WHY the Slim 5 is Much BETTER! Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Vs Slim 7i

[@omcotah9481]

an advice for the cam comparison -> Do the scenes besides each other and let one play, then the other one. So people can compare the image quality side by side while also having the audio comparison chronologically. :)

[@elvisvan]

exactly, the same goes for audio comparison, play the same track but periodically cut the clip to the other laptop to showcase audio quality difference immediately instead of having to play the track from the beginning, twice

[@LaptopDealsEU]

Don't say the Slim 7 isn't worth the extra cost. You get full aluminium, a better battery, better speakers. That alone makes the Slim 7 more premium and certainly worth the extra charge.

I had that (got it as a work laptop, but with i9 13900HX and RTX 4060, 1TB/32GB), and unfortunately I had to send it back to Lenovo due to abysmal battery life. I requested for it to be replaced with a Slim 7i. I hope your Pro 5 with AMD will have better battery life!

Can you imagine how difficult it is to watch the review when you bought Slim 7 (Y9000X) on 13900H with RTX4060 and 32GB of RAM. I console myself with the fact that 4070 should not be much better than 4060. But in the slim versions they are 115Watt. So I sometimes regret that I didn’t take the usual one, it’s not dramatic anymore, only the huge 330W power supply in the regular version is embarrassing.

[@KASEONACESSORIOS]

Comprei esse mesmo modelo branco jogando bem warzone em 1080p porem estranhei que no modo silencioso ele esquenta mais que o legião 5 normal que eu tinha porem por ele ser mais leve está valendo a pena e entregando bem em 1080p no máximo e ate que estou satisfeito por ter importado mais fica aquela sensação que poderia ser mais potente

[@-_--le3zk]

I played around with the options on Lenovo website and came to conclusion that the Slim 7 is a much better choice.

@@User98-456 Pro har ju 240 Hz display, men det är lite overkill när det gäller gaming laptops så vida man inte ska spela CS eller andra spel där datorn klarar av att generera frames som når upp 250+fps. Den slim jag köpte har en 165 Hz 2560x1600p, vilket egentligen också är lite för bra om man ska spela AAA spel. Pro har också lite fler USB portar än vad Slim 5 har. Tyvärr finns inget val dock att välja annat om man inte går in på Lenovos hemsida och bygger en där, men då blir det oftast dyrare. Nackdelen med Slim är att den har en någon mindre profil än Pro, så jag gissar att kylningen är något större på just Pro. Men jag har inga problem med ljudet eller värme i min slim, och då kör jag Starfiled, Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus och många andra AAA spel. Lenovo är bland dem bästa när det gäller just kylning och ljud nivå. Slim 5an är dock inte slim, den är precis lika stor/hög som vanliga Lenovo 5. Det är bara Slim 7 som kan klassas som en slim.

Another problem I had was getting the screw out of the second M.2 slot. I actually pulled the screw housing off the board trying to loosen the screw with plyers. No functional damage thankfully but it's a bit insane they had the damn thing in there so tight. The 2TB I put in that slot is working fine.

7i here is only 200-300 CAD more than 5i

[@kondaments]

Although not 'recommended' would the 7i work with a 48 GB stick, giving it a total of 64Gb? Would it be any 'worse' in performance than just the single 16Gb? There is very little information online about 'asyncronous' dual channel (where the 2 channels of RAM are different sizes). (great review btw, and if your code works downunder I will use it....)

[@ihtenubz9697]

Asynchronous ram doesn’t function properly in almost any machine. You won’t find information on it.

​@@ihtenubz9697absolutely wrong

I have legiom slim 5i and speakers are mediocre at best, my inspiron 15 5515 sounded much better and louder

Here Slim 5 4060 is expensive than Slim 7 4060

[@riccardo859]

tnx

Slim 7 has a glass trackpad which is super smooth

[@greateminemfan]

This is nice. Do you know what the TDP of the 4060 in the Slim 7 could be? I cant find any informations...

[@Ran7IX]

tdp doesnt matter this gen but the slim 7 4060 has 105w and thats the best tdp you can get because RTX 4050/60/70 gpus have tdp limit of 90-110w@@greateminemfan

[@letterr2087]

Max tdp slim 7i 4060 is 140w on nvidia control panel

[@Ran7IX]

@@letterr2087 i mean because there is a voltage limit, performance is the same as a 100w 4060

Hey Ben! Love your videos as always, they are very helpful! I’m looking into getting a laptop for animation school and I have narrow down to a few( legion 5, aero 17, dell xps 15 9510) but I do want to ask if you had any favs at all, my budget is $1700 I’d want a powerful cpu, gpu with atlease 6gbs of vram along with a color accurate screen Again, thank you for your vids! They really help me a lot ^^

[@jbjakers804]

:) 32 gb ram not enough on a laptop? u jokin

[@Uzukunoichi]

Soldered RAM or Storage = Ultra Cheap / Disposable Design. Automatic NO from me.

[@chickenagogo]

No no no. Slim 7i more more more brighter and vibrant screen, slim 5 too dark IMO which is not suitable for bright room. You should play slim 5 in the cave IMO.
