    I was shopping both laptops, but after seeing the Nitro 5 and Y540 in person I went with the Lenovo. 144 hz screen and more understated look were the deciding factors for me (there were only 60 hz Nitro 5s available). I'm quite happy with my purchase, but will definitely be spending a little more to expand my storage-It's crazy how 1TB used to feel like a lot and now its pretty low LOL.

    Thank you very much for this video. I am exactly at the point of deciding which of the two laptops I would choose. Despite being a Lenovo fan (right now I own a Lenovo Ideapad Y700 I think I will switch to Acer Nitro 5. The lack of fan speed control is one point. The other is the two M2 slots. And here in Poland the Nitro 5 is cheaper. Thats enough for me to choose the Nitro 5. I really appreciated how professionally you compared the two products taking into account a lot of theoretical and practical data. Once again thank you very much.

    Here in my country Legion costs 10% more, and i prefer gaming performance, the Nitro touchpad, lower weight, the Nitro charger, and the wider laptop, because its easier to type on that, also the camera on the top is more relevant in my opinion, and the more adjustable brightness of the keyboard background lights.

      I have no idea why anyone would buy a gaming laptop if the only place they use it is at home, nor why would you expect a gaming laptop to impress you over a desktop. Either you're uninformed or delusional, which makes your comment that much worse. I work seasonally in another country and I go back and forth about 3-4 times a year when I'm free for a month at a time. Buying a gaming laptop for home usage is the equivalent of buying a mountain bike to go to your neighbors house. "I thought by watching this I might be convinced to live in a trailer instead of my house. But I don't think I'm impressed with these trailers."

      I bought for today on Black Friday in Canada Lenovo Legion Y540 15 81SY00D4US Gaming Laptop (www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/lenovo-legion-y540-15-81sy00d4us-gaming-laptop/8zcqmv4wgs8z?ranMID=36509&ranEAID=CAqD7bLWUPI&ranSiteID=CAqD7bLWUPI-sF1gnhb.4wWjRRXW_j4ICA&epi=CAqD7bLWUPI-sF1gnhb.4wWjRRXW_j4ICA&irgwc=1&OCID=AID2000142_aff_7814_1243925&tduid=(ir__je09hranaokfrz9bkk0sohzn0u2xg6ftjwgywh1u00)(7814)(1243925)(CAqD7bLWUPI-sF1gnhb.4wWjRRXW_j4ICA)()&irclickid=_je09hranaokfrz9bkk0sohzn0u2xg6ftjwgywh1u00&activetab=pivot:techspecstab) from the Microsoft Canada store. The Black Friday promo is $899 CAD (basically $700 off). I know it's only 15" but it has the i7 processor and GTX 1650 and a 512 GB SSD. I lucked out on such a deal...

    Great video dude but you should add undervolted and overclocked results for both laptops since almost everyone does that and not many people just use a stock laptop without any undervolting and well the y540 will perform better than the nitro 5 when overclocked and undervolted(since it performed better than the helios 300)

    • @randomesteven3935
      @randomesteven3935 4 роки тому +3

      'Almost everyone does that' is not a true statement..
      Many are afraid of what it will do. Many understands it but do not want to temper with their own hardware.
      Many just buys what manufacturers offer and stay away from tuning to 'ensure longevity of their machines'. And many more look to reviews like this to see what their hardware can do out of the box.
      If he adds those variations and the average consumers buys these and uses them out of the box, they will be disappointed, and go hunting on the web to do these tuning. And if all go awry, they will be panicking as to why it doesn't work for them.

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  4 роки тому +3

      Undervolting is definitely niche. I did include undervolted results in the thermals, assuming you're talking about game performance I'm always going to use best stock settings. I do cover a few different games with undervolt/overclocks applied in the full reviews though.

    As I'm getting the i7 9th gen/ 16gb/144hz/ 1660ti 6gb version.. it would be so much helpful! if u did over lock the Gpu lemme know the values you used as I can trust u all the time❤️❤️ thank you

    • @JarrodsTech
      @JarrodsTech  4 роки тому

      Thanks! I think I just do my usual -0.15v, however the exact amount doesn't really matter because I didn't attempt to tune it, plus it varies between individual chip, so you just have to try it yourself to find what works for you.

    I have the Y540 and it is much cheaper here in Croatia than the Nitro. Same price difference like in Australia. I got a 3 year warranty and I used it twice now to get a new charger... 2 charger replacements in a year. The charger just dies and I suspect it has something to do with the high performance power plan in Windows. But on the up hand I got them by mail in 2 days time from my repair service. First time they got a look and the second time it just took an email to get one. Other than that it is really a mean machine and it performed above my expectations in almost all games except Cyberpunk... But then again, it is Cyberpunk we're talking about. Lenovo Vantage is a fantastic piece of software and I'm honestly surprised you didn't delve deeper into it. Great review brother.

      Nitro 7 is basically the same as the 5, just with a metal lid and ever so slightly thinner, doubt it's enough to change the conclusion. That said I've been trying to get the 7 from Acer for months but they won't send it to me.
