I'm not much of a video creator, but I will string together a bunch of benchmarks this weekend into one video like I did for the above. So far its been a great laptop, very happy I went with this over the SCAR 17 4090 (or 4080 which was the same price). Key board requires a little more force.... more initial resistance than I like, but I can deal with it, it otherwise feels very high quality. Screen is bright and has been flawless. Fan noise.... quite loud if you are running full out. My wife heard it 40ft away and wondered what was going on. I usually game in optimized mode, perhaps even quiet if its an older game.... whisper quiet under those conditions. I do highly recommend saving the money from buying a 2tb version since some people had 2 1tb installed via raid 0 - makes upgrading a pain. Just get the 1tb and buy a 2tb 980 pro, install in the open slot and you'll have 3tb for the price of 2.
Hey I have an option to get the same specs with the 2tb SSD for 3780 CAD. Do you think it is worth it ? Also, what do you think about the longetivity of the laptop. You think it will last 4 years comfortably without any hiccups ?
No brainer for that price (3780 is essentially $2800 usd, what I paid). And yes, I think it will definitely last. It feels more robust than my past Acer Predator and Asus ROG laptops. I go as far as keeping mine in quiet mode or hybrid mode whenever Im just doing work (I telework 8-10 hours a day, mostly on this laptop now). Hybrid and quiet mode allows the computer to run whisper silent, super cool and it uses the integrated graphics instead of the 4090 unless absolutely required. This means it'll lead to an even longer-lasting 4090 card.
Thanks for this review! Can you also have an in-depth review including games?
Please be the 1st to do a comprehensive review on the RTX4090 ON the gen 8 Legion pro 7i
