Since the Ryzen 4000 announcement I did hundreds of hours of research. I know every single laptop on this list and watched and read many reviews and experiences from different reviewers. In fact I watched every single video on your channels about them and I can say you did an amazing job. This video is a summary from someone who has actually a lot of experience and takes into consideration even the smallest aspects after testing everything in person. Congratulations, Jarrod. You did a fantastic job and deserve way more subscribers and viewers than you currently have. Keep up the great work.

No other laptop reviewer comes close.

Typing this from my Legion 5, which I decided to purchase thanks to your excellent review. Really happy with performance. Thanks for all the hard work!

Honestly You're the best tech ( particularly Laptop ) reviewer on youtube . I trust your opinion and I know the trust isn't misplaced . I've watched so many videos about these laptops and there are many things that I find out for the first time after I watch your videos . other than the fact that you collect even the smallest information when making videos ; It's the way that you present the information that tie the whole thing together . If I hadn't have seen your reviews and the performance comparison graphs you use ; I'd have never known that the legion 5 1660-ti is more capable than the g14 2060 and would have gone with g14 and probably been disappointed . So the bottom line is thank you ; I love the videos ♥
@@JarrodsTech Hey . do you have any information about legion 5 with ryzen 5 4600h and 2060 ? It's a very rare configuration as far as I've seen and I can't find any reviews of it but it has the best value in my region and my budget . I believe it's an india only config and was imported to my country ( Iran ). Because there were no detailed reviews from trusted reviewers I dont even know how good is the bettery life and I heard from seller's website that it has a 140hz display . I mean is that even possible ? I also can't find any information about color accuracy or the response time of the panel . I'd appreciate any tips or information you have .
this is what i needed. i just wanted to know the best laptop i can get in my price range, so i can make a purchase decision. watching countless videos on individual laptop reviews didn't really give an idea of which was the best performing out of all laptops, and benchmark websites are so confusing with all configurations of devices, so thanks for this vid *thumbs up*
This video, alongside with Dave2Ds video cemented my laptop choice for the Legion 5, as I've been eyeballing it for quite some time now. I'm gonna get that machine hopefully by the end of December and finally upgrade my work/gaming station :D
@@ralphsamson6094 Mostly yes, and without any issues. There is also a Ryzen 7 5800H model with an RTX 3060 where I live, but you could probably find that for a discounted price as well somewhere else.
Thanks to your reviews I settled with the IdeaPad Gaming 3, I bought it before black friday but that's because I already got it at a cheap price of 800€ (tech is more expensive here in Europe) where as other laptops with comparable specs were about 950€, Black friday deals brought them down to 800, so I haven't really made a loss. I bought it with my first ever salary I got from work. I am glad to see it being Number 7 on the list, above the Nitro and the A15. You said you don't think the premium is worth the upgrades you get over the Nitro 5, but here in Europe things are different. The Nitro 5 has 8GB of RAM while the Gaming 3 has 16, right of repair doesn't exist in Europe and RAM upgrades will void your warranty. Added to that, the Nitro 5 and the Gaming 3 both cost the same at 800€ here, so it's definetely a no-brainer which one of the two to get. I once again want to thank you for your reviews, you have been a great help in the past few weeks!
Ordered my lenovo legion today! I really wanted to build/buy my first desktop but the market is so inflated right now I couldnt find a decent deal on even a prebuilt. But I was very impressed by the lenovos specs for the price and watched lots of videos about it and couldnt find a single negative review. comes in this monday! super excited as this will be my most powerful gaming device ever (played on the xbox consoles most my life, didnt buy a series X though)
I've just bought my first gaming laptop Lenovo Legion 5 Ryzen 7 RTX last week before I found this video... ... I'm chuckles with smile on my face, I'm going to save this one... thanks for this awesome evaluation video JT👍🏿
I got a msi gl75 leopard (10th gen i7 with a rtx 2070) after watching your gp75 video. Your reviews are amazing and have detail about laptops that can't be found anywhere else (especially the vr compatibility for the video outputs, thanks for that) Amazing channel, don't stop doing what you do. 10/10
I just scored my G14 on sale for $1,200. Considering the size, build quality, and price, I can’t believe how fast it is. It may not be the fastest on here but it’s small size will come in handy for me as a college student.
