Update: Although my Legion 5 shipped with a 130W power limit, there is an update to max it out at 140W which my video was not tested with. I retested a few games with the update and did not find it to make a real difference one way or the other: pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds558976-vbios-for-rtx-3060-legion-5-15arh7h-windows-11-64-bit
How is the screen wobble compared to 2020 and 2021 version? Is it wrose?
why u lie? 140w 3060!!!
Fast at it please, I need it like rn.
Cant wait for the comparison!
Bro should I go to lenovo legion 5 (2022)or rog strix g15/g17(2022)

So I'm confuded
Please suggest me to go with one which both has ryzen 7,6800h , 3060 graphic
Please reply please
'yes mom i need this for studying'
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why same comment in every tech vdio😩
It worked for me!
@@gavi2951 lol
This video is perfect! Super in-depth, covers every possible aspect (Linux support in particular is usually overlooked, and important to me) and the best part is that you put captions, no small task for such a long video.
This has got to be the best laptop review I've ever seen on UA-cam. No one has gone so much in depth as you have. Thank you for the hard work. Like, commented and subscribed.
Because of you, I'm getting this laptop no doubt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi,
Do you recommend it??
@@laralopes7879 i do. But this laptop is kinda heavy. If that is a deal breaker for you, do keep that in mind.
Thanks For Everything! I was waiting for this review!
Thank you for the review. Noise levels seem very good. This is the very laptop and configuration I'm after because I like this year's design much more, as well as it has a 1440p screen which is much better than the 1080p one last year. It seems better in many ways. This is the one I'd like to buy now.
They definitely took their time to make the L5 look and feel good, I can’t think of a better looking laptop in its price range
Yes
Do we know if there will be an AMD Advantage edition?
@@balintborbely885 IDK. I know that the 2022 Legion 7 AMD is, but I'm not sure on the Legion 5 (the 5 Pro is only Nvidia afaik).
@@cameronbosch1213 It would be a shame imo. I don’t know numbers of course, but I bet last year’s AMD Advantage versions sold well. But again, maybe not well enough
@@balintborbely885 If it didn't sell well enough, there wouldn't be an AMD Advantage Legion 7...
First comment ..
and as usual a great video with awesome details. Thank you for all the hardwork and making the purchase decision easy for us.
This is one the most detailed review that I've ever seen. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
great review as always
I just love that peripherals are on the back, it's just so clean!
I agree!
Really nice review Jarrod.
It is a great machine with drawbacks obviously but it provides a lot of useful features.
Its price to value ratio is good especially during sales but competition is getting stronger and TUF'er with Asus TUF A15 for example.
Therefore keep us up to date on what is going on in the laptop world.
Superb video! thanks
nice video jarrod!
I picked up the intel version yesterday, because it was at a good price. It's my first gaming PC. thanks for the info. I was also looking at the Tuf A15.
Good review Jarrod
Finally a laptop review where fan noise is considered. Thanks
Hey Jarrod,once again a great video we've all been waiting for.
One request,can you compare the msi ge/gp-66/77 with the 7i 2022,with similar specs,like ddr5 ram,cpu and 3070ti(since 3080 with low power limits doesn't justify price)?
Amazing, thorough review. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
finally the review has arrived, lets gooo
@JarrodsTech Hi, this is a great review with lot of details and sidenotes. your work is much appreciated. Did you ever test faster DDR5 modules with the ryzen 6000 series? I was wondering if it is worth to upgrade to 5200 or 5600 modules. thank you in advance! best regards
insane release, thanks!
