[@drishalballaney]

my biggest issue with the lenovo is I wish it had atleast one thunderbolt port, would have been nice for future proofing if I want to get a thunderbolt dock, but then the legion slim 7 does not have an ethernet port which I use all the time both at home and also at my workplace

Jarrod i am desperately in need of your advice. I want to buy a legion pro 5i with 14900hx and rtx4070. I am scared that the temps on the i9 cpu will be crazy hot, do you have any experience with this cpu ?. If it is not good ,what is your opinion and what cpu should i choose for gaming which will not run extremely hot ? Please help me, i would really appreciate your advice

As a computer shop employee, I often test new gaming laptops during my free time to provide accurate recommendations to our customers. Based on my observations, models from Acer, Asus, and MSI (High End) consistently perform well under continuous load. However, laptops from Lenovo, Dell, and HP tend to experience a noticeable drop in performance over time, sometimes even causing lag during gameplay.

[@mrbobgamingmemes9558]

I am sure it is because of thermal paste they use simply dont last long,

[@energyman7998]

How do you test them? What programme do you use?

[@legelf]

ive used both msi and lenovo laptops and for some reason msi is the one that drops in performance the most, it also doesnt release the full potential of the hardware for some reason so i have a strong preference for lenovo laptops because theyre reliable although more expensive in my region

So which one would you prefer in your personal opinion?

I also have last years’s Predator Helios Neo 16 with i7 and 4060. It plays any game. However the fan can run quite loud and it’s quite bulky and heavy. Apart from this performance is good.

Looks like Helios is better when my first priority is better performance for creation rather than design and key placement. I might go with Helios.

[@view_360_Andrew]

In terms of pcmark 10 test on my Helios neo 14900 4070 compared with test result of legion 14900 4070 in the famous website “notebook “ review , Helios neo is better with Pcmark 10 score reach 9100 while legion remains less 9000, where there is about 3% to 5% gap between them. In game, the speed of my neo even reach 8000, I can not believe my eyes. The popular Ssd speed read test indicates that my neo is over unbelievable 7000, while its write speed is also amazing fast than most ssd including legion 5 pro. But its 4K read and write speed is 10% to 15% slow than legion 14900 4070.

[@7hkey]

Thank you so much for the fan noise comparison :)

[@FoxxFire]

I so appreciate your reasonable and fair explanations. So many other channels talk about how one laptop "destroyed" and "defeated" the other in performance tests that are less than 15 percent different. Here you attribute some of the difference to just luck (i.e. better silicon). And you could have really been tough on that Legion's screen, which is so much worse in every measurable way than the Helios. However, you keep pointing out that Lenovo offers another display option that will likely be comparable to the Helios' screen. Thanks, JT, for another great video. Have a great weekend man.

FYI, Thunderbolt costs a lot more than regular type c, and some people have mentioned hidden bios settings in Helios.

I bought Acer Helios Neo 16 i7 14700hx and RTX 4060 Version. I wanted to go with Legion for the same specs but the only thing that stopped me from purchasing Legion was that it doesn't have Thunderbolt ports. It's 2024 and even $800 - $1000 laptops come with at least 1 thunderbolt Port. I don't understand why Lenovo chose to not give Thunderbolt port in their laptops this year where as every other Brand is considering giving it away in their hier tier Gaming Laptops 🥲 Personally I am already happy with my Acer Helios Neo 16 since it's my first Gaming Laptop and Performance that offers this device is more than enough for me for Works like doing After Effects and Premier Pro and Davinci Resolve. I rarely do gaming 😅 It would be so hactic for me on the Legion because of its too much configurable settings in the Lenovo Vantage Software. Sometimes simple is better over lots of customisation for Content Creators 😅

I bought the legion one mainly because of the design and the keyboard. Basically all the specs of each laptop with similar price ranges are kind of the same anyway. But I do wish I had thunderbolt 4 'cause what's the point of having an i9 without it. Then again they're cutting on cost.

