This is like the 5th time I went to google to search laptops/laptop comparisons, and you upload the exact video I was hoping to find. One of the best out here tbh.
0:53 thank you for this, it drives me mad that almost no reviewer mention the weight of the laptop AND the power brick, even more considering you usually carry both of them around.
@@jennyluu4064 Yep its a monster for creative suites, no problems there. Battery life for daily use, I get about 4/5 hours of youtube / web browsing / music playback. 6 or 7 hours of idle / light web browsing. But Editing on battery only will be about 1 - 3 hours battery life. Depending how heavy your project is. Gaming about 2 / 3 hours depending on title. (Watchdogs Legion I get 1hour and half battery life) I keep it plugged in for all things other than light web browsing / daily use. Plus this laptop is really quiet, I was expecting a lot louder! Silent on idle / light web browsing / daily use. Gaming it ramps up but is relatively quiet compared to some gaming laptops ive experienced (Helios, Pavillion, Dell) Since I have smoothed out the 2 issues with the integrated GPU and Audio software clipping. It has been 100% since.
Hey do you have the 120hz screen and if you do , are the nits enough becuase most reviewrs are saying they are not but my olds laptops screen is like 222 nits and on full brightness its really bright. Also is the display generally good?
I was actually looking at both laptops. I decided to go with the legion 5 after watching your video. As someone who knows nothing about pc gaming and wanting to get into it, watching your videos is awesome I’m learning so much already!
IMO the omen looks so good aesthetically, but the legion is way cheaper and better in most areas... So it's the classic "my heart says omen but my mind says legion" 😂. Great video as always Jarrod ! You deserve millions of subs !
@@DrMrPersonGuy I can confirm that it has qc issues. I’ve had the Intel rtx 2060 omen for a month and a half and am already having to send it in for repair for the keyboard ghosting. It’s a great laptop other than this issue though
This has to be one of the most requested comparisons this year, nice to see it done so well. I think the results show that you get a great laptop with either model, and it’s just down to personal preference. Looking forward to your next content.
Hello, how long did you have this laptop? Do you have any problems with the screen or anything at all honestly? I'm hoping to buy one. I hope you can update us again after a month or so. Anyone with the Legion 5 can reply. I've been reading the same reoccurring problem about the screen turning off unexpectedly while the laptop is still on/working on the other hand. $999 or more is still a serious money to pay for a laptop that will die on you early.
@@162benjamin I have had my laptop Legion 5 for almost 2 months now and have never encountered a problem with it and I honestly love it. Games run very smoothly on it. I do think it's better to buy it from Lenovo itself if you want to customize it.

@@ListonFermi I'm taking animation and entertainment design! So I use the typical photoshop, illustrator, Indesign, after effects, maya, etc. Sometimes when a lot of programs are open at the same time, the fan might get a bit crazy, but everything runs really smoothly! :)

Thanks Jarrod! I watched this video so many times and I can finally say that I'm watching this video on my Lenovo Legion 5.
I love my omen. I bought it for business and light gaming( Stellaris, Civilization VI, Prison Architect ) and use it mostly for xactimate. Couldn’t be happier. I haven’t had a lot of thermal issues. I prop it up so it’s not laying down flat so the fans can get some fresh air. Over a counter top it runs fast and cool. No issues.