Yep. Bought mine for college as well because of the portability and battery life. It can run Control at 60fps with RTX/DLSS on, id say that’s good enough performance for me.
i did manage to pick up the legion 5 for $850 when it went on sale for what felt like a couple of hours before selling out. Loving it so far; thx a bunch on your comprehensive review on it! cheers!
Something I've noticed in comparison between the omen and rp-15, the screen refresh rate on the omen is kind of high at an average of 8-10 ms where the RP-15 reportedly has one of 2-4 ms, which I wish I noticed before I settled on the omen.
I bought the Asus Tuf A15 with 4800H & 2060 and cut holes in the bottom and installed heatsinks on top of the CPU VRMs :) Works like a charm now and doesn't throttle as much as before. Although I wouldn't recommend doing this to everyone, because I am not sure if any other components overheat now.
Great video for which I was waiting for :D I was thinking about some ryzen laptops and you've just posted that video which helped me a lot Thanks Jarrod for support!
in my country at that time the lenovo ideapad gaming 3 was actually cheaper than the acer nitro 5, so i bought the ideapad gaming 3 and never regret the decision i've made🥰🥰🥰
A great summary of the ryzen gaming laptops of 2020! Agree with you about the bravo price, JB hi-fi seems to be the only aus stocker and want 2499 AUD which is an absolute joke!
I got the Acer Nitro 5 about 2 months ago along with some dj Equipment. Alone I paid $800 flat from best buy. I've been using it for music production, video editing, and gaming. From my experience I've played games on medium-high settings (though I prefer to play at medium for extra frames). When it comes down to video editing it does it's job and renders fast without all the usual heat up. It handles several of my DAW software (FL Studio, Ableton, etc) easily and allows for extra power when stacking more content. Truly I'm very satisfied with my buy and I'm sure if you're someone like me who likes a cool, affordable gaming pc I'd say take a shot at it.
@@whee6506 im receiving it today and my only concern its the weight and size, since im coming from an ultrabook, but you cant have an ultrabook with those specs unless you are millionaire
@@shrey522 I'm still gonna give a try to the lenovo, since it was on sale for 899€ in my country, and if its too bulky I may return it, but thanks for your help guys
@@RamonAlcaide it might be bulky but you get best cooling with very minimal fan noise. If you compare any gaming laptop in 2020 Legion has got minimal fan noise.
I originally had ordered the ASUS Tuf a15 earlier in 2020, however due to COVID delays I waited 4 months and it never came. I ended up canceling that order and got the Legion 5 17in. RTX 2060 instead! Couldn’t be happier!
I ended up buying the HP Omen 15 because it was available for same day pick up and I didn’t need to upgrade the storage for an additional $$$ since it already has a terabyte.
I bought it for $950. Thoroughly Enjoying it right now. You can just go through the Best buy site/app. Exact same specs and running cinebench and testing everything right now. It was between this or the Legion 5 with the i7 and rtx 2060 for $50 more. But I wanted an AMD Ryzen CPU. Every laptop before this was an intel chip.
@@s0nsoftheworld I got the HP Omen 15 originally with the recent sale ($827 open box excellent from BB). I’m throughly impressed with the overall presence and its performance. Unfortunately I was not able to adjust screen brightness, googled everything, seems it’s a hardware bug with the earlier batches (warranty shows it was an August machine). Got in on the Legion 5 4800H RTX 2060 deal yesterday and will see how it goes....and yes, I’m now a firm believer of the Ryzen cpu, it smoked last years XPS 15 with 9750h in nearly every productivity software that I use
Got the Legion 5 at the $850 price a couple weeks after pointing it out to a friend who bought it right before it went on sale. Very glad I waited. Thanks for the video.
I got the ASUS G14 as soon as it was available and I'm SO glad that I got it! I'm a university researcher so the portability is extremely useful, whilst being powerful enough for me to run 2D/3D CAD software, coding, gaming, doing 3D animations with Blender, etc.
I got a Zephyrus g15 with Ryzen 7 4800HS and 1660ti(max-q) with 16 gigs and 240hz 100% sRGB display. The display is phenomenal and I can't say I got any throttling, although the temps do tend to stay in the 80s.
