I’ve just placed my order for this 4080 model as Lenovo seem to have really nailed the performance and cooling, benchmarks show it even beats out some 4090 units from other high end manufacturers because the 4090 in those chassis is having to thermal throttle so much. The 4080 seems to be the sweet spot this generation for price to performance ratio. Also by removing non-crucial “extras” like fingerprint reader, windows hello, some metal, they’ve kept prices down from the insane prices we’re currently seeing and they’ve passed this saving on to the consumer and I managed to get this unit direct from Lenovo for £1,000 less than the equivalent spec’d unit (gpu, cpu, ram, ssd) from Razer or Asus for example.

Just got mine, having a lot of fun with this one as my first 1k+ laptop

This is so damn beautiful! I love it.

This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i looks so sleek! 🔥🔥I'm easily influenced

Waiting for mine to arrive. Soo excited.

Great review, thanks!!

I would never swap for any other gaming laptop. I had the lenovo legion 5 pro for 2 years and this is the next upgrade. Great stuff !

super insightful! might buy one myself

I bought exactly the same model from Curry's 3 days ago and so far I like it so much. If you overclock it, you can get 8 - 10% more performance with a time spy score of 20.7k.

Laptops are benefit for me as a foreign worker in other country, convenient for me if i moving out or bringing back home country. Love the review i consider to buy it during black friday❤

If you live in the states and you're still looking for this laptop, I just bought the 4080 version on Amazon for $2,400, the seller is Antonline specifically. I should be getting mine tomorrow.

for the 4080rtx model theyve said they have included a vapor chamber to keep it cool, I have 2 questions @thetechchap , Does it run quietly comparatively and does it run cooler comparatively?

Went and ordered one of these from Currys last night. Due over the weekend. I'm excited!

This looks awesome, I just bought the Legion 7 amd advantage about a couple of weeks ago, its my first gaming laptop ever. I have always been a PlayStation girl and will definitely look at the intel version of legion for a possible future upgrade from my current gaming laptop.

Question: which would you prefer. Lenovo Legion 7i gen 8 or Asus roger strix g17

140W type-C charging! You can't just gloss over that; it's a long-awaited generational leap. This must be compliant with the new USB PD 3.1 spec, meaning you'll need a charger that puts out 28V. With 140W I would like to see full power limit to the CPU and GPU (allowing battery drain), though this means design decisions like maybe a user-facing option to toggle and ensuring power circuitry can handle it. Even the beefiest gaming laptops don't usually use much more than 200W average in games. The most exciting part would be the option to swap the massive power brick for a smaller charger, without ever looking back. The question is what Lenovo decided to do with the CPU and GPU power limits. And to Lenovo and Microsoft, well, it's nice you've sponsored Mr. Chap but no one cares about your shoehorned "AI" features or streaming apps.

that 7945hx + 4080 looks very tempting

waiting for lenovo legion pro 5 gen 8 review!! 🔥🔥

Thanks for the video. Can you explain how you opened the back side? I bought a WD 4TB Black to change the SSD, but had no chance to get the bottom side to open.

Waiting for mine for Gaming and Game design productivity!

What a promotion 👌 all good things to talk about

I'm looking at this laptop for sure

I have a Legion Pro 5i 16 in my basket on Lenovo atm with i5 13500 (looks to be on par with 12th gen i7) and RTX 4060 with the 500nits 240Hz display for UNDER £1500. Feels like a bargain for a 2023 model. Just waiting for some reviews of the lower spec before I pull the trigger. Refreshing my youtube search every day !

Not sure if I missed it in the video, but is the camera 1080p on this laptop and does it have advanced Optimus? I don't like restarting laptops to switch to igpu for extended battery life.

Beautiful laptop. Looks so classy and high end. Would love one of these. 😍

Ordered the same laptop for 2700$ from Lenovo it’s currently on sale with discounts as well !!

Great video...im by no means a tec junkie and have little knowledge. Im looking to upgrade from my XPS 15 9560 to possibly the Legion Pro 7i ..........whats the difference between the Intel and AMD variants of what I guess is exactly the same laptop? I just don't want to see thermal throttling, wich is what causes me to want to throw my XPS out the window. Any input from all you enthusiasts will be appreciated!

Can you expand storage (replace existing 2280 slot and add to a second one)? Also is the RAM upgradable? Users would save a couple hundred dollars by going with the base model (16GB DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD). These are the questions a consumer should be asking up and above performance and thermals. Also, what TDP is the RTX 40 series cards running at?

