@Gaurav Raj Panta I too agree with you, there are some videos that teach us as not in juts gaming as an overall graphics card value comparison between them, we can see that much of difference.

Which brand did you buy?

MUST READ BELOW! My experience so far after checking out this Legion 5 AMD. How to buy - Right now not available in stores, but go to store ask them to order one and after 4 days later, get it in store itself. Legion 5 AMD 4600H/4800H - 79,000 / 89,000 1. 4600H/4800H - Top most mobile cpu you could get in this price(far better than 10750K) 2. 1660 Ti is perfect for 60+ fps with ultra settings with all and even latest AAA titles. But in here 1650 Ti is still better, it only 20% performance drop from 1660 Ti. 3. Crucial 3200 CL 19 - 8GB RAM - Dual slots(one filled & one empty) **If you are a heavy user, just get an additional 8 GB(it should be the same RAM model)from Lenovo showroom itself** 4. SK Hynix NVME 256 GB SSD - Great speeds 2K/1K of R/W. **If you want upgrade SSD ask the store swap a better 960 Evo(3K/3K of R/W) for C Drive** 5. WD HDD 1TB 5400 - Good terrabyte storage ** Gamers - If you want faster loading speeds, swap the HDD for a 860 Evo Sata/M.2 SSD. It will only help in faster loading speeds, not gameplay. **Video Editing/ Content Creators - Definitely, swap the HDD for a 860 Evo Sata/M.2 SSD. 6. Display - 250 Nits. But 300 would have been perfect. ** Gamers - 120Hz is nice. But NO Freesync / G sync. **Video Editing/ Content Creators - 72%NTSC is perfect for color accuracy, but it has 45% NTSC. My opinion-you can later get a good display for professional works. 7. Great cooling system. Simply desktop level performance from this beast of a Legion 5 It is solid Laptop in this price range. BEST BUY LAPTOP IN 2020. 1. HP Omen AMD 2020 is very similar to Legion 5 AMD2020. (ALSO A BEST BUY LAPTOP IN 2020). 75,000 2. Don't consider HP pavilion Gaming. coz Omen is so value in 75 k price range. 3. Acer Helios 300 2020 - Also a very good Laptop. 4. Asus Zephyrus G14 - Also a very good Laptop. 5. Dell G3 - Not a better cooling system. 100°C 6. Asus TUF 2020 model - Not a better model from this year.

glad to be of help

@@masterofnone4608 hello , why you put seperately DDR4 sodimm Mhz 3200 , and what it give?

@@reshad711 hi. having 2 sticks of RAM means it will run in dual channel, which will give you better performance. a system with say 16gb of ram (8gbx 2 sticks) will run faster than 16gb of ram(16x1 stick). of course, it also depends on your use case. in most day to day usage, eg word processing, content consumption you may not even notice the difference between running the ram in single or dual channel. however, if your use case involve some memory intensive work, then you may see performance improvement. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 i have got new ASUS TUF A15 .In the fabric they put one DDR4 so dimm 16 gb 3200mhz . If I buy one of this RAM , I don’t need change fabric RAM to ,,Samsung or Adata or Kingstone’’ which is recommended?

@@reshad711 hi. brands don't matter as much. I personally would buy the cheapest ram from a reputable brand. what's more important is to match the specifications of the RAM. in this situation, if you're adding another stick of ram to existing one (I'm assuming ur laptop does hv 2 ram slots as I'm not as familiar with the tuf15) the best thing to do is to buy another stick of same capacity, 16gb and same speed, 3200. if possible try to match the latency as well( although this may not be as clearly labeled) this will ensure that your laptop won't run into stability issues. hope this helps. thanks.

thanks for watching😊

hi. thanks for watching. I quite like the stand because it's made of solid aluminium and feels sturdy. also because of the fact that the legs can be fold flat. I don't know how much the stand cost because I got it for free. When I bought the laptop, lenovo did a giveaway promotion on the website. basically if you bought a Legion, you enter your email and home address and if you're among first 500 or something they send you some free stuff eg cap, water bottle, laptop stand, and headphone cases. so I was one of the lucky ones. maybe I'll make a video one day of what I received. that's the thing about lenovo, they always do some quiet promos on the website and sometimes the way the website is arranged don't make things too obvious. so, to answer your question whether it's worth it. if you think it's expensive and there are cheaper alternatives, then it's not worth it. personally, if I was looking for a laptop stand, I'd buy a cheaper one with probably some fans etc. functionally, a cheap laptop stand would function just the same. hope this helps😊

@@masterofnone4608 Thank you very much for your extensive reply, much appreciated! 👏 I agree with you about the quality of the genuine stand, especially the flexibility which allows to use it in different configuration of height and inclination. This is something quite unique and not easy to find in alternative solutions. Unfortunately the retail price is very high in my Country, the equivalent of around 70$. Of course the opportunity to buy it at a significantly reduced price would be a no brainer but at a full price it's not an hands down decision. However it's nice to know you find it a quality choice. Thanks!

