Im considering getting the i7-13700hx rtx 4060 16” 240Hz 500nits with 100% srgb and 16gb ram 512gb ssd. This was a great review of the regular gaming i would put the laptop in and I have been impressed with the really good thermals on the cpu/gpu going up to only around 70°c which is crazy good especially for the cpu. Im also impressed by the fact that it is a full powered 4060 140W which is amazing performance! All for $1,200

Thanks, thinking of getting the 5i (gen 9) for gaming, costs about £1300 here in the UK and seems to me to be the best option I have for gaming at that price (wouldn't want to spend much more). I've seen lots of amazing reviews for the 5i pro and the the slim but not really much for the standard 5i, I'm guessing it's still a good choice though, or is there a reason why most people seem to go for the other models?

thanks for the review! id also like to buy the exact model that you have but with a 240hz display instead, but can this laptop handle crucial 5600mhz ram? and my second question is: can i use the type c port at the back to charge the laptop using a smaller 100w charger? Because i move a lot during the day and lugging around that massive power brick isn't really appealing to me
@hartomethod 2 ай бұрын
I’d confirm that it’s DDR5 ram (check online to see if it works with the cpu). You can use the Usbc charging port but it just won’t give you the same power output when gaming compared to normal 300W power adapter

Hey man nice review. I was looking into a 1800 € (here in Italy kind of a good deal) legion pro 5i gen 8 (i7 3700hx; Rtx 4070 8gb; 32gb RAM; 1tb Storage). I don't really need a gaming laptop, but I do need their performance to run Autodesk 3d engineering apps and some programming. However, I would like to have your perspective on the fan noise when doing easy and daily stuff (Word, ...). At the end of the day, having to write a lot I would like a powerful machine but not so noisy. Thanks in advance for the attention, have a good day 😉

I bought the same laptop except with 32G RAM and 1TB SSD. I highly suggest you don't set the Thermal Mode in the Lenovo Vantage settings to Performance. Doing so will cause your cpu and gpu to run max while gaming, even if the game doesn't require it. I was getting very high temps on both the cpu 95C and gpu 75C. The fans were running at high speed for most of the time I was gaming. I decided to try some changes as I was very concerned with the constant high temps. So I changed my settings to Custom and, most importantly, ticked the Legion AI option. My cpu and gpu are now both running about 15-20C cooler with way less fan noise BUT most surprisingly there was no fps loss in my games. I just post this as a suggestion to anyone with this laptop to at least give these settings a go.

@hartomethod 3 ай бұрын
