[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

Yeah. There's flickering on both. I covered it on my razer videos. Im usually fairly sensitive to flickering but this doesn't seem to bother me really. I think I need more long term usage to see how it fares

[@oATXo]

@@consumertechwarehouse9381how is the pwm on your eyes? After 3 months

[@Voidstroyer]

One thing that might benefit the legion more is that it uses faster RAM (5600) compared to the scar which uses 4800. Not sure what the razer uses (edit: just saw at the end of the video that the razer also uses 5600, but its performance is lower because of thermal throttling). This might be a reason why the legion performs quite well compared to the scar considering that it's a 13900HX vs 13980HX.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

Yeah!!! I thought about that as I was editing. The RAM is probably playing a bigger role. It's kind of a shame Asus doesn't offer 5600 MHz. The Alienware x16 has 6000. Interested to see if that makes a difference too

To add more to this comment, the legion 9 with the 6400 mhz ram seems to be destroying other laptops. So RAM seems to be a big factor in performance. I’m returning my 64 gen legion 9 for the faster 32gb ram and can’t wait to do some testing.

Just picked up a 4090 legion pro 7i for $2500. Absolute steal, as someone who tried both the others. Even downgraded from the legion 9 to the 7i and find I prefer it. The 9 is awesome, but no laptop is worth $4200.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

When I made this video the legion was more expensive than the scar. At $2500 for a 4090, there's nothing better than that.

[@fmulleady]

Apologies, but the Legion smokes the others on value. If I want a better screen for more extended use, I'll hook it up to a high-end monitor anyway. On the go, it's perfect!

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I definitely agree with that. I spend a lot of my time docked. But for those who don’t use a second screen, the scar’s mini led is substantially better. Some people travel a lot, live in a confined space or just don’t have the budget for a great monitor. The scar has everything you need except for maybe a mouse. Also I chose the scar because I really like how gamer focused it is in terms of design. The legion to me looks sterile except for the rgb. It looks too similar to my work laptop my company gave to me. But having said that, I’m on vacation and could only bring one, and I brought the legion lol. I felt I would need to get some work done and the smaller form factor and charger made me go with it.

[@juancustodio6653]

Yes plus he didn't take into consideration the anti glare and thats why the picture quality is what it is , hands down the legion is better and takes the cake price to quantity

[@henrikg1388]

I really appreciate you taking support into account, with almost no other gaming laptop reviewers do. This was the one deciding factor for me picking the Legion 7i Pro. During black friday deals, it was available at a t lower price point than the Asus, which would be my second choice, but for a measly $200 extra I got four years of on-site support next business day and accidental damage insurance. No matter all the other factors, agreeing that the Razer is superior built, more sturdy and all that, it comes with a double price tag, and with lousy support. It is just a no-contest. If you have the budget and want to show-off or get that extra feel, but under no other circumstances is the Razer worthwhile.

[@Fivestarrs]

Hi, really appreciate your video, I've been shopping between these laptops personally and your video helped a lot. Do you have any info on the battery life between the three?

I think the legion was the best. but I didn't do a battery section because none of them are amazing. just the nature of gaminv laptops at the moment.

[@CaptainCookiez7]

Hey i’m looking at either the scar or the legion. I really like the scar but have been worried about the coil whine. The legion is really good on value and apparently has minimal coil whine. I don’t want to pay all that for coup whine. I know it’s normal and isn’t bad but i just don’t want to pay that much when i can get the legion and have none. Have you encountered cool whine on any of them?

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I had a scar 18 and the coil whine went away on it's own after a while. I can't promise that'll happen with everyone, but it did with me. Also unless you plan on using the silent profile a lot, the fans drown out the sound and you can't hear it under load

Fascinating video. I just ordered the Asus yesterday, and kept surfing for reviews today, as is tradition. I felt like you were putting down the Scar throughout this whole video and was very surprised you ended up picking that one in the end. :D Thanks for the great comparison video. Really feels like 4k is completely wasted on such a small screen, especially for gaming as it obviously reks your fps, even with high end gpus.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

The thing is I wasn't trying to put down the scar. But at the end of the video I realized they hit all the right check points. It didn't get first place in any category, but everything combined as an overall package, it's the best. That's why a traditional point system won't work with these kinds of comparisons.

