macbook pro to PC in a sort of leap of faith and so far i'm happy I did.

Is this available on gen 6 the 2021 model via update ?

Larger trackpads can get in the way when you want to rest your palm and type. If you type a lot, you would not like it. As a developer myself I get a thinkpad only for its keyboard and that red little trackpoint. Once you get used to it you will never use trackpad, at least that's my opinion. Nevertheless, great presentation and thanks for showing the upgrade options.

Hi! Would you buy this for 1300?

Greatly appreciate the detailed information 👍🏻

Performance charts are for Ryzen 7945HX not Intel 13900HX!

Bro do we need to remove thermal paste and cpu gpu while repairing hinge on this model i have the same model and laptop lid doesn't touches down from the left right side onky left side touches doen

Fun fact the 2023 model supports 96 gb RAM

How are you supposed to properly clean the fans and internals when you can't remove the fans without removing the Vapor Chamber? Which would then required repasting the liquid metal on the CPU and PTM on the GPU???? Over time dust and debris will surely build up in there if you can't remove it for a deep cleaning... I've also read some nightmares regarding the service on the vapor chamber, that some Lenovo technicians did not either reinstall the vapor chamber correctly or the thermal interface material was done incorrectly and thermals went through the roof? Little concerning that some simple maintenance seems quite difficult now. So much so even their 'certified' technicians manage to botch some services.

How is the RTX A2000 variant? Would you recommend? Most stores in my country only sells this variant

thank you so much, you would not believe how hard it was for me to find a thermal paste repair video on my particular computer! you might have just saved my GPU from heat death.

The thermals and power are in line with different laptops with similar specs. Which means you do not recommended ANY laptop for gaming since they would all perform similarly?

Thanks for your review. Afer watching this and other reviews I bought this very one 2023. I wanted to ask you if you know about upgrading Ram. I've heard many different tales. For the most part if you upgrade to 64GB of ram your speed will be reduced to 4800. I am a video editor only. My friend has 64GB of DDR5 ram he is willing to sell me cheap but it's 5200. Is that ok and will it be a for sure benefit for video editing in mostly adobe premiere, lightroom, photoshop and some Davinci Resolve. Please let me know what you think. My tech skills are not all that.

Great review friend, i came hear hoping to hear it would be fine as a workstation but not as a GPU intensive machine (which i woulnd't expect from a laptop very much anyway...) and you gave me that assurance.

I've got the slim 7 i9 with 4070 model now. It's more or less on par with the 2022 7 Pro model which is greeat for me. Sure, if you need more power go with the 2023 pro model :) IF you need portablility - go with the slim.

Very thorough and detailed review! Subed within 5 min.. ; ) Ps. I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and always wanted that Thinkpad keyboard experience. But maybe the tradeoffs in other areas outweigh those "magic" keys.. hehe! Although they have a 39 % discount right now on the P1 gen 4.. So about 2200 USD and then I'll get that older nicer keyboard too, with the greater keystroke travel, if I understood you and other reviewers correctly?

I am glad of the plastic case, because it is impossible to hold a hand on a metal one after an hour of playing

Hey there, I have a Legion S7 15ach6 but dont see spectrum on my Vantage Please help me !

Did the KPX help or hurt your temps? I see no followup video, and thanks!

The razer blade logo is lit up right ?

Thank you for this great review, especially on the thermals! I got this laptop from the company i work for (the 3080ti version) and im so disapointed with the thermals of the GPU and performance because of that. Whats the point of putting such a hardware if you can hardly use it? Such a shame, would not recommend anyone getting this laptop, especially for gaming, and its not cheap either!

Интересный обзор, сам пользуюсь Р51.

Sadly if you restart your laptop it will lose and profiles you make and change it to the default ones. I have not found a way to make sure they stay if anyone knows how would love to know. Other than that it works great.

@Braxtech - looking for insight here. Do you know if it's possible to get overclocks with Hyper-V enabled (I need it for work related items to run WSL 2 / Docker Desktop). From what I have done with personal testing, Throttlestop and Intel XTU both require API's to speak with the cores directly and Hyper-V adds an additional layer below the OS which doesnt allow for these software tools to communicate for Hardware Performance changes. I really wish Razer would give us some ability to undervolt and OC within the BIOS as Motherboard manufactures do.

I have the 2023 model Pro 7i with the 4080 and it's superb. Delivers 60+ FPS in all of my games while running silently in Quiet mode. Crazy.

Are you guys sure this is calibrated from the factory? Mine had a bit of a yellowish tint.

I like your video, its concise straight to the point. I like how there just that sexy ass machine for me to stare at.

I have the same laptop but my FPS in MWII is just around 60, I am humbly asking how you can get up to 100FPS? Is there any setting that have to do ? The laptop is new and no significant background app. Many thanks 🫡

You are very thorough and methodical! Are you an engineer by any chance?

Amazing review 👏

No idea why I'm watching this on my Gen 4 but it's entertaining nonetheless. I have the i9 11950h and 3080 16gb model

hello! as experienced user, could you recommend it for buying? Also, what is avg out-of-battery web-serfing time in hours (at your brighness) and dont you think its possible to replace battery to 99 watt/h that used in 2k display version?

Hello if i wanted using this at 4090 how many dynamism boost i get?

Who's going to polish their laptop 😂 Other than that you're paying a premium for the chassis with sub optimal cooling and after market on site service??

Thanks for a great video, gave me good confidence on this laptop watching your video on it, and I get direct sense that you know the platform very well as shown in the video.

Hey man! Great video Quick question: how are you undervolting the CPU? you mentioned its the core and botch p and e cores i guess, so its probably throttleshop? (lenovo vantage doesn't allow undervolting of the p cores). What's yoru stable undervolt? And regarding the GPU overclock, which program are you using for that? MSI afterburner or lenovo vantage? and what where your final stable undervolts/ocs

I have a P1 Gen 2 and it is still a fast machine but runs extremely hot under load -- it seems Lenovo hasn't improved at all on cooling, they just keep putting newer and hotter chips in the same build and make scorchers.

Can you make razor blade 16 comparasion to P1 Gen 6 or p16 and legion?

How would you rate its screen?

I love how Lenovo set cooling system to cover all VRM and use heatsink on RAM and SSD even on WiFi card. Not like Asus that place WiFi card under SSD and make WiFi card overheating

I have the 2021 version and I love how premium it feels, I would still go for performance but quality never hurts.

Battery life? It's a laptop afterall.