Getting the 2022 model.. I just have to.. I feel it's a great deal.. At least for another 5+ years.. My yoga 730 has served me well... I only wished this came with a touch screen too.

You can also get it with a RTX 4070 instead of 4080/90 which cuts the price from 3400ish to 2600ish, which is crazy. Apparently the cooling system is also a bit different with that version, though.

I'm still jamming an Asus Rog G752 from like 2015, GTX970m with the blistering i7-4910 haha... I'm finally going to upgrade just because I'm digging the 40 series and my back is getting old... The damn thing is HEAVY!!!! I've traveled all over the world with it. The laptop plus the PSU (that's literally the size of a brick!) are back breakers. Not to mention it took me forever just to find a bag the behemoth would fit in. I still think I get decent performance out of it, but I also think I've been lying to myself for a long time about it haha I'm a tech so I keep it tip-top, but there's only so much you can do. I'm pretty sold on this Lenovo. It'll last me 15 years at least!

0:20. You're telling me, that nvidia have crammed a proper desktop rtx 4090 with all its 16k cuda cores and 24gb of vram into this laptop and has ''slightly lower clocks''? Dude. You're a liar. Outright lying at this point. Its just a downclocked rtx 4080. That too with slower vram. This is completely different to pascal and turing where the xx80 class at full power performed close to desktops. Go do some research before severely misleading people. Unless you're just a marketing guy pretending to make reviews.

I'm contemplating getting the Legion Pro 7i 4070

You should get a Quest 2 and do some PCVR testing tbh...

when typing do you feel that the keyboard flex is too much or is it negligible? it seems like there's quite some flex on those

This looks really awesome. Only Question now is, is the Screen 300nit or 500nit version like on the Asus Strix 16 and 18 ?

Got this like month ago and no regrets 🔥

hi, what camera are you using for this recording?

watching this on my lenovo 7i 3080ti😁

Nice information dear friend ❤️ Big fen from India 🙏

Can you take a look at the asus strix scar 16 there’s almost perfect variant i7 13650HX 4060 16gb 512GB for $1400 but its only FHD 165hz no QHD 240hz so far the display is the only thing keeping me form getting it I would like to pay a bit more for a qhd cuz the specs is absolutely perfection

Last desktop I bought was a HP Pavillion around 2008 which I still use for remote work. Have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 AMD chipset laptop and am looking to upgrade soon. Never buying another desktop, love being able to put laptop on a small folding table and playing anywhere. Hooked to my Sony Bravia 43" 4K TV works great. I'm only wanting to pay around $700.00 so yeah integrated graphics, maybe AMD.

Bro pls review cloud gaming services( on mac also)

Mine comes in tommorow I can't wait im Trina go to sleep early as I have to sign for it

Beautiful laptop

I knew this was an ad the second you started. Pishhhhh

Just secured this 4090 model brand new for $3394.52 CAD. Arrives in 4 weeks.

amazing this laptop is great

QUESTION: I want to buy this Laptop and connect an external Monitor with 165hz. Does the HDMI Port support this? Its WQHD. I prevoiusly had a Legion 5 pro with an 3070 and it doesnt work to manage it with more than 60hz.

If possible pls review the ASUS tuf A16 . The last tuf laptop u reviewed was a long time ago

Anything about the noise levels from the fans?

I found a solid price on this thing for $3k Canadian (then I get a corporate discount), for the 4070 model, which I'm thinking of going for. The design is exactly what I want. Display is about the same quality as the razer 4070 16" model I was looking at, but $1k+ less (canadian) and it's the same all metal design concept as Razer. Plus from what I gather, the thermals may be a bit better. Just curious, how's the audio quality on this one?

do these laptops still have a bendy screen? oh and do you know if these things have a bios whitelist?

This is the best gaming laptop I've seen in my entire life.

I'm getting the 4090 version, probably next week, which is now on sale for right under 3k, I've already had a peak at the '24 models, and I'm not impressed, I think this is the perfect time to snag one of these before Lenovo pulls them for this years model, especially considering the price. Honestly, I can't wait to go back to Lenovo, the last Lenovo I had was the best laptop I've ever had. I strayed away a couple of years ago, and went with an HP Omen, bad mistake, it's terribly underpowered, and it's already been sent off for repairs twice, and now one speaker is going out, and the HDMI port is also shot.

watching from tanzania🇹🇿🇹🇿

what do you think of this configuration for this laptop? legion pro 5 2023 - ryzen 9 7945HX - RTX4070 - 1TB - 32GB - screen 240 hertz 500 nits - for the price of 1896.56 US Dollar

When you say massive jump in performance could you provide some reference numbers to previous gen (30), otherwise it is unclear if it 10, 20 or 30% improvement

70-75% aRGB and DCI-P3 is not good enough for any serious color grading work. In fact, this 240 Hz panel might actually be worse than the 165 Hz one from last year.