hi. thanks for watching. for m.2 nvme ssd, the Legion 5 supports up to 80mm length ssd(2280). compatibility wise, pretty much any brands of m.2 nvme ssd would be compatible. hope this helps. thanks.

unfortunately can't give you definitive answer. looking at lenovo's configurator they only allow up to 1TB for each,but as you see with RAM just because lenovo offers up to 16gb that doesn't mean that that's the maximum it can support and the manual for legion 5 also did not specify a maximum limit. I would imagine there's no reason for it not to work, but I myself don't have a 4tb drive to try. Sorry couldn't be more helpful.

thanks for watching. ha ha. it really does, doesn't it? I struggled first time taking the back panel off, all these videos make it look so easy. the clips at the side vents are really annoying to get off😅

@@masterofnone4608 Yh the clips at the side vents was the part where I struggled 😂. I thought it'd be easy after looking at different videos too 😅

thanks for watching

hi. thanks for watching. right, if you plan to install an m.2 nvme ssd on the Legion 5 as secondary drive, it's pretty much plug and play. if it's a virgin drive(ie never been formatted/installed before) then you may need to format it first before it can detected and used. Below is the link to the video where I installed a brand new secondary m.2 nvme ssd on my Legion 5. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdGHp5uDyNqwmXU.html now, if you're talking about installing an m.2 nvme ssd on an older computer(ie one that use hard disk or sata ssd as boot drive) as a boot drive, you may need to enter the bios of the laptop and ensure your laptop is set to uefi mode(this will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer) before you can use your new nvme drive. that is pretty much the most important thing to do before installing a new m.2 ssd as boot drive on older system. you can clone your old drive etc etc, I personally just do a clean new install to make sure my new drive is not bogged down by any weird settings/driver from old drive. it's a bit difficult to go into detail here in reply, I'm sure there's many video on KZfaq that can show you how in great detail. hope this helps. thanks😊

thanks for watching. I don't remember the exact model number, but you can search for a replacement battery online, it shouldn't be too difficult. I'm not sure where you live so I can't really suggest a link. if you're not using the sata drive slot, you can even upgrade the battery capacity. hope this helps😁

hi. thanks for watching. yes it does. i actually just did a video installing a 2tb nvme ssd in the second slot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdGHp5uDyNqwmXU.html it's working great. hope this helps. thanks!

hi. yup, you can do that.

hi. unfortunately the screw from dummy disk won't do for the nvme. it needs a 3x2mm screw. some nvme do come with the screw, some seller would some time include the screw, some pc case/laptop do come with a screw pre installed and some times unfortunately you have to buy the screw separately. the main thing is to check when buying whether the screw is included or not. it'll be very frustrating to find out that you're missing one tiny screw after opening up the laptop and about the install the nvme. hope this helps.

hi, thanks for watching. as for the Legion 5 pro, the internal layout is very similar, but not exactly the same. the Legion 5 pro(mine is the 3070 one), comes with a 90wh battery, so unfortunately it don't support sata hdd/ssd(no space) . it still has an extra nvme ssd slot(ie you can max out your storage with 2 nvme SSDs). it also comes with 2 replaceable RAM slots. hope this helps. 😁

Hi. Thanks for watching! First of all, congrats on your new laptop. Don’t worry too much about it. Just unbox it and enjoy it. Cortana will pretty much guide you step by step for your initial set up. 1. You don’t necessarily need to create a system image if you don’t want to. Creating a system image when you first boot the laptop will create a backup of your laptop when it’s at its purest/cleanest state. So should your system crashed or something you got a clean slate to go back to. I personally don’t do it because most of my documents are backed up in the cloud and if anything goes wrong I would just do a clean install. But, periodically backing up your system is a good habit. 2. You can think of the BIOS as the rudimentary operating system for you computer. BIOS allows all your hardware to communicate to each other at the most basic level. Sometimes you need to go into BIOS to change certain settings such as boot sequence and the like. An average user would probably never access the BIOS in the lifetime of the laptop. Even upgrading common things like RAM or adding additional storage usually would not need going into BIOS. 3. Whether you need anti-virus or not really depends on how you use your computer. If you mostly use your computer at home and connected to trusty networks, and you don't plug in random thumb drives, and you don’t surf dodgy websites or click random links in random emails, windows defender is adequate. I unfortunately use my laptop for work, and it requires me to connect to the office network which is teeming with viruses and sometimes require data tranfer from random thumbdrives so I used an anti-virus for additional security. I used bitdefender mainly because it’s fairly cheap, performed well and it’s not a performance hog. 4. Not too familiar with empire points. Don’t think they offer it in Malaysia (where I live) 5. In the legion vantage app, you can set battery charging to conservative, in which the battery won’t be charged fully, only to about 60-80%. This in theory would reduce the charge cycle and prolong the battery lifespan. Charging and battery are pretty smart nowadays, so you can actually leave your charged plugged in and it shouldn’t cause any problems. 6. This would actually depend on what you using your laptop for. I know this answer is not very helpful. I personally like to keep my system clean and not have randow software take up the space and potentially affect performance. However, on most of the computers that I used, these are the common software that I install( not in any order nor this is an exhaustive list) - PDF reader( I usually just use the ADOBE one) - WinRAR (can unzip pretty much most format) - Chrome - VLC (plays most media) I hope this answers some of your questions. Don’t worry too much. Turn on your computer and explore it. The likelihood of you breaking it is very low, if you use it normally kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNljobyZ3N2am3k.html This video from Hardware Canucks also pretty helpful in setting up your computer for the first time. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

