Agree with the display issue. I was able to workaround with by manually calibrating the colors using Windows built-in Display calibration. It had about 10-15% too much RED/GREEN. After lowering their faders, I was happy with the results PS: Im using the intel version, RTX 2060 version. Upgraded my RAM as well to 16GB and running an SSD
@NaethanLenovo Legion has 2 SO DIMM slots, depending on your model, its either fully filled or not. For my case, I had a vacant one, hence I filled it up. If you hahve the budget, i'd suggest buting a paired RAM kit for optimal performance
@hanSOLO You might want to open that thing-up and clean them fans. I do it eveyr 3-4 months; and my laptop temps are fine. Lots of Lenovo Legion 5 teardown videos so your good. Just need a screw, and i would recommend a prying tool (or a guitar pick)
@hanSOLO Nice, FYR, my temps are in between 60-65 deg.C in quiet mode, while in performance, can reach up to 65-70 deg.C. Personally, i play my games in quiet mode; there's not much of a difference in terms of performance for my setup. I also run a GPU undervolt, which helps improve temps 1-2 deg.C
Grateful man, i took me hours, weeks, to make it happen. I will definitely bring more insights and genuine opinions if i get a good response. And its been overwhelming for this video. Thank you so much. I just tried to be as honest as i could be.
I think I will buy this for architecture course + I'm on a budget and I can always save up for a monitor later for better colours if I really need it. Nice video
Which one did you buy please tell me I also need for architecture.... Should I go with AMD rygen 5600 with gtx 1650 or i5 10th generation with rtx 3050 both price same
@@bharathab177 i didnt go with a gaming laptop on the end. I bought a huawei laptop matebook 14. ryzen 4600h and amd integrated graphics. I can run photoshop and autocad pretty well. but in your case i wuold say the 3050 since it is newer than the 1650 and will might be better in gaming if you game and also better optimized.
@@bharathab177 personally yes, mine is 8gb ram and for my use its enough. just dont expect it to run lumion or that heavy render stuff. But all autocad, revit, sketchup and photoshop will be done nicely
Really good review Mirza. I like the parts where you share your honest opinions on the laptop. I would suggest you speak slowly and louder on some points. I dont have a problem understanding you but could be an issue for some people. Good luck and keep it up!
I will definitely consider your advice. It was a struggle recording with a smartphone mic. The amount of retakes i had to take was embarrassing 😂. That is why theres a slight amount of inconsistency in the voice. I had that in my mind all the time. Its good that you noticed it and shared your opinion. Means a lot. Thank you.
I have lenovo legion 5 too, and have no issues with it, nor with hinges nor brightness. I bought it around 20 March 2021. Using it for 10-12 hours per day since then, haven't faced any issues. There are gaming videos of it on my channel too.
Thanks @MIRZA, probably the most honest review I've seen so far. I'm thinking on buying this laptop, but I'm not really into gaming, I mostly code and do school work. I'm thinking on buying the 60hz, 80wh variant. Would you recommend it?
Great review ! I am thinking of buying the ryzen 5 5800h with rtx 3060 version, altho i am not going to play heavy games, will mostly do coding and school work. Do you think the specs I mentioned are too much for what i need or is it good ?
That would probably be a bit of overkill if you don't wanna game. Better buy something thin and light with a good processor. Buying a Gaming laptop would cost you battery life and portability for nothing. But if you wanna play AAA titles, even casually, then its still good choice.
Yeah I have a problem with the screen, I've had a lot of Lenovo Laptops but this screen is probably the worst among them. 120hz refresh means nothing as well when the response time is like 20-30ms so you get ghosting in high fps games like CSGO. Wish there was a way to upgrade to the LG 144hz screen with better response time and colour reproduction in India but I don't think those parts are available here.
It was available earlier on lenovo's website (through customization), the stock might get updated in the future, though upgrading after purchase will probably be not possible.
some of your problem is fixed in legion 2021 version. i got one with 5600h 3050. here's my catch: - no hinge problem like you mentioned - type C PD can used for charging - 4 zone RGB - 100% srgb + 300nits + 165hz display this laptop too good man....
Thanks for the long term test. I have had not much luck with my Legion Y920-17IKB Laptop (Lenovo) - Type 80YW Already one month after receiving it had to go back. SSD crashed. Then got a worse version with a real bad old windows install, back. Another send, and then it took even longer because apparently the battery was defective... Then all was well. And 1 month after warranty another few crashes, and graphics card damaged... Eventhough i lost already time with the first few repairs, after warranty is after warranty, so it's now ready for trash. No matter how good the first impressions are for these machines, my trust is gone.
Whoa, thats quite tragic. Something similar happened to me last year when my asus laptop's gpu got roasted. It was working fine one moment then just gone in the next. Tried everything from reinstalling drivers, different windows versions, reflowing gpu. Nothing worked. The funny thing is asus asked me to pay $700 (to replacing the MoBo) for repairing a 4 year old laptop.