I. ADORE. U JARROD!!!!! I was already impressed by the ultra detailed laptop review which u posted, but never did I expect u to test linux support, least of all Ubuntu, the very distro I daily drive. On top of that, as if reading my mind, u go ahead and assuage my doubts on support for precisely the very things I was concerned about - keyboard lighting and perf. mngmt... chef's kiss! Your, albeit tedious, coverage of laptops is excellent bar none and invaluable to actual market goers looking to buy a new machine. Again, testing for linux support was going above and beyond, especially when Google gave a grim picture showing stitched together kernels and long reddit frustrations. U r, in my opinion, the unsung creator of an unglamorous, remarkably meticulous, one shot reference for prospective buyers, modulo only spec sheets, though they too, at times, blush seeing ur videos. Incredible work showing careful thought. Massive effort.
its a good laptop. yes its for gaming but its also perfect if you are a media student or a student related to media and it learning snd doing stuff to do with photoshop, illustrator and premiere pro. gta 5 works pretty well
I have the 2020 version of this thing and it still rocks. The best investment I have made, this is going to last me until 2025 at least, I added a super fast ssd nvme and I use a 2tb samsung ssd for games, The performance is incredible. Ryzen 4000 series are light years ahead of intel, no need to upgrade my windows system atm because I am a casual gamer so no biggie with the gpu. I paid near 1400 dollars for this thing due to the pandemic shortages, but it was worth every penny. Never have had a blue screen or any problem at all, except the audio drivers recently.
What gpu do you have?
Bro you convinced me to get one. I just hope the new don't droo soon. If so that ok because this dude really like this one & he knows what he is talking about. I learned so much from listening. Thanks
waiting patiently for the 5i review
It looks great, but im a little concerned whether the headphone jack being on the right hand side would be annoying for using a mouse on that side as well.
Can you make a dedicated video about DPC and total system latency to showcase the facts & misconceptions about them, laid with a chart for laptops of this and last year's models ranked by their latency test results? I'm quite partial to dismiss DPC latency as a factor when choosing a laptop, but I'm very curious whether high DPC latency causes issues in gaming and media consumption. I began to notice some stutters, screen tear and glitching either while playing games, browsing the web, scrolling, typing or watching videos on my y530; an otherwise great machine with nice keyboard layout, accurate button press, a very durable screen hinge mechanism and good upgradeability. Likewise, I am with you on Legion keyboards being satisfying to type with. And since my job requires fast and accurate typing, it's a saving grace, and was the sole reason I've kept it for 5 years. Time for a refreshment, and I'm thinking this legion 5 will serve me well for another 5 years. Wish I had the money to afford a 7i, and not necessarily because I want to reduce e-waste. LMAO. I never wanted to touch a machine as badly as that, but seeing as it costs 9 times as my monthly earnings, I'll pass. Oof.
Just purchased the MSI GE66, i9 3070ti for editing/gaming! Very satisfied with this purchase! Eats through anything I’ve thrown at it so far. This or the legion 5 pro was my second option. Thanks for you videos Jarrod! You helped me with my purchase. Keep it up!!
Where did you buy yours?
@@fluffypotato7475 I bought it at B&H
@@jamesgutierrez1410 Thanks!
I really appreciate your Linux Support section! Thank you
JARROD'S reviews are awesome
I ordered Legion 5's 2022 model with 3070ti, G-Sync and the 300 W Power Adapter. It's going to be my first gaming laptop, so I'm pretty stoked to try it out!
Do you know l by chance the Tgp of the gpu
@@lucid_drifts6572That would be 125w TGP.
@@misswednesday299 hi dude! I'm looking for the same lapto, how it goes? Worth to pay 1900 USD for that versión? (QHD, 3070 ti, intel 12700h) or is a better option to go for the pro versión AMD 7 5800h with 3070? Thanks!
I have the same one. It's freaking brilliant.
Quite a few comments about price. Keep an eye out as Legion does some pretty crazy deals at times especially around Black Friday etc. I saved AU$1k off the RRP for the 2021 Legion 5.
would it give me a 1080p 240hz if I connected to my benq 240hz monitor through a 2.1 HDMI cable? and is it going to use the integrated card or the dedicated card?
also not quite sure if I understood the optimus thing, but I read somewhere that if I turned the laptop screen off and used the external monitor, it should give me more frame rates.
