3 жыл бұрынThanks to Lenovo for sponsoring today's video! Check out the Lenovo Legion 5 at lmg.gg/vEcEo
AMD processors in laptops are getting really popular, and Lenovo has your wants covered with the Legion 5 gaming laptop. Linus shows it off, and yes, in ShortCircuit fashion, we pop open the hood to see how the cooling system works.
Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

ikrr even i would prefer an amd laptop with a good config and amd is just cheaper when buying too and also in your power bill (which isn't very significant but its not negligible considering how i use an intel pentium laptop from 2008) and if you go amd manufacturers can also increase the power draw for the gpu and i've seen a video about this on another channel where the gpu had some headroom for the power limitation over its twin intel version where the gpu had less power allowed to it because of how power hungry intel is

If you can wait then wait there is always something new around the corner. While you loose a bit on silge core compared to the best intel has to offer you honestly won't notice it. I think future GPUs still will take time to work out whats best given your requirements on laptop but it's amazing to see AMD back in the game. Been many years since I had a AMD CPU and I have zero regerts.

@jonasfermefors 3 жыл бұрын
I got mine a few weeks ago with Ryzen 7, RTX 2060, 16GB RAM and 1TB HD. I'm really happy with it so far. I have it hooked up to a dual screen config most of the time with a primary gaming monitor running at 2560x1440 with Gsync and everything I've tried works splendidly at that resolution. When I've been running strategy games I've often had a full HD movie on the other monitor without any issues... some whine from the cooling, but not much. The processor is a beast. I've been doing my job on it as well because everything just feels so much better than on my work PC - a Lenovo L490 with i5 and 16GB RAM, but an Intel graphics card and a slower SSD. It just feels so sluggish now just starting regular productivity apps or working with a handful of Chrome tabs. My only complaint is that I would have liked to have one more USB-C port. I use the only one as a displayport. Other than that it's great.

I love my AMD Legion with 3060 graphics and 120hz screen, I've had it a year - upgraded the memory to 3200 32GB (the 8GB really stalls it) and added an extra 1TB M.2 for steam installs. Also got a KLIM laptop fan cooler stand. Plays everything really well, cyberpunk 2070, FarCry 5 and it is fine when connecting to my 1440 external screen. The down sides - The screen is a little dim and the plastic marks and damages too easy (I had to add a palm protector onto the plastic as I would not be shocked if the colour started to fade. And I did 'Upgrade' to Windows 11 - while it did score an extra 300 points on 3D Mark some games do stutter now when it never used to and it doesn't sound as loud as it did on Windows 10. I will be looking into getting an upgraded version in the next 6 to 12 months. Oh and hardly any bloatware. Oh it hit a very respectable 50+ FPS when I connected it to a 4k monitor and ran Tomb Raider on medium settings, although 1080p to 1440p is where it shines.