@@mirzaaaaaaa well Lenovo didn't even want to repair it. They send me to a daughter company.... But i would need a new mobo too... Which wasn't even available..... I did even try an e-gpu casing with cars from a friend, but every time the drivers would get installed the bad card (gtx1070) blocked the install... Then again my old Asus, from 2014 that even fell from my bike on the street (while in my backpack) only got the usb ports damaged and a little crack in the screen casing still operates find.. So now I'm using that. I guess it can be an unlucky one but service of a company is very important in that regard....
I'm a bit scared of the build quality here - to be more precise - the hinges. I had a Lenovo Y50 before and the laptop had severe hinge issues (so that is why I'm paranoid). Specs look great so I'm deciding between this and HP Omen. The only problem is that I need a new laptop asap due to work - and HP Omen is only available with i7 10750H and 2060 and Legion has Ryzen 7 5800H and 3060. I know that on paper it's a no-brainer, but if I'm going to have build quality issues I would rather have a bit of an older card and sleep normally at night since I cant really afford any downtime due to work.
Why do you have your battery on supercharging? That will destroy it. I have the same laptop with 2060, 16gb ram and SSD out of the box. Replaced the shitty screen while at the warranty since it started going (luckily) and got a brand new screen that's top notch. Everything else is pretty good, except few minor bugs like really rare updates for this processor. When updating the bios you need an external screen, when it's really bright outside you won't see much, battery wear is obvious, although I tried to preserve it and take care of it. It's about 90% or less, which I think it's a bit too much for a year. I have phones for 2,3 years and they easily hold the charges almost like first days. I never charge over 90 or under 20,, same with laptop. Few flaws, but generally it's a good machine and it makes me money ( Freelancer), so it paid itself off a few times over.
1. I have mentioned it in the end. I guess that is how you got to know it. But still I'd like to tell some keypoints. 2. I got it from Amazon renewed. I checked lenovo warranty. It was 10 days old. 2. I tested it thoroughly you can check in the unboxing video. 3. Any problems i encountered, happened only after long term usage. That is the whole point of this review.
Good one and better than most reviewers. BUT please speak more clearly...your voice were muffled at places, felt like you're only talking with yourself.
Thank you and yes you are right, I guess it was too late when I realized that but i will improve it in future videos. Next review is due tomorrow, I hope that I'll deliver in that one.
Bro u are genuine person as i bought same laptop now in 2022 and i never found anyone talking abt the flex near hinge so i was worry abt this thanks for that but i want to talk to you abt hinge if this is possible pls tell me how i can contact u thanks for tha vedio
Hey bro amazing video! Had a question. Should i buy the legion 5 or the macbook m1 i am getting both for same price as i am getting the mac from usa. I have an iPhone and airpods, i want to play gta 5 but this price of the mac just confuses me. I am a college student. What would you recommend?
Well, the ios and mac os are so well optimized to work together, windows cant match that anytime soon. Same with airpods. If you want a seamless experience and you need to frequently switch between devices. Like say, Using airpods with macbook but also want to attend to calls on the iPhone. Get the mac. But on the other hand, while you can technically play gta 5 on mac (dropping down graphics and resolution). I dont beleive it would be an enjoyable experience. If gaming is your priority and you don't need to have a smoother operation between devices, get a windows machine.
@@mirzaaaaaaa really appreciate your quick and long reply 😅❤️ I am finding it very difficult to make a decision as the macbook air at 64k is a song but i even want to play gta😂. What would you have done if you were in my place?
I would've got the macbook. And sell it if it didnt work out for me (maybe even for a profit 😂) and then got a gaming laptop with slightly better gpu. But that doesn't mean you would do that. It's a tough choice but it all depends on your use case. You are welcome by the way. I Appreciate it.
MacBook is great for a lightweight laptop, M1 is pretty fast for the performance... but it's not really made for graphic demanding tasks... If you wanna game gaming laptop having dedicated GPU is altogether a different experience (windows is known for gaming) and build quality with cooling system is must... So choose accordingly
Which one should i choose , between, LENOVO LEGION 5 4600H GTX 1650 or HP PAVILION GAMING 5600H GTX 1650, I am confused because hp has 5th gen cpu , but Lenovo offers good thermals and built, also will mux switch make a difference? Lenovo legion 5 price is around 59k and hp pavillion 58k
Hi, if it’s okay to request that you could do a comparison between the Asus Vivobook 15 M3500QC-L1080TS / or L1175TS vs Legion 5 Ryzen 7000, R5, RTX3050 model? These are almost the same prices, vivobook being 100$+ I’ve been having difficulty picking which to buy since I will be using it for long-term all around and will carry it with me most of the time. I’m planning to do casual triple A gaming, Editing, recording, streaming, Data rendering, web browsing, and use it for school and also connect it to external monitor. Which would you recommend for me?
hi! i'm thinking of getting the legion 5 for school work & some light gaming (valorant, minecraft). i'm not sure whether to get the 5 or the 5i, any thoughts?
