Jarrod, I jus bought a 5 Pro AMD with 3070ti and have found out that these AMD pro versions don't have Advanced Optimus included. Can you do a video on if this impacts performance and battery life? There are lots of people on the Lenovo forums who have complained about the feature being listed in the specs, but not available on the machine.

I always find myself coming back and buying from the Legion lineup. I prefer the look they bring to their gaming laptops and are always top of the line in terms of performance. They know that the midrange laptops are the real money makers and take care of their customers with fantastic price to performance. While recently other companies have caught on and are now following the same mentality I still find myself going to them for the products I need. Every company has horror stories but Lenovo has always done right by me anytime I had to get in touch with them.

I purchased Legion 5 Pro (5800 3060 16 1TB). I came from R5 2600, X370 board, RX570 4GB, (8x2) + (4x2) GB of ram, 240SSD and 2TB HDD. The budget was meant to purchase at least an RTX 3070 GPU with a "go big or go home" mentality. After considering usage-needs-performance-value, I chose this laptop. I regret nothing. Now, it's my main PC. Work, play, it does everything flawlessly. My only minor gripes probably is the weight. In retrospect, my old PC was still okay even today, if it was only for gaming and entertainment. If only Radeon has more purposed function other than games that can compete or better than CUDA acceleration.

​@Simon Francoeur There were Legion 7 Slim in my local store. But they only carry 3050 and 1650. And afaik, the 3060 version is weaker than Legion 5 Pro due to power-heat-dimension constraint. Admittedly would probably still has plenty headroom for me, but I rather gamble on higher TDP of the same thing. Not to mention the 3060 version being more expensive. I could buy a Huion Kamvas 13 for the price gap. Also, I was a bit scared of its structural integrity due to the thing being so thin.

Currently Im using Lenovo Legion 5 (2020), with RTX 2060 and Ryzen 4800H. Laptop is still good enough for current games with medium settings. From what I see Lenovo Legion series has been consistent and looking at the new 2022 model seems like its still the case. I recommend getting into this laptop series because I don't have issues with the build quality, and their website give easy information if I have to troubleshoot something. Great video Jarred, hope to see this again next year when 2023 model come out!

My legion 5i gen 7 display stopped working all of a sudden, coincidentally right after i connected external monitor to it. Its barely been a month with this device. Saved up for 1 year to get this. I had a lenovo y series laptop 7 years ago too stop working with a faulty hard drive just about a month or so after buying. I switched to MSI. Ran smooth for 6 years straight. I thought I'd give lenovo another chance. It seems like not a matter of luck. I did a poll on reddit to see how many users have similar laptop breaking problems. The percentage is as high as 10-18%. Nowhere near the odds of 1 in a 1000 chance of something bad happening to your device. I'm done with Lenovo.

Gentlemen, listen to me very carefully. I'm one of those fortunate few who get to have similar in characteristics model as Lenovo *Legion 5 1717ACH6H 1920x1080, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 3.2Mgz, Ram16 GB, SSD 1 TB, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070* and well, let me say I immediately regretted the purchase. The reason for this the lack reveal the potential of technical characteristics and powerful components. As we all know, almost all laptops have a very weak cooling system. In demanding games and applications over time, each work becomes slower notebook, laptop heats up quickly, noise, or is disabled after the long-term operation. Unfortunately, the only option that can help it is decline CPU frequency as a consequence and potential. Of course, Lenovo or MSI not responsible for the unjustified expectations of the Purchaser. in any case do not make a hasty purchase, potentially generating dissatisfaction and frustration. *Best regards, MMD.*

Jarrod Hi! I have question for you , I bought asus rog strix g15 couple weeks ago but had not done enough research about mux switch! Which my model does not have ... i did change faster ram and it boosted frames a lot in many games ! But what I am wondering is would I still benefit much if I had laptop with mux switch? I still have 16 days time to return it. Also if you can answer about screen ratio , seems legion pro laptops have 16:10 ratio, do you think that would be better for me as I do alot of video editing and gaming? Thanks and thumbs up for video👍😛

Webcam doesn't work anymore, the right click on the track pad doesn't respond sometimes unless pushed down hard and the speakers are blown out but it still runs okay and plays current gen games well enough (though you can cook a steak on it while it runs said games).

More type-C ports is not better, maybe in the future it would be but honestly right now type-C has very limited uses on computers without using a dongle, for the most part they are mainly just used for thunderbolt, DP out, and hubs to add ports (usually for type-A), it's pretty stupid right now that they keep reducing type-A for type-C in laptops due to most USB devices for computer using type-A. Honestly till PC peripherals start using type-C they are simply far less useful, heck on my Legion 7 from last year I've never once used any of the type-C ports, however at times I've had all 3 type-A ports in use.

If I'm mostly going to be using it for lower end games and browsing, is it worth paying the premium for the WQHD screen? Wondering if the 3070 on a 1080p screen would be overkill Jarrod never seems to place much emphasis on the WQHD screen being more standard in the 2022 version..

Hey Jarrod, If you could please raise awareness among these issues in the Legion lineup I have been experiencing 1. the AMD FTPM issue that causes stuttering in windows 11 (There are so many stutters dude) and my latencymon results are also not that good because of it 2. A bios update reduced performance of all legion laptops about 10-15%, this has been there for quite awhile dont know whether they fixed it 3. AMD has already released the fix for the stuttering issues relating to its FTPM and Lenovo hasn't still released the fix for it through a BIOS update meanwhile some other vendors have already released it. 4. IDK why but my legion's battery life is also poor (I'm unable to return it or put it to warranty because my country's customers service is the worse dude. I live in Sri Lanka) 5. My laptop came shipped with MEDIATEK Wifi 6 MT7921 Wifi card. Got to say its sucks. I get random ping spikes in every multiplayer game im playing. Ping rises from 30 second or 15 second intervals and returns back to normal. My Specs: Legion 5 Gen 6 15ACH6H RTX 3060 16 GB RAM 1TB SSD Ryzen 7 5800H MEDIATEK Wifi 6 MT7921 Wifi Adapter
