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.

Thanks for the review. Based on your overview and the comments so far, it appears to be a so-so offering, but for the price point it appears to be a decent deal. Great work as always.

Nice laptop. Nice that rams are not soldered and are positionned in the back. Btw the Bealtek 300w charger seems to be a bust. Our hopes for smaller high quality laptop charger seem to vanish in the air.

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.

Had mine slightly raised up from the back, doing so helps greatly with cooling!

Hey Great Review! Does the i9 14900HX throttle on this? Wondered would you recommend the i7 14700HX version instead or the i9?

God finally a laptop with 3 USB - C ports. Happy Christmas, though can we get a non-slim one so I can get a xx80 card maybe lenovo? EDIT: Sorry Mash I know you love your Alienware judging your channels 75% of it, but not everyones got 4 grand for a M18. :x

This laptop looks sick. I bought the 7i slim last year and still love it. I can imagine how good this new one is.

Thank you for the review. Question: can the 3k2k screen run games in 1600p or 1440p just fine or do you notice any blurriness? In my country there are only 3k2k screen options available.

Excellent review! I've had mine for about a month (240Hz, i9, RTX 4070 model) and I absolutely love it. You're comments were spot on!

I hope they keep going with the white in future models. This model was on sale on their website for 1700 and I could have gotten another 150 off. Decided against it at the end and for some reason it only came in black :/. I'll get another year use out of this laptop then look at the models next year.

When it comes to best LOOKING gaming laptop of 2024, nothing is competing with the g14 and g16 this year.

It does look very nice but the problem is I have an all blackout setup LOL! Everything from my monitor to my desk pad to my custom keyboard to my mouse to my entire desk to my Haworth Fern chair, to my desk lamp is black! Funny thing is maybe this would work as an interesting contrast?

I love the colour and design BUT I HATE the port placement. One of the best thing about Legion was the fact that there were adequate number of ports on the back. I have a Legion 5i 2022 model and I always have my mechanical keyboard and mouse plugged in. But because my Legion has two Type A ports at the back, my setup looks so clean and tidy.

When are you reviewing the 2024 Zephyrus G16?

Thanks for the video. I just upgraded the memory in my new 2024 Legion 7i. I also went from 32GB to 64GB (I used for my case Crucial RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MHz ). I must mention that when you start the laptop, screen will be blank for few minutes while it recognizes the new memory. Just wait and it should work.

Could you please do a video of: Legion pro 7i vs alienware X16🙏🏿

I assume white color is easier to get dirty, especially part where both your arm rest, touching area left and right of the touchpad, is it? I heard that the white version has a special rgb in rainbow pattern, color is lighter, than in the black version, is it true? Or is it also available in the black version? 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?

Thanks, Mate.

can you do a review on the 2023 asus zephyrus ga402 with the 4060

Hey! Great review as always, is there any chance I can get the download link to that RTSS OSD? Looks georgeous and really clean. Cheers from south america.

Looks solid. I hope they do a 5090 and they can have my money next year .. unless Alienware step up and get their act together.. currently have the legion 7i 4090 and it’s been great for last year

Hi , when do you think this laptop will be updated with the new lunar lake Intel CPUs ? 🤔

A newbie question. Would you go for Legion 7i gen 9 or the lenovo yoga 9i pro 16 inch? Just want a new laptop, but also some light gaming to keep in contact with mate on otherside of world. Maybe some xbox pass games

Nice video🎥💖💖✨

hey man is it possible for you to test overwatch2 at 1080p with lowest settings, want to see if 14900hx and rtx4070 can handle a sustain 400fps cause im mostly playing overwatch,thank you!

Can we upgrade to two 32GB × 2 for the RAM? I'm using last year's Slim 7i and it only maxed out at 32GB which is a bummer.

Look's great!

She's a beaut! Can't find white out here (Canada). Doesn't matter though, I got the 2023 Slim 7i in storm grey about a month ago. Lol. I wonder how yours compares. It's HX and you got the fancy new 3K panel. 👌Same cruddy speakers. My trackpad doesn't wobble though. 😬

can we get more details about the conditions during battery testing? even if not in the script,listing on screen stuff like percent charged when started testing refresh rate when testing windows battery saver settings used any rgb on and if so how much : any undervolting or overclocking any other applications beside youtube open while testing

bro you said that you will compare battery life of Slim 7 (amd 2023) with this one, please i dont know which one to buy Legion 7i 2024 (14900hx, 4070 with 3.2k screen) for 2445 $ or Legion Slim 7 2024 (7840HS, 4060 with 3.2k screen) for 1630 $ Please give me your advice 1) overall no matter price, 2) based on everything also with price / power / batter Also i am scared about their screen... and how i would fill after macbook pro 14 m1 max miniLED (my current laptop), how much is difference in color and quality, and how much matter they are? (i love glossy, or semi-matte) And i use trackpad often nowadays))) And what laptop do you use yourself as your main daily driver laptop? I am also thinking maybe even Legion Pro 7i?))) i broke my brain already Thank you in advance

love the white

I have been struggling to pick between the Legion 7i (14900hx/4070) for $1785 currently and the Legion pro 7 (7945hx/4080)for $2270. I think the amd is last year's model. Use case is video editing in DaVinci and some gaming (BG3, Fallout 4, etc). Any thoughts?

