I really like how Lenovo keeps the "professional" look and they let you turn off the RGB, it means I can buy it for work and not show up to client meetings with an RGB disco ball.
Bro party with your client instead 😂😂😂
"Disco ball" haha 😄
@@g33k_Tech Then when your boss comes, switching the style back to serious-like shows that you're not wrong about picking this laptop. Truly a gaming laptop that doesn't always look like a gaming one.
@@TheGamingMotionTGM ahahaha mine also actually legion 7i
pretty sure you can turn off rgb in all rgb laptops. I own a rog strix g15...its a legion carbon copy but made by asus.
Replaceable memory is a highly underated feature on many laptops
But its a good looking gaming laptop without a Razer pricetag
@Clayton Salvigsen My comment wasn't just about gaming laptops though, they occupy a much smaller market space than standard school/work laptops. Repairability is becoming much rarer in many devices
It's also a feature only a very small number of individuals ever fall back on, even though many consider it during purchase. Kinda funny how things go.
@@thomasdixon9823 XPS15 still has it
Underrated??? Hell no
I love how they dedicate one person to one item, like Brandon for cameras, and Alex for laptops. Like this one.

When the product you're reviewing is your sponsor for the video
Linus: everything about this machine is a piece of art
Maybe because it is a good laptop? Maybe because Linus has some integrity, enough not to bullshit us?
@@verrigo if you didn't notice, it was a paid praise video, not a review. Almost nothing was shown about this machine, but how "impressive" insides are, boost clocks at full load and fps in 2 games at unknown settings, unknown temps, unknown noise level, unknown load on the system and a lot of vague vocabulary without numbers.
there are other laptops that hit higher clocks on CPU under 100% load at 8 cores, like Eluktronics Mech G3 or some 4800H laptops while still having good build quality, display, or even having proper mechanical keyboards.
If you draw conclusions that this laptop is great by seeing it alone, without comparing to competition, it is idiotic.
Sure, it might be great, when you don't compare.
And no, this paid praise wasn't a total BS by LTT, but description should give you enough info that this isn't a serious review.
@@verrigo Clearly he sold out mate.
Obviously it's sold lol...but tbh if this was done in the off channel they would have toasted lenovo
i have Lenovo Legion Y540, build is near identical and it performs similarly to how he advertises is, silent keyboard, flat/thin and all that so it's actually accurate lol
Anyone notice the color grading is off? Especially on Linus's skin when they zoom in. Also the gaming part in specific seemed liked a rushed voiceover
Can't see it on my cheap display. I may say
Edit: actually ur right. It seems to have Abit of a redish hue on it
Imagine liking marshmleo
The overhead cam is ok but the other angles is kinda red.
I think they're doing something new, because the color grading on the LTT "Laptop playing two games at once" video was basically nonexistent. The whole video was a kinda boring grey.

This seems a bit too much “sponsored”.
Oops! Wait what! It was sponsored.
To be fair, it’s probably one of the most powerful non-custom laptop
Notice how he never mentioned the battery life.
@@ompatel1613 don’t expect great battery life when running powerful hardware. When you’re doing intensive gaming 99.9% of the time you will have it on the charger but yeah he coulda touched on it still haha :)

You can't be serious.
"meanwhile my alienware"
Oh, now it all makes sense. Carry on.
I'll have this, but in ryzen flavor.
Hey Linus, how about to make a real video for Lenovo Legion with Ryzen 4000 processor instead of this lame commercial for Intel?
There's Legion 5i (or just 5, I forgot) with Ryzen, but unfortunately it is only equipped with up to GTX 1660 Ti.
@@lasbrujazz 1660ti is still good
@@lasbrujazz It can be configured up to a 2060. Too bad as there are no 2060 super and above available.
I just bought the ASUS ROG Zephyrus from best buy and I'm disappointed, they apparently have sub variants that don't have the full feature set, so I lost out on the display on the back even though I asked for the best one.
Oh and it's a damn fire 🔥 in a box! When gaming is so hot it could burn you!
Me: Boss! This is a Lenovo business laptop!
Boss: Googles LEGION.

Your boss is probably exceptionally stupid if he needs to look up the word "legion".
@@vaisnow and Im sitting here with my Dell with admin rights, someone told me one could even install the shadow launcher

@@vaisnow depends on your workplace. As devs in a smallish sized company (~400 employees) we pretty much need admin access on our laptops, and we're even allowed to install Linux etc if we want, without being required to install any control shit on top.

