Using my 2021. Fantastic laptop!

I honestly love these types of videos, it's easier to know what model to get cause i wanna get the legion as well but i was struggling to pick what model i wanted

I just purchased Legion Pro 5i 2024 $1,724 I9 14900hx 32gb ram 2 1tb Nvme Rtx 4070

Thank you so much for this clear and thorough video! I'm a librarian transitioning to the GIS field, and the Legion laptop range is recommended from my grad school, but as a primarily Chromebook and Mac user, I was a bit lost (between documents and LIS software, I didn't need a lot of power, lol). Super helpful, and you didn't talk too fast to understand, or overload the audience with unnecessary info 👍

Man honestly! This is a great review video I've seen so far that's so in depth and decent🎉

Super helpful and interesting, love this kind of comparison videos. Well done Ben.

Oh snap. I snagged my 2023 6800H 3070ti for $955. 😳 These prices are nuts

Appreciate it bro. Very helpful video ❤️

"I recently purchased the Lenovo Pro 5i 2023 model from Best Buy during the Mother's Day weekend sale for **$1,349**, a significant reduction from its regular price of **$1,799**. This impressive machine is equipped with an **Intel i7-13700HX processor**, **16GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800MHz**, and an **Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB of DDR6 VRAM**. Additionally, it boasts an **IPS WQXGA display with a refresh rate of 265Hz**. Upgrading from a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, I am thoroughly enjoying this new laptop, especially when playing my favorite games at the highest and ultra settings."

Problen is that you did not test the 2023 pro with the 13900hx , who was an absolute scremer performance wise and would have topped all the benchmarks here.

Great job !👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much for these videos and job you do, I would love if you made Legion 7i gen9 review, 🙏🏻 greetings from Slovakia 🇸🇰🇪🇺

I picked up the 2023 i9 version recently and its been great. I prefer the regular USB A ports over the C as im in the Caribbean and USB C Peripheral are not very common as of yet. Although i do use usb c to charge my phone through the computer.

wow, this is super informative. thanks.

Appreciate your work brother ❤

Planning to buy one soon (From Canada). Should I wait for Black Friday or back-to-school? And which specs should I pick for programming and light gaming like COD warezone and FIFA?

I have the Legion 5 Pro AMD 2021, 2022 and now the 2023 version as the 2024 version is not out yet. Too bad the 7745 only supports up to 64GB and not 96GB. Silly me not researched that part so I couldn't use the 96GB of my mini PC. Have to buy a 64GB kit. And see how I can transfer my Samsung 980 pro 2TB from the 2022 to the 2023 model without having to reinstall windows hopefully. The Legion 5 Pro AMD series hasn't let me down once. Lenovo has build a solid bang for buck series. Still remember the 2021 model brought on Netherlands market for €1650 in Corona time and it's still cheaper than the competition🙌🏼

Thanks for the video. Yes people are buying these laptops because in the PC worrld, these represent the best value and great build quality. I bought one (used) for my daughter a couple of years ago and she loves it. Genshin impact plays wonderfully on it. Everything else is as smooth as butter.

Planning on upgrading to a Legion 5 Pro, I own a Legion 5 Gen 5 and Im really just upgrading for the Power Delivery the charger is such a hassle to carry around

I'm curious about reliability. I bought a Legion 5 Pro in 2021 and have had about 5 service order repairs on them including a failed motherboard, heat sink, speakers, BSOD and display issues. I'm just so fed up with this laptop but I guess consider myself unlucky with getting a defect. Anyone else having issues? How are the newer ones so far?

Using 2022 Legion 5i pro

Great job

Got the 2022 model. After a year and a month, it suddenly went down.

Love this video

I bought the 2021 model (now discontinued) literally in 2021 of the year. I thought I was future proof (and am) but fast forward to 2022 and I see Lenovo discontinued the 2021 model from their website and took out the 2022 model a year later. Dang.. . And I wish I woulda waited one more year for the new specs and whistles. Not that the 2021 model is any less. It gets the job done. But I have this thing where I want more and more onto the laptop specs. For example the chipset, graphics card like vram and having Nvidia over Ryzen sucks. Preferred the higher end GPU on the Ryzen than the 2021 model. The newer models of legion have more Vram. And it would make games less lag (on extremely rare occasions i noticed it on the 2021 games).