Finally very detailed reviews and focusing on displays which is very important part of laptop, no? I'm waiting on your opinion on MSI GT77 4090, and especially that 4k mini led. I have compared gt77 with ge67hx oled and raider looks better to me and surprisingly not big performance difference, I guess got something to do with resolution.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

Yeah, QHD, versus 4K makes a really big difference in performance. I definitely agree that the oled looks better. Also, my GT 77 is very poorly calibrated out of the box and that could be one of the really big reasons why it doesn’t look good but I really love the DT 77 so far and I can’t wait to do a review on it

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

Yeah, I think QHD at 15 inches is hard to tell from 17 inches at 4K. But QHD at 17 inches you start to be able to tell

[@lifeguardkz]

So I'm so confused which one to keep, gt77 or ge67. I guess I'll wait on your review and then decide as I'm about to go crazy. Why not give people more choices at 17, 18 inch laptops, I'd pick gt77 17 with oled and would not even mind to pay premium, oh well

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I would choose that on a heart beat. Samsung makes those OLED screens. It’s up to them to start making them for the laptop manufacturers. They’re both good. And it sounds like you’re really happy with the ge67 which is a lot cheaper. Maybe not a bad idea to pocket the rest.

[@lifeguardkz]

@@consumertechwarehouse9381 You're absolutely right I am, I could give up on many things from gt77 just for that oled, but 15 inch is the damn deal breaker for me. Thank you for your quick response and for your content, so on point and very thorough, subscribed!

[@vahramgermanyan8874]

Hi, great work done by you to help us in a hard choice. Would like to see also an MSi laptop comparison side by side, especially concerning the display quality. I was going to buy Lenovo 7 Pro with rtx 4080, but I'm really concerned by its display quality and especially color gamut. Is it really bad or it's not just as good as mini led? I watched a lot of videos of gameplay on legion 7 pro and it seems, that the colors are not vibrant, they seem to be washed out compared to other laptops with same specs. Maybe it's because of color calibration, idk. Anyway, would like to see side by side gameplay comparison of legion and some other laptop with same specs.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

The display is fine. While the others are better, it’s not a dull display and non vibrant. In fact, the sRGB is nearly perfect on it. You would get a better picture out of the others. But you can get a legion for much less than the razer and scar for the same price. It’s worth it from a cost savings perspective. You can even use the extra money towards a monitor

As a machinist that works with Aluminum quite frequently, it's always hilarious for me to hear tech reviewers call it a premium material lol

Compared to plastic on the other 2 laptops, aluminum is superior though right?. My dad is an engineer and builds enclosures out of steel and aluminum but I stay away from that stuff. I work a 9 to 5 desk job when not doing these videos lol.. Why don't you think aluminum is premium as someone who works with it on a daily basis? And what do you think would be a better material to use?

[@mmcjld08]

@@consumertechwarehouse9381 I do want to say my comment wasn't meant to be a slight at you personally because this is an excellent video. It is just something that has bugged me since the early days of phone reviews. Especially with glass which may feel more premium but has greatly sacrificed phone durability and most people I know that don't watch tech videos hate that phone companies use on the back of phones (which I guess is why you see plastic is making a comeback especially with phones like basic S series for samsung). Back to aluminum. It is used because it's lightweight and much cheaper than other lightweight metals. It's easy to machine and because its a relatively soft metal it can be machined really fast, but with the exception of cast iron and steel it is the cheapest metal I work with (an example if there is a defect in a stainless steel casting we will take the time to reweld and remachine part so we dont have to scrap the casting. We scrap aluminum castings without a second thought). Stainless steel would be considered more premium but it's also much heavier and harder to machine. Titanium is a light weight metal and much more durable than aluminum, but It is more expensive and tougher to machine. Aluminum is probably the best choice to use in electronics but it is just a cheap material in "my world" lol so I find it amusing when it's called premium. I do think plastic is a great option in many situations though. It's really lightweight and can be incredibly durable and can lower production costs and thus lower the cost for the consumer(aluminum is definitely a better option in some areas though especially for the frame but using plastic in certain areas can lower cost as well as overall weight of the product without really much of a compromise to its structural integrity). It gets a bad wrap though because fair or not when people think plastic they think cheap. That's cool about your dad... I am currently in school for mechanical engineering, but I pay the bills right now as a machinist. Just an aside and not related to this video...it's also amusing when a big deal is made out of something being machined from a single piece of aluminum because machining wise that is way easier then trying to machine and hold tight tolerances for parts that have to fit together, but a lot of people know a lot more than me about certain things and may find things I say amusing as well so no disrespect intended.