Beautiful laptop but I prefer the option of Ethernet on large gaming machines

7:43, should include fan noise in this .

Hi! I don't see the option for the better display in the US. Am I missing something?

Still MacBook pro with M3 pro chip with 36gb is the best combo

I really hope lenovo legion has 18 inch offerings next generation

that is indeed this year's best looking laptop!

glad to see a full sized sd card slot

Where did you got these gamut results from? What is your testing methodology? The notebookcheck results for 3,2k panel are completely different.

I'm in the UK and can only find that spec for £500 more than you listed. Were you quoting the official price or have things changed in the last few days?

This is the one to rule them all

Amazing machine

What is the ms rating on the 1600p display

I want to know what do you whink about rtx 4060 in this model, I could get one for 1390€ and I am really considering it.

Zephyrus g16, Alienware m16, lenevo 7i with same specifications. Can you guys put this into performance order.

i think this year G16 is better (slim/oled) and good performance what do you think sir

cutting off side vent for beauty is impractical

that laptop is a masterpiece

Well, I currently use Lenovo laptop. IMO, I understand the Design language of it 😅 (although mine is Entry level product 😅)

what about zepyrus g16 or g14

One question will legion 7i i9 4070 2024 will it get windows 12 as there is need of 40 TOPS(Tera Operation per Second I thinknou related) for it and is Lenovo La3 Ai chip is capable please help me as I have already booked it, I will get by Sunday morning it cost around 200,000 INR ( 2399$) with ADP for another 2 years, But if 12 doesn't work then no use of spending my hard earned money on it for next 5 years please help as in India as of my research no youtuber has made video on it 🙏🙏

Just bought this today.. hope it makes me more then I paid for it 😂

Why did they remove the LAN port?

I have this one !

Let me ask, will the 2024 version of lenovo legion produce the slim 7i?

Hmmm it's to expensive for what i get in Europe. Only RTX 4060, 16GB ram for 2269 euro. The Asus ROG Strix G18 has a 4070, 32GB Ram, 1600p 240hz mini LED screen for just 2199 euro.

this or the lenovo legion pro 5i ?

Any laptop at this price that's battery is draining so quickly under moderate load isn't worth the price at this point. Batteries should be put in the category of performance and unfortunately Apple is still the gold standard to achieve. Time manufacturers got on board with the fact a laptop should do what it was intended for by Steve Jobs all those years ago.

This might be the prettiest laptop that I've ever seen.

just a heads up your volume is very low in the video. turn up audio before exporting

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.

I7 14700hx would be a much better option as i9 would heat more and throttle

it dosent have an ethernet slot?

Thanks for showing quiet mode . People like me will play games on quiet mode :v haahaha

no oled in 2024, i cant buy knowing theres something better out there

2024 best looking laptop is zephyrus g16 sleek,classy ,thinnest and weights less than any 16 inch laptop

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.

Does freya allen have a american accent in this movie? :O

why did the horizon 5 gameplay look laggy

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.

Is this laptop good for college students doing research and studying ?

this laptop will be the best gaming laptop if it has the oled screen

For a laptop this expensive, the speakers should be much louder than this.

dont like the font design and style used on lenovo keybords

Why is everyone lying 🤦🏾‍♂️. That thing just screams “gamer boy” and it drives me crazy lol. And the pro 7i just further screams “RGB gamer bro.” Lenovo said fuck subtlety.

Personally, I hate white/light keyboards, I find them less relaxing and also the backlighting has less contrast.

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...

No mini led or OLED is just a no go for me. Add only 8gb of VRAM max to the mix and you got a seriously laughable notebook.

G16🎉

"All materials feels premium.." YES but not the cpu xD

The speakers are very disappointing compared to the asus rog 16

Fuc it, I'm ordering this laptop

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.

EXPENSIVE

In my opinion only Zephyrus M16 can rival it 😎

terrible speakers and screen. I returned it.

dont agree, only 4070, poor speakers, crap trackpad, no facial login?, ok screen, battery life is not great, looks great but surely the Asus G16 is far far better than this or even a RB16 is better, just not good enough, white is nice though

Whats the purpose for the screen to bend all the way back? Think about it lol. There is none. Jsut a gimmick

Why do they have such crap speakers.

i hate white laptops

Please DON'T BUY this Legion Slim 7i laptop. You're limited to Windows 11 OS only. Lenovo provides drivers only for this OS version. You can't install any other Operating Systems on this machine. It has provisions only for two RAM slots and two SSD slots. I bought one by my wrong decision. Now I regret. Please don't buy this Legion SIim 7i 16IRH8. Will Lenovo provide drivers for Windows 10, Windows Server os?

it did not come with activated windows?