My lenovo legion 5 died after a year and a half. I used to be a big lenovo fan but not now. Unacceptable. Surfed the net and I find I am not alone. Look up issues for lenovo buyers beware.

I was planning to buy the custom 5i pro but eversince 7i launched with that 3.2k display, I decided to hold on. Coz for about the same price, it's far better option. Hopefully lenovo bring 5i pro with custom option to have 3.2k display and pls with HDR1000 🙏🙏🙏🙏 & also, am thinking of saving up even more for an rtx 4080 series machine instead of the 4070s bcoz the 8gb Vram with TGP capping by OEM at 100-110 W doesn't feel like a future proof graphics card to have in laptop with upcoming titles all planned to roast the older GPU devices with their engines and amazing graphix Any suggestions @BenGKaiser sir? Also, could u please make a video comparison between 7i pro RTX 4080 vs SCAR 16 rtx 4080..bcoz i found the SCAR having the lead bcoz of the display for the price! Help sir

using a legion 5 15ACH6 (2021) and i'm highly considering upgrading to a newer version under under $1400 though, any recommendations? 😬

Regarding upgradeability, do all model years only allow a single-sided SSD to be installed in the primary M.2 slot? Lenovo, in their infinite wisdom, decided to place the rather thick keyboard cable connector UNDER the M.2 module placed in the primary M.2 slot, which prevents a double-sided SSD from being mounted there. At least this is how things unfortunately are in my 2023 model. I found a cheap M.2 "riser card" so to speak, really meant to elongate shorter M.2 modules to fit in e.g. 2280 screw holes, and thought of using this to raise a dual-sided SSD I have free from the keyboard connector. But Lenovo had of course placed their M.2 connector too close to the side of the chassis for this arrangement to fit... Lenovo really screwed things up here. Only the secondary M.2 slot accommodates double-sided SSDs. Regarding the horrible lit up logo on the lid being there also on newer models, I think this is only available in some Asian markets. Poor bastards. Regarding "upgrading to a newer model", yeah, that might happen for me in 2030 or something. C'mon man, the "oldest" model being shown here is only from 2021! Performance-wise, the dGPU is the only meaningful difference between these, when comparing two laptops of the same tier specs (I mean e.g. gen x i7 + RTX xx60 vs gen y i7+ RTX yy60).

Hi, What is the best RTX 4060 and i7 laptop currently? Is it the Legion 5i Pro?

did you check the battery life while editing?

I got the legion 5i pro gen 9 with rtx 4070 and Intel 14th gen for 1800(including taxes)

Just got a legion 5 with i9-14900hx and rtx-4060. Is it worth upgrading to 4070 and lowering processor grade?

i`m using 2020 legion 5 with Ryzen and 2060 rtx an still i see no point to upgrade to 2024 version

2021 to 2024 Id guess 40% increase...35?

why you don talk about the 2023 R9 MODEL

where to buy 2021 model now?

Do same one for Pro 7

Any thoughts on the slim 5 vs 5 pro?

Can I buy 2021 model for $950

Why 2024 has 2 hole in the back i think 3 hole sirculation

Which Lenovo Legion would you choose and why? Looking for a laptop for graphic design/photography (mostly Adobe software + Affinity). Of course RAM would be upgraded to 32 GB. 1) Lenovo Legion Slim 5 - Ryzen 7 7840HS + RTX 4060 2) Lenovo Legion Slim 5 - i7-13700H + RTX 4070 3) Lenovo Legion Pro 5 - i5-13500HX + RTX 4060 4) Lenovo Legion Pro 5 - Ryzen 7 7745HX + RTX 4060

Asus might be a better option?

that arrows placement is criminal

Don't buy 4070 laptop if there is a huge gap between 4060 and 4070. Because there is hardly 7% difference and all specs are same. In desktop gpu there is huge difference in spec.

Gift me one please

only 15-20% :)

The only biggest difference is i believe that the 2021 or maybe 2022 still have thunderbolt port on them, so sad that this guy never mention the type of usb c that was on the laptop😅 he always said its usb type c