Is it the same case with this laptop or it can't do that?
So how would it stack up against the G15 3070 TI R7 6800H currently at £1699?
Do you think Framerate would be better with the 3070ti compared to the 5i pro? I'm trying to deicede between the two
Thanks Jarrod for this review❤️❤️, I would like to ask about the ideapad gaming 3 2021 edition w/ Ryzen7 5800H & RTX 3050 120Hz refresh rate, does it have panel overdrive feature, and I don't know why the HDMI Port connects directly to the AMD integrated graphics, is there any solution for this????
Hi Jarrod, I have a Lenovo legion5 (2021) model, I want to upgrade my M.2 SSD, and I want to ask what is the maximum storage I can use on legion 5? 1TB, 2 TB or 4TB?
Jarrod please make comparison between legion 5 pro 2021 and legion 5 2022. I'm mostly curious about how good the thermals
My parents just ordered this laptop with intel CPU (3 weeks from now) today for my study, I'm so hyped cuz I can study and enjoy the games I've always wanted to play. Thanks to Jarrod's vids, I was able to discover this hidden gem.
Obviously the best in its class. But the price is ridiculous in asia countries.
@@SR-fs2fd Try Asus a15 2022
Its less then 800 dollars in africa the 3050ti version
@@anashlal9238 Nice. That cost at least 1200USD for a i5 12400h version. Seriously ridiculous in Malaysia.
@@LokeKQ the Ryzen 5 3050Ti with 120Hz costs more than $1100 in Bangladesh
The Ryzen 7 6800 with rtx 3060 cost around 1400 usd in Indonesia. Technology sure is expensive
I have the the 2022 5i version, I installed a second pny gen 4 ssd, it can write and read but after some time the drive went to read only, I tried other ssd but it's still the same, works fine for some time but after a few days the drive went into write protection, I’m not sure what’s the problem 😢😢
Great video! So according to your old video about "ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15" is still the best one for this year right now? idk what to buy ç_ç
As someone looking at the Legion 5 as a good mid-range gaming laptop AND wondering about Linux support, your inclusion of this detail is really appreciated -- please keep it up. :) In terms of potentially improving this segment of your videos, it would be really helpful to know what Linux compatibility is like after upgrading the kernel to its latest version, as this often brings additional hardware support.
What is bwtter gf63 thin eith 4060 rtx and i7 proccesor or this legion?
@@floudz7750 I'm not really sure what this question has to do with my comment, but from what I've heard and read, Lenovo's Legion laptops are all-around a better propositions than MSI devices.
just looking for an advice on what I should go for between the acer predator(2022) varient with 3070ti or the Legion pro with 3070( price of both laptops are same in India) or any other suggestion
Excellent content! This model with Ritz 3070 (gen 7) exist?
I always like your reviews due to great detail from in to out. will you review acer predator helios 300 2022 model anytime?
Yes. it's in testing at the moment.
Nice video as always! Also, is it possible to review the latest ASUS ROG Strix G15 (Ryzen 7 6800H, RTX 3060)? It's about the same price as the Legion 5 in our country. I understand that you did a ROG Strix Scar 15 review, but that one's way more expensive compared to the Strix G15 here. Keep up the great work as always!
I think the model has a better design compared to last year. But it does seems to be minor. If you have last year's, this year is definitely a pass. Too bad no 17 inch models this yea. Otherwise I'll take that in a heartbeat. Still it's still a well capable machine for what it has to offer.