Hi Jarrod. I have the HP Omen 15 (Ryzen 7 4800H + GTX 1660ti model) which I love. I've noticed in a couple of vids now that you've mentioned OC'ing the Omen with Ryzen Controller / Afterburner. Could you please either post your optimal settings or maybe even do a video? I'd love to optimise the Omen as you have done but don't have the knowledge and would massively appreciate some help! Thanks 👍🏻
Dell G5 SE has improved drastically, I must say. In my testing, the G5 SE showed much better temps and no crashes. Initial launch was absolutely terrible and that has ruined it's image. Using Ryzen controller and settings CPU temp limit to 92C drastically changes the way the machine behaves! Low temps and high performance!
@@JarrodsTech nice one, we can't wait for that.. so happy with our G5 SE.. a budget gaming laptop that can perform well in most triple A games at 60 fps or more 🔥🔥
I agree with this, since the AMD drivers have started to be updated, the new bios 1.3 (I've avoided 1.4.4 for now) the performance has improved dramatically. I've used Ryzen controller to thermally limit to 90C as Deeptesh has and its just amazing tbh.
As a G14 user I'm proud to have it! I'm a literature student and a casual gamer. I don't mind the lack of num pad and the lack of webcam since I always an ext one. Battery life is phenomenal, doesn't thermal throttle, looks stellar, is portable, performs decent enough to give 60-70 fps on aaa titles high-ultra settings, has a usb c charging. Can't go wrong for am all in one laptop♥️
Nice list, by the way, I'm loving my HP Envy x360 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 U Processor and integrated graphics, it does well on high settings on the games I play, so far no crashing.
you were instrumental to my eventual purchase of my legion 5 laptop and watching this video, i kinda thought the omen 15 would be top 1. having the legion 5 in the top 3 would have been fine by me but seeing as you have it as number 1 was a surprise. im really happy to have gone with a legion 5. its just a 4600h with a 1650ti and the crappy 120hz they all diss about, but im content with what i bought. it works well for what i use it for. and its so damn quiet and cool. congrats Jarrod! keep it up! 👌👌👌
Watching this on my Zephyrus G14. Definitely recommend this laptop to anyone who prefers a small laptop for the road that can turn into a gaming monster when plugged in at home. Thanks Jarrod for your reviews and videos. I finally have my own laptop and it is really really good.
I bought omen 15 because that was the best ryzen 4000 laptop at the time I was looking for a new laptop. And even if legion is the best one, I think I'll still choose omen for the design. Legion design is still looks too 'gaming', at least for me. So I didn't regret buying omen 15. Used this laptop for about more than 2 months now. Anyway thanks for the video! 😊🙏
I've been watching your videos since March and finally got my own PC last month after lots of hard work and encouragement from the comment section. I don't understand why I'm watching these videos rn 😂
In india the dell G5 SE is the best bang for the buck option at 75k inr (~1000 usd) for R5 4600H and 5600M with 120hz screen. The omen 15 is 86k inr (~1,162 usd) for the 4600H 1660ti and 60hz screen. Lenovo didn't even launch the legion 5 amd version....
Price wise, dell g5 se costs almost the same as lenovo legion 5 which is 928usd in america and 75k INR in India. So fingers crossed for the lenovo legion 5's price in India🤞🤞. I've arranged 85k for it. If I get it under 80k I will buy a 500gb nvme and if Not I'll manage with the the given 512gb storage😮😮
If we talk about Intel variants, the Omen 15 is probably better since it allows switching to discrete graphics. But for AMD, Legion 5 seems to be better. Keeping this in mind, I still went for an Omen 15-ek0022tx (i7-10750H, RTX 2070). Zero regrets.
@@hassanahmad568 Google shunt mod. It raises the power limit by lying to the system about how much power is being draw. So you can draw 80w and it thinks it's only drawing the 60w limit.
literally been searching for ryzen laptop comparisons and found none till this randomly played next, what a legend finally included all the known and unknown laptop brands.
i got one 2 days ago on sale at Best Buy ... supposedly 3000 series nvidia gpu with 5000 series AMD processor laptops are coming out early 2021 though.... so i may return the G14 in january to get the refund
Same. There were some really good deals for the Omen 15 on Flipkart, and pretty much all the high end variants sold out real fast. Luckily, I was able to get the last remaining ek0022tx (i7-10750H, RTX 2070) at a good price. Super awesome laptop!
