Legion 5i Pro Review - The Best Gaming Laptop Right Now

[@strider029]

Intel version are actually way more expensive than the AMD ones, I can see the prices in the stores in my country.

[@tanthokg]

That is true. In my country, the previous versions, laptops that have i7-11800H was about 100-150$ more than R7-5800H ones and yet deliver barely recognizable difference in performance

[@roniersilva8019]

Same thing in Canada, idk what he's talking about

[@joelconolly5574]

All Intel machines are relatively expensive compared to AMD ones. It depends on what you need most in a laptop. The US does also seems to offer better deals then in many regions.

[@kennethwagener2691]

12th gen come with 14 cores vs amd 8 cores...

[@strider029]

Regardless of how many cores we're comparing Intel version is still more expensive than AMD ones. It also applies to their last gen models like their 5800H and 11800H (both have same cores - the Intel version is 100 - 200 USD more expensive).

[@filip.a.]

they increase the price on both amd and intel versions for first few months to get that sweet $$$ after which there are like 300-500$ sales which are totally worth it at that point, same way you can find Ryzen 7, rtx 3070, 1 tb storage option for like 1600 $ for prev generation.

In Canada we have the 4060 amd one that costs 1400 cad

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

I liked it better when the Legion logo was on the side, way more subtle

[@Filthy_Casual101]

Excited to see your thoughts on the new Legion 7s!

[@formulaic78]

Me too. This looks great but too heavy for my liking. I'm either going to pick up a Zephrus G14, G15 or Legion Slim 7i. I really like the portability of the G14 at only 1.7kg, but the 16" screen on the 2.25kg slim 7 would be better for gaming, though the G15 would split the difference at 2kg. I also can't afford the 2022 Zephyruses (would have to buy 2021 versions), while I can afford the brand new slim 7i. Decisions, decisions.

[@Chris-ru7cy]

12700H + 3070 or 3070 Ti is the best config for this laptop. The 3060 lags behind. With the 3070 or 3070 Ti it's much more capable. Also, you said 32GB RAM is the "max supported" which is wrong. It's the max you can order from Lenovo, but this laptop will support 64GB DDR5 if you upgrade it yourself - so it might be worth saving money by ordering with 16GB if your plan to upgrade the RAM to 64GB. Also, the prices of these in the UK are stupidly low and extremely good value - and yes, you can buy them now. Oh, and you also didn't mention it comes in Glacier White too - a custom colour option at no extra cost (or £10 sometimes), with a much nicer blue backlit keyboard. Looks way better than the grey body and RGB.

[@formulaic78]

I have the new slim seven i with a 3060. I'm really happy with the performance and the price discount compared to a 3070 model (I was amazed to see I can get easily over 60fps in far cry 6 and god of war at 2560*1440 with a little help from dlss or fsr, and of course at 1080p you can play anything). I'm sure the 3070 will be better but I'm also sure it'll be proportionately more expensive to the increase in fps.

Yep, I just got 2021 5 pro and I honestly like the look of the logo. every review I saw complained that it looked over the top but compared to what I've seen on some other gaming laptops (especially the Razer logo which apparently every reviewer likes to shill as "stylish" or "premium") is pretty tame. the light can also be turned off as well. unless you're working in a super traditional or rigid corporate system, I don't really see how the laptop's look can be "over the top".

512 gig ssd is so small for a machine like that but it's good to have the option to get a cheaper base storage option like that since you can just get another stick of a 1tb nvme drive later on and put it in.

The price difference between Intel and AMD models in my area at least is absolutely not false. Intel laptops are generally priced higher compared to AMD models of the same tier. The price difference(if I convert it) can range anywhere from $60-ish to $150.

I don't want to push further its small gain to no different at all. Already tested it in game, FN+Q to switch between mode, as i said the laptop will go to full potential when needed (auto performance mode) the difference is, when in performance mode the clock stay high even in idle and the fan need to catch up, stay spinning too. The difference is in quite mode, all down, but still playable as long as still plugged in not in battery mode. Idk about the channel at least provide two scenarios, or maybe 3. Silent/unplug gaming test, plugged balance and performance mode. Currently, I'm playing state of decay 2, high setting 1600p balance/performance mode is 70-89 FPS, quite 40-60FPS.