hi. thanks for watching. in my video, I also used RAM sticks from different brands, one is Kingston and the other is Adata. As long as the specifications on the RAM sticks match, you shouldn't have much problem. I personally would just go for the cheapest RAM sticks that meet the specifications and from a fairly reputable brand. this would vary slightly between countries. but crucial is a fairly well known brand, so as long as you think the price is reasonable(I can't say what's the best price as I found ram prices almost doubled in malaysia compared to one year ago, I don't know whether the same thing is happening where you are). hope this helps, thanks for watching😁

unfortunately no. the screw for the nvme ssd are of different size. for the ssd you'd need a 2x3mm screw. hope this helps.

hi. thanks for watching. I can't really say for sure. I was running doom at 1080p ultra and simultaneously recording the screen on obs(not via capture card). it probably was too much for the 1650ti to handle the game and encoding the recording at same time. hope this answer your question. thanks 😊

hi. my one is the 4800H with the 1650ti. models with 1660ti and above comes with 230w charger. the factory RAM is made by Kingston. I just bought the cheapest RAM that meets the spec. ha ha. tq for watching

@@masterofnone4608 yes , yes. u're welcome. I understand. mine is the R7 4800H and 1660ti variant and has 8gb ram but i don't know from which brand they are. i just want to upgrade to 16gb but same brand as well. In ohter video I saw that they got default samsung rams. so it varies depending on region/models etc. thanks for replying though.

hi. thanks for watching. it's usually enough to unplug the battery connector, no need to take out the battery. hope this helps. 😁

thanks for watching

hi. thanks for watching. theoretically it should work just fine. if you already have it in hand, why not just try and put in. then you can definitely be sure the RAM would work or not. it shouldn't cause any damage. worse that can happen is that your laptop won't boot up or will crash. hope this helps😁

hi. thanks for watching. the laptop stand is actually from lenovo. when I bought the laptop, they were doing a give away promo, I think first 500 or something people to enter will get some free stuffs. I got lucky and got the stuffs, the stand is one of it on top a water bottle, a cap, and some mouse and headphone cases. I honestly have no idea whether lenovo actually sell the stand or not. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 Thanks for the help.

hi. thanks for watching. unfortunately no, u can't use the screws from the caddy. the m.2 drives require a 3x2mm screw. hope this helps. thanks😁

@@masterofnone4608 Thank you for this!

hi. the short answer is no😁 the long answer is if you just adding a larger capacity drive to an empty available slot in your laptop/pc, it wil be recognized as additional storage. it will not automatically become the boot drive. the os will remain in the original/old drive and will be loaded from that drive. in the bios, you can actually specify the boot sequence, eg. drive c:, drive d: etc etc meaning that the computer will try to boot from all the drives on the laptop in sequence until it find the Os. hope this helps. thanks for watching😁

@@masterofnone4608 thank you for the info and the reply I appreciate it.

hi. your best best bet is to get a RAM stick with the exact specification. since you mentioned your RAM speed is 2933, I'm assuming you have the Intel version. the Intel cpu officially supports up to RAM speed of up to 2933, so getting a faster one may lead to issues. I would just get the exact same specification of RAM, it will ensure the best compatibility and to be honest for most use case you won't notice the speed difference. hope this helps. thanks

Hello

thanks for watching. been using 32gb for close to 7 months now. no issues 👌😊

hi. thanks for watching. I just made a video of installing a 2tb nvme into the second slot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdGHp5uDyNqwmXU.html it works fine for me. hope this helps. thanks:)

@@masterofnone4608 Thanks.