Sadly very true and that's what is holding me back to pull the trigger on Legion. Its overall good plastic with cheap looking deck.. and that rubberized coating seems good for now but will wear off over time.

@@whee6506 im receiving it today and my only concern its the weight and size, since im coming from an ultrabook, but you cant have an ultrabook with those specs unless you are millionaire
@@RamonAlcaide in that case omen is your best bet
@@shrey522 I'm still gonna give a try to the lenovo, since it was on sale for 899€ in my country, and if its too bulky I may return it, but thanks for your help guys
@@RamonAlcaide it might be bulky but you get best cooling with very minimal fan noise. If you compare any gaming laptop in 2020 Legion has got minimal fan noise.
Just ordered the Legion 5😍 I'm so excited
I originally had ordered the ASUS Tuf a15 earlier in 2020, however due to COVID delays I waited 4 months and it never came. I ended up canceling that order and got the Legion 5 17in. RTX 2060 instead! Couldn’t be happier!
Let’s go, the Lenovo legion 5 i got it when it dropped and I’m so happy now
Came here for the roundup, loved the t-shirt.
Only wish you had Countless Skies as background music ;)
If you're in the US, Best Buy currently has the HP Omen 15 on sale with the 4800H, 1660Ti, 144Hz display, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD for $950!
Link?
I ended up buying the HP Omen 15 because it was available for same day pick up and I didn’t need to upgrade the storage for an additional $$$ since it already has a terabyte.
I bought it for $950. Thoroughly Enjoying it right now. You can just go through the Best buy site/app. Exact same specs and running cinebench and testing everything right now. It was between this or the Legion 5 with the i7 and rtx 2060 for $50 more. But I wanted an AMD Ryzen CPU. Every laptop before this was an intel chip.
@@s0nsoftheworld I got the HP Omen 15 originally with the recent sale ($827 open box excellent from BB). I’m throughly impressed with the overall presence and its performance. Unfortunately I was not able to adjust screen brightness, googled everything, seems it’s a hardware bug with the earlier batches (warranty shows it was an August machine). Got in on the Legion 5 4800H RTX 2060 deal yesterday and will see how it goes....and yes, I’m now a firm believer of the Ryzen cpu, it smoked last years XPS 15 with 9750h in nearly every productivity software that I use
@@mjkl614 Lucky! When I tried to checkout the Legion 5 RTX 2060/R7, it was sold out.
Got the Legion 5 at the $850 price a couple weeks after pointing it out to a friend who bought it right before it went on sale. Very glad I waited. Thanks for the video.
Lenovo Legion best option 2020. Said it when it launched Jarrod!
💜💜💜

Amazing job and directly focused on what people want to know! Perfect bro!
I got the ASUS G14 as soon as it was available and I'm SO glad that I got it! I'm a university researcher so the portability is extremely useful, whilst being powerful enough for me to run 2D/3D CAD software, coding, gaming, doing 3D animations with Blender, etc.
Legion 5 is way better and cheaper TBH...
@@DUNGSTA yup
@@DUNGSTA but g14 has got better build
So, you guys didn't listen to why he bought the G14 at all clearly.
@@techonpoint2493 build don't matter much if the screen isn't as good and it's running nice and hot TBH
I got a Zephyrus g15 with Ryzen 7 4800HS and 1660ti(max-q) with 16 gigs and 240hz 100% sRGB display. The display is phenomenal and I can't say I got any throttling, although the temps do tend to stay in the 80s.
Yas! I'm waiting for my legion 5 to arrive❤️, I purchased it after the direct comparrison vs the omen
Hi Jarrod. I have the HP Omen 15 (Ryzen 7 4800H + GTX 1660ti model) which I love. I've noticed in a couple of vids now that you've mentioned OC'ing the Omen with Ryzen Controller / Afterburner. Could you please either post your optimal settings or maybe even do a video? I'd love to optimise the Omen as you have done but don't have the knowledge and would massively appreciate some help! Thanks 👍🏻
Dell G5 SE has improved drastically, I must say. In my testing, the G5 SE showed much better temps and no crashes. Initial launch was absolutely terrible and that has ruined it's image.
