Spent my first payroll (actually double that) on Y540, paid it 820 EUR, with 2xSSD came out to 980 EUR total. Absolutely loving it, for the first time in life I don't have to worry about minimum requirements for gaming. 😊

[@Erintii]

I choose Lenovo, as I need it primarly to work and secondly to play.

[@TechFinds]

Good choice, it's a nice laptop overall ;)

[@Morenob1]

I bought the Lenovo Legion Y740 17'', it's one of the best purchases I've ever done. I owned a high end gaming pc from 2014 and having this laptop how compact and fast it is, I use it also as a desktop. It's also great for music production/ gaming, editing, multimedia and it's portable. I will now always stick with a Lenovo. I also love that the HDMI is all on the back, they really thought this laptop through.

[@BradT44]

Hello, do you have overheating problems when gaming and do the fans get noisy

[@Morenob1]

@@BradT44 Hi no I don't have overheating issues at all the fans are located on the back and sides of the laptop, fan noise can be bit noisy but you'll get used to it only when gaming, further it's pretty quite.

@@Morenob1 It's a problem if the fan is annoying. That's a negative point now

[@dumbestbiscuit]

Really good review. I saw a couple of others where they undervolted the Lenovo vs (something with identical cpu/gpu) to get the performance gap closed up, but never gave the other machine a shot with similar tweaks. Out of the box, seems like the Lenovo runs hot and throttles excessively. 99.9% of folks will never undervolt their cpu. You tweaked both and the Omen has almost a 25% performance improvement in Watchdogs 2 (@10:32 in video). Clearly, one of these machines is for performance and gaming and one is more for people who want to look like they might be carrying a corporate laptop. I have a corporate laptop, when I break out my gaming laptop I don't mind it looking like what it is.

[@TechFinds]

Thanks mate! It's hard to find a perfect laptop, so I think that tweaking is what everybody should consider.

It's possible that i5 model runns cooler as it has 2 cores less.

[@PegasStar]

I chose Legion before this video, and actually sticked with it throughout the video as well. In my country Omen doesn't come with this configuration for this price, at least I didn't find it, and Legion with this configuration is cheaper. For me Omen didn't seem that much better, even tho I really like the metal cover.

The prices may vary between countries a lot. Legion is not a bad laptop too.

​@@TechFinds Well compared to what I had before this is a major step up. I am really super-satisfied with it, I didn't even think of a possibility to run games on high details, so this is absolutely sufficient already :) But I think I was really lucky with the price for this particular piece. I'd only add, the cooling system is truly loud.

So I am planning to buy a laptop but I want to play sims 4 on the highest graphics with 100+ mods and with all the packs.

Im on hunt and can't decide what to buy as I don't want to spend a lot but would like to keep the laptop for 5 years for sure.

[@TechFinds]

Hey! The Sims 4 is an old game so there may be some problems with optimization and it may perform not as intended, especially with so many mods and addons. No matter how powerful is the laptop. But you can try, it should run anyway. Witcher 3 and other AAA titles no problem. Check out this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWjCmneZer2pm7M It actually gives you the best price to performance ratio out there.

[@TechFinds]

@@deathkid68 The laptops are more expensive in the rest of the world. USA has good prices, but if you wanna buy from USA you have to pay duty which with the price of the laptop will most likely give you the same price as in your country.

Pretty much all of these gaming laptops make a lot of fan noise. I think you just have to accept that it sounds like a jet engine sometimes. My legion Y540 get's loud as well, I had a Zephyrus S and a Scar III before I had my Y540 and they also made a lot of fan noise.

You need to consider buying warranty for either one as well. In usa legion has option of just extra 25 bucks for a year aside from standard warranty that covers accidental drop spill warranty. Hp warranty is expensive and standard doesn't cover accidents. I returned two hp omen 15 from microcenter. One had bad and loud coil whine. The second omen had logo freeze, factory rest freez, black light bleed, power button didn't lit up and hard drive made loud crackling sound. Will never buy omen again from microcenter but microcenter's customer surviceis pretty good so i will buy from them but not hp laptops.

Nice reviews! i'm now choosing between legion y540 and hp pavilion gaming 15 with the same price except the y540 has i5 while the hp pavilion has i7 with the same gpu. which one would you recommend?

[@TechFinds]

Note that Pavilion has GTX 1660Ti Max-Q while Y540 comes with full size GTX 1660Ti. I am not able to predict which one would give you better performance in this case since Legion that you found has i5. Also the i7 in Pavilion has power limit set to 30W instead of 45W. I think that I would go for Legion.

[@egun.]

@@TechFinds both laptops have 1650 sorry i didn't state this earlier. What about the build quality? I've read that hp has worse build quality than lenovo is it true?

I got the Lenovo Y740 15" with RTX 2060 last month. I didn't know much about Omen HP laptops back then but I couldn't pass up the offer of just $1350 on the Y740 during the winter discounts. Out of the box, the Y740 did have very high temperatures, spiking even up to 100 C. I could undervolt CPU but only up til -0.120 V which slightly lowered the temps down to 80-90. I might buy a cooling pad but people say it is ineffective for Y740 and temperatures could go way better with reapplying thermal paste. Very quiet fans when light use, but as expected it gets noisy when performance mode enabled. Battery life is nothing when gaming, even on light use you couldn't get more than 2 hours with out of the box settings. Only with undervolted CPU, 50% brightness, no rgb, battery saver mode enabled: you can get around 5 hours light use which isn't entirely bad. I can't seem to find G-sync settings in NVIDIA and am trying to reinstall drivers, but games look and run smooth anyways.

[@TechFinds]

Good review. :) Lenovo should have added an option to manually set the fan speed to maximum. It helps the temperatures a lot in every laptop.

Hello, I want to know your opinion, I want to buy a laptop, I am between the Acer predator Helios 300 2019 "gtx1660ti" or the Hp Omen 15 2019 "gtx1660ti", what has me still undecided is the temperatures first, I would like to know if the hp are As bad as they say or without a doubt they have almost the same cooling as the Acer, and another aspect is the battery. I need the laptop to take to the university for about 5 or 6 hours of surfing the Internet and one or another basic process. You who think, thank you.

[@TechFinds]

The cooling is not the matter of brand, because it may vary even in 2 laptops of the same model due to many random conditions. Helios 300 seems to have better cooling tho and it has better battery life. if you disable background apps and lower the screen brightness it can last 6h

It comes down to my personal preference. I like to have control over the fan speed so I can set it to max while gaming. Legion doesn't have that option. Omen is also all metal while Legion is made of plastic. And with Omen you have more flexibility to tweak thermal performance.

I am more concerned on keeping temps down even if it will take longer to render stuffs ...do you think omen is a good choice ? . I was also considering the omen x 2s as well. Thank you

If you wanna keep the temperatures low while rendering you better go for 2019 Acer Predator Helios 300 or MSI GE65 Raider. Check the videos here: Raider: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6Goi2BjZ9WUkLc Predator: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raSxgY2tZ9emfLM For kind of work you wanna do on laptop it would be good to have some i9 8-core processor and i had 2 people saying that HP Omen 17 runs at respectively low temperatures. There is also MSI GE65 or 75 Raider with i9 that should have good temps as well. However if you wanna keep the price lower check out lower configurations (especially 2019 Acer Helios 300)
