Thanks for watching the video! and yes it's a bit of a bummer not having that extra m.2 slot.

There is an extra m2 slot if you buy A1000 or a2000 card config

good to know, thank you@@user-bz5kg1ek4y

Thanks! I'd say I am getting around 6 hours of screen on time with the laptop unplugged. I am not quite able to make it to a full day but also keep in mind I keep my laptop charged up to 80% only to conserve the battery cycles.

Yes the 4080 is excellent with Premiere. I render all my videos in 4K with Premiere. I’d say the 4080 might be a better deal unless you find that the difference between the 4080 and 4090 model is negligible

Thermals are good, the only time they really become a concern is when I am either playing games or running a program that is intensive for the CPU. other than that for everyday use I haven't had an issue with overheating.

@@B4YBTech No concern is good - how is the comfort level though? Palms still on the palmrest, or is that already uncomfortable?

@@GreenStorm01 I don't get any head on the palmrest or even on the keyboard when I am using the laptop like normal (browsing, general use) even when I game , most of the heat is coming from the exhaust near the lid. There is heat coming from the upper deck which is to be expected when running intensive tasks. When I use it normally I don't feel any heat.

Buy it! It's nearly an identical chassis to the X1 Extreme Gen 2. I love my EG2, but it's not meeting my needs right now. I'm really impressed by the ability to pack in so much more horsepower into a 95% identical chassis and get better thermals. It's a few kgs heavier and maybe 3mm longer on the palm rest section. The liquid metal is the real winner here with the heat piping and fan layout. My configuration is 32gb DDR5, i7 13800H, 1TB SSD, and RTX 4080 12GB.

Thanks for checking out the video Fabian! and yes, the Legion Pro is going to be more powerful. I think it comes down to what you value more? Performance while sacrificing portability or sacrificing performance for a laptop that is thinner and lighter.

I have both. Legion 7i Pro 2023 model (with 13900HX CPU and RTX 4080 GPU) and a gen6 P1 with RTX 2000 Ada which will be delivered tomorrow. The Legion is a desktop replacement and super powerful, but I also wanted something slimmer and lighter that's easy to carry around with me. I avoid mini-LED or OLED panels on my laptops, they reduce battery life too much, even on my 14-inch MacBook Pro. The high refresh IPS display Lenovo offers is excellent, bright and sharp, with a useful 16:10 2560x1600 resolution, and you may automatically switch it down to 60 Hz refresh rate when running on battery power using a setting in the Vantage tool. That's the one I went for as it suits my preferences. I do have an ultrawide Alienware QD-OLED monitor that I can connect externally, if I want to play games.

@@little_fluffy_clouds Thanks for the input! I haven't found the option to automatically switch it down to 60hz. The Lenovo Vantage app on the ThinkPad is the "commercial version and definately has less options vs the regular Lenovo Vantage app that I found on my Legion laptop.

@@B4YBTech my P1 gen6 came with the Commercial Vantage tool too, but I used the Windows Store to install the regular Vantage app, instead. I prefer the features offered with the regular Vantage app. Unfortunately, the auto screen refresh rate change when you plug the mains connection in or out only seems to be made available on my Legion in a recent Vantage software update. Could not find the same option on my P1, which is a shame. Maybe a future software update will add that, but I’m not sure

There is a massive Black Friday sale going on right now!

You can use it without scaling but the text becomes a little too small for me to read. I currently have it scaled to 125%

Thanks!

I use a p1 gen 4 at 2560x1600 daily with no scaling. Rarely I've actually used the 4k natively, that's a bit too small, but 2560 on a 16" is my preferred performance.
