I can see about getting a new machine later this year.

Glad I was able to help and thanks so much for the sub 😊👍

That sucks!

Yes, I would say so

Yeah, phones are the jack of all trades. I would have to use one of those controllers that the phone attaches too. Send me a link to the mouse you are wanting to test. Perhaps I can buy it and mail it to you afterwards if it isn't too expensive

@@OWNORDISOWN The mouse is the Kensington Ergonomic Vertical Wireless Mouse (K75575WW). I don't know if YT will let me post links here.

​@@siyzerix Thanks Eric. I have made a note of it

@@OWNORDISOWN appreciate it. But there'sno need to mail it to me if you don't like it. Its too far away and customs will jack up the price too much

​@@siyzerixok

Doesn't feel heavy to me and I have about 6 mice.

Yeah but you also have mice like Logitech G502 X LIGHTSPEED with is over 100g and is wireless. I moved to it from G Pro Wireless and this extra weight don't bother me at all.

I really do like the handheld. Really good for the price.

Chinese don't have a word copyright in their language. They also find the word lawsuit laugh inducing

Thanks for watching!

Are you talking about the balanced mode within windows itself or the balanced mode in the advantage software? I think in my testing I switched the windows power profile to high performance but I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference. Certainly the AI in their software ups the CPU power in game which results in a higher temperature and depending on how your cooling is it may throttle if it goes above 95 degrees. Mine cooled quite well, although there were instances where I saw the CPU go above 95. Also, it is very game dependant so you may see one result in one game and you may get something different in another. I tested the AI in 4 games if I recall and all 4 were faster (and hotter) than standard balanced mode.

LOL, I was going to click on that and zoom in :)

Thanks, I thought so :)

Yes, or a flight simulator.

If I had more time I would have tested it in iGPU mode too. Perhaps the auto thing wasn't working too well.

@@OWNORDISOWN I have gaming laptop and i encounter similar problem. Some app even igpu can handle with easy, it still uses dGPU. Mine at list have light indecator, beside lenovo has light indicator when gpu is used, i think

​@@iraklimgeladze5223they just have the light on the power button showing the power mode you are in...

Yes indeed. Eluktronucs even better still.

That's a huge price difference! Was that direct with Lenovo?

@@OWNORDISOWN Bestbuy

Yes

I mean the 4800h was the last ryzen 7 cpu that could be undervolted. And the 1660ti can still do 1080p at reasonable settings,

Great! Just shows you don't need to keep buying a new laptop every couple of years 👍

@@OWNORDISOWN Well according to louis rossmann, if you put a desktop gpu in a laptop, it will die in 2 years. Since his legion has a desktop 1660ti, it should've died 2 years ago and is a meme on account of being a gaming laptop. Looks like he defeated the laws of physics stephen.

Thanks Eric! Certainly I think they need to freshen up their Legion laptops. They have kept them the same for years. I have two more Lenovo laptops to review.

@@OWNORDISOWN I don't mind the design of some of the older legions. But the problem is the price. If these designs stay the same, then surely the production cost would lower over the years. If that happens then lenovo can constantly reduce the price or keep the price the same which will greatly help offset nvidia's higher gpu prices. They could start offering more OLED options, etc. Because if you see the nitro's, they've stepped up massively. To the point of rivaling some of the older legions in most aspects including build.

Awesome 👍

Personally I think it makes sense to buy the last Gen for a $1000 less. Perhaps the Rtx 5000 models that will be released early 2025 will be up to 40% better? What price will they be? It seems to me that pricing is getting out of hand. The 14900HX doesn't bring much extra to the table that's for sure.

I've heard that before with Asus laptops but I thought they put a better barrier down now. I've not done a tear down to see.

@@OWNORDISOWN thanks!

Yeah, it's not like a Razer that's for sure

That is awesome 👍

That is pretty awesome. With laptops like that I could perhaps get rid of my desktop totally. My 5950X is at around 30k in CB23 so having a laptop topping that :-D Nice stuff.