Using Ryzen controller and settings CPU temp limit to 92C drastically changes the way the machine behaves! Low temps and high performance!
Yeah, I've had one for three months and it has improved greatly over time
your videos helped me so much Deeptesh!
Retesting it with latest updates is on my to-do list.
@@JarrodsTech nice one, we can't wait for that.. so happy with our G5 SE.. a budget gaming laptop that can perform well in most triple A games at 60 fps or more 🔥🔥
I agree with this, since the AMD drivers have started to be updated, the new bios 1.3 (I've avoided 1.4.4 for now) the performance has improved dramatically. I've used Ryzen controller to thermally limit to 90C as Deeptesh has and its just amazing tbh.
You deserve every PUB on your vids. Great as always. TY and cheers from Portugal ;)
I caved in and traded my MSI GS66 for a G14 today, lesser GPU but ultimately a better choice looking into the future
REALLY? was it worth it more than the gs66? I’m think the gs66 rn
As a G14 user I'm proud to have it! I'm a literature student and a casual gamer. I don't mind the lack of num pad and the lack of webcam since I always an ext one. Battery life is phenomenal, doesn't thermal throttle, looks stellar, is portable, performs decent enough to give 60-70 fps on aaa titles high-ultra settings, has a usb c charging. Can't go wrong for am all in one laptop♥️
Feels so good watching this video on my legion 5. Thank you for your videos !
Nice list, by the way, I'm loving my HP Envy x360 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 U Processor and integrated graphics, it does well on high settings on the games I play, so far no crashing.
I got the Legion for 850, even though I was vouching for the Omen. I took your word for the Legion and I am impressed indeed. Thank you, Jarrod!
Thank you. I like that you rate and give close ended answers to your video titles
Everyone was waiting for this video, before Christmas 🎄.
Black friday!
I wanted to get it done before black Friday 👌
@@JarrodsTech unfortunately none of the best laptops are unavailable in India.
@@ajinkyabodke_ i fell you bro
you were instrumental to my eventual purchase of my legion 5 laptop and watching this video, i kinda thought the omen 15 would be top 1. having the legion 5 in the top 3 would have been fine by me but seeing as you have it as number 1 was a surprise. im really happy to have gone with a legion 5. its just a 4600h with a 1650ti and the crappy 120hz they all diss about, but im content with what i bought. it works well for what i use it for. and its so damn quiet and cool. congrats Jarrod! keep it up! 👌👌👌
120Hz isn't crappy lol, an external monitor is always an option if anything
You should try (when it get back at stock) the HP Pavilion Gaming 15, its amazing for the price. I took mine for less than $650 USD
I ordered the Lenovo Legion 5 (4800h RTX 2060) yesterday in a sale. Thanks for the review.
Nice, hope it goes well!
watching on my omen 15 2020 r7
thanks jarrod for being honest
Watching this on my Zephyrus G14. Definitely recommend this laptop to anyone who prefers a small laptop for the road that can turn into a gaming monster when plugged in at home. Thanks Jarrod for your reviews and videos. I finally have my own laptop and it is really really good.
G14 gang!
Loving your reviews..
Love from India❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review. The comparison bar charts particularly the pixel response was really useful
Thanks, good to hear!
Use Ryzen controller for Dell G5 15 SE to control the temperature.
Would that then decrease performance? Im getting one and am looking for things that i should be doing with it to keep it going well.
I bought omen 15 because that was the best ryzen 4000 laptop at the time I was looking for a new laptop. And even if legion is the best one, I think I'll still choose omen for the design. Legion design is still looks too 'gaming', at least for me. So I didn't regret buying omen 15. Used this laptop for about more than 2 months now.
Anyway thanks for the video! 😊🙏
We need the same vid for intel, especially focused on cpu temperatures while video rendering and streaming
I bought the Legion 5 thanks to your review weeks ago, it actually is the best ryzen laptop!
Could you do a gaming test of lenovo legion 5 with 2060?
