Jared, question. For the Legion 7i - where would you rank the 4060 version with the i7 vs the 4070 version? Here in the US they have the 4060 version for $1,299 for Black Friday. I doubt the 4070 would come down to that price, considering the vram and the tpg of both being the same I don’t see the performance to be that noticeable? I’ll like to know your thoughts on that..

[@RavenTM623]

Do you think the G14 with 16gb at $1150 with AMD processor and 4060 is still worth it? I'm looking for something light that will work for some video editing on the go and gaming. I have a powerful rig at home but I'm going to be moving around soon, so I'm looking for something that is lightweight.

[@JarrodsTech]

@@sanderm4n51 4060 is on the higher side, given we've seen 4070 for 11% more money and it performs 20% better in games, makes the 4060 less value. That said my rankings here aren't specific to the specs I have listed.

hey jarod i recently got the msi vector 16 hx 2024 with a better qhd+ screen with a 4080 and i9 for a killer deal (i live in europe everything else 4080 is way too expensive) but for some reason u havnt reviewed it or talked about it at all this year, probably cus u reviewed the gp68hx last year which is basically the same but with that crapy screen, do you think i made the right choice and if so what rank would u place it in based on ur prior knowledge lol thanks!

LOQ has been a livesaver. I live in Kazakhstan and it is absolutely the best 4060/4070 laptop for the price (1400+ dollars, which is cheap for a laptop here). I was about to get 2k+ dollars for a similar set up from Asus

My friend keep running into frequent crashes/BSOD with the loq 15 lol (he got it a week ago and rn hes still trying to fix it)

[@albertotrigosbueno5547]

that is what i was thinking, it is a great budget laptop for people with little access to money (i'm one of them mind you even if i'm from 1st world country, i'm disable and don't work) it's miles better than the competition which give you shit at that price point. But if u are in a decent spot, save a bit more, the screen is utterly trash, maybe people can live with the average display but the response time are HORRIBLE, to the point i didnt realize i was getting depressed and not playing much. Second point is normally people buy the cheaper version, so they ended up like me with an 4 core cpu from intel, which is not enough for any competitive game, you can play at 60fps at most game, but so i 300-400 used pc can, if u read this DO NOT BUY I5s!!! go for amd or atleast a 6 core cpu (6 performance cpu, not ecores or hyperthreat) I bought an gigabyte aorus 16x to replace the loq, and mind you it has so many flaws, the keyboard makes me cry, the ports are so bad designed, but it is what i could do (atleast thermals and screen are superb), 1400 euros and i was stretching it, since covid the rules for financing are so high not even my parents can finance, idk what is the point of financing if u are rich in the first place, because poor or middle class can't anymore (with the bank my parents can but they have a life i can't expect them to have loans free) so i ended up with the most affordable one with a shitty loan company with tons of interest (81 euros month 2 years, when i saw an asus g18 for 54 for 36 months with 0 interest, dam i'm still mad) in the same page there was a asus g16 at 1800 but that was going to 140 euros month, i don't even have that much less in my goberment pay to get it and even if selling my old one and the steam deck would've been enough what the point of getting a laptop if i can't even buy a single game or mantain gamepass XD. Hope some days people realize autism people are not dumb and i can get a job. Resume if u don't want to read all (yes i know that i'm annoying, hence the resume xd) , if u want to buy loq, buy the 16 one not the 15, (the full hd screen is dogshit with horrible pixel response time and super dull) and don't ever buy an i5, 4 cores are not enough, buy ryzen 5 o 7 or intel starting from i7 or i5 13450hx (the only i5 with 6 real cores) Sorry for typing mistakes i'll fix later xd

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

It all depends on your region. For instance, in my country G14 is around 2010$ while A14 is 1435$. So in my case, it is G14 that is way overpriced. I guess maybe it has all to do with the branding & what is considered "premium" ? A14 for example has plastic keyboard deck - which is why it may be considered "lower tier" product... but I am not sure if this is the reason. So in my country you basically need to pay a "premium tax" for G14, while it is not necessarily better in every aspect than A14. For me, for example, if A14 had that all-metal build it would be no brainier descension - especially at this price-point.