If you have last year one, the next 3 years are definitely a pass imo :D
@@thomassleziak1222 im gonna buy the last year one because its cheaper and there is no difference for gaming 😁
@@winterfell8756 you do the right thing, that gpu thermal throttle is a big downgrade compare to the last year model probably due to the removal of the left side heatpipe, the weak hinges won't be much of a problem but the price is a No go. get the last year and you'll be a set for a few years
@@Emad______ well here in france i can get the last year model for 850 euros witha 5600h and 3060 so theres definetely a big difference in price with the 2022 model so yeah for me the last year is a much better option for so many reasons
@@winterfell8756 that's a sexy price right there, but with which screen option? and ram/ storage?
'm about to pull the trigger on a Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" - Ryzen 5 6600H - GeForce RTX 3060 - 16GB - 1TB, Maybe a little older now but great price on it. Should last me a few years. Your videos helped me narrow it down after using apple for the last 15 years.
i got mine 20 days ago and it's wonderful.
Great video 👍🏽 Do u plan on testing the ASUS strix g15 3070ti ?
Hey just bought this laptop, and when I game in performance mode I hear a little static sound from the left fan, now the sound disappears when I lift the laptop, but the sound comes back when I cover the left fan with my hand I can hear the noise again. is something wrong or just the ventilation gets blocked and compressed air makes that sounds ?
Hey Jarrod, I dont know whats going on but on your laptop deals site I just spotted a 2022 version of the legion 5 pro with with amd internals instead of intel. Im quite confused as there are literally no reviews with that configuration. It would be nice to know how it really performs becasue it would have a combination of that incradible screen and the great battery life of amd laptops. If anyone has any advice about that config of legion versus a zephyrus g15 let me know!
This has got to be my favorite gaming laptop ever. Doesn’t look like a gaming laptop but plays like one which is awesome. Also the keyboard is amazing! The only downside is how hard it is to open up if you want to replace the Ram
Is it the Intel version
I work a lot with excel and a wobbly screen is not acceptable to me. Great device but unfortunately i believe i may have to pass on this one (although i like the design and the ports on the back). perhaps the heavy metal cover of the screen is the reason why it shakes so much..!
I got this one last year. My legion laptop scratched it's own screen on it's own keyboard after only a few trips in my backpack. It appeared gradually, I thought it was dust, but could not clean it away. By the time I realised, it was too late. I have no other issues with it, but keyboard imprint in my screen is infurating and very distracting in my art and games. Always keep a soft cloth or something inside your laptop for closing it.
in my legion 5 5800h 3070 i cant safely remove my samsung t7
it always says its in use
any driver missing? something else?
@jarrod hey, thanks for the great reviews . My legion 7 slim , (ryzen7 5800, rtx 3060 6gb 90w) has a built in Lenovo Vantage app but i can’t find gpu overclocking , is there any method to have it added to the app, maybe?
How does 12th gen i5 fair against this years r7 and i7? is it worth getting it instead of an r7?
Hey Jarrod, I am deciding between the Legion 5i pro (16”, gen 8) and legion 5 pro, gen 7. The price difference in AUD is about $600 dollars. Although the legion 5i pro is definitely better, the legion 5 pro gen 7 is much cheaper with 3060, though is still a great laptop right? Should I buy the legion 5 pro, gen 7, or legion 5i pro, gen 8? Also thanks Jarrod for your detailed and thorough reviews!
2021 Legion 5 has big problem with high pitch noise from fans. Is this problem also in 2022 Legion 5?
I have the Legion 5(2021) with a 5600h and a 3050 and the performance is insane for the specs and price. Pretty much can run everything on high (some games even maxed out) with 60 fps +. Also the laptops temps are amazing(70 while gaming max 80 for both GPU and CPU ) if you lift the back up with something like a wooden block or smth. Sound can be a bit loud but if you don't know if it is worth it. It is imo
i bought one with i7 and 3050.
Is that enough to run heavy programs and games?
If not I’ll return it.
@@dragginbalz5897 Look up videos and benchmarks that show how it performs in applications you want to use
is screen bright enough to use on sunny day indoors, or do you need to cover the vindows?
Can i ask?
Is the Gigabyte aero 15 worth it?