Jarrod, have you ever thought about giving each laptop you review a "Jarrod Score" or something, similar to what DougDeMuro does on his car review channel? I think it could be interesting to see a (it might become a bit subjective, but that's practically inevitable) list of laptops ranked by your personal scoring system.
Thanks for the comparisons Jarrod... I picked up the Omen 15 for $999 (same variant but with 8gigs of RAM) at Sale on Best Buy based on your recommendation on the Omen 15 review.. and I'm loving it... the Legion 5 review came later and made me a little jealous but I'd prefer a larger battery, RGB Keyboard, and lighter machine overall.. love your work🙂
I see lots of people saying that legion crushed Omen. But honestly, the differences are very small and both laptops are of the best in this price range. So I'd say they're almost just as good, and both are good choices of laptops.
btw great video.. was waiting for a long time for a review between these two devices with the exact same specs.. And now finally i've got one from a genuine and reliable source
You Sir, are KING of the reviewers!! Excellent comparisons!!! Thank you.....liked & subbed....plz keep up the excellent work and NEVER compromise on your integrity.
Ordered the Omen 15 with 2060 last week for $1371 (converted from Swedish currency) with a discount I had through work on the HP website. The same specced Legion (though with 1TB SSD instead of 512GB) is on sale right now for $1595 (full price is $1772). I'm still happy with my choice since the Legion is so much more expensive in Sweden. Thanks for the comparison!
I clicked on this video hoping the omen won't be better, because I bought Legion 5 a week ago. I wasn't expecting the legion to obliterate omen. Thanks for this comparison. I am even happier I got the legion 5. Also I have the RGB version so the performance is at least 30% better from the one in the video.
@@animationmaniacjr i would have prefer the legion 5 but unfortunatelly its not available in my area so i picked the omen 15 tbh the only thing i liked about the legion better was the option to disable optimus for those higher frames
I have to say having both the omen and a Lenovo, I find there is much less chassis flex in the omen than the Lenovo, which resulted in the keyboard not working on the Lenovo. So I would say on paper Lenovo is better but for everyday use I would say omen because of the titanium chassis. And both have had their fair share of hits .
The exact comparison vid I've been waiting for. They both play well and the designs don't look out of place in an office. Hoping to see more of these kind of designs in the future
So in most cases the Legion 5 is slightly better than the Omen 15, whilst also being more flexible in customizations. But the Omen is still an exceptional laptop and getting either of the two is a great choice
I picked up the omen 15 when it was on sale for $850. Like you said .. if you see a deal don't sleep on it. Glad I got it. It seems like laptops in Hawaii are scarce.
Waiting for this :) Though sad cuz amd version hard to find where i live :(, but i think i might be able to settle for intel since the legion seems so good :)
Gotta give myself a pat on the back I chose the legion as the better machine comparing reviews constantly and here you are proving it with a physical machine on deck 😌 lol besides the SD slot, battery and weight on the Omen the Legion is the one 👌. Question though would you buy the Intel Rtx2060 version over this? I have considered it because of ray tracing gaining support in photoshop etc. If possible u can also compare the 5 and the 5i. Awesome work Jarrod! 🙌
@Rays Through Trees, Summer Breeze I wanted to wait also but I couldn't due to the urgent need for a laptop. Btw I got the 5i rtx2060 and idk what u heard but my ears are still getting use to how silent like zero to .1 % of any noise when any at all and as far as heating goes it barely barely I mean barely gets heated and that was after a few hours editing etc. And as far as the rtx2060 entry card rhetoric ..itd still ahead of the the 1660ti and it will be supported by dlss where the gtx card won't be and the "ray tracing" for what its worth does show in some of the software so far. But either way it all depends on your needs but I'll tell you its a good buy 👍
I have a legion 5i with rtx 2060, been waiting so long to see which one comes out on the top (after my purchase lol) and I can say now I'm happy with the results
Hello, how long did you have this laptop? Do you have any problems with the screen or anything at all honestly? I'm hoping to buy one. Anyone with the Legion 5/5i can reply.
@@162benjamin if you are from usa or Canada get it from amazon and if you're from out buy it from the official site and import as the amazon warranty is not international my freind uses it and he has no problems
@@162benjamin I've had it for about 2 months now, everything is perfect so far, my screen is 144hz and no big issue really, except some screen bleeding which is normal I guess
This is one of my favorite reviews, i had a legion with a ryzen 7 and a 1650 ti but I feel like the performance was still impressive for its gpu. I also have an omen with the ryzen 7 and 1660ti. I like using the omen too but the fans turning on max speed out of nowhere hurt my soul severely, especially when i'm listening to music or photo editing. i'm probably going to switch to the legion again but with a stronger gpu, the 1660ti version is a pretty sick nasty deal on amazon i feel versus what i got the omen for so pretty cheesed about that. I also grew up using lenovo laptops so I'm pretty biased to legion given that it has the curved key design also contemplating on getting the asus tuf a15 with the ryzen 9 and 2060, undervaluing it cause it's priced so cheap cause cheap cooling but also built TUF so I guess that means it'll last longer? I also wanna wait til a stronger 15 inch legion 5 comes out and wait for it to go on sale, feel like i should have gotten the 17 inch version cause it was on sale but its out of stock now so i'm basically dying inside every day
Hello, how long did you have the Legion 5? Anyone with Legion 5 can reply. Do you have any problems with the screen or anything at all honestly? I'm hoping to buy one. I hope you can update us again after a month or so. I've been reading the same reoccurring problem about the screen turning off unexpectedly while the laptop is still on/working on the other hand. The other one is the hinge problem of another Legion model. They're not the same Laptop of course, but their hinge factor is still the same. $999 or more is still a serious money to pay for a laptop that will die on you early.
@@162benjamin I sent it back after a couple weeks cause I felt like I needed a strong enough gpu that i wouldn't have to upgrade for upcoming games and software over the next few years. the screen was fine on mine. If it does come with a defect like the screen just send it back and get a replacement or they call some tech guy to your house to see if he can fix it (probably, never called the tech guy but I guess that's what they'll do) For context of what I used the legion 5 for, I played games like mhw with 60-80 fps on highest settings while streaming. I found that the fans wouldn't speed up for optimal cooling sometimes which worried me especially when it's on performance mode which has an automatic overclock. I don't truly understand what the numbers or overclocking means but I tested it on msi afterburner, the max clock speed It could stay at was 1800-2025 while playing mhw and battlefield 5 Whatever that means it sounds OP for a 1650ti. Anyway to fix the fan problem just restart the laptop and it'll fix itself, feels a bit tedious but I believe its needed to save the pc parts from dying early. I also remember seeing somewhere that the legion 5 had a better reinforced hinge design than the legion 7 Besides how they are built I'm pretty sure all pc/laptops will have their own reoccurring problems until an update fixes them.
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with 4800H and RTX 2060 6gb. Boy, I am loving it. Got it for 999£ from Curry's PC world (UK). only down side was a 8gb RAM and 256 storage and no webcam. but with all options for upgrade this one was pure value for money.