[@frostgodx]

The one thing I can’t get over is being screwed by companies. Asus fucked me on a pg32uqx when that came out at 3k I almost paid for that and after two exchanges they basically told me eat shit and that I was ruining them. Last year I tried again on G14 6700s models and took 9 tries to find one with an acceptable screen that didn’t come from the box with broken fans or bad screen bleed. 3 M16 to compare them This year it’s taken 3 G14 to have a solid out of box experience. I know all companies fail but for fucks sake asus failure rate is high and support is fucking terrible. The only worse company for support is razer. After burning away 4 grand in 2021 and waiting with my laptop in RMA limbo for 4 months I will never buy razer again. 5ish years ago I had an Area 51 Alienware and boy that was great. I had a stuck pixel and they sent a tech out the next day and replaced my screen. 6 months later a led on my keyboard died. Tech came out again all free of charge and I ended up getting a whole new laptop. Best experience of service I’ve ever seen. Lenovo are the exact same way when I had got a 2021 5 pro one of my screen hinge was loud. They sent someone to me the same week and replaced the entire assembly no questions asked. Amazing. Now looking at all the options today I really really want a mini led option but I’ll be damned no company that actually has good service has one in the lineup (at least in the US yet). Count me the fuck in when the legion drops with mini led so I can rid myself of these QC trash ass laptops these days. Thanks for reading my book 😂

I'm freaking confused for the last couple of weeks. I'm willing to buy Legion 7 Gen 7 AMD Advantage. This Laptop has Ryzen 9 6900HX, Radeon RX6850M XT 12 GB GDDR6 Graphic card, 32 gb DDR5 ram, 2 TB SSD. It now costs around 2180 USD (previously it was 2800). Will it be better than 3070ti? or will this gpu equally perform with RTX 4070 mobile? I'm actually worried about it's content creation ability. will it be good enough for content creation?

my only issue with scar is the black screen issue I'm seeing in every comment section of videos, don't want to risk wasting that much of money if that issue still exits

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

What black screen issues? I think you’re referring to a bad gpu driver that was addressed. It still happens occasionally. But if I’m using my laptop every day, it happens once a month and a restart fixes it. Would have been better if I didn’t have the issue at all though

[@muuz6578]

yeah that's the issue, i still see lot of comments of people having the issue, and im not buying from a local store since laptops are very pricy here, i have to import from a different country so if any issues comes its gonna be a big hassle to fix them, thats my main concern, my safe option is legion but heart wants scar LOL @@consumertechwarehouse9381

[@hihihi1q23]

I don't really see how the Razer is the most professional looking. It looks very much like a gaming laptop. The legion, especially the newer on, looks very practical and understated.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I think the legion looks like a generic laptop until the RGB kicks in. The razer looks like a premium professional device. Just my opinion

[@omarsafwan689]

You’re blind then, razer looks very similar to a MacBook and MacBooks are professional looking

[@pikachu3b366m]

Come on dude the Legion is the best value for money. It's not even a competition. I bought mine for $2000 brand new with i9 13900HX rtx 4080 1TB 16RAM. The same exact spec for scar cost more than $3000. Sure the mini led looks nice and all but it's not $1000 worth nice. Plus, the blooming effect is a deal breaker for me. Never liked mini leds for that reason. If it was Oled then I wouldn't have minded spending that much money. Especially since burn ins aren't that much of an issue anymore. But for a mini led. Yeah no thank you, gonna stick with a more color accurate ips panel even if the picture doesn't look as bright or crisp.

