Nice review man, keep going.
however, yes the legion gets hot but to be fair it is a gamming laptop which do get really hot and the point you made for the uncomfortable temperature on your knees, is not fair as its not made to be used like that because of 2 fans continuously sucking in air thought the vents, its a gamming laptop! it should not be used on knees unless you want dust to inter your laptop.
Thank you, mate! Wise point. 👍
Would lower power profiles reduce temps enough to be okay?
@@Rik-ds5dk Yes, with a low profile, it becomes not hot but very warm.
For someone like me crunching data and making data processing every hour, I'm in the market for a gaming laptop to be able to handle these tasks, hence I'm expected to use this on my knees literally, so really happy to have seen this video before buying.
@@YasserImam1 Glad to help, mate!
Fair review! I have the previous "Slim" i9 model with a 4070 and I love it for most things but gaming is why I got it. I also have the 16" M1 Pro, which is simply another level when it comes to content creation/consumption and regular use cases. I wouldn't need another computer if I didn't like to game on the side; curiosity, too: I like to know what's happening in Windows land. But you're right: the M-series Macs are definitely superior (effeciency, speakers, display, and battery life). I wish gaming developers designed games for it; but we know why that's not happening quickly enough.
Hey Jim. Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it. You brought up smart points, and we are on the same page here 👍 I love the MacBook as a daily laptop. But sometimes I think about building myself a PC instead of a gaming laptop. But I don’t have the time and urge to game sitting behind the desk. Looks like I am getting older, since I prefer to chill with the ps5 occasionally. 😅
thank you... Im a 3D ANimator and struggling a lot lately to make a right pick.. I owned a Rog Strix 17 with 5900 amd processor and it was a pain. Now using a Slimbook Executive 16 but is not powerful enough if i get a more complicated 3d scene to work in. So now in the process of buying a new one but still not sure. I thoguht this one would be awesome but of course.. heat... do you feel you got too much throthling with this one?
You won’t be disappointed, no trotting here… at least for my tasks.
i loved the review, thanks for this
Also, can i ask which moniter you use \ ( the one used in this video) 💕
thank you,😊 my current monitor from the video is LG Oled 32
I like this review because it is direct, to the point, simple.
I bought a 7i in black with 4070 and 14900HX, 16GB RAM. I upgraded to 48GB Crucial 5600MHz.
This laptop is now my desktop replacement. If I am away from the desktop or if the desktop goes down, the laptop can do everything the desktop can, with minimal impact to performance.
It was not without issues though. I had to RMA my first Legion 7i because the BIOS crashed, got stuck in a recovery loop, then the system would not POST or go to BIOS. It was dead after 4 hours of use.
This new one ALMOST ran into BIOS and other issues, but I managed to get it up and running. I still do not trust it yet.
This Legion 7i is replacing my 2015 Alienware 17 R3. That rig is still running and in use to this day, 9 years later. All I did is replace the battery 2 - 3 years ago.
Awesome feedback, thank you 👍🙂
What if we get the same laptop in 4060?
Will it support all the games?
@@piyushgajbhiye5528 it depends on resolution, I guess
@@kontesov oh okay
Also there are options of two screens ?
Which one I should buy?
Like which one will be having more good resolution and cor grading?
@@piyushgajbhiye5528 4070 & 4080 cards should be enough for two screens, if that's what you mean. If you are talking about monitor, I would recommend LG32 Oled.
just subscribed! I really enjoyed your fair comparison and organized video! you accent is very nice 🙂🙂
Thanks so much! 😊 appreciate it 👍
That’s funny, I was thinking the same thing about the accent 😆
bro is complaining about the logo on the power button 🤣🤣🤣 the most biased review i've seen on this laptop
Thanks for your personal judgment. For those who are picky about build quality, I pointed out the uneven cutouts around the power button, not the logo itself.
Typical Mac fanboy, when they can't find anything wrong, they make a big deal out of nothing to justify their deeply held (yet wrong) belief that Mac is better.
