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.

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.

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.

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.*

As a one off vid, it could be worth testing the Legion overclocks on the GPU, I imagine that 10w difference may actually help out more there than at standard clocks. Testing both at overclocked that is, just to see if that 10w truly does nothing.

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?

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