[@samhawkes6597]

Why did razer have to go and shoot themselves in the foot and not offer a mini led 1440p option. As a gamer I would never go for a 4k screen on a laptop, what a stupid option, even with the laptop 4090. It's the Asus Rog scar 16 for me

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

You're not wrong. For gaming, qhd is still the sweet spot. But 4k does look very sharp and DLSS looks better in 4k than qhd. Overall I agree with you though.

maybe Legion screen worser than those two but it still a good one. And if i look at thermals, perfomace, price, i`ll chose legion. Also like its classic design.

[@allstargaming2500]

Of course comparing an RTX 4090 versus 4080 isn't a good review. Honest he could've done way better by not reviewing these little features like the RGB lighting since you can always turn it off and also, hinge design. I think you're so obsessed with the metal lid but I prefer the scar since it looks premium and is very comfortable for very long gaming sessions. The ports aren't gonna matter for most gamers anyway since a hdmi 2.1 port and a thunderbolt support is enough and I think 2 USB A and C is just enough and maybe a SD card reader if you're a content creator. Also the display I think is better on the Scar since it has single zone led lighting which reduces the blooming. Also the speakers aren't gonna be a thing when you're gonna be gaming with full fans, you're gonna be wearing headphones anyway. Build quality doesn't entirely decide which one is better and awarding points in that category is not very good. Some people might hate the metal and some may not. So it's entirely up to the user. I think you're leaning more towards Razer, that's fine but why compare the useless features like gigantic trackpad when the keyboard is squished and you still say it's a comfortable experience which isn't (a squished in keyboard often makes you do typos). So what's the point of the trackpad then if you have a trash keyboard. The charts are absolute garbage. The 2 fps difference seems a lot which in reality isn't. Anyway I think Scar is the best here since Lenovo as a gaming laptop lost some of the great features it had previously

[@fmulleady]

Try to be a little nicer, he's only starting out. The Lenovo only lost minor features, the performance is fantastic. Also, hard to best its keyboard. I love Asus too though.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I pretty much disagree with almost everything you said. Respectfully of course. I work and play on my laptop, so all the other components like the speakers, ports, trackpad etc add up to me enjoying using the laptop to generate income and to game when I’m not working. Also don’t get too hung up on the points. It’s not like I tallied them up and crowned a winner based on that. If I did, the scar would have lost.

[@consumertechwarehouse9381]

I’m wondering how long the “only starting out” excuse will still work lol. But yeah, despite the Asus losing so much rounds, it’s still overall the best. If razer was cheaper and didn’t thermal throttle as much it would have won for sure

[@rkymtnchi503]

I'd take a Blade or a Legion over a Scar in a heartbeat. It's called personal preference. Plus I'd get laughed out of a boardroom if I brought a Scar in there...too gamer-looking for business

you are bit rough, but you raise some interting points. For someone like me, it feels really annoying when you just want to watch a video or listen to a quick song and your 3500/4500€ laptop sounds like s*** !!! being forced to put an headset at this price is a bit too much for me ;). I edit a lot of pictures on the go, so for me (just for me) a huge trackpad is a real thing. But I agree with you, a s*****y keyboard is not acceptable. single zone dimming... that s the info I'm still looking for. What is your contrast/color gamut after that. is still good for critical color accuracy ? I don t have the answer yet but I think it is not as simple as : "I turn local dimming off > I have a photoeditor screen I like metal more than plastic but it i just a question of taste. Razer is 1000€ more than sthe equivalent strix configuration. 1000€ is a lot. Lastly, when 2 or 5 frames are the differnce, there should ba a tie, not a L or a W I was really happy to find this review online