@@ryanb509 Your personal opinion is valuable, thanks. I am not a Macbook fanboy, I have had many Windows machines in my life 😉 And I do like Legion laptop, but the MacBook has better build quality, battery, display and is much better for productivity. If you are a gamer, then the choice is clear (legion).
It’s a real thing, the one on mine is misaligned as well, and I noticed straight away
@@kontesovthis is actually legitimate for people who are bothered by these things. Build quality represents the pride a company has in there product imo. I own this and it is a damn well built machine, nothing is 100% flawless but somethings get pretty damn close. Keep that discerning eye and manufacturers will start to pay more attention to it
So What you have decided Do be honest? I am in the same bot, Do you think Lenevo or The Mac?
I have decided to keep the Mac for now, but if the Legion has a better 3k display and battery, then it really is a tough decision. On another note, I do not know why the fonts are so ugly on Windows. That's my concern too.
@@kontesov I am in the same boat. I have my old laptop with 9th Gen i7 processor. I have never used a mac. I will use my laptop for hardcore photo editing and I shortlisted the 3.2k model with 99.9 whr battery. Have you tried any heavy work on both mac and legion 7? If yes, how was the performance in both? Was mac (m3 pro) better than legion 7 (14900hx) ?
@@saurav050206 I don’t have m3 pro, but M1 Max, they are close. I would say that both machines will certainly not disappoint you when working with photo and video editing. And this is where your other needs come into play, whether you want to game sometimes or want more battery life or a better display overall.
@@kontesov how much was the battery life in legion 7?
@@saurav050206 4h in my case
Nice review, would be good to see you do an ASUS Zephyrus G16 (4080 GPU) comparison to the Macbook and Legion, not sure if you can get it, but would be massive if you do
Hey! Thanks for your feedback recommendation. 👍 Zephyrus is a beast and has superior oled display, but I like to have a few ports on the back and prefer the Legion form factor overall in this category of laptops. If I have an opportunity, I will definitely make a video.
G16 is even bigger of a shit laptop what a waste of money cost like a 16inch m3max but half the performance with all the fan noise kek
@@PKperformanceEU in EU its a complete rip off, so much so that I considered importing one from the US, but 4080 gives that extra future proof cushion, I have similar views to what you said based on others reviews, but I’ve yet to see it be compared side by side, so I’ll hold that strong judgement from it, no doubt both units with 4070rtx the Legion wins, but comparing it with the 4080, it would definitely be an interesting battle as far as hardwares performance is concerned
@@JT11111 oh no STOP WITH THIS FUTURE PROOFING BULLSHIT!!! Get what you need and upgrade every 2 years. If you want solid windows laptop get the 2024 Yoga pro 9i core 185h 4060m with 3.2k mini LED. You can go 4070m but i see no reason. Upgrade every 2 years and you good.Otherwise you dont need performance in the first place
@@PKperformanceEU no one upgrade every 2 years, thats the point, to buy a FUTURE PROOF Laptop, get your head out of your back side, until you have tried both Asus Zephyrus G16 and Legion 7i gen 9 you have no business getting your brickbrain involved in an A-B discussion, crying over me asking him about laptop reviews😂 how old are you? Get a serious grip
wha about the battery comparison???
Mac wins hands down here and gives you around 8-10h. Legion has literally draining the battery out while you are looking at it (3-4h in my case, it is ridiculous). To reduce the battery drain you have to scale your display down to 60hz and set minimum brightness.
It's a gaming laptop, you shouldn't expect it to have a good battery life
@@Int-Q true but always hope for the best.
@@kontesov it's not really possible to have a good performance in games, as well as good battery life for other tasks rn. It might change if the arm support on windows gets better and if snapdragon X elite CPUs start supporting dgpus
@@Int-Q that would be a breath of fresh air for all gaming laptops
Классный ноут, но цена космическая ( Придется на своем P1 gen2 сидеть еще пару лет.
Согласен. Ноут классный, но ценник кусается.
Атомное сердце?! Ностальгируем, братан