Hey Jarrod ! I have a Lenovo 5 Pro for over 2 years now and everything was amazing with it : gaming, productivity, 3d modeling. But like a month after the end of the minimal warranty, things started to go south : some keys of the keyboard failing to respond consistently, all the usb ports completely being useless except for charging devices... I took a warranty long enough so I hope that Lenovo will make it work again (amazing after-sale service though), but still I thought to give you my personal feedback on that beast that the Lenovo 5 Pro is (or was for now..).

5:10 I'd argue that the helios should get a *higher* score because of the torx screws since they are way less likely to strip and so are more suited for being unscrewed and re-screwed repeatedly.

i stick with the helios any day, 65w is just enough for light work if u had to move it around..is a personal case scenario of how much u move around

I find torx screws so much better than phillips. Phillips screws tend to easily break with each failed screwing attempt, while it's very hard to do with torx due to their design.

Hmmmm, i wonder why Lenovo decided to put the ports on the sides. They were putting them directly in the back with 1 extra USB port on each side. That was the deciding factor for me a couple years ago. I absolutely loved it and couldn't believe how much more convenient they were being on the back instead of being on the sides. Im genuinely surprised they stopped putting the ports on the back and put them on the sides and closer to the front.

[@TheOnlyVit]

because they decided to change their cooling system design, there aren't any spaces for the port since that space is for exhaust and intake fans. I also do really love their old port management though, wish they could change their mind in the newer model 😆 (which is most likely not)

O for Helios

Bro been waiting for zephyrus g16 4070 varient Btw love from india❤

[@MaRvElOuSmAhEnDrA]

Should I buy an i7 13620H + 4060 140w laptop or wait for some time and buy an i7 'x' gen H series + 5050/5060 laptop. Anyone can share your opinion. I am happy to buy immediately or i can wait for sometime until the 5000 series launch. Because its nearly 2 years since the release of the 4000 series. So i don't want to miss out on the new tech GPU. If that is the case will 4000 series laptops prices dip? Then which is good to buy a 4060 or new 5000 series that beat 4060? Very long question huh 😔

PREDATOR HELIOS 16 PHN16-72-91EY 19-14900HX 32GB DDR5 5600mHz 1TBGB NVME RTX4070 (8GB) DDR6 16 INCH 240HZ For 1,828$ is it good price??

[@Mickey_Milos]

It Is honest, not good not bad

[@MrJarmenK]

Little bit expensive for an 4070

[@userxyz783]

I'm rocking a Nitro 2022 with a 3070ti and 17-12560h whihc i added 16 gb ram to make it 32 gb ram and since Jarrod showed us how 3070ti is closer in performance to 4070 than you might think it is making me super satisfied that i chose acer over a somewhat superior but much more expensive Lenovo. PS I was pleasantly surprised by the wins by the Helios... i fully expected the lenovo to outperform! Wow For those curious I bought the Acer Nitro for 1230$ ish and got a RAM for another 40$ ish in my currency. So yea Acer all the way... meawhile Lenovo never offered a 3070ti in my country and only sold underpowered 3050 and 4060 or 1600$ 4070 granted with ddr5 ram but still almost 33% costlier.

hello can you review the lenovo legion 5 arp8 2023 against the lenovo legion 5 pro?

[@DeViLBLAde8]

being a very recent 2024 helios neo 16 i7 14gen w 4060 i say it has served me good for like weeks but i believe you should really buy legion, but dont get me wrong predator is no less from it but it's jut legion has better bios and software cutomization for cpu and gpu as i wanted to undervolt my acer but i couldnt do that

[@saketdhruw5363]

Hey jarrod should i go with legion7 4080 variant or anyother ?

[@xhd-nv6pl]

In my area Lenovo provides a 300W power supply, does a 230W power supply suck power back up from a full load?Should I test the power of the Lenovo 5i with a 300W power supply?

[@tumblevid]

Did you test with 300 watt....i got to know that it's compatible

I'm looking for a budget gaming laptop with mini led display, I'm I asking too much?