Is that where one can put a HDD as well? Can I do a 1 TB hdd and 1 TB ssd in there? Thanks

So the m2 refers to the ssd, Is 2 ssd better than 1ssd and 1hdd overall? Doesn't sdd have frying issues? Or does using sdd make it less hot on the laptop? Thanks

hi. thanks for watching. the term solid state drive(ssd) is a general term for a type of hard drive that don't use spinning discs. Hdd is a term used to describe traditional hard drives. When talking about SSD per se, it can be broadly divided into two types, Sata ssd and pcie nvme ssd. sata ssd comes in the shape and size of traditional hdd, ie 2.5 inch and uses the same sata power and data connector. pcie nvme ssd uses the m.2 standard, so the motherboard needs to have a built in slot that support this. the advantage of sata ssd is that you can pretty much install it in any pc/laptop that support hdd because it uses the same connectors and take up the same space. it's also relatively cheaper compared to pcie nvme ssd. pcie nvme ssd tends to have much faster read and write speeds compared to sata ssd(whether u'd notice it in real world use or not is dependent on ur use case) and they are priced slightly higher because of that. they are also much more compact and don't have separate power/data connectors. Now, with regards to the Legion 5, in total it has two m.2 slots for pcie nvme ssds and one sata connector for either a hdd/sata ssd. usually one slot is already populated with an nvme drive from the factory. out of the 2nd m.2 slot and sata, you have to choose to use either one as populating one slot will physically interfere with the other(if put nvme ssd, sata hdd/ssd won't fit and vice versa). so configurations that would be possible for the Legion 5 are: 1. 1 nvme + 1 sata hdd/ssd(2.5 inch) 2. 1 nvme + 1nvme in terms of heat, you shouldn't be too worried. nvme ssd do get warm but not the point where it can cause problem for most real world use. to be honest ssd are generally much more reliable than traditional hdd due to lack of moving components. this is especially true if you always carry your laptop around. hope this helps. thanks😊

hi. thanks for watching and sub😊 ideally, to minimise instability, and ensuring the system is working at its best potential, yes, you want to match everything, voltage, latency and speed. However, if you do run a mismatched stick, usually the system will run both sticks at the slower speed/latency. having a mismatched sticks will increase the possibility of instability, but milage may vary. so, if you're buying a new stick of ram, I suggest you try to get one that matches the one in the laptop. however, if you already have one lying around, I'd just try installing it and see how it works, it won't damage your system, rather if the ram sticks don't like each other, you probably hv instability ie crashes etc. hope this helps. thanks.

@@masterofnone4608 thanks for suggestions. Glad I haven't bought one yet. Gonna get one when my legion 5 arrives. One more thing, brands such as Lexar, silicon power and a few other names which I'm not familiar of, are these brands good enough to be trusted for my ram upgrade?

@@mehedihasanhasib4282 I can't vouch for a lot of the brands, but we also have silicone power in Malaysia. to be honest the small brands usually don't make their own RAM, but they bought from from the big guys eg Kingston/samsung etc and relabel them. so take it with a grain of salt, I would imagine the RAM won't be of poor quality or would perform below it's specifications, but buying from a well known brand would probably give you more confidence in term of post purchase support and warranty and stuff. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 thanks a lot 😊

hi bro. agreed, for gaming and most work really, 16gb is more than adequate. Personally, the only times when I notice the difference in performance between 16gb and 32gb are when I'm working on a large photoshop projects eg 20 feet banners or something that has several hundred layers. I bought my RAM sticks off shoppee, would love to share the links but the sellers that I bought it them from both had sold out(bought during the 9/9nsale). the brands of the RAM don't matter so much, more importantly to check both RAM sticks have same specifications eg voltage, speed and latency. having a mismatched ram sticks may not necessarily cause damage to your system, but may cause stability issues. buying same model from same brands would ensure the ram sticks hv same specs or if you really want to be sure, buy a ram kit of your desired capacity. hope this helps. thanks😊

hi. thanks for watching. based on Intel's specification of the 10300h, it only officially support up to 2933 RAM. ideally you want to match your RAM sticks, mainly to ensure optimum compatibility. Though as a recent linus tech tips video shows, you can get away with mixing up RAM with little issues. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLqDY9yTtpnQc30.html with regards to your situation, My recommendation is wait for the matching ram to be available, because to be fair 8gb of RAM is pretty usable still. However, if you really need 16gb NOW, for some reason, my opinion is to go with the 2666 one, as the faster RAM will match itself to the slow one and it's a speed that is supported by the cpu. I'm not recommending it, but that's what I would do. Bear in mind, this is only an opinion, nothing evidence based. I do not have the system nor the RAM stick to test this out. do it at your own risk. hope this helps. thanks.

hi. thanks for watching. unfortunately Ive already sold the laptop, so can't really do the testing. however, purely from my experience, the added ram capacity really help(and noticeable) when I'm working with large files(eg 6ft banner@ 300dpi) with multiple layers(hundreds) in photoshop or when editing videos with a lot of effects. for gaming and normal day to day usage, I can't really tell the difference. hope this helps. thanks for watching😁

hi. it used to be available on lenovo US website. it seemed to be out of stock now unfortunately. they may restock it later. I think it cost around 25 USD. hope this helps😁 thanks for watching.

hi thanks for watching. the m.2 drive that came from the factory in my legion 5 is a western digital one(not sure which model). If i remember correctly, the read and write speed are around 2800MB/s. Which is not too bad. Hope this helps. Thanks.

hi. u don't necessarily need to do anything to the pre installed drive to install the second ssd. but, if the ssd is new and never been formatted before the system may not automatically detect the new drive. However, if ure replacing the old drive, then you need to prepare to reinstall windows. u need to go into disk management to first format the drive before the PC can detect it. for laptops I suggest using and ssd with a very low profile cooler or no cooler at all. the laptop already hv a built in heat spreader. for most normal use ssd don't need an external cooler.