Honestly it's a lot of time I don't have at the moment for looking at minor differences, plus Bob already has you covered: ua-cam.com/video/g7im3Shi3dg/v-deo.html
@@JarrodsTech The Omen 15 ALSO has a MUX Switch! You can access it via the Omen Command Center and by enabling "Discrete" graphics mode. Please correct this video because when you consider that the Omen 15 and Legion 5 performance are pretty much identical.
I expected this battle between 2 laptops to be very tight but clearly the legion 5 shred apart the omen 15.... I feel bad coz i just bought the hp omen 15 as the legion 5 isn't launched in our country....
Other way around for me! The Omen 15 only just came out in the UK this week, while I managed to get my hands on the Legion 5 about a month ago. Please don't regret getting the Omen though, these machines are basically trading blows so we're both winners in my book!
I just returned my legion 5 to get an omen 15. The performance difference is negligible really, and the Omen 15 looks much better, it's more portable, and the keyboard layout is the best I've seen on a laptop (I wish the lenovo didn't have that awkward numpad on the side, with such a small enter and shift button, and weird home - page up/down positioning - it was really confusing while typing, even though I must admit the tactility was fine). Also the trackpad on the Legion is too stiff at a large portion of the top area (unclickable really). In the end, I believe both machines should be considered great buys, so, you shouldn't feel any regrets, enjoy your HP!
@@atriantafy yeah keyboard layout is better in omen. Did you find any display issues with Legion? I saw many comments regarding display and battery issues with that ryzen model.
What other comparisons do you want to see?
rtx 2070 super vs rtx 2080 super mobile no max q
If possible 4600h vs 4800h with same graphics card for omen or legion5.

Thanks, Jarrod. I bought Lenovo Legion 5 (R5 4600H + RTX 2060) after your previous review. Your reviews are excellent.
Can you share the link?
You mean the 17 inch ryzen 7 4800h rtx 2060 variant right?

Thanks!
@kroos giro waiting for it to come back in stock
Jarrod is the laptop God Reviewer and its not even close. Thank you for this, sir! More power to you and your channel.
btw great video.. was waiting for a long time for a review between these two devices with the exact same specs.. And now finally i've got one from a genuine and reliable source
If Zephyrus G15 fixes their cooling issues I would definitely pick Legion 5.
lol
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
You Sir, are KING of the reviewers!! Excellent comparisons!!! Thank you.....liked & subbed....plz keep up the excellent work and NEVER compromise on your integrity.
To be fair these results are close yet with a clear “winner”, as expected.
Best comparison seen between those two
Really good job👌👍
Sincerely thankyou for always mentioning the laptop's dimensions..helps to know if it will fit or not in a backpack!
Ordered the Omen 15 with 2060 last week for $1371 (converted from Swedish currency) with a discount I had through work on the HP website. The same specced Legion (though with 1TB SSD instead of 512GB) is on sale right now for $1595 (full price is $1772). I'm still happy with my choice since the Legion is so much more expensive in Sweden. Thanks for the comparison!
Hey Jared, get out of my head dude, every single review or comparison that I'd like to see I find in your channel...
Thankyou 🔥You went through every test. Where where you all these years??? My searching finally came to an end👍
I clicked on this video hoping the omen won't be better, because I bought Legion 5 a week ago. I wasn't expecting the legion to obliterate omen. Thanks for this comparison. I am even happier I got the legion 5. Also I have the RGB version so the performance is at least 30% better from the one in the video.
Hello, do you have any problems with the screen so far? Or anything honestly? I hope you can update us after a month or so.
@@162benjamin No problems so far. The screen has vibrant colors and the brightness is great.