1:41 Linus: "THANK YOU for including an ethernet jack"
I: "Is this something I'm too much of a third-world citizen to understand?"
if you really want to buy this laptop you need to watch Dave2D
An increasing number of laptops don't include ethernet jack. They rely only on wifi connection. I have an Asus Q and sadly find out this when I was in need of that port.
@@sterling_max I understand the need for greater portability, but it shouldn't come at the cost of omitting standard yet useful technologies like ethernet ports. I also have immense difficulty in convincing myself about the utility of soldered RAM and storage (if there is any), and can gladly have an extra few hundred grams of weight, and a centimetre or two of thickness to be able to upgrade/change the RAM and storage, without requiring any kind of special soldering skills.
@@fancyyahoo totally agree with your remarks
"Enough about thermals"
Didn't even mention temps
I was waiting for this too
yeah... although it didn't throttle at 100% cpu load, so they were probably fine
We all know it’s pegged at 99C lol, it’s intel it’s a given in Laptops. ESP with crappy stamp paste.
its going to be HOT. this cpu runs hot even with good cooling, i bet it was around 90c peaked at 92c
@@Twisted_Harlock I don't know, Razer keep their temps pretty low
2:29 Linus's mating call
Lmao 😂
Sounded like a Loon!
Underrated comment
If this were reddit i'd be giving you gold
Sounds like a bird
""""starting"""" at $1600, but really if you want all the performance shown in the video you are probably looking at $2500-$3000, I hate that dishonest "starting at" crap that people pull, just give me the pricing straight, how does it help to low ball the pricing just for people who might be interested in buying it finding out its more later, I feel like its just going to turn people off to it because it feels so dishonest, at least that's how that sort of shady junk makes me feel.
No. People who are disgust by it are either young kids or people who have never paid for things themselves. Everything in the world is marketed that way, cars, condos, houses, electronics, even many services, etc. Basically all the adult stuff are marketed that way. Because it's factually true that this laptop starts at that price. And it's on the reviewer if they don't mention the price of the spec they're reviewing.
Honestly, I don't see a reason to rant about that petty thing at all. Lol.
Thang Ta I like to see starting at and ending at max price but due to marketing reasons I understand the starting at point
Its not dishonest, the starting price is indeed 1600$. You said it yourself..
I got mine for 1849. With 2070 super and 1 tb plus 500gb and I7 and 240hz with 16g ram.
@@DoktreSam Sure, you can HAVE a starting price, variability and customization in choice is great, but don't run a test bench on the high end product and then just passively drop the "ohhh starting at" when the starting cost is half the price of what you are being shown, it's pretty shitty, and your condescension doesn't help your argument either bud. I'm a fully grown and make plenty of purchases, hence why I like to know that what I'm seeing matches the prices I'm being told, it's not a complicated thing.
Man, TH-cam is getting crazy with ads these days. I just got one that was 15 minutes long.
Is it me or does the linus just change voice for a moment when he said "their state of the art legion 7i windows 10 gaming notebook"?
for sure!
he must've forgotten the name on the original footage lol
I think he messed up the name on camera and it had to be changed via voiceover in editing?
lenovo probably asked them to add it after the video was made to fulfill the contract.
Probably messed up + re-recorded the line lol
You can REALLY hear the "you didn't talk enough about how good our speakers are" copy approval notes 😆
ed: no hate, get that paper
Yeah, that part seemed heavily shoehorned in by Lenovo.
Sidenote: does Lenovo think gamers are insistent on particularly good speakers on a gaming notebook? they do know that this laptop will be used with headphones connected like 90% of the time, right?
Ethan Calder probably 95%+
Fr, shit like this is why I don’t trust a word of these reviews. “A surprisingly low hum” Linus says as the machine sounds like a jet engine likely in the 70-80db range on “balanced.”
@@greylawson6352 I mean it's pretty quiet compared to the HP laptop I can hear three rooms away screaming in Folding@Home.
@@Lemonssssss tell that to Unboxing Therapy, all he does is read the manual and listen to speakers, and decides whether the device is good or not right there.
That credits roll... that's respect. That's what's called teamwork.
Lenovo has always made great systems, I highly respect them and their systems are always very serviceable.
Anyone noticed at 0:19 Linus had to do a voiceover?
Another at 0:50
Rides1283man multiple throughout the video. That a sponsorship for you.
and another at 2:14
They are just jump cuts to maintain accuracy of information. Making editing changes like those are priority number one. The smoothness and noticability comes second
Some aspects of the laptop probably weren't finalized at the time of recording, like the name.
Linus: The keyboard is very RGBey.
Me: Sad there is no RGB on the power brick.
But the price would go higher if you think about it
Nethul Vithanage the fps would be higher smh
Nethul Vithanage RGB is known to reduce CPU temps and improve gaming performance
No rgb speakers or rgb trackpad.
@@Vik007ization this was funny af😂
"Linus: can you hear how quiet this is" LOL
I got a Legion last year for my college course and as a desktop replacement (my desktop CPU hadn't been upgraded in 7 years). I picked it because it looked so much like a normal laptop so I can use it at work (where all the normies live) without drawing stares. But I've never regretted my purchase even though there was a slightly more powerful laptop (on paper) for the same price because it's just such a solid well made laptop. I don't cry whenever I drop my backpack with it inside!
This looks like the logical progression with better speakers and RBG. I might just get another when it comes time to upgrade.
I should add in as well that although I've never tested the thermals properly, I've never noticed thermal throttling after prolonged game play at or around 144 Hz.
How’s the hinge after a year bro…just bought mine 2020 version
@@g33k_Tech No hinge problems for me.
However, Covid stopped all my travel and uni is all work from home so they hinge hasn't had much use in a year and a half 😞

