Idk if you’ll keep doing videos this way but this is the first time i saw a video of a random dude and immediately subbed. I've watched channels on and off for months and never subbed but damn man. What sets you apart from other reviewers is you feel like a dude that i can trust and known for a long time, like a friend telling me with excitement about the specs in a way a normal person would understand, that's rare and this is an absolute gem! PS : I am a technician and i don't even need that style of a video but i loved it nonetheless, if anyone reading this is new to PC or confusing numbers, at least for now this guy is the way to go!

Thank you so much ! I feel the same and I’m a long time pc tech as well. I’ve been building rigs since the early 2000s but I still try to keep it short and simple so people in the mainstream can enjoy as well as experienced techs too. I appreciate the compliments so much. Means the world. What kind of content would you like to see next? I’ve got some cpu lapping tips and advice on oc video in the pipeline. As well as the new msi claw content coming. I’ve still got soooo many other things to review and test. It’s just finding the time to edit is the bigger challenge I face now since my editing skills are not as good as I’d like. I enjoy the creative process with making mods and coming up with cool takes on stuff you won’t see anywhere else.

@@cppctek I'd personally just watch anything tech related but I'd like you to touch on some aspects almost no reviewer actually touch on. For example, I was learning towards lenovo LOQ 16 but the reason I'm now sold for slim 5 is simply the OLED. It's 24 less frames on the display but it will certainly feel a lot better on the eyes and the overall experience, you feel me? Benchmarks and stats are cool and all but it's really hard to find tech that just feels good, some might have crushing benchmarks but might just be uncomfortable to even touch due to cooling etc. Would love to see more content with your current approach but touching a bit on what the actual everyday experience is, this is what a normal person would understand and even enthusiasts will appreciate.

@@jackal27 Are you connecting the display to the second USB-C port on the left? Ie the one that is closer to you? I believe that port is connected to the iGPU instead of the Nvidia card, so you are losing out performance there. If you connect the monitor to the HDMI or the the USB-C port further from you, you should connect to the Nvidia GPU directly and your performance should return to normal. Oh also an easy way to check whether you´re connected to the iGPU or the dGPU is to open up Nvidia Control panel and check whether you have an extended list of display-related options on the left panel. If there are only 3-4 settings on the left, then you're connected to iGPU and you're limiting your performance.

You can always add an occulink pcie card it does have an extra slot open. But if your going for occulink supported laptops I would say those aren’t in too big of a demand since it’s cheaper and more portable and cost effective all around to just spec your laptop with the gpu you desire. Just curious about your use case scenario and what appeal or use for you does the occulink entail ? I am generally on the assumption that most handheld gamers want it so they can dock at home and play aaa titles but with a laptop your usually going to be able to get any gpu you want now a days. Ohhh btw….. stay tuned and check my community post for the laptop I have on my desk to review that Lenovo sent over for review. It’s got a 4090 ;) I can ask my rep about the occulink support for you but I’d love to hear more so I can explain it and maybe see if they have any input or suggestions. Thanks for the comment.

Look at the rog ally dock videos I’ve shown for example where I’ve tested DOZENS of usb c docks that all can support 120hz 1080 and many can do up to 144hz on some resolutions too. There is zero limitation here on this laptop either. Try it for yourself. Buy a good quality dock that supports the resolutions you want. Not all docks are created equal though

Well yes all laptops will have to run the fans when doing some task just because power does = heat and in order to keep things in check fans are a necessary item when it comes to a high performance laptop. But the good news is the fans when doin these task are way more quiet than my previous experience with most other laptops. It’s more quiet than you think. Is it iPhone quiet … of course not but is it iPhone level performance? No lol. You always have a give and take with performance and fans. You can enable quiet mode which really will keep it quiet but if your gaming in quiet mode it may drop you down a few fps