I've been watching your videos since March and finally got my own PC last month after lots of hard work and encouragement from the comment section. I don't understand why I'm watching these videos rn 😂
In india the dell G5 SE is the best bang for the buck option at 75k inr (~1000 usd) for R5 4600H and 5600M with 120hz screen. The omen 15 is 86k inr (~1,162 usd) for the 4600H 1660ti and 60hz screen. Lenovo didn't even launch the legion 5 amd version....
Hopefully they launch Legion there!
@@JarrodsTech is it a good idea to buy current gen laptops right now or should I just wait for next gen ? Ryzen 5000 and rdna2 or ampere GPUs ?
It will launch on 23 dec. Waiting for it since august😤
@@content8420 source bro?
Price wise, dell g5 se costs almost the same as lenovo legion 5 which is 928usd in america and 75k INR in India. So fingers crossed for the lenovo legion 5's price in India🤞🤞. I've arranged 85k for it. If I get it under 80k I will buy a 500gb nvme and if Not I'll manage with the the given 512gb storage😮😮
Thanks for the great comparison. I just found the HP Omen 15 on sale at Best Buy for $849. Just pulled the trigger on it!
I now that legion 5 is overall better, but my eyes just tend to love omen 15, so I don't now what to choose.
Same
The one with rgb lol
lol.. same here.. Legion 5 seems like a winner but the only downside is that it has a plastic deck.. what a bummer.
If we talk about Intel variants, the Omen 15 is probably better since it allows switching to discrete graphics. But for AMD, Legion 5 seems to be better.
Keeping this in mind, I still went for an Omen 15-ek0022tx (i7-10750H, RTX 2070). Zero regrets.
@@vspecky6681 I don't now what it is 😅
Appreciate all the time and effort testing each model. Great report 👍
It's peculiar. Your voice matches your face, which is rare.
Uhmmm...Should we be concerned with that these days...🤔
@@TopperPenquin yes but who cares my child
Awesome. Many thanks 👍👍👍 ...for some unlogical reason I like the Omen 15 more than the legion5 😁
Im with you on this and many do feel the same.😁
First comment, HELLO Jarrod! 🙌😁
Hey!
I have just started searching for a laptop just from today morning. Thank you for helping out. 😍👏
Got the G14 one of the best 14" and under. laptop 15" is too big to carry around G14 very portable
Which specs u got? I'm confused ,can't decide which one to get the g14 or the omen 15 (omen 15 is a beast in games)
Bustbuy canada discount $1499 rysen7 with the 1650ti 512gb it have a great mouse pad
Check them out at reddit zephyrusG14
Hey jared idk if you will read this or not but you're one hecc of a laptop reviewer. Keep doing the good work and stay hydrated.
Thanks! *takes sip of water*

Im curious what good is that gonna do?

@@hassanahmad568 Google shunt mod. It raises the power limit by lying to the system about how much power is being draw. So you can draw 80w and it thinks it's only drawing the 60w limit.
@@heroofharo Sounds dangerous like you could lower the life of the laptop by running it too hot.

I'm buying a helios 300 on the weekend
Cool hope it goes well!
waiting for it to go black Friday sale.
I got the G14 back in August and I love every aspect of it. 4900HS and 2060 MaxQ
i got one 2 days ago on sale at Best Buy ... supposedly 3000 series nvidia gpu with 5000 series AMD processor laptops are coming out early 2021 though.... so i may return the G14 in january to get the refund
India doesn't have AMD variant of legion so I bought the Omen. It's so good!
Yeah I got the en0037ax
Same. There were some really good deals for the Omen 15 on Flipkart, and pretty much all the high end variants sold out real fast. Luckily, I was able to get the last remaining ek0022tx (i7-10750H, RTX 2070) at a good price. Super awesome laptop!
@@vspecky6681 i wish they offered the 2070 with Ryzen 7 :) I'm pretty happy with the 2060 tho

The Legion 5 is fire, but it scratches easily
Sadly very true and that's what is holding me back to pull the trigger on Legion. Its overall good plastic with cheap looking deck.. and that rubberized coating seems good for now but will wear off over time.
Fire doesn't scratch easily:)
Love the reviews. Bought the legion5 and have continued to be impressed by it.