@@masterofnone4608 ok thank you :)

hi. i7 10875h apparently supports up to 128gb of ram. however it officially support ram speeds of up to 2933. so upgrading to 32gb capacity should be viable, but need to make sure to use the RAM with supported speed. if you adding on a stick to existing one, make sure the RAM specifications match. as for the ssd, it should work just fine for both intel/amd. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 thanks will do some more searching today!! Good luck with the Chanel

@@yovannipille6978 thanks😊

hi. it's best practice to disconnect the battery before doing any upgrade to minimise the risk of shorting things out. I definitely not demonstrating the absolutely correct way of doing things. I'm just lazy, sorry. so do as I say, not what I do. with that in mind, in this laptop replacing the ram and storage is relatively easy, so the risk of you causing a short is very low as everything is fairly easily accessible. as I mentioned in previous comments, I have yet had any problems by not disconnecting the battery while doing simple upgrades(not a valid excuse) . but of course, be reasonable ie don't go poking about the pins/trace with your screw driver. with regards to the battery, I don't think you should be too worried about disconnecting it. Lenovo in its manual for this laptop even highly recommends disconnecting the battery before doing any upgrade, so the likelihood of your laptop not turning if you connect and disconnect the battery is pretty small. again, common sense, power down the system before disconnecting the battery, don't pull on the battery cable to remove it(there's a clip at the connector), don't poke the battery with sharp objects and don't disconnect the battery when windows is updating. you should be fine. hope this helps😊

Wow. Thanks for the time to reply! And also the long reply. I just bought an anti-static wrist strap. I am also upgrading just the ssd and ram and nothing more. And yeah maybe I'll do remove it. I'm just also worrying because some people here in youtube have difficulties unplugging it. Thanks again!

hi. thanks for watching. if your laptop have 1 upgradable sodimm slot and have an 8gb soldered ram, any stick added to the slot will add capacity of your ram. eg if you add an 8gb stick, total ram will be 16gb, if you add a 16gb stick, total ram will be 24gb. hope this helps. 😁

@@masterofnone4608 Thanks man, Also do i need to buy the laptop first then check the ram with CPU-Z and get a similar one with same speed and latency or there is a standard ram speed and latency for the Legion 5 Ryzen Edition? Is it standard at DDR4 3200mhz and CL20?

hi. if you really want to be absolutely sure of the brand and specifications of the ram, yeah by all means wait for the laptop to arrive. the thing about manufacturers is that they some times used different brands/slight spec changes depending on availability from suppliers. however these would be up to their minimum standard specifications. it's usually not something the average user would notice in day to day use. personally I would wait, because there's no real rush. but if you happen to find a really good deal that's time sensitive, as long as the speed and timings match just buy the extra ram😉 hope this helps.

hi. thanks for watching. sure, the Legion 5 have 2 ram slots. just make sure you select the configuration with a single stick of 8gb of ram, so you can just add another matching stick later, cause if I'm not mistaken they also sell models with 4+4 ram configuration(which already running in dual channel) . if you bought this one then if you planning to upgrade you have to discard one stick if you're ok with 12gb or discard both if you want 16gb or higher. hope this helps. thanks😁

hi thanks for watching. I really don't inspire confidence do I. ha ha. no, seriously taking off the back panel really is the most difficult part. Once you got if off everything else is pretty straight forward. As for tips, have some decent plastic pry tools, be patient and take your time. don't rush. you'll be fine. hope this helps.

If you want to play a lot of newer games, I'd suggest you get one with a better gpu. hope this helps😁

@@masterofnone4608 Thanks for sharing for experience man

I used a multi bit screw driver(a cheap one, mind you), so it save some time to look for the right sized bit. the screws on the plate requires a bit of force first time unscrewing it. hope it doesn't put you off upgrading completely😉

@@masterofnone4608 Not at all. These laptop cases a all...peculiar.

hi. I would think you'd probably notice more performance gain by adding another stick of RAM so that the system runs in dual channel rather than adding a ram stick with better latency. if you plan to add another stick of ram, ideally the speed and latency of the ram sticks should match. adding a lower latency ram stick to your system may not be beneficial as it won't run as fast as it should(limited by the slower ram) and may cause instability. unfortunately Goodram is not a brand that's available in Malaysia and I wouldn't be able to tell you in terms of compatibility. hope this helps.