I got this laptop about a week ago I have only two minor problems with it which is the battery life and also not being able to find laptop sleeves and accessories for it. Other than that it's basically the most well rounded laptop with a compact size, good weight/portability, really nice screen, and balanced specs. Battery issues is solved since I can use a C135 gan usb c charger that lenovo sells in china. I'm really impressed how I can still game on quiet and balanced mode while plugged in to usb c which means that I don't have to bring the 170w power brick around when I'm travelling. I'm still having issues optimizing the battery life or something since I think that most reviewers are getting at least 5-7 hours while I'm getting only about 3-4 hours on a full charge. 32gb ram for me is a must for this laptop since I'm always using about 10-12gb on my laptop with chrome, discord and a few apps in my taskbar. Honestly 16gb of ram is really limiting and if you buy more ram windows will definitely find a way to make use of it. The ram is also really well priced and not upgradable so I wouldn't get the 16gb version. I don't think it's worth skimping and getting the 16gb version since 32gb allows you to open as many tabs as you want and have more than enough ram for games.

I’ve updated mine and can run 120 with no issues. What’s likely the problem is your needing to set the game to have an fps cap to match your monitor and also enable vsync. I only have the nvidia gpu model currently but I do know that issues sounds exactly like you need to go and change some things around. It’s either that or when in 120hz mode it could be also an issue with the game not making enough fps to satisfy the 120hz mode. Check and see first how many fps your making in the game and see if you can limit it or adjust settings to dial it to be on par with your refresh rate.

It’s way more portable and easier to toss in my bag and not worry about the extra weight either. It’s a pleasure to carry around. I tested out another Lenovo the other week with a 4090 if you haven’t seen it it’s worth watching but the price is way higher lol. I find myself feeling like the weight of it’s a bit too much when you carry the two.

The review was too optimistic imo and could’ve have pointed out two important cons: lackluster speakers and non upgradable RAM. They are not dealbreakers for me but very important to mention

I’m pretty sure I mentioned about the ram and I did mention the speakers were speakers and it wasn’t anything that wowed me. Thanks for watching. I know in my prior experience with tons of laptops most of them sound about the same and it’s on par with several I’ve got now. The only time you’ll get better speakers is when you look nearly double the price in much larger laptops. Speakers on a laptop just aren’t a deal breaker for sure but the ram could be for some.

Eh the only reason I don’t toss in a lot of gameplay footage is when your recording gameplay it takes away 10-15% fps and isn’t an accurate representation of fps. Plus it’s going to be impossible to see the difference in quality over KZfaq’s compression anyways. Whenever I benchmark a game if there’s any reason the experience isn’t optimal I’ll then show it to show any stuttering but the gameplay in all these scenarios were great and would have just been the same thing you can expect. It’s tough also with time to add in gameplay and doesn’t really add anything to the story. There’s always those benchmarkers who just toss some random recorded footage up and put the fps on screen and say nothing but they offer zero context and zero value to the big picture. I try to give more than that. Gameplay footage when recording simply uses system resources to record and if you want the true representation of the exact quality your recording then your going to take a massive hit off the fps number. People fail to realize how recording gameplay works. Oh and KZfaq also is still going to Compress it and limit you to 60fps anyways. It’s nearly impossible to give you a 1:1 view with all that in mind so it’s almost not worth the time unless there was something notable that stood out. I’m sure you’ve seen all these games being played before though. But what I’ll do is maybe try to setup my camera at the right angle and see if I can get some videos. Do you want an entire video of me being silent just playing games or do you want some context In there? I’ll see about tossing something up on the next one. Not sure if you saw my community post but I also have a Lenovo legion 9i with an i9 and an rtx 4090 I’m doing a video on as well

@cleon5950 I would say if your playing aaa titles and your lookin for a solid 60-120fps this is the best value esp at the price. But with that said the 7i you will likely be seeing an ips display rather than an oled. The visual quality of the oled is so nice though it’s extremely hard to show in a screen recording what the oled looks like

Just curious what other laptops you had prior and specs ? Side by side to just about any other mid to high end laptop with similar stacked performance, I don’t see how any one can call it loud. Maybe loud vs a netbook? The battery is mid for sure it’s not going to give you insane longevity because of its portability but you can tune it and undervolt to get it a lot better. Laptops in general when gaming are probably the biggest issue.
