[@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.

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..).

Hi Jarrod! I'm in a specs pickle at the moment. It happens that in my country, the Helios Neo 16 with i9 14th gen + 4060 is priced the same as the 2023 Legion 5 Pro with i9 13th gen + 4070. I work from home, but it is mostly office stuff, and when I game I do on a 1080p 144hz monitor. What would be the better pick, hands down? Thanks man!

[@yesyesyesnoooo7762]

For me they're basically the same, 14th gen is just a bit bumped up 13th gen, 4070 is almost same as 4060 - because of the power limits you won't see the max potential for both unless you buy a Legion 7i Pro with 4080. The only diff between them is the brand and the design. But I'm a Legion fanboy so I bought me myself a 2023 Legion 5i Pro with max specs (maybe same as one of your choices). It's great so far, I use it for video editing, the 4070 is a bit lacking if you'll be doing 3d stuff or any gpu intensive content creation projects but it plows down games like a snow plow in winter.

Hey Jarrod, I am planning to buy MSI Vector 16hx laptop. I was wondering if it would be possible to know your opinion since I am very confused. The Vector 16 hx has 240 watt power limit (65w cpu + 175w gpu), while the Vector 17 and Raider ge78 have 250 watt power limit (75w cpu + 175w gpu). What kind of performance difference can we expect between vector 16, and vector 17 or raider ge78 due to the 10w difference in power limit? The vector 16 costs 2700$, which is close to my budget, the ge78 costs 3000$, and vector 17 costs 2800$. Is it worth spending the extra amount for additional 10w cpu power? If there isn't major performance difference due to additional 10w power, then I will go for vector 16, since it will be little more portable. It will really help me if you can please give your opinion on this. Thanks a lot in advance

[@snakeplissken1754]

I had a acer nitro 5 ryzen 7 5800h + rtx 3080. The powerbrick itself only really provided ~130 watts or so. So in anything cpu and gpu heavy you were draining the battery. Found it a weird design choice and during a longer gaming session you might have ended up with 40% battery left while plugged in. Not really a great design imo, for multiple reasons. Batteries deteriorate so your session time even while plugged in would get shorter and shorter. I think it should be mandatory for a laptops powerbrick to fully sustain the system under heavy load and the battery being not touched in any way when plugged in. Definitely a way of manufacturers to cut costs, but a bad way imo.

[@user-pt2el1tt1r]

Watch some reviews about the 14900HX and see the difference. Buy whichever suits your budget

Forgot to ask, what's the price for each?

hey i was contemplating these two but 4050 versions, but later ended up buying legion 5 pro 4060 version with i7 14650hx, but i have a problem, keyboard lighting options are quite lackluster and vantage software has the legion spectrum just not existing, talked with legion ultimate support, they said that its a vantage software problem that will be fixed with next software update, can you please check if you have the same problem on your legion 5 devices and let me know the vantage version pls, thanks! great comparison though. Lenovo needs to up their keyboard lighting, acer is far better.

Asus zephyrus is great but because of slim design it is more expensive,also hp victus which look more like thick normal laptop than a gaming laptop

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 !

[@yashrajagarwal3805]

Hey Jarrod, I just purchased Legion Slim 5 with 16inch, 1440p screen and 1080p youtube videos look worse than it did on my 14 inch 1080p laptop, do you have any solution, thanks in advance

[@mrbobgamingmemes9558]

It is same effects as playing games at lower than native resolution without upscaler like dlss. . I tried gaming at 1080p on my brother 1600p 16:10 screen at 16 inch and it look worse than my laptop with same games , settings , resolution, even if my laptop screen is native 1080p 15 inch . So do not watch video and gaming under screen native resolution without upscaler like dlss etc

[@OhioBoii330]

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)

I have a budget of 1200-1300 euros and I want to buy a laptop, specifically the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2024) (FX607JU-N3069) model. But I don't know if it is the best choice (I think the current price of the laptop is like that because of its release in 2024, and I would like to know if I can find a laptop with the same components but at a lower price)

[@vladlazlo]

I wanted the A series (it's the same, just with the amd ryzen chip rather than the intel). But lenovo offered better for the same price range or lower and I found more positive reviews. So I went for 5 pro. (Again the amd version). The legions has a 'í' if they have intel inside, like 5 i. So if you really want only intel, you should go for that (though I'd never do that if I were you 😂).

Hello Jarrod, I would like to ask an expert like you a question. Is it safe to play games on modern laptops with an external monitor while the laptop's monitor is closed? Will the laptop overheat? Can this affect the monitor? For example, on a 2024 Acer Predator Helios 16 with a hot i9 14900hx processor. This might be a topic for a new video, thank you.

[@selwing666]

Lol that will put it in sleep which will not allow you to use the external monitor

[@ujjwalmurmu4818]

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 😅

[@LebromJams6969]

same, using the 2023 version i7 and 4050 its really a good laptop, people glaze lenovo just cuz the brand is more well known

[@yesyesyesnoooo7762]

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.

So basically the only real difference is the brand, even if this Legion also had the same screen as the Helios. I'd say pick whichever is cheaper in your region.