Hey, just want to thank you for your great and objectively review.
Very great work!!
I have the omen 15 and i love it
does the issue where idle fan speed is always on appear on your unit as well? I'm quite concerned about picking one up. I might get a lemon.
I have the Legion 5 and I love it! Glad to hear you have the Omen 15 and love it!
Good to hear!
@@KoIzumi24 mine is functioning properly and i have no issues
@@animationmaniacjr i would have prefer the legion 5 but unfortunatelly its not available in my area so i picked the omen 15 tbh the only thing i liked about the legion better was the option to disable optimus for those higher frames
thank gosh I was thinking of getting the Legion!
I have to say having both the omen and a Lenovo, I find there is much less chassis flex in the omen than the Lenovo, which resulted in the keyboard not working on the Lenovo. So I would say on paper Lenovo is better but for everyday use I would say omen because of the titanium chassis. And both have had their fair share of hits .
The exact comparison vid I've been waiting for. They both play well and the designs don't look out of place in an office. Hoping to see more of these kind of designs in the future

Waitig for this for a long time. Thankssssss
So in most cases the Legion 5 is slightly better than the Omen 15, whilst also being more flexible in customizations. But the Omen is still an exceptional laptop and getting either of the two is a great choice
Been waiting for this video 1660 to with both R7 4800H, thank you Jarrod
I'm going to get the 17" Legion 5 with the 4800h RTX 2060 when it comes back in stock.

I picked up the omen 15 when it was on sale for $850. Like you said .. if you see a deal don't sleep on it. Glad I got it. It seems like laptops in Hawaii are scarce.
Waiting for this :)
Though sad cuz amd version hard to find where i live :(, but i think i might be able to settle for intel since the legion seems so good :)
Great comparison video! Thanks for doing these!
The crown goes to Legion this year! Good Job!
Everytime you post a video my decision on what to buy wavers.
Gotta give myself a pat on the back I chose the legion as the better machine comparing reviews constantly and here you are proving it with a physical machine on deck 😌 lol besides the SD slot, battery and weight on the Omen the Legion is the one 👌. Question though would you buy the Intel Rtx2060 version over this? I have considered it because of ray tracing gaining support in photoshop etc. If possible u can also compare the 5 and the 5i. Awesome work Jarrod! 🙌
@Rays Through Trees, Summer Breeze I wanted to wait also but I couldn't due to the urgent need for a laptop. Btw I got the 5i rtx2060 and idk what u heard but my ears are still getting use to how silent like zero to .1 % of any noise when any at all and as far as heating goes it barely barely I mean barely gets heated and that was after a few hours editing etc. And as far as the rtx2060 entry card rhetoric ..itd still ahead of the the 1660ti and it will be supported by dlss where the gtx card won't be and the "ray tracing" for what its worth does show in some of the software so far. But either way it all depends on your needs but I'll tell you its a good buy 👍
I have a legion 5i with rtx 2060, been waiting so long to see which one comes out on the top (after my purchase lol) and I can say now I'm happy with the results
Where did you get the rtx version and its price?? and is it a amd version??

