My Legion 9i gen 9 just arrived yesterday. This machine is a beast. The 3.2k mini LED is the show of the year. Absolute wonderful display. This one is fully maxed out. i9 14900hx, 64gb ram, RTX4090 @ 175W. This machine is a beauty, and i don't regret putting my money on it.

@MashITTech Ай бұрын

I reviewed the 9i last year and absolutely loved it. The carbon fibre looks stunning in person. My only gripe was the price in the U.K.! Did you manage to get a good price on this years model?

@godiananyanwu5894 Ай бұрын

@@MashITTech Yes. Lenovo had a 15% discount going on when I got it. I paid £3,506 for the laptop. And then Lenovo gave me 99% discount for 3yrs premium warranty. I paid only £1 for that. Additionally, I purchased 3yrs accidental damage protection for £115 because there was a discount going on for the legion. And 1yr Lenovo smart performance. I paid Total of £3,677. However I think there's no sale going on right now. The price for the configuration I bought has gone back to £4,099 without warranty upgrade. Overall I think I got a deal. Given the fact the other brand in this configuration are nothing below £4,000+

@MashITTech Yes, I did get a good price for the laptop. Lenovo legion lineup was on a 15% discount here in the UK when i placed my oder. So I paid £3,507 for the maxed out version. And then I paid for 3 years premium care, 3 years accidental damage, 3yrs Battery protection, and 1 year Lenovo Smart performance. So, a total of £3,677 is what I paid for everything. Also, I think I got a good deal for it. Because I looked at other brands with this configuration here in the UK, they were more expensive. I looked at Razor Blade 16/18 2024 £4,000+, I also checked Asus rog strix scar 2024. The price was almost £4,000+. So overall, I think I got a good deal from Lenovo.

@rickystafford7433 Ай бұрын

imo the 165hz display is the only way to go. I don't see a way to add it and choose white on the Lenovo website. They only have two models to choose from. BB has the white model in the US but it's the 240hz panel and $250 more. I honestly don't know why they even offer 2 panels when the 165hz one is clearly superior with its color gamut. The screen is everything at this point...if you're not gonna offer OLED in 2024 then you have to put forth your best IPS. That's what I like about Asus is they always just put the best screen available in their laptops and call it a day.

Can we modified the color shown in the rainbow pattern? Have u ever had a problem with the rgb keyboard, in any oh ur laptop that has rgb, if 1 or 2 keys dont lit up, or even all keys, is it easily repairable in official sevice centre? Hoe much the cost to replace with new one?

if you're not a heavy gamer, you'll do better with yoga 9i, it's more portable and productivity focused and it can handle light to medium games at good enough performance, but if you play games often and need power and can carry the brick around and use it while being charged, you should get the legion.

To anyone wondereing a normal users experience with this laptop, I used it for 30 days, everything was fine, gaming was good, ran softwares like Houdini very well, I used it always on charge but I had conservation mode and things Lenovo Vantage provides to keep the battery healthy whilst on charge, anyway, after a couple of weeks I noticed when I am trying to boot up any game, on steam, battlenet, Unreal etc I would get a black screen, I called technical support and they couldnt help, so I requested a return, then I found out that somehow games load up when it isnt plugged in to charge and only black screen when it is on charge, this also happened before and after I updated everything, drivers, windows, lenovo, nvidia, still nothing changed, it was extremely frustrating and its making me consider ordering a new one or looking elsewhere for a 16 inch laptop, this was just my experience but if it helps anyone in how they spend their hard earned £2000 then I've done my job.

The facts that this laptop maxed out with a RTX 4070 is such a deal breaker for me, I'm looking for a new laptop and it need to have a fingerprint sensor, I just can life without it in my laptop. For some reason almost every laptop with fingerprint also maxed out with the RTX 4070. Don't get me wrong the RTX 4070 is a decent 1440p card but the problem is THE VRAM! I'm not going to buy a 8GB graphics card in 2024 when that is already no enough for a lot of game. If only they would have released a RTX 4070ti with 12GB of VRAM for a refresh to close the gape with the RTX 4080 but nope they HAD to focus in AI this year ... Anyway my last hope the Raider 18 HX A14V for a reasonable priced RTX 4080 laptop with fingerprint sensor.

I am not a fan of the 14th generation as they are, to all intents and purposes, a repurposed 13th generation. Also, the RAM is slower and has more latency than LPDDR5X, and I prefer fast now rather than the chance of upgrading sometime in the future. Also, not having the Core Ultra means you do not benefit from the latest architecture, including the low-power efficiency cores (background tasks and video playback) and the latest ARC Graphics (explains why battery life sucks on this). So this and other 14th-gen are easy passes, and I would recommend waiting for the next-gen if you can, as you are likely to regret this in six months' time when Intel reveals their latest chips.

I understand that you have to keep up attention to your channel, but so far I really have to say that the 2024 gen is the least exciting update I can remember. Well, the easier way to open up the back for upgrades seem to be nice, but other than that? Meh...

@MashITTech Ай бұрын

I 100% agree with you and as a reviewer it is really hard when it is a year of mostly rebrands! Also as someone who buys the laptops I review I just cant justify getting a lot of them in (especially at the price of the razers) just to tell viewers they are almost identicle to last year 🤣

@henrikg1388 Ай бұрын

@@MashITTech I really have to thank you and other reviewers, for buying a (non-slim) Legion 7i Pro last year. Even if I have a larger wallet than most, I simply cannot justify buying a 2024 gen upgrade. But keep up the good work! And if I may, keep focusing on the support plans, because that's what really matters to us hybrid pros/gamers. That is what makes your channel stick out. But who am I to say? I am not even a member/patreon? 😉 I have a slightly bad conscience... I'll probably cancel Netflix and do my due diligence. 🙂

@eddieneyman4035 Ай бұрын

Lenovo's wave of mega silent firings in early 2023 were absolutely despicable. They laid of thousands of really great people after posting record profits and bragging about moving up the Forbes list each quarter in their "All Hands" NA org sales meetings to those people that moved the needle for them. They ruined thousands of people's lives who relocated and rented or purchased new homes just to join the US sales organization during the digital boom of the pandemic and increase in business for them, forcing them to lose their homes and become homeless. Their warranty process is atrocious and considered terrible by anyone who has had to deal with service claims on top of this. If you have any sort of human ethics or care for others in your soul, game elsewhere.

Many laptop companies have been doing layoffs including Dell and HP. Also most non-Apple/Dell laptops have terrible warranty processes so this isn't unique to Lenovo. I'm more concerned about spyware and bloatware that Lenovo may install on their non-thinkpad machines.

Tthe G16 4070 is little bit cheaper than the L7i but that version has the Core Ultra 7 and 16 gigs which I think is worse value for money compared to the L7i.