How deep inside do you recon? The MINIX system that runs inside the processor counts?
Well, Lenovo is shipping Ubuntu or Fedora on the ThinkPad P-Series, so it might be a good idea to make that clear to the viewer.
@@MaxPrehl got one of these last week. Linux support is so-so. As of yet: no audio, no brightness control, no Bluetooth, no RGB control. Also you have to go into bios and disable raid (Intel RST) even if you only bought one drive because it's always enabled
I saw an article last week that claims Lenovo is bringing full Linux support and install to its whole laptop lineup. Fact check me, but I'm hopeful.
Really interested in getting this, but really wanna see legit reviews before I fork over >2k Euro for one. I like the presentation here, but let's face it, it's an ad.
Why would they go in depth on a sponsored video, on a pre-production unit?
@@LiamNajor no one said they should?
its actually not much of an ad-ish video. this entire channel is unboxing and messing with whatever they can get sent to them.
@@ghomerhust it stands out from other laptops that have been on this channel though. Linus really sounds like he's trying to hit marketing notes throughout the video versus how they normally talk about products.
@@LiamNajor Did I say that they should've gone into more detail? I said that it's an ad, and that I wanna see legit reviews before buying this.
Bought this and the m15 R3.... the Alienware went back and I kept the 7i. Good build quality, no thermal issues like d2d brought up in his video. I didn’t got for a super bit did get the 2070 max q and again fits my needs perfectly
It all started with the Y530 which I actually have and its marvelous. Lenovo has finally found their ground with that design. Well done!
I miss the videos in the "babysitting with Anthony" format, where Linus gets to play around with tech and get wet, and Anthony has all the knowledge about said device
"get wet"
Thats kinda harsh. “Get wet”?!

@@thomasb1521 yeah and it also needs 4k 120hz just like razer blade laptop. Lol
I want it.
The keyboard, the RGB, the black color is all good, but there should be more optional options like having the laptop with better processor and GPU, or even the display!
I believe that's the intent behind why it has 'i' at the end. The model with AMD will probably exist. Although, the Lenovo 5 will have AMD, versus the 5i.
(Edited because I originally said it'd be out sometime late summer, but that's highly unlikely).
agreed. that 4900 (i think) that asus stuffed in their zephyr is a beasty little chip, and sips the power. couple that with a big 2000 series gpu and that would make daddy happy.

