Jarrod, I think I figured out the heating on the cooling pad. The back of a cooling pad is the most open and with all the hot air moving out the back of the legion 5 it's just pulling in heated air. I found with my cooling pad if I lift the front a little off the ground, maybe a centimeter, then it improves cooling but I also have the LOQ 15IRH8 4060 which has side and back venting.

What I'm not liking about Lenovo is that their design for the 5i Pro is not really improving by that much each year. Sure, the hardware changes, but if you look to a 2021 5 pro, and then the ones from the 3 years, it really just changes internally aside from the logo on the lid. Like, keyboard layout is the same, the 16:10 aspect ratio 2k screen has been the same or similar enough, the backlight is the same with the 4 zones. Considering the fact a 3070ti is extremely similar to a 4070, and the 2022 laptop can be found for like half the price if not less, I don't really see the reason to upgrade from an older model unless you really need the CPU upgrade

First impression after a few minutes looking at it: i really like it. It doesn't scream gamer kiddy but isn't overly stealthy with those bad black finishes like razer uses, that are more smudge than black afte rhandling it. It's also nice that they put two of the major connectors in the back. HDMI and Charger cables are a pain and it's great not having them in the mouse zones. The two things i'd point out as "ehh" is the location of the ports, being all bunched towards the user and the RJ45 not being in the rear.

Hi Jarrod, i subscribe you for a quite very long time, your videos helped me choose my dream laptop that i am in love with for 2 years now. Small suggestion - could you even shortly, show how laptop is behaving when charging through USBC? I have found out that it differs quite a lot between laptops, for examply my laptop (Legion 16ITH6H) charges through PD with 100W powerbank only when battery is above 80%, when plugged to wall USB-C 140W charger i can play some games, GPU uses lower wattage but in some games charging is being disabled under heavy load, to not overheat some USB-C charging elements i guess? I am suggesting that because no one does as good laptop reviews as you, and no one is going into details of USB-C charging in specific models, short info about that would be amazing. USB-C charging is relevant to some group of people like me, when i take my laptop for short trip and dont want to take big and heavy 300W charger. What i am using and reccomend: 140W Baseus wall charger 100W Baseus Blade powerbank Cheers!

Would be an instant buy if Lenovo would finally allow (real) custom fan control. The forums are full of requests and complaints but Lenovo simply does not care. Look at 10:09, where temperatures on Balance are just ice cold. The fans could spin much quieter but Lenovo let them get up to 48 db which is too loud to play in the living room or with external speakers. I don't want to be forced to wear headphones when temperatures are so low that the fans could be much quieter. In custom mode you can not fix it, because Lenovo prevents you from lowering the fan sliders -_- Many other vendors like Asus, HP, XMG or their Linux subbrand Tuxedo all allow real fan control which is mandatory to optimize performance and fan noise.

It started thermal throttling badly even after cleaning it and eventually it burnt out and wouldn't turn on. I got a new laptop and checked the old ssd, it logged almost 2 years of on time before death.

Try experimenting with a frame rate limit in the NVidia drivers while using balanced mode. That way during less demanding parts of the game it can downclock and reduce the fan, so it stays quieter and heat doesn’t build up like when maxing it out.

>Missed opportunity to introduce Core Ultra 7 to a mainstream laptop >Uses overkill HX processor instead with dinky 4070, CPU advantage in gaming disappears from 1440p upwards to the point that a 5 Slim 4070 would likely match it based on the TUF A15 4070 results >Worse port layout than Slim model despite the extra volume The Legion Normal/Slim/Pro fragmentation has been a mess.

8 GB of Vram and 1440p.. my 3070Ti was completely worthless after 2 years! So I sold my laptop, I will boycott 1440p on laptops, 1080p is plenty with screens this small. I ended up with a 25" 1080p240 monitor but I later thought why not just get a desktop at this point..🤣 That project ended up north of €2000 with a 26L matx case, Ryzen 7600 and 4080S connected to my OLED TV. Edit: also sold the monitor.

Hey Jarrod, How does it compare to Legion Pro 5 and the 7i?
@jeuno8803 ай бұрын
Knowing Legion lineup I assume the 140w charging through Type-C is only with Lenovo 140w GaN charger , and only 100w if using non Lenovo GaN charger. This kinda info is important to mention if true, so unsavvy people won't be misleaded

So cooling pad won't work on this one? Is it the same with slim? That is kinda big deal breaker, I feel like it will be throttling sonner or later

A question about the €200 difference. I will now take the MSI laptop Raider Ge78 HX and now there is a question because // 1. -Rtx 4090 - i9-13980HX 32gb RAM is (3100€) 200€ cheaper than. 2- RTx 4080 -i9-14900HX 64gb RAM And I'm wondering if it's better to pay 200€ and have 64gb of RAM and a newer processor but with rtx 4080. or maybe you have other options up to €3,300
@stephaniesmith133 ай бұрын
it would be better if lenovo has a feature called bypass mode where instead of powering the laptop through the battery, the laptop will power directly onto your electricity in your home as long as you plug your charger in your laptop. this feature is already available in android phones and hoping this feature will expand to laptops

I own the 2021 model. And i have a love / hate relationship with it. In one hand the laptop is pretty powerful and very well cooled... But in other hand it has terrible driver issues. Constantly struggling to run online games like League of legends. When it should be getting 300+ fps it cant even sustain stable 144fps and drops below 90s...

Are you going to test the new 15.3" 16:10 laptops from XMG/Tongfang? They are quite an interesting chassis promising full power hardware in a package somewhere between compact 14" and standard 16" gaming laptops.

Tbh I hate Lenovos naming system, if it even has a system. Trying to figure out what year, type and generation each laptop is when shopping for them is near impossible. Most stores don't include relevant info on their websites, and the naming scheme is utterly useless in this regard. This is an exceptional review - thank you.
@JarrodsTechАй бұрын
Yeah. It got to be a bit of a mess. We typically look out for CPU and GPU generations as a quick way to determine release year. It gets trickier when they use previous year hardware though.

Hi @JarrodsTech ! Wonderful video as always. Does it matter choosing i9 over i7 for gaming performance ? My assumption is if cpu draws more tgp from total it leaves less window for gpu tgp. Is this correct ? Please let me know

What should I get? This or the pro? The pro seems to have the older coldfront 3.0 cooling solution but is advertised as having a better cooling. I am not sure how much better the hyperchamber is and I dont understand why the pro version of the same laptop doesnt use it. Thermals is a big issue for me because I live in a very warm country.