I was thinking about 2 solutions. First, adding extra SODIMM RAM to exactly match the original 3200Mhz CL22. Second, to add two new RAMs with less latency. Thank you for your support.

hi. thanks for watching. the Legion 5 storage can be upgraded in 2 ways. you can either add an extra nvme ssd, or you can add a sata ssd/hdd. however you can only choose one or the other, as installing one would block the other. the Legion 5 comes with the sata connector installed, just need to remove the dummy drive and install the drive in the provided bracket(Lenovo also include the screws for sata ssd/hdd). and yeah, sata ssd and hdd shares the same connector. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 you mean that i can add double ssd , right?

@@Ahmedzeddan yes. you can have a maximum of 2 ssds in the Legion 5. but they can only be either a combination of 2 nvme ssds or 1 nvme ssd and 1 sata ssd. hoep this helps😁

for this laptop? maybe, eventually:)

hi. did you mean the laptop stand? I don't sell it. I got it for free from lenovo Malaysia. they did a give away promo when I bought the laptop, first few hundred people to enter will get some lenovo stuffs eg water bottle, headphone case etc etc. the stand was part of it. hope that helps. 😊

removing the battery before performing any upgrade is definitely good practice. it will ensure that no possibility of power running through components and thereby reducing risk of causing short circuit and damaging the laptop. I didn't do it because I'm just lazy, and removing the battery clip is way more work than just removing the RAM. If you really want to minimize the risk of damage, yes do remove the battery, I personally never had issues upgrading a laptop without removing the battery but that's not necessarily the right/recommended way of doing things. Take the good things from the video and do ignore the bad/incorrect things. hope this helps. thanks.

hi. On lenovo official Malaysian website, you can configure this laptop with an Rtx 2060, but you have to choose the model with the 80wh battery and 230w charger. As far as I know, rtx 2060 is the only rtx gpu available for the Legion 5, at least ones with AMD cpus. But you have to check with your local Lenovo website/rep regarding what's available to you locally. hope this help.

@@masterofnone4608 thanks for your time, the main idea was if i could upgrade it by myself, but now i know that i can only upgrade ram and storage. Subscribed!

hi. the way lenovo set it up, if you plan to add more storage, you have to choose either adding a sata ssd or an nvme ssd. unfortunately can't have both as either will block the other one from being installed. hope this helps.

hi. thanks for watching. so far my laptop works fine. no issues at all. the extra ram is most noticeable (for me anyways) especially when I'm working on large photoshop projects with loads of layers.for gaming, not so much. yup, you can definitely do that, though I'm sure there'll be people who are adamant telling you that you should only increase capacity in capacities of 8, 16, 32, 64 etc etc. to be honest the main thing is that the speed of the ram should match, eg ddr4 2933, ddr4 3200. if you were to install a slower or faster stick, the overall ram speed will follow the slower stick and may potentially run into stability issues. no, it will not damage your laptop, but may potentially cause it to crash a bit more. to be honest, in most real world use you'd probably notice more gain from the increased ram capacity. I'm from Malaysia😊 somewhere in South East Asia.

@@masterofnone4608 Thank you for your reply. I decided to buy a 32 GB kit (2 x 16), to avoid the issues you mention. Take care :)

hi. the laptop only supports ddr4. unfortunately ddr3 is a no go. don't think it would fit physically either. hope this helps. thanks for watching😁

hi. yeah, you should be able to. thanks for watching😊

@@masterofnone4608 would I need to backup windows?

@@ranenjaysalikram9146 that would depends. I mean having a backup is always a good idea. However, if your hdd functions as a secondary storage, and you don't hv windows installed on it, then backing up windows is less of a concern. However, if your hdd is your boot drive(ie you hv windows installed on it) then backing up windows would be important. I personally would do a clean install on new boot drive rather than clone an old drive. so I would just backup my important data rather than windows per se. However, people do things differently and there's no clear right or wrong way to do things😊 hope this helps. thanks for watching.

hi. I don't quite understand what u mean by fit. if you meant physical size, just make sure you buy sodimm(small outline dual in line memory module) which is the standard size for laptop RAM modules, NOT dimm modules, which are meant for desktops. if you meant the specifications, I just try to match the specs that Lenovo use, ie DDR4 with 3200 speeds. you may get it to work with slightly slower or faster RAM, but to minimise chance of incompatibility, I'd just try to match the factory modules spec. Brands don't matter as much, the spec matters more. Adata may not be available in your country or marketed under different name, but pretty much any brands should be ok as long as the spec match. hope this helps.