Even this years i5-12500H performs better than last years i9 models. But in terms of gaming there isn't much of a difference. It really depends on the price difference. If they are priced within 100 to 150$ of one another I'd say buy the newer model.

Unless Lenovo has put some kind of artificial cap on max addressable RAM in the bios. I'd be willing to bet money that at the very least, you could put two 32GB DDR5 modules in it for 64GB.

How is your experience in legion 5i pro and does it has advance optimus??

[@Moshe_Dayan44]

@@pranavapn18 The Legion 5i was a beautiful machine, with its metal lid, keyboard deck and bottom cover, and excellent, snappy responsiveness to all tasks, including the SSD read and write speeds, and gaming is outstanding. However, it gets hot, with the CPU and GPU consistently running around 85 degrees, with regular spikes just above 90 degrees even on balanced performance mode. Also, as a result of higher heat output, the fans are significantly louder than the AMD 6800h/3070Ti combo on the Legion 5 I opted for instead.

I love the legion laptops, I even have legion 5. But man the Zephrus G14 numbers are crazy. I think the G14 will be my next laptop.

[@DiscombobulatingName]

My issue with the G14 is that it's parts aren't high TDP, so they don't really get to run to the max potential of the silicon. I'd rather pay less for a Legion that gets comparable performance due to thermals.

@@FaridRudiansyah I'm using it for Revit work which is heavily single core dependent so the IPC boost would be very nice. I'm currently using a Ryzen 5600G and the 11800H seems mostly like a side grade CPU-wise. The GPU will let me do some light gaming after work at least😎

I have been debating getting a replacement for desktop for a while since it has been having issues. Debating between the Legion 5i Pro with the 3070ti, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17, and the Razor Blade 15. The reviews I have seen of the Razor seem to indicate it is over priced so I am leaning toward the Lenovo or Asus. It would primarily be used at home and connected to my Samsung Odyssey G5 monitor and keyboard and mouse, but would be nice to take on longer trips in some cases

[@_fiftyseven_]

TBH, if you're planning on a desktop replacement, I think the Strix Scar might be a better option.

[@MrMalve25]

@@_fiftyseven_ yea I have thought about that and while I do still want to get one of them it is not as pressing as I got my PC working. turns out my Evo 970 m.2 Drive was bad so I replaced that and it is working fine atm. Still want upgrade as mine is a about 4 years old atm and could use a spec upgrade

@@MrMalve25 Well I think you should upgrade the PC itself tbh! Nothing can replace a desktop's power. If I were you, I'd upgrade the PC rather than getting a desktop replacement

@@MrMalve25 Well, nice coincidence!! I have the same situation as yours. I came to this vid with the intention of getting a Legion 5 Pro because of limited space in my room and more travelling. So I think I'd recommend the Legion 5/5i Pro.

Lenovo has jacked up the price on the 5i gen 7... 12700H + 3050Ti + 16GB RAM = $1780 For that price you could get last gen with an 11800H + 3070 + 16GB RAM (which is on sale for $1801.99 (MSRP is $2119.99), because they are likely artificially holding off releasing gen 7 models until inventory of gen 6 models dwindles) But the Intel variants of these laptops are absolutely priced higher than similarly spec'd AMD models Take that 11800H + 3070 + 16GB RAM + 1TB SSD @ MSRP $2119.99 Compared to Ryzen 7 5800H + 3070 + 16GB RAM + 2TB SSD @ MSRP $2079.99 (only a $40 difference but other models have bigger gaps) Lenovo may hike the prices equally from Gen 6 to Gen 7, but Intel variants are pricier... what features aside from historically Thunderbolt may play a part in that?

[@riichobamin7612]

Here in India, I talked to Lenovo online store salepeople and they told me that they expect the 2022 models to arrive in India in 4-6 months. Basically Lenovo 2022 models will arrive by 2023 in India. Fuxk this shitty supply.
