I bought a Lenovo Legion 9i (Early Review)

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Hey everyone. I decided not to make any more videos on the legion 9i. It's too late in the year for this to come out and at this price. In almost every scenario I would say go with the legion 7 instead unless you're an ultra competitive esports gamer and will benefit from the higher frames with the overclicked 6400 mhz ram at lower resolutions. If the screen is important to you, that might be a consideration. But it's not $1000+ better. And there's still some benefits to not going with a mini led screen for some people. Let me know your feedback in the comments.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

The flickering, the blooming, dirty screen effect, and sometimes inaccurate colors. In my opinion the benefits outweigh though.

[@kmdkmd-jz8pv]

⁠@@consumertechwarehousehow did the 9i vs the duo 16 you used to have? I had the duo 16 and it looked great for 500 zones but it did have dsc. Too bad you did not do a full review on the 9i. It came out late in the year but there is lots of deals you can get on it. In Canada it’s much cheaper than the blade 16.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

I'm actually thinking about deleting this post. Lol. It can be had for $3800 maxed out which is comparable to others. The screen is way better than the implementation on ROG mini led panels this year. They all use the same panel.

[@kmdkmd-jz8pv]

@@consumertechwarehouse I was able to get them down to 4500 Canadian, that works out to like 3300 usd. 4090 6400 ram and a single 2tb ssd. Would love to see more content on it if you still have it.

Great video man, thanks for the first look. New mic sounds great, also! However, I'd recommend adding a compressor to the microphone in post, because you're getting some clipping every once in awhile.

[@robertarmstrongjr6081]

The Lenovo 7i and the Lenovo 9i both have 2 speakers. I will take the 9i any day over the 7i. In fact, Lenovo is eager to sell the 9i. While ordering I got several generous deductions from Capital One and MS, along with my nursing license. Lenovo reviewed my saved configuration and granted me additional credit towards the purchase price, so I paid less than 3200 for the fully loaded Legion 9i. I was looking at the MSI Titan 18 HX but considering use, portability, and the visual appeal the Legion won. Very happy with my purchase.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Yeah. When I made this video last year there were no discounts on the legion 9. Now there's tons. I managed to get one for a similar price too. Great value.

[@robertarmstrongjr6081]

@@consumertechwarehouse sometimes best to wait until all the fanfare is done. Economy is not strong, companies are eager to sell and willing to bargain on price. I am grateful for such discounts 😀

[@consumertechwarehouse]

@robertarmstrongjr6081 I agree. Economy definitely isn’t strong despite what the government and Wall Street is saying. People don’t have the purchasing power they used to. I’m noticing that on KZbin tech channels too. Views are overall down across all channels because most people don’t have the expendable income to treat themselves to tech.

[@lordhades9455]

How does the screen compare to the Asus Strix Scar 16 with the nebula mini LED display?

[@PersonSuit]

I may be wrong but it looks like your palms may reset on the edge when gaming due to how far down the keyboard is on this. The Ailenware m15 & x14 also had the keyboard in the same spot and it felt extremely uncomfortable after 15min. Could you comment your feelings on that in the full review?

[@consumertechwarehouse]

So far it does, but the laptop is so thin, my palm sits closer to the desk. I'll need to spend more time to see if it bugs me though. But I definitely noticed my palms don't sit flush on the chasis.

[@kmdkmd-jz8pv]

I was just about to pull the trigger on the. 9i 4090 the other day. Lenovo was sold out so I was going to build one with the fastest ram and a 2 tb single ssd. Price was 5475 CAD with taxes. Later that day I came across a new in box 7i 4090 on marketplace. Long story short I got the 7i for 3100 cad all in. It’s working perfectly and I registered it with Lenovo with 13 months of warranty remaining. I love the 7I but I still with it had a mini led. The 7i was just too good of a deal to pass up. Just wondering what you think of the 7i vs the 9i since u had both. Thanks!