@@masterofnone4608 yes i meant the physical size of the ram thank you so much !!

hi. thanks for watching. the brand of the drive don't really matters as long as it comply with the m.2 standard and physically can fit in there😊 I've installed a 2TB nvme drive in the second slot and it works just fine.

hi. according to Intel's website, the i7 10850H should support up to 128gb of RAM albeit at a slower speed, 2933 as opposed to 3200 on ryzen. the issue is whether lenovo's motherboard supports it or not. based on my experience with my laptop, I would imagine there is no reason why it should not support more than 16gb. but the only way to be completely sure is to actually install more RAM and see whether it work or not. sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for the reply, what about the 10750H?

@@jibinjoseph5133 sorry. it was my typo. I meant to type 10750h, ha ha. fat fingers problem😅

Have you finally tried 32/64Gb on Legion 5i with it 10750H?

@@emilianoescobar1015 unfortunately I don't have access to Legion 5i to try. sorry 🙏

hi. thanks for watching. if you are adding a stick of RAM, basically you need to match the spec to the existing one to ensure optimum compatibility. For example, the Legion 5 15(amd cpu) is equipped with ddr4 3200 ram, so you need to buy a ddr4 3200 ram stick. while Legion 5(intel cpu) comes pre installed with ddr4 2933 RAM, so you need to get a ddr4 2933 ram stick. No doubt slightly mismatched RAM can work, I think a recent video from LTT does demonstrate that, but to ensure optimum compatibility and performance you really need to match the RAM sticks. Hope this helps. thanks😊

@@masterofnone4608 this helps a lot Thanks!

hi. there should be no big issue. your RAM capacity will be 20gb. for normal day to day use, you probably won't notice any performance issue (you probably notice the performance gain from the extra ram😁 more than anything else) hope this helps. thanks for watching.

@@masterofnone4608 Thank you ❤️ I thought both ram should be the same GB to be able to function

@@karlndr for absolutely optimal performance, yes the ram sticks should be matched in everyway. for normal day to day use, you probably notice the performance increase from the increased capacity itself rather than some slow downs due to slight mismatched ram sticks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLqDY9yTtpnQc30.html this video from LTT demonstrate that mixing and matching ram sticks is not all that bad😁 hope this helps.

sorry about that😅🙏🙏 thanks for watching

hi. thanks for watching. the laptop stand is actually from lenovo. when I bought the laptop, they were doing a give away promo, I think first 500 or something people to enter will get some free stuffs. I got lucky and got the stuffs, the stand is one of it on top a water bottle, a cap, and some mouse and headphone cases. quick Google search shows that lenovo sell the stand on their website, not sure whether it's available globally or not. www.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories-and-monitors/legion-merchandise/accessories/LEGION-ACC-Red-Pimiento-RP02-006-00/p/4ZY0Z72164 hope this helps😊

as far as I can tell, the legion 5i is essentially the same laptop. just that it runs an intel cpu.

hi. simple reason really, at the time 16GB ddr4 3200 sodimm wasn't readily available in Malaysia, had to buy them off 2 different sellers and they had 1 stick each😅 and of course being the cheapskate that I am, I bought for the cheapest sticks that's up to spec. hope this helps, thanks for watching😁

@@masterofnone4608 Oh yeah. I remember when I upgraded mine (lenovo y520), I've asked a lot of stores. Only one store carry the same specs, the same brand. And they only have one. That was like 5 yrs ago. I imagine it being harder to get parts nowadays.

hi. the 4600h should be able to support up to 64gb of RAM as per the 4800h, and 1TB NVME ssd should also be supported as well. hope this helps.

But single nvme can support 1tb ssd

@@tilakmagodia5070 hi. you can have two 1TB NVME ssds installed in the laptop. ✌️

One last thing about battery legion 5 support 80 whr i guess bcuz jarrod itech video he replaced battery too so it good to upgrade battery from 54whr to 70whr

hi. thanks for watching. as long as the specifications match. ram sticks from from different manufacturers should be fine. hope this helps 😊

@@masterofnone4608 yes thanks

Hi. I'm assuming you're asking where the processor is because you want to change the thermal paste. At 3:08, the processor is underneath the right side contact plate. Remove the 6 screws holding the cooling solution in place and then you can access the processor. support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht510415-removal-and-replacement-videos-legion-5-81y6-82au-82b5-82b1-81yb-82b3-82gn-82gq-legion-5p-82aw-82ay this link points towards Lenovo's video guide to remove the heatsink Hope this helps. Thanks

hi. thanks for watching. originally specced the laptop with 16GB of ram(2x8). hope this helps.

there definitely is some stutter/lag. I think it's due to me recording on the laptop using OBS while playing the game instead of using a capture card and recording it on another computer. I didn't notice the stutter in game(may just be cause I'm not sensitive to it). thanks for watching😊

hi. sorry to hear that. hv you tried renstalling the old ram stick(s). does the black screen still occurs? if your computer is fine with the old ram, it's probably a good idea to reseat the new ram making extra sure it is properly installed. if you hv more than 1 stick of ram, try one stick at a time. for all we know it may be a defective stick. hope this helps. thanks for watching.

