Күн бұрынI'd like to thank Best Buy for sponsoring this video with the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 AMD Advantage. I've spent one month with this laptop and I must say it is one of the best-performing laptops of 2022! 🎆 Check Out Best Buys Top Deals now ( bit.ly/3F67oDG - Commission Earned )
💻 Lenovo Legion Slim 7 ( geni.us/Slim7RX6800S-DR - Commission Earned )
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 AMD Advantage is one of the best bang-for-buck laptops available right now. It is thin, light, color, accurate, and has great battery life. It is powerful for designers, video editors, artists, and 3D modelers alike. I love the design and the build quality all matched with a large 16" 16 x 109 aspect ratio screen.

@Ben Hey. Is it still worth going for the 2021 model compared to the 6600s model? I can only get the WUXGA model before February, amazon has the older model with 2TB for around $80 more inclusive of taxes. So I am having trouble deciding. I can't game all that much and it's mostly gonna be for my studies. I can't make up my mind and tell my dad what to get on my own so I am asking for some advice. The other options like TUF A15 doesn't have a fingerprint reader, but I can get that one from mucrocenter for like $120 less, but would need to add another SSD just like if I get 6600s model of this from Lenovo. An advice would be much appreciated.

Great stuff, Ben. One question about your qualm with the CPU (HX vs HS). I am looking at another Legion SKU and it comes with a choice of the 6900HX OR the 6800H. IS the 6800H that different from the HS, or have you not had experience with both of them before?
@BenGKaiser Жыл бұрын
HX, H, and HS are all unique. Basically the most efficient out of the 3 skus is the HS. It will get the best battery life. The HX is unique because it allows for custom overclocking via the BIOS. So if you want to get REALLY techie the HX would be good. Overall the HX and the HS provide unique values. Personally I like the battery life of the HS, but the HX offer slightly more performance. It is up to you what you would like out of your CPU.
@gandoo10 Жыл бұрын
@@BenGKaiser I see. You know, you reviewed the Legion 7 AMD with the 6850M XT about a week ago. The one you reviewed had a 6900HX but they sell a 6850M XT with a 1 TB SSD and a 6800H. I'm no power user or content creator but I am looking to get the best battery life for work while still having a rather powerful machine. That's why I asked about the CPUs. Seems like a 6800H will be just fine for me (6900HX is OOS on Lenovo's site for the past 1.5 months) and I can deal with the 1 TB of storage (as opposed to the 2 TB in your review unit) with an external drive. I just didn't know if I'd get FOMO going for the 6800H vs the (OOS) 6900HX

I’m debating myself on which one should I get, legion 5 pro or legion 7 slim , my purpose of buying a laptop is to do school work and game at the same time so I’m concerned a bit about the portability and battery life. Also can I use a usb-c to charge it while doing light work instead of carrying the charger with me?

Hey Ben I know you're not a laptop engineer but I recently came across your video on why you should get an i7-1260p without a dedicated gpu and i'm still baffled by how i7-1260p laptops with dgpus perform worse in battery life testing, irrespective of screen type and battery size. I mean the laptop runs on integrated graphics when doing the battery test, so what is causing i7-1260p dgpu laptops to have less battery life? Maybe it could be higher power limits, but the Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 manages to still get the best performance of an i7-1260p and still has excellent battery life. Something's not clicking here.

I got this laptop and crashing all the time with an external display. I troubleshoot everything I could and can’t stop the issue. The legion support is useless as they don’t come and service you at home even thought I am supposed to. I called multiple times and didn’t get any service. Don’t buy if you have multiple display setup.

Nice review. I find it interesting the RAM and CPU power efficiency are points you bring up as a creative professional but the lack of TB, USB4 or a 2nd SSD bay don't. Doesn't storage capacity and transfer rates to external storage matter for a creative professional? Intel version has both, but the battery life is also worse.