@@kaldo_kaldo
I kinda have a thing for the cringy gamery designs .__.
sell your both kidney
I bought a y740 17' last year and i love it..
Good performance for the cost.
Too bad that i cant figure the rgb lights on the keyboard, when it boots all lights show their glory...then the profile kicks in... some keys go bye bye.
It'll be in the Corsair iCue. The default profile is that spinning RGB. You can delete it if you don't want it, and when configuring your own, you have to make sure you select all the keys, which can be a pain
I have the legion 5, i have had it for about 16 days but still, i truly love it! The usb-C supports displayport 1.2 so that's a awesome feature to have 2 video outs. Also i haven't complained about the screens brightness but i guess i see that it is a dimm screen (the 120hz 45% NTSC screen). My reason of buying it was because all competitors or were ugly af or were about 200 dollars more expensive. There was no option for me to go with the 60hz 100% srgb version but if you can do it if you can use the 50 nits extra brightness or the 100% srgb. There was minimal junk programs but i would remove the program that controles the onscreen viewing of the toggles (like caps lock and numpad). Other than that awesome mechine for €850,- upgrade for €30 extra to 16gb with a cl22 22-22-22-22 module. So my review for now would be AWESOME, nothing that i can think of that could be better at this pricepoint (within The Netherlands) apart from the screen i would have like to get the 60hz 100% srgb version as i have said before but the option was not available for me. If you have any questiona ask me in the comments!
Edit: yes the amd version ofcourse
Is the one you have currently is the 2020 or 2021 version? So far there were problems around the hinge and if the 2022 one had the problem solved then I would look forward to buy one. A gaming laptop that doesn't always look like one thanks to the customizable keyboard lighting and competitive prices.
@@TheGamingMotionTGM I can't remember but it has been some time over a year so my guess would be that I have the 2020 version. I had a problem with the screen not turning on after a bios update but lenovo fixed it within a week without any cost to me and it's working flawlessly again so yeah no problems. The hinge is still as good as the day I bought it no issues there either. Just overall a very well build and overall a awesome machine!!
@@JJSnel-uh3by So is it better to go with the upcoming 2022 one? I mean there has to be noticeable improvements over what's becoming a problem from earlier models.
@@TheGamingMotionTGM I have no idea but if it's better and not too much more expensive sure. But either will suit you just fine. But like I said in my comment try to get a better screen version :D
I can feel my wallet thinning just looking at it
2:28 this pigeon-like sound could only have came from the stuff-dropper guy
Lmao
Man, you gotta appreciate Lenovo's no-nonsense approach at their laptop design. They focus on making a good machine and they make a good machine... must be expensive as hell. I do wish they came with Rizen CPUs though, their single core performance is good enough for gaming and I'm interested on other tasks.
I really dig the scalloped edges of that brick for nice and easy cable wrapping.
That is pretty awesome. I have been interested in vapor chambers since sapphire started using them on GPUs (like a decade ago now) and its crazy to see how it can actually impact performance even by today's standards. What an awesome design - I hope they can do something awesome with AMD high end mobile chips eventually

That's basically my experience with this channel
The man said like every spec in the video. And if you want the full specs use your brain and go to the product page.
Ever? There's a spec page in every actual review LTT has done - this is just an unboxing/showcase
Honestly I'm happy with the 5i I bought a couple weeks ago. Really refreshing how professional it looks for what they sell as a gaming laptop. Almost like a thick thinkpad, except not really. Luckily mine came with a white backlit keyboard, which is excellent, because it's completely hardware controlled. That means no fuss when I installed Linux. Smoothest install I ever had apart from my homebuilt desktop.

There’s a small missing, the keyboard cooling called “ColdFront”.
ColdFront isn’t keyboard cooling, it’s an internal thermal design solution. It’s an internal cooling system to prevent overheating 😊
Wow, this Desk is amazing! And this looks like a pretty decent build machine. Lenovo did a very good job here!
I have the 2018 version and this is a big improvement
I wanna see a competitor to this running 4th gen ryzen
Lenovo R7000, pity that there is no R9000k