[@awalay-wz3nh]

legion is great but man theres a cult of them going around invading laptop recommendation circles going legion legion legion, even seeing some people telling others to magically manifest double or triple their budget to buy a legion laptop of the same spec as some other brands available to them (especially in other countries with different prices) At this point its bordering on overrated

[@Shokuhou_chan]

What do you mean double budget, i mean legions are in the cheaper side compared to other brand. Also you can't really recommend anything else other than legions in the same class. on the lower class LOQ also dominating only second to victus

[@jsjsjjsshw]

Did you use cooling pads for both laptops while running Cinebench 2024 ? I got i9 14900HX ,but i got a score of 1135 and 73 on CPU multicore and single core respectively. The fans were max and the laptop was on turbo mode. Did i get a defective piece ? What should i do ?

[@hiyanshshrivastava2265]

Can you compare these with MSI Sword 16 HX. They are offering i7 14700HX with a RTX 4070 at the price of rtx 4060 for the other 2

[@Fimply]

As a predator user, I can say that it's a great laptop. It handles everything I put on it. Plus compare to the legion, the predator is cheaper in my country.

[@4ri5Gbs]

Could you test Asus Vivobook 16 with RTX 4060 too?

[@MishaVarsanyi]

It's a scam

The Helios uses raid 0 ssd. Is it the same with legion 5?

[@ukranian_fighter]

Гарне порівняння, як раз вибираю між цими двома моделями ноутбуків. Lenovo Legion також має офісний дізайн, що буде меньше привертати уваги ігрових хейтерів.

[@shrey522]

I request you to please review Legion 5i pro 2024 and compare it with Li7

[@justinhawk835]

Yes

[@justarandomguy5835]

Could u review the gigabyte aorus 16x 9kg, also I could possibly get a refund on the aorus 16x and get a Acer neo Helios 16, what should I do

[@crabmans13]

Thanks for the Video, Definitely helped with my decision between these 2. Although i was looking at the 14900HX options. I choose the Lenovo, the clean look and portability with just about equal performance has me sold !

[@JarrodsTech]

Cool hope it goes well!

[@tumblevid]

How is it going?

[@rafoo92]

I'm looking for quite laptop with rtx 4090, what do you recommend guys?

[@mojogustavo77]

Lenovo and ASUS gaming laptops are my favorites in term of build quality. I’ve tried some of them in person. I have a Legion 5 Pro it’s great.

[@rafoo92]

[@bullseye2050]

Finally the comparison we needed !

[@nishanthsuresh4166]

Is the 240hz panel on legion 5i similar to helios in colour gamut ?

[@markhd3059]

Is the RTX 4070 in these overclocked or something? My Dell G16 only boosts upto 2175MHz

[@JarrodsTech]

Clock speed depends on the workload, you can only compare if you run the same workload as me.

[@AbhishekV.S-p4l]

@Jarrod'sTech It seems acer has locked their undervolting in bios pls help how to undervolt

[@Lt_Koro]

I bought a Helios Neo 16 with the 4070 recently. overall I think I would rather have bought a Legion, but for the same specs the Nitro was way cheaper thanks to a good discount. and so far I am very pleased with it. I'm coming from a 2019 Nitro 5, so either way it was a massive upgrade for me. I think theres really no dealbraking differences between the two so you should just get whichever one is currently available for a cheaper price.

[@user-pt2el1tt1r]

Why would you think getting the legion is better? Isn't the Acer supposed to have the edge 90% of the time?

[@Lt_Koro]

@@user-pt2el1tt1r primarily over cooling and noise concerns. Its pretty much the biggest issues I saw while researching. But also the Legions were way more expensive so... yea. Also now that I've used the Neo 16 for a while I cant complain. I still wish I could've waited until big sales come around, but I wanted to get everything dialed in before university starts

[@furryhousepets4245]

Does the hdmi 2.1 support 240hz for a monitor? I bought the legion and have a 240hz screen.

[@ImShubhamY]

You have to mention the resolution as well, if i remember well hdmi 2.1 supports 4k at 120hz

[@furryhousepets4245]

My screen is only 1080p if i remember correctly.​not currently with the monitor. @ImShubhamY