@@masterofnone4608 I didn't touched the old RAM, just put crucial one in the other slot, it wasn't booting up, then I removed crucial one and laptop started.

@@masterofnone4608 I tried installing the new ram 2 times. didn't worked both times, got black screen.

@@ZeroLight_YT did you try with just the new ram stick? system boot up? . cause if it still black screen even on its own, you may have a defective ram stick. but if on it's own system boot up, maybe the old and new ram is not compatible with each other.

@@masterofnone4608 Lol I am too scared to remove original ram of the laptop, so I didn't tried with only crucial ram stick.

hi. thanks for watching. Upgrading the RAM yourself would be cheaper than what lenovo offers, but if you're worried about damaging the laptop, then you need to consider how much you are really saving by buying your own RAM. if it's just by a small amount, then I guess you are paying extra for peace of mind and a guaranteed compatibility, which is something that's difficult to put a value on😁 However, if the difference is quite significant or you want to try and do the upgrade yourself, the Legion 5 is one of the most user upgradable friendly laptop I ever worked with. As long as you're reasonably sensible, the risk of damage is quite minimal. Lenovo even have a detailed manual on how to disassemble the laptop. Just Google it. The most challenging aspect really is getting the back panel off. once you got it off, you got easy access to the RAM, drives, WiFi card and battery. the main thing is to take your time and be patient. youtube videos always make it look easy but don't feel discouraged if you needs a bit more time. hope this helps😊 Thanks.

@@masterofnone4608 Hello, my ram stick should arrive tomorrow, but I’m quite worried that I would damage my laptop. Anything I should worry about before opening the laptop?

@@iihamed711 I find that the worse part is actually taking off the back of the case. ha ha. especially if this is your first time. just take your time and be gentle. try not to break any clips. it won't affect performance of your laptop, but it may cause the back panel to be as not flushed when reassembling. as for the replacing the ram itself, make sure you seat the ram properly and you should be ok. of course the usual safety things apply ie clean, dry hands etc etc. 😅 hope this helps. thanks for watching

@@masterofnone4608 Thanks

@@masterofnone4608 just wanted to update you on the ram upgrade situation. i successfully installed the new ram slot and it works just fine. however, i managed to break one of the clips in process :), but other than that, nothing really.

hi. unfortunately I have a bad habit of never really charging my new laptop(or any other device, really) fully when I first got them. basically out of the box and just use it like how I would normally use a laptop. so far haven't encountered any issues. hope this helps. thanks

hi. yeah. I was kinda anxious too when upgrading to 32gb as there was no mention anywhere that it is supported or not. however, I can tell you that my system has been working fine since the upgrade(about 5 months ago) with no issues😁 just make sure the RAM is of the same specifications.

@@masterofnone4608 thanks you very much

the manual suggest ph1 or ph0. I just see which one fits. ha ha. hope this helps.

hi bro. thanks for watching. if you look up the specs for the renoir cpus, they support up to 64gb of ddr4 3200. lenovo on the other hand never clearly states the max ram capacity the Legion 5 support(at least in the documentations that I found) but they only offer configurations of up to 16gb on their website. I installed 32gb in mine and seems to be working just fine. So, I can certainly vouch for 32gb, as for 64gb I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, but I just don't have 2x32gb sticks lying around to try. hope this helps. thanks😊

@@masterofnone4608 Ahh, thank you for the clarification. I was puzzled because I feel 16GB is low especially for Windows 10.

@@charlesm.1638 nah. 16GB is overkill for casual users but it is a sweet spot for gamers (you can honestly go by with 4GB but personally I feel like 8GB should be the new minimum). Can confirm that 64GB of RAM works because that's what I have in mine.

@@mediocritycentral Thank you, I mostly go with 32GB just to give breathing room. I asked because I always have multiple applications open especially SQL which eats up RAM.

@@charlesm.1638 oh that's cool. 32GB should work nicely with ur usage. I went with 64GB because I use Premiere Pro and After Effects heavily and occasionally use CAD.

hi. thanks for watching bro. yup, you can upgrade capacity. you can also install another ssd in there (assuming you don't already have a hard disk already plugged in😁)

Does lenovo legion 5 batarry finsih in less time while doing normal works and sometime gaming

in my experience, for normal work ie presentations, office works, the battery usually last for around 3-4 hours, however if I was doing video editing or gaming the battery would drain out by an hour or so. if you planning to do some intensive work, you have to plug it in I'm afraid. but this is based on my laptop which has the 60wh battery, and I also turned hybrid mode off and brightness always around 75%. so your milage may vary.

unfortunately I don't speak Spanish. sorry🙏