For gaming, working and watching.
This Labtop is awesome I just got mine today
I started to learn music production but my laptop can't handle it so please Would you recommend to me other computers that you think is really good under 1000$-1500$?
Hey, i have the legion 5 pro 2021 and it has a realtek wifi card. It has been causing a whole host of problems and I'm tired of it. Could anyone share a link of an Intel wifi card that is compatible with 2021 5 pro? Thanks.
Just had my 2020 Legion 5 stolen from me in broad daylight. It was such a good laptop, I really can’t consider replacing it with anything other than the 2022 model
What's is this laptop compared to Asus tuf a15 with ryzen 9 5900hx? Which one would you recommend and why?
Would the i5-12500H version of this laptop, with all other specs the same, be close in performance (ie cinebench score)?
I'd saved up 2 years for a new laptop and ... 3 weeks ago I bought the 5 Pro 16 i9-12900H 32GB DDR5 RTX 3070 and a LG 32GP850 monitor - To say I am very pleased and happy would be a major understatement. I am so very pleased with it having leapt up from a ASUS i7-8750H 16GB DDR4 RTX 1060 - Wowsers!
Congratss!
Got the Intel model of this for a 1000 euros with a 12500H and an RTX 3050 and I couldn't be happier
So, the battery life doesn't change much with the Ryzen 6800? Or am i getting it wrong? I was told it was supposed to be a game changer..
Can you do a low-mid budget laptop comparison?
hello, i bought this laptop back then upon your video , works great but 512 GB is way low, i want to expand storage for data, based on datasheet it has PCIe 3.0 x4 slot , i know if i bought an SSD with PCIe 4.0 will work , but would function at advertised speed ? or it'd be downgraded to PCIe 3.0 specs? as i'm now between cheap 2TB from msi m450 or cruical P3 , or going upgrade with crucial P3 plus or P5 plus , i notice most of PCIe3 are QLC compared to PCIe4 mostly TLC , so what do you think? i rather have upgraded variant but if my laptop would never got benefit of its specs, i'd rather spend less , regards
Have you noticed any keyboard lag? I've had mine for a month now and some times I have to push the keys multiple times to get it to type
anything specific you do to get that battery life on legion 5 ( both 22 and 21 version ) ?
Good rewiev. Made my decision based on it and buying a legion 5 ryzen 7 5800h + rx6600m 120hz screen...(under 1000€)
Hey, Jarrod! I think that Lenovo gaming laptops are great, the reason I even bought my first personal laptop: Lenovo R7000 2020 (Chinese ver. of Legion 5) was because of your video review in 2020. That was also the year I discovered your channel because of how you go down into details with the specs and whatnot about the Laptops you review. I'd like to request if you can address the stuttering issue with Lenovo gaming Laptops? Lenovo Laptops have been gaining a lot of recognitions in the past few years particularly the Legion 5 and 7 in your reviews as well as their ranks in your annual ranking of gaming laptops that you've tested. I think that claiming, as per your video description, that Lenovo Laptops as your favorite high, mid-range gaming laptops are going to affect consumers' choice to buy off these models, only to reach a certain time where they experience lots of after-sales problems particularly with these annoying stutters. In my case, it happened like a month after I bought my laptop in 2020. I thought it was just a software issue that'll only be fixed by updating the drivers or something like that since it was a new laptop. But no, it did occur a few times until it reaches to the point that it became like a requirement to have the laptop get stutter when I try to use it. It usually happens when a play music, video, and games. Even just casual roaming around my desktop, it happens. I can't help, but to bear with this annoyance in the past couple years and just helplessly accepted my fate with this laptop. I thought that it was a defect on my laptop alone. After several research through the internet, I've been getting information that it was an AMD issue, since I own the AMD version. Then, I just found a recommended video on my UA-cam feed that Lenovo Legion 7i has the same issue as well. What's worse is that, it has the worst stutter experience I've ever seen in a Laptop, like totally annoying, and loud given that his Laptop, Legion 7i, has far higher specs than I do. That's when it hit me that, that's it. I think that the after-sales concerns are not very much recognized in your channel. Not to mention, I even suggested and bought my sister, on her behalf, the Ideapad Gaming 3 amd Ryzen 7 3050 Ti. Because other than the stuttering issue, Lenovo laptops are really great. But guess what, right after playing some music in her new laptop in the first day she unboxed and use it, the stuttering occured, I was like, wth are the deal with Lenovo and these stutters. Like, right now, I don't know how to react about it. I'm just helpless and truly disappointed. It's not the CPU, the updated drivers, etc., It's Lenovo.