In my country, the G14 w/ 8945HS 32GB RAM RTX4060 costs about $2300. Meanwhile, the TUF A14 w/ HX370 32GB RAM RTX4060 costs about $1780. That $520 difference is enough to make the A14 worth the price if you're looking a "cheaper" G14.

[@theirregularadventurers]

After mentioning the Legion 7i being probably the exception that might probably beat the Legion 5 and probably rank the top of the list, I was amused with the comparison comments with the Zephyrus G16 that besides the memory upgradable slots and probably the slightly better performance in few of the games G16 was beating it all the rest of mentioned things Oled 240HZ screen, better battery, slimmer and lighter for better portability and not even at a higher price... I would also mention that for any gamer that at least wants to game on a laptop a higher 16inch laptop is probably a better option than any of the 14inch options (that is of course when you also get the best portability that you can get for a gaming laptop currently on the market and do not compromise on that aspect either - and yes zephyrus g16 nails it on that aspect)... so yeah... not to take from the rest, but G16 is definitely an S tier and arguably at the top of the list.

Just for some info I have had the legion 7i for a few months now and I would definitely say its one of the best looking laptops you will see in person. Performance is good but if you touch the right side of the laptop while gaming it may wven give you burns(because the metal body heats up a lot lot more than any plastic body would). Second problem is the wifi card. It is some realtek card and if you play fps games after some time you will see a lot of packet loss and packet delays. Thinking of changing it into a intel card but not sure whether to do it on my own or through the dealer.

Also the 4080 iteration is noted to be the fastest factory 4080 laptop on the market and trades blows with many 4090 laptops available.

The Cyborg 14 with RTX 4060 has been as low as $750-800 on sale. At that price, I would say it’s a B-tier laptop. Not as performant or feature-rich but a very good value for the size and screen quality.

When talking about the LOQ there needs to be listing of the model number not just release year. It clears things up a lot. As per Lenovo website (Australian version, may be different elsewhere) the three 12th gen Intels they released this year are: 15IAX9E (the new Essential); 15IAX9I (the ARC) and 15IAX9 (still 12th gen Intel but goes up to rtx4050). 15IRX9 has the more recent Intel and 15AHP9 is the more recent Ryzen. It would be interesting to see that sales pie chart showing LOQ dominance with a breakdown of which actual models were sold. I was thinking about the Essential this week because its cheap and I only need basic-mid gaming functions, but I just had a look on the platform specs on Lenovo website and I don think the 15IAX9E has Advanced Optimus. It is not specifically listed, whereas the other RTX models have it stated. I realise this would still have been a great laptop a couple of years ago, but it seems like a weird backward step for the LOQ brand.

You mentioned thermals as a downside of the legion 5. Are they significantly better in the 7i, or is it still an issue?

[@JarrodsTech]

Just checked over my Legion 5 script, don't see an issue with thermals mentioned?

[@joeanon8568]

@JarrodsTech "thermals are *ok*" I took to mean that you're not impressed, at around 22:43

[@user_5670x]

If you plan to buy asus scar series in the next few years or so, buy the scar 16 instead of scar 18. It's basically a 16 inched cheaper scar 18, and a rival to the legion 7i as they are similarly priced, plus it comes with a mini-led while the legion 7i doesn't.

I found a gigabyte aorus 16X for 1299 euros in Europe do you think is a good deal ?

[@Thenormalone250]

Hey, I bought it on mediamarkt germany for the same price. I really love that Aorus. It has a very good and bright display, very good performance and good audio speakers. Wifi 7 and a good cpu. There are lot of things that I appreciated on that Laptop. But there is very good alternative on computer universe germany. Lenovo LOQ with rtx 4070 for 899 Euro. I will keep my aorus. But if you look for a alternative with a very good price this could be yours.