Nice video ! But these are absurd prices tbh .

What are the CPU & GPU temperatures under stress loads?

I'm disappointed that Lenovo completely ignores white color variants. White is in my opinion more premium color than black. Would be sick to see this in white 🤍.

"jesse we need to cook our cpu"

Question: 2TB max storage ? So if i want to add a 4TB SSD to it, I can't ?

No mention of temps. Possible throttling etc? 😮

we need a review of these laptops after long term use

Does the RGB stay on with lid closed n connected to a monitor with show only on 2 ? ROG can't do that yet

Hello, I have just bought the laptop you discussed and I have a question. Do you know anything about thermal insulation? That is, is there paste or maybe liquid metal implemented on the graphics card and processor? Regards.

When does it release in US!?

I would love to see lenovo legion pro7 amd cpu and rtx 4070 gpu option

Lenovo Legion is legit the only S-Tier PC Gaming Brand. Amazing stuff!

I just ordered the 4070 legion 7i pro. 32gb ram 1tbssd. I hope Im not gonna be disappointed

All I'm going to say is nice ad. You should work for Lenovo's marketing team.

It is hard to take the review at face value when you start off saying that the laptop 4090 is a slightly lower power version of the desktop card....

How long is the charge cable?

How about the battery life? Thanks

So major difference between 5 pro and 7 pro is minor hardware changes ? Is the 7seriew worth the extta money?

Bought it and will get it tomorrow, it better be good 😊

Thank u for review. Please could you tell how many bit colour depth is hdmi in 4K@120Hz? Is it 8, 10 or 12 bit colour depth in 4K@120Hz?

Gotta get rid one of my kidneys

I'm waiting for a comparison of Legion Slim 7 and Legion 7 pro 2023

im thinking about upgrading from the ryzen 7/3070 variant of this to the 2023 asus tuff a17 ryzen 9/ 4070 variant

My dell g7 laptop with a 1060 has served me well until now and I think this will be its replacement when mine finally gives out

Just bought a Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 with RTX 4080 and 32GB RAM for a insane black friday deal of $1804. Hope this laptop and price lives up to it!

Question: What do people think is better from a design perspective, a number pad on the laptop or speakers flanking the sides of the keyboard? I love the symmetry that my Razer blade has with the speakers even though I never use the built-in speakers.

As a hardcore legion fanboy for the past few years, I find it challenging to desire this year's lineup. No improvement whatsoever to the panel, a step backward in the design and everything else just oozes mediocrity. With what they offer in 2022, I thought they would head in the direction of razer with elegant and minimalistic design but no, we can't have all rainbows, can we.

*Shows a 4090 and gestures towards the laptop* (The 4090 laptop part is actually much more like a pretty underclocked desktop 4080). Pretty much Nvidia's fault with their terrible naming schemes (should have just called it a Ti at best), but yeah, something worth noting.

Cons only for me is better if is 360Hz but 240Hz is not bad anymore

I wonder the difference for that rtx4090 version of this beast,,,

All is good however that laptop's GPU RTX 4080M is actually a RTX 4070 desktop variant, so NVidia lowered specs and increasing the price for xx80 class. Please do not mislead or "lie". NVidia could "cram" RTX 4090 desktop into laptop, IF they wanted but nope, they cheaped out and made it more expensive.

I wish it had better color accuracy, love the laptop but having at least 80-90% Adobe RGB is important for those editing videos and photos.

I am waiting AMD Chip for Lenovo with 30 hours battery life, according the CEO AMD said the next generation AMD Chip is ready for 30 hours

Sadly the 4090 in mobile space isn't a desktop 4090, but rather a desktop 4080 in respect of core count

Not that information in this video, didn't check for raytracing fps on different resolution. Much needed

OMG ❤

wow, never knew christian erikssen do youtube as a part time job while being injured

MECHREVO 15K OLED, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS RTX 4060 . OZON :D $1150

It still overheats into oblivion, doesn't it

did not mention cooling or temps in games at all.

this would have been my choice if it wasnt for that screen. only 100%sRGB not 100%DCIP3