Ya, I'll never buy a Lenovo AMD laptop again. 2021 Legion stopped getting bios updates within the first 6 months and is permanently stuck with stutter issues because Lenovo won't update the BIOS. The AMD update that finally fixes issues on the 5000 series came out in 2022 and Lenovo doesn't seem to update past the first year (last bios update was Dec 2021).
I experienced a orange/yellowish tone on the screen.
Is that on purpose? To avoid blue lights?
Hey jarrod i bought 2021 legion 5 with ryzen 7 and rtx 3060, but with a wqhd screen is it worth it???
Asus tuf f17 12500h or legion 5 5800h both with 3050
Which one should I go for sir???(At same price)
Bonjour
@ 6:00 regarding the USB C PD
The documentation says it is PD compliant but as explained in the video the Legion 5 Pro is NOT PD 3.1 compliant
In my point of view, Lenovo plays on words in their documentation and on their website
Having to use and buy a proprietary power supply to get 135W is, IMO, a pain
My Legion 5 Pro (16IAH7H) is expected Dec 25 in the morning...🎄
I will see what happen when used with my Rocoren 140W USB power supply, but I suspect the load will be limited to 100W (20V, 5A)
Many many thanks for the vidéoS.
Regards, 40tude
rtx 3070 ti for this laptop
Does it come with 2 options of tgp power or only 140 w ?
My legion has some problem, when I’m playing game, and left it idle (or watching cutscenes), I have to press the keyboard twice, only then the system will respond to my keyboard input. Has anyone facing this problem ?
It’s like my keyboard going into kinda ‘sleep mode’ when not pressed in awhile. I tried to reinstall keyboard driver through device manager, but nothing better.
I bought legion 5i pro 2022 with RTX 3070 and i7 12700H and I've never been happier!
Legion laptops are simply the best, they're giving you a whole package from performance to relatively thin design to having multiple ports that support latest technologies! not even mentioning the really good deals that Lenovo always makes.
How's the battery life when doing light stuff, like watching UA-cam and web browsing?
@@user-zc2hz3yj2k I haven't tested it fully yet but I think when you use silent mode while browsing you'll get around 3-4 hours of battery life.
however I tested the battery in the most extreme power saving scenario:
I set the resolution to 1200p and the refresh rate to 60hz.
I used silent mode and used Optimus and turned on Windows battery saving feature and turned off Bluetooth and WiFi then I watched a whole 1080p movie offline for an hour and a half and it drained the battery down from 73% down to 52% which is really great!
while watching I was checking how much wattage the CPU was consuming and it was around 7.2 watts.
overall if you really want to save the battery you can but 12th gen intel CPUs are not a great contender for efficiency.
That's what I was thinking of getting this fall. Is 16 gig RAM enough? Is the i7 better than Rizon? I mostly keep my laptop plugged in.
@@christhompson9140 this year's i7 is overall better than this year's Ryzen but it consumes electricity more than Ryzen but it's absolutely worth it in my opinion!
16gb RAM is the sweet spot for gaming is it's somewhat usable for 4K video editing and stuff, so yeah it's enough
@@user-zc2hz3yj2k About 3hrs if you put it in Quiet Mode and switch to 60Hz, max brightness.
is this better than the asus rog strix g15 with the rtx 3060 and ryzen 6800H?