[@JarrodsTech]

What GPU? Assuming 4070 that's the lowest we've had it for on the deals site, so it's not too bad as most 4070s in cheaper designs like nitro/victus are usually only 100 cheaper.

Currently eyeing an ASUS TUF A15 with R7 7435HS and 4060 for USD 1150 converted (PHP 66,999). Since I'm planning to buy this laptop in about 3-4 months and with CES coming at the start of the new year, I'm hoping that the prices would go lower than what it is today.

15:53 There's one more market I'd immediately recommend this laptop to: Linux users. Ubuntu and Fedora are officially supported, including with the fingerprint sensor, and no Nvidia GPUs mean better drivers in Linux and not having to deal with Nvidia.

[@CycleDoc675]

I jumped on the HP Omen Transcend 14 in late March before the G14 was widely promoted or available. Head to head, I would also choose the G14...BUT, since I am stuck with the Omen, I have learned to appreciate its unique features: 1. The keyboard is sublime: Best laptop keyboard ever in terms of feel (not looks, although I think the black version looks really good). Much better than my Macbook Air M3. 2. USB-c charging: Sure this is the primary reason it is underpowered, but you should see the small laptop bag that I can carry around with a tiny Ugreen 140W charger and TWO laptops, the Omen and Macbook Air M3. 3. It is insanely quiet for a gaming laptop IF you are willing to use software tricks, like Lossless Scaling on Steam, for upscaling and framegen. Eco mode with quiet fans, cool temps, and 120 FPS is insane but possible on this laptop.

[@adhishwarnarayantiwari415]

What's the con?

[@CycleDoc675]

@@adhishwarnarayantiwari415 Cons: 1. Generally, the HP Omen Transcend 14 costs a little more than the G14, and 2. Because the Omen caps the Nvidia GPU to 65 watts (as opposed to I think 90 watts on the G14), the performance of the HP is 20% slower than the G14. Now with those software tricks (Lossless Scaling), IMHO, that speed difference becomes null and void, but some people feel that is cheating (like DLSS framegen) and not "real" frames. I have seen the results with LS on the HP and I think it is really good...good enough to run in ECO mode with whisper quiet fans AND enjoy the game at 120 FPS. But everyone is different.

First of all really appreciate all the content that you put out it has been an immense help making a purchase decision for my gaming laptop. Secondly, we would still like to see last year models ranked in the 2024 list (like the legion pro 7, which I bagged in the black friday sales thanks to you). Because we wanna know how that particular model fits in with the new releases, and since it's Still being sold and is fairly new so ranking it again according to new releases will be beneficial imo.

[@yakitatefreak]

Perhaps some of the tier list options should have an order of precedence like how Japanese people do their rankings. Think of it as a tier list that reads like a textbook. The top left is the best, and the ones immediately following the top left are going to be slightly knocked down from that category. For example, if your C-Tier list feels really awkward ranking MSI's Cyborg in the same category as the Alienware M16 and Framework 16, the list reads as follows: Best of C-Tier is Alienware M16, followed by the middle of the pack C-Tier, and then we have the Cyborg 14 as the lowest ranked C-Tier laptop in this instance.

Great video, been very insightful. I wonder if you could provide your opinion on my recent purchase. Few days ago I had ordered the HP omen 14 as it was on black Friday deal over the G14. I bought it for £1360 (MSRP was £1799 last I checked) for the 32gb ram, 1tb SSD, rtx 4070 and ultra core 9. By comparison the G14 with rtx 4060, AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, 32gb ram and 1tb SSD cost £1699 (£100 off). Included in the price of the HP omen was the HP origins 60 keyboard + due to it being the intel version, there's currently the promotion of having assassins creed shadow for free + Indiana jones and the great circle. I thought with all of combined the HP omen is the best deal. But now I'm wondering if the extra £350 is worth it for the G14. What are your thoughts for the price?

The Katana 15´s GPU seems to be power limited so your 4070 performs like a 4060. The ASUS F15 for example (about 120€ more in my country) has full 140W 4070 built in for example