GPU-ID screenshots are missing to make that video - PERFECT !!!! THANK YOU.
Great comparison, Legion 5 arrives next week sounds like it will be a winner!!! Very much appreciated Jarrod
Exactly what i needed , thank you
This is one of my favorite reviews, i had a legion with a ryzen 7 and a 1650 ti but I feel like the performance was still impressive for its gpu. I also have an omen with the ryzen 7 and 1660ti.
I like using the omen too but the fans turning on max speed out of nowhere hurt my soul severely, especially when i'm listening to music or photo editing. i'm probably going to switch to the legion again but with a stronger gpu, the 1660ti version is a pretty sick nasty deal on amazon i feel versus what i got the omen for so pretty cheesed about that.
I also grew up using lenovo laptops so I'm pretty biased to legion given that it has the curved key design
also contemplating on getting the asus tuf a15 with the ryzen 9 and 2060, undervaluing it cause it's priced so cheap cause cheap cooling but also built TUF so I guess that means it'll last longer?
I also wanna wait til a stronger 15 inch legion 5 comes out and wait for it to go on sale, feel like i should have gotten the 17 inch version cause it was on sale but its out of stock now so i'm basically dying inside every day
also thanks for the dedicated review. I was waiting for the video to drop every day like how I go to the lenovo website every day
Hello, how long did you have the Legion 5? Anyone with Legion 5 can reply. Do you have any problems with the screen or anything at all honestly? I'm hoping to buy one. I hope you can update us again after a month or so. I've been reading the same reoccurring problem about the screen turning off unexpectedly while the laptop is still on/working on the other hand. The other one is the hinge problem of another Legion model. They're not the same Laptop of course, but their hinge factor is still the same. $999 or more is still a serious money to pay for a laptop that will die on you early.
@@162benjamin I sent it back after a couple weeks cause I felt like I needed a strong enough gpu that i wouldn't have to upgrade for upcoming games and software over the next few years. the screen was fine on mine. If it does come with a defect like the screen just send it back and get a replacement or they call some tech guy to your house to see if he can fix it (probably, never called the tech guy but I guess that's what they'll do)
For context of what I used the legion 5 for, I played games like mhw with 60-80 fps on highest settings while streaming. I found that the fans wouldn't speed up for optimal cooling sometimes which worried me especially when it's on performance mode which has an automatic overclock. I don't truly understand what the numbers or overclocking means but I tested it on msi afterburner, the max clock speed It could stay at was 1800-2025 while playing mhw and battlefield 5
Whatever that means it sounds OP for a 1650ti. Anyway to fix the fan problem just restart the laptop and it'll fix itself, feels a bit tedious but I believe its needed to save the pc parts from dying early.
I also remember seeing somewhere that the legion 5 had a better reinforced hinge design than the legion 7
Besides how they are built I'm pretty sure all pc/laptops will have their own reoccurring problems until an update fixes them.
@@aaronryze Thank you so much for this information!
@@162benjamin ^.^
outstanding comparison, very enjoyable to watch
Oh, the Omen's corners are sharp? Count me in! I like scratching the center of the palm of my hand on them.
Nvm, I'm getting the Legion because of screen flex and brightness issues on the Omen. sorry HP fans!
Still a good choice, tell us how it goes when you buy it.
I have a Lenovo Legion 5 with 4800H and RTX 2060 6gb. Boy, I am loving it. Got it for 999£ from Curry's PC world (UK). only down side was a 8gb RAM and 256 storage and no webcam. but with all options for upgrade this one was pure value for money.

Can you cover repasting and/or paste Comparisons on a laptop?
Honestly it's a lot of time I don't have at the moment for looking at minor differences, plus Bob already has you covered: ua-cam.com/video/g7im3Shi3dg/v-deo.html
@@JarrodsTech multiple results from different reviewers is always better than just one.
Maybe you can consider doing it when you need more content?
@@JarrodsTech The Omen 15 ALSO has a MUX Switch! You can access it via the Omen Command Center and by enabling "Discrete" graphics mode. Please correct this video because when you consider that the Omen 15 and Legion 5 performance are pretty much identical.
Comparison we all needed ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
I think u can read our minds..❤️
I expected this battle between 2 laptops to be very tight but clearly the legion 5 shred apart the omen 15.... I feel bad coz i just bought the hp omen 15 as the legion 5 isn't launched in our country....
Other way around for me! The Omen 15 only just came out in the UK this week, while I managed to get my hands on the Legion 5 about a month ago. Please don't regret getting the Omen though, these machines are basically trading blows so we're both winners in my book!
@@animationmaniacjr do you have the same specs as in the video?
I just returned my legion 5 to get an omen 15. The performance difference is negligible really, and the Omen 15 looks much better, it's more portable, and the keyboard layout is the best I've seen on a laptop (I wish the lenovo didn't have that awkward numpad on the side, with such a small enter and shift button, and weird home - page up/down positioning - it was really confusing while typing, even though I must admit the tactility was fine). Also the trackpad on the Legion is too stiff at a large portion of the top area (unclickable really). In the end, I believe both machines should be considered great buys, so, you shouldn't feel any regrets, enjoy your HP!
@@atriantafy yeah keyboard layout is better in omen.
Did you find any display issues with Legion? I saw many comments regarding display and battery issues with that ryzen model.
@@sanaullahsidheeq2477 mine has an R7 4800H and RTX 2060 combo, with the larger battery instead of the SATA SSD, so it's specced slightly higher.