I just got the model before this one, the legion y740, and I really like it. Its very similar to this one
just added it under macbook 17 in my list
These are still awesome Oct 2021. I just wish it didn't default to dancing rainbows whenever it boots.
About time y'all review one. Mine is running strong and so underrated. Build quality is super tough it's a monster
The voice over reminds me of the original Blade Runner release....
I have the older version of Legion, Y540, I wanted a powerful machine that doesn't look too "gamery", I'm really happy with it. Especially the keyboard is great. It's also reasonable priced compared to many other gamer laptops. It wasn't the rgb version though, white keyboard backlighting is plenty for me. Edit: oh yeah the "whoosh" instead of whiny fans are also very important for me
I own a Legion Y7000 and I love this line up for the display and that sweet keyboard. Lenovo simply has the best keyboard layouts out there. I just hope this comes with a Ryzen SKU along with that GPU. Would just be a killer machine.
As soon as I saw that keyboard I thought it looked like my Corsair. Very impressive machine.
Thank you for testing on Forza Horizon, I wish you guys would do that more :)
Not many teams test with racing games. I would love more of that, especially when we get Forza or Need For Speed with full ray tracing. :)
I've absolutely loved my lenovo legion, the cooling system works so well, and overall it's out performed my expectations
Which model did you get? What games are you running?
@@Odmandak I got one of the earlier models, 6 core I7 but only a 1050 GPU, I don't play any too hefty, mostly just destiny 2 and grand strat games, but Im also in an engineering program and use it for CAD and labs and it's performed great
Justin Baxter gotcha ok. I’m trying to run COD and then some excel stuff for business. Seems like any of these models will be more than fine - gravitating to the Lenovo for the keyboard and the cooling. Might wait for a model with AMD 7 and 2060 tho...
So the rgb on these laptops actually use Corsair icue completely.
The last line of these legion laptops, already had this, and it's quite cool as you have a lot of options!
Love the credits at the end :-)
I can't seem to configure this with the i9 mentioned in the video. Am I missing something? Highest config is an i7-10875H with an RTX 2080 Super Max-Q

k680B I didn‘t get that, really?
Tbh I started this video to check if my earphones are connected before going incognito.... but that laptop really caught my eye!!!!!!
Anyone else notice the price point doesn’t match what was pushed in the video? 0:50 talks about a 2080 super, then talks about how it starts at 1599.99 at 13:44. From what I’ve seen, it’s guna cost about 2999.00 for this fully specd out.

"And the most important thing in car games, the sound. Sounds good."
Forza players are gonna be mad about this lmao
oh the irony lol
This is one of the longest commercials I've seen on TH-cam
I purchased the top spec one of these back in October for gaming as well as some CAD. Absolutely love the thing. Never had any issues with Lenovo in the past so I plan to keep on using their products.
How is your laptop now?

It'd be great if they had a 17" model of this one.
I have the model just before this one, the legion y740, and there is a 17" option. I got the 15" cuz i use and OLED65C8 as a second screen for gaming
How Linus gets so serious talking about the components of a machine is a different vibe. Its like someone snaps his finger and Linus starts to ramble
i love looking at things i cant afford
G9 review please!
We will forever be able to date these videos by the 'Linus Beard Era'... We will have Years PB (Pre Beard) or years AB (After Beard)
love those low profile design for a gaming laptop
Me: I am going to buy this laptop
My wallet: No
Will there be Ryzen equipped Legion 7i's?
nope.
nah cause ryzen issues and low performance.
@@genexis_x9040 big bummer.
@@thelightsilent Intel causes overheating and low performance
@@thelightsilent um Ryzen outperforms Intel in notebooks... Are you that out of the loop? And they consume less power and run less hot.
This is one of the cooler laptops I’ve seen. It looks amazing
1) I wish this came in a 17" version, and
2)I wish laptop manufactures would start making monitors beyond 1080p
I think a laptop with worse screen is better than a discharged one with 4k tho
Great machine. I'll save the name so I can buy one in about 5 years or so, when I can afford it. lol
5 yrs period is certainly too long... there will be many types & brand that stands out more than this, with higher performance with same price / same performance with cheaper price
Linus is acting like he's never felt 144hz before
It's like a mullet... business in the front and party in the back
Trololo in Australia, they're only selling the maxed spec one and it's about $1k ABOVE the direct conversion price from the US.
Everyone : No AMD no GO! GO AWAY INTEL !
Me : Impressed lenovo is able to cool that thermally problematic i9.
Also Me : Imagine this cooling with AMD?!
There is an AMD version. I purchased the lower end ryzen 5 version and it’s honestly the best laptop I’ve ever seen especially for the 900$ price tag
@@ajames8077 I already pre-ordered a Legion 5 too! It's just a shame that the GPU maxes out at a 1650 Ti :/
@@ajames8077 There's no AMD-based Legion 7 (the "i" in "7i" is for "Intel")... for now.