[@consumertechwarehouse]

I pinned a comment. There’s no way that the legion 9 is worth the price difference at $1k. Definitely not worth it at $5475 CAD vs. $3100. The screen is better but not there much better. For that price difference you can just buy a monitor or a 4k oled tv. lol. Also unless you get the faster ram and play at lower resolutions, the ram speed increase won’t matter. If the legion 9i came out at the beginning of the year I would say yeah! It’s a great laptop though but so is the legion 7

oh so it comes with 2 chargers? it makes sense to have a 330 watt charger then, cuz 140 watts seemed way too low for those specs@@consumertechwarehouse

[@furnitureandbedding776]

This is an interesting release from Lenovo. Sort of surprised really since it's getting sort of late in the release cycle. I really don't like the outer laptop shell at all too be honest. It looks too much like Uba Tuba Granite countertops Imo. You still need check out the AW X16!

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Granite countertops!!! That's what this reminds me of. Man I couldn't put my finger on it. Spot on. But that's why I reserved my opinion for a later video. Not sure how I feel about the material. I will say it looks better in real life than video though

[@furnitureandbedding776]

hahah yup. Just thought I was looking at my countertops when I first saw this laptop lol. Laptop appearance is super subjective though. Pretty impressive that this is the best laptop display you've used though. Anything that beats out the Razer Mini Led display has to be amazing. I have the PG27AWDM Asus monitor and still say the Razer Mini-LED is a better display.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

@furnitureandbedding776 honestly. I may have to revisit the razer. I like this better because of the accuracy and the response time is better. But it's not by a wide margin. The razer screen is still just as amazing. I'd probably be splitting hairs if I were comparing them side by side.

[@furnitureandbedding776]

@@consumertechwarehouse I don't really watch movies on my computer just gaming/office work, so I really appreciate the colorful and bright presentation of the razer and just in general prefer that style for gaming. I play a lot of RTS games, and the color pop is a lot of fun in. Just a shame I had a lot of other issues with that laptop. I'm on my 4th Mercury Blade. If this one has issues I'm throwing in the towel and will revisit next gen.

[@DavidManuszak]

So super early I know, but I’ve been looking at either this with the 4090 and 64gb of ram, and the blade 16 with the 4090. I take my computer with me to work so that’s why I’m sticking with the more portable size, if these two, which do you think you would be leaning towards for gaming and every day computer use. I don’t do any time of editing or content creating. More looking to get the best I can that will take me as far into the future as possible. Thanks! And great reviews.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

This is a tough one to answer. I've been getting a lot of questions on this too. I think I'll need to get in a blade 16 and do a comparison. Honestly you'll be happy with both. But as the days go by, the small trackpad is getting a bit annoying. The blade is better on many aspects. But the thermals are at the limit and the chasis gets way too hot to rest on your lap while doing anything intensive like gaming. But they'll both see e you well whichever you choose. I don't have a definitive answer yet though

[@tomwebb7678]

Debating on this same exact question. Razer Blade 16 w/ 4090 or the Lenovo Legion 9i w/ the 4090 and the 6400mhz ram speed configuration. If you ever end up doing a comparison between both of them, I’d be forever in your debt, lol. I’ve been dying to make a decision but man is it a hard one. I also have had ptm-7950 ready to re paste the cpu and gpu on the razer AND upsiren u6 thermal putty to re do the vapor chamber if I end up pulling the trigger on the razer but the legion 9i seems like it could honestly be the better option in which case I wouldn’t even need all that. I also ordered a iets gt600 cooling pad. On what aspects do you think the blade is better though? Seems as though I can’t find a single one unless we’re talking about the aluminum chassis / overall build quality tbh.

[@korober]

[@diegoromani120]

Hi, amazing review, thanks! Two questions, I am really interested in gaming while usb C connected.. Do you see battery charging and dischargin while gaming (it could hurt battery life so maybe they prevent it somehow) and is it the same as the legion 7i or for some reason they are different (performance wise)?