@@InnocentiusLacrimosa i have a 12900k / 4080 desktop that had a drive failure right before a trip, so i worked on the laptop. It's been 6 months since the desktop has been booted. Just never missed it and the laptop did everything i needed the desktop to do so not sure if I'll sell it after a drive swap or upgrade it. Never thought I'd be typing these words

@@ManleyReviews thank you for that perspective. I am now truly starting to wonder if I could be in that same situation at some point soon (perhaps already on the next upgrade cycle). Laptop cpus are finally getting powerful enough to handle my work tasks also. Laptop GPUs are also almost there (if Nvidia would not cheap on that). Anyhow, you provided some food for thought to me.

Lol, yeah I was pissing myself laughing. You are welcome! Thanks for watching mate 👍

Thanks, really appreciate the support! Yeah, like I said in the summary I think its too expensive. Should be closer to $2400. They need to trim some stuff like Tobii. You have a bargain right there! Awesome CPU!

Oh yeah, it is nuts. Complete waste of money. Overclock the 4080 by 5% for free.

You'd buy that mainly if you need the extra VRAM for some non-gaming usecase. Otherwise its wasted. It is a real shame that Nvidia put desktop 4080 chips into laptops and renamed them 4090s. A real 4090 chip (even when power constrained) would have been great on laptops.

​@@InnocentiusLacrimosatotally agree. I will be doing a video showing exactly that.

@@InnocentiusLacrimosa The desktop 4080 at 220w performs 95% the same as it does at 320w. Turing and pascal both crammed 200w gpu's in laptops. Are oem's telling us they can't cool an additional 20w 7 years later? Or is nvidia telling us their chips are so low quality they have to reduce tdp's? And a 4090 desktop at 250 to 270w would be ~10% slower than undervolted/stock 4090. People already made their current 4090m's in asus scar 17's use 250w without issue. Nvidia is artificially gimping gpu's

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I agree, you are set for a few years with your machine. I have no plans to upgrade my laptop with the same specs. What a bargain!

Yep, I do the same with phones. By a previous gen and save $$$

Thanks, appreciate it!

LOL, yeah, that extra for a smaller battery was very puzzling! I have never liked the side vent shrouds either. Personally I would like them to do a complete chassis redesign. This one is starting to look a bit dated.

and they want extra for a smaller battery, lol.

Totally agree. The 4090 one should be $3k and the 4080 one no more than $2400

You are right it's not worth that. To put that into perspective my Asus rog zephyrus duo 16 with 4080 an and CPU ( which you can literally still play games on honestly at medium setting) it has 2k mini led at 240 hz an a second a second screen at 4k 60hz an I got this for 2300. That's way more worth it compared to this over priced this. You can literally go to basically any other company an get the same specs for several hundred less. Don't get a 4090 though it has same power limits as a 4080 so you don't get to even abuse the power

Man calm down, that price is in different regions. I paid 2175, 2376 after tax for this exact model two weeks ago. I literally put it side to side with a 2024 rog strix scar 16 and there was a slight difference but the scar will blind you. The screen is actually good and the pro 7i performance was better than the scar for less money.

I'd have one ... if they brought it to my country... Not willing to drop AUD$4K on a grey import

Wow, I bet it is !

Thats a very good point! Thanks for sharing.

Mini led screen, camm memory and better software with better battery life

Thanks for reviewing a 4080 range laptop! I agree it's more than enough. Can you please do a review of the MSI Raider 18HX 4080 UHD or QHD? I'm looking for an indepth review to see whether the heatpipes in the Raider18 vs vapor chamber in MSI's higher range Titan&Stealth, can manage 4k or Highworkrate or gaming without overheating. I'm hoping they can send you a sample version to test.

For Gen 10, they should definitely bring back the lighting of the ports at the back. The rgb lighting removed is ok. If they can also use mini led screens and incorporate a 16:10 with 18" it will be great

@@zechssiguro7476 Thanks! Yes, I reviewed that a couple of months ago :)

@@enyejiapono2413 Yes, that would be my wish too!

I no longer have it. It was the version when the laptop first came out