Will you be reviewing the 2022 Asus Vivobook Pro Oled 15?Btw loved the video, your content is amazing.
Thanks! Sorry but Probably not, I focus on gaming laptops primarily now.
Hi Jarrod, you mentioned that the competition has gotten tougher at its price point. Mind sharing these competitors and compare them against this Legion 5? I thought the Legion 5 is the best at its price range, but I would like to know other options before I purchase. Many thanks for the detailed review!
Please do!

I am hoping that something like this is available as a budget laptop in 2025, when I hope to upgrade from my Gigabyte G5 GD.
That is, from a decent budget 1080p to a decent budget 1440.
23:59 I find it weird that for about $1800, you can get a Ryzen 7 6800H & Radeon 6700M 2022 Legion 7 that's better in many ways than the Legion 5:
1. The Radeon 6700M GPU is better than the RTX 3060. Both in Linux & in Windows for gaming.
2. The screen is much better, with a 2560 x 1600 165 hz screen that is 500 nits bright.
3. The Legion 7 has a fingerprint sensor.
4. The chassis is much more premium on the Legion 7. It's a CNC Aluminum/magnesium unibody.
5. More RGB.
6. Bigger battery (the legal limit for taking onto a plane).
7. Glass touchpad compared to plastic/mylar.
8. Fn + R shortcut.
9. Better Wi-Fi 6E card (still a MediaTek card, and my Legion 7 had serious issues with its Wi-Fi card, but its a $20 - $30 upgrade, not the end of the world).
Seriously, this just shows the Legion 5 is overpriced this year...
do you think this years legion 7 AMD is better then last years legion 7i, im asking because i dont know which one to get
@@nappingstar5720 Yes.
@@cameronbosch1213 thank you
Jarrod, what do you think about Gigabyte Aorus 5 (2022 series)?
Hi nice review
I saw a legion 5i 2022 with RTX 3070 in local store also I saw it in UAE Lenovo web site
Is it worth buying?
Price bump is insane compared to last gen especially since the gpu gains are close to none. For that price last year you could have gotten rtx3070 version instead.
I’m waiting. Not interested in paying these very high prices.
@@TheInfernoM. do you think 3050ti is enough? Still torn between 3050ti and 3060
@@josephj6521 Give it a few weeks and it will probably be on sale for the rest of the time it's on sale.
3050ti on this laptop isn't super worth it if you are just gaming just get a ps5 at that point, 3060 at least for it to be worth it
Not that it's really worth it still overpriced compared to last year
I have a question. If I downgrade 1600p to 1440p is there a performance dip or not? I'm asking because i still don't have this laptop
AMAZING video! I have some asks,
1- Is it the sound on the headset (earphones) good? Is the audio program good? I have an Acer with that True Harmony and it's excellent, I wanted a good sound on the header in this Legion!
2- The notebook is very powerful and runs games at 100fps, if I play it via HDMI for my TV (which does not have G-Sync and etc) that displays a maximum of 60fps, looks good or gives stuttering? Activate V-Sync in each game slows down or does it solve the problem?
do you think the sound of the speaker on legion 5 (2022) feels like downgraded from legion 5 (2021)? please anybody answer my comment, because i think this model legion 5 (2022) speaker is like crackling sound compare to the legion 5 (2021)
It would seem that moving that third heatpipe from the GPU-die to the NVMe slot had a negative impact on GPU thermals -- from my testing, the 3070 5 Pro from last year never even crested 80c in sustained 140W + 45W stress tests with its stock fan curve.
What processor did it came with?
@@aceb2660 Ryzen 7 5800H
I have the legion 5 15ACH6, my battery only lasts 2 hours after a full charge, is this normal?
how many hours last the battery watching youtube, netflix, etc? in lenovo5/7
thanks!