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Not on the 330 watt brick. I'll have to do more testing at 140 watts and report back

[@crazyelf1]

How hard is it to adjust to the smaller and thinner touchpad with the keyboard moved so far forward? Apart from the speakers being not as good, it looks like an otherwise no compromise thinner gaming laptop that is comparable to the larger laptops.;

[@consumertechwarehouse]

I wrote like 3 pages worth of stuff on Microsoft word last night and I didn’t even think about it. It’s more comfortable on a laptop with a regular keyboard placement but I was fine with it. I was using it on my lap too. It may bother some people though who maybe write for a living. But for the 2 hours I used it, it was fine to me

[@NJoeodjej]

[@L_223]

Maybe you cant answer yet but this or blade 18 for gaming dekstop replacement? And if possible try to get the acer predator trition 17x

[@consumertechwarehouse]

I was very interested in the Acer. I might check that out in the future. But either laptop would be great as a desktop replacement. If you care less about size and mini led, the blade's screen size is more immersive. Speakers are way better too. Performance should be similar though. It just depends on what aspects of a laptop you value more.

I'm going crazy trying to figure this stuff out. I'm spent weeks shopping and watching and struggling. I bought a dell percisson and it died in a day so I returned it. A nightmare.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

If you grade sRGB footage you will be fine. But if you’re grading 10 bit 422 footage there’s going to be details missing from the legion 7 screen. The legion 9 would be a lot better. But if you’re noticing that the screen is lacking, you can’t tweak it. The only thing though, the legion 9 is so much more expensive that it’s hard to recommend unless you really want the better screen.

[@sutv6754]

@@consumertechwarehouse I understand. Yes I'm 90 percent grading and working with 10 bit 411 Intra footage. I was watching some videos about Adobe an Davinchi and in the software itself there are color tweaks one can do contingent on the power of the computer. I paid 1850 tax and shipping free, for the open box 7i at BH photo. I'd be looking with tax at around 3400 for the 9i with the 480 gpu. WOW. 1500 plus for a better screen.

Never used the 16p but looked it up and seems like it's more in competition with the legion slim 7. I would assume you'll get better performance out of the legion 7 due to the better thermals.

Originally I had the 4080 7i pro with a massive discount from the labor day promotions but they changed my eta from 9/20 to 10/24 and I needed this for work. I was also having fomo about not coughing the extra for the 4090 and the screen being IPS when I’m currently using qdoled on my desktop. Hoping the water pump will also increase longevity for the unit. Unfortunate that it doesn’t kick in until after 84c but I can see the purpose to prevent premature failure.

Web cam is fine. Nothing special. I'll include a sample in the review.

I bought a top specc’d 9i - sadly, total OBF. Won’t boot, no response, only RGB turns on. After waiting 6 weeks for the machine to arrive, I have to wait all over again for replacement unit 😔

[@bluecali4na]

Got the 7pro 4090. Maxed out everything. Absolute garbage. Can't wait to get this one!

[@consumertechwarehouse]

What makes it garbage?

[@bluecali4na]

@@consumertechwarehouse Bluetooth doesn't work. Overheating issues. 4090 is not working right. Ran it through 3d mark and got pretty low score compared to others. I fixed the FPS somewhat but still have studdering. Internet drops if I'm playing fortnite but don't have issues with ps5 or any of my other devices. Windows drivers weren't working right along with Nvidia drivers. There's been some recent updates that somewhat fixed the problem. Watching movies has delay issues and there's flickering on the screen. Customer service said computer is defective and to return so I'm going to get the 9.

[@MiguelRodriguez-my3dg]

I almost got that one before ordering the 9i yesterday , what don’t you like about yours ?

[@bluecali4na]

@MiguelRodriguez-my3dg It was defective and over heating. I think the 9i is way better choice. The 7 was fine but didn't feel or work like a premium gaming laptop for the price.

[@bluecali4na]

@@MiguelRodriguez-my3dg It was sadly defective. I'm looking to actually get a PC and then a MacBook later on i think

I think I'd have a brain embolism from a water cooled laptop lol. in a good way or whatever hahah

[@wayne0320]

didn't you also buy blade 16 lol, is your wallet doing ok.

[@MrErico12345678]

macbook pro will easily win in speaker departement also. Probably not a big difference in prossesing power without powerbrick either.

This laptop is nearly twice as powerful than a ps5 and in many regards more powerful than the m2 max

can you give it away to me please

[@kennysponto6568]

Looks corky!

Legion slim 7i is better, only negative is 16 GB RAM soldered.

[@anafabulakz696]

good hardware at an absurd price, pointless 'water cooling' and inferior lid material