Is the Ghosting very noticable or just slightly noticable while playing First Person Shooter Games??? Due to its Poor Response Time... Also Pretty Detailed Review :)
I just ordered a L5 RTX3070 over the L5P RTX3060 (Only those two models in my country). The L5 comes with a 165Hz 100%sRGB 300nits display, hopefully it isn't that bad. I choose this one over the L5P because of the 3070, seems like it will be more future proof and if the display is actually bad I guess could compensate with a monitor, while with L5P would be stuck with the 3060 forever. Both machines a beast from what I see, so guess can't go wrong with any.
Which do you suggest Acer Nitro i7 RTX 3050 or legion GTX 1650. Legion has a better build and thermals than nitro 5 as far as I have heard. But legion 3050 is way more expensive than Acer Nitro 5. So which according to you should I take if i am not a gamer and just want it run CAD software and also it should be able to run few games like Valhalla and Red dead redemption 2
Thank you. I know compromises are to be made while hitting a particular budget but atleast the consumer should know what they are getting into. What could be a small issue for one could be a bigger decisive factor for another person.
I'm actually lower middle class person.... And concerned about durability.. Is it the most durable laptop in this price range? I mean I'm gonna use for a veryyy long term.
I recently got my Legion 5 Intel version and while gaming with ultra settings on my CPU crosses 85 degrees and the unit becomes a frying pan. Any ideas of how to keep my laptop cool? It would break my heart if I had to lower the settings and I already have a cooling pad and a vacuum cooler working at the same time, although there's only a 5 degree difference.
Hey man, love the vid, also new sub : D, had a question tho. I want to buy this laptop for University and mainly gaming, I might use it outside but mostly in coffee shops, on planes etc, is the brightness really an issue and also do you think there really is a huge difference from 120hz to 144hz as I really want to stick to my budget.
there is no noticeable difference between 144hz and 120hz refresh rate. However, the 144hz panel has higher brightness and better color gamut. And yes, the brightness is a bit low for outdoor usage.
@@mirzaaaaaaa fair enough thanks, and yeah as long as it's good enough for typing emails and doing work (school work) then I'm fine with it, as I will only game with it inside
I just bought a lenovo 5 with a rtx 3060 and amd 5400, then I went to play apex legends and the fans did a lot of noise. I have hybrid mode off and it was at silent mode.
Yes of course. 1080p with ease. For 4k, upgrade to dual channel ram because with 8gb single stick scrubbing through videos becomes difficult. Also you might need to lower down the preview resolution to 1/4 or 1/8.
Legion 5 2021 ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3060 - 16gb RAM and 1TB ssd nvme 165hz 1080p display 300nits, for 1299 on spanish Amazon, i'm form Italy. A bargain. Home much di you pay for that configuration?
I'm wondering. I have the Legion 5 (5600H, 3060) and I need a light travel power brick. On travel, I would exclusively use office applications, albeit lots of them (multiple Chrome windows, Outlook, multiple larger (120+ pages) Word files etc), but... not gaming at all. Would a 135W, 170W or 230W original Lenovo power supply suffice for the notebook to run without any throtteling? (How long it takes to actually charge is irrelevant.)
Is your bundled charger 300w? Because lenovo's been bundling higher wattage power bricks irrespective of the gpu, but 180w should be plenty in case of a rtx 3060 + ryzen 5.
@@mirzaaaaaaa Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, the bundled charger is 300W. I am hoping the 170W charger (they don't sell 180W afaik) will not cause any throtteling with the above-described workload, but no one seems to know for certain.
Performance of this laptop is really great for budget . Can you please confirm is there is any screen bleeding issue ? Heard many users are having this issue. And I'm looking for a laptop for editing as well as productive activity . Not into gaming . So for editing a better graphics card is needed. In lenovo colors are not much good as you said . Do you have any other recommendation under $900 ? Thankyou
Mine has very negligible amount of screen bleed. But its something highly variable. So theres no guarantee yours might not have it. However one thing i can advise is that dont go with the 120hz panel. Try if you can get the 144hz one.
Weird thing... Your captions are completely different from what you're saying in the video. I appreciate the review though. I'm thinking of going for the pro
That would be a huge upgrade. You should definitely do it if gaming is your priority. If you're fine with 1650ti's gaming performance then it makes no sense but it wouldn't be able to play any future aaa titles.
@@mirzaaaaaaa i do really like the 16:10screen at legion 5 pro, or maybe just wait the rtx 4060 version comes out,and i change to the rtx 3060 for a cheaper price 🤣
Did you really resolve the stuttering issues? The stuttering is driving me crazy tbh. For fps games even 0.1s of stuttering can ruin the experience, some games like bf5, ac: origins take up all the cpu(100% on 12 threads) and I get stuttering here and there, I'm not sure what's happening here the cpu is pretty good for handling these titles I think. Geekbench benchmarks are in accordance with other laptops. It's as if the laptop just stops working for a millisecond. I'm gonna have to reinstall windows and see. I am using dual channel ram as well.
I am really interested on buying one of these models but i am not sure now. Though about you question i may bring some light, the only reason i could find for a pc with high specs shuttering was temp, check if the temp is higher than 60 to 75 degrees if it is then the laptop has very bad temp control and that for sure would make games stutter.
@@JaySolomonK The temps are fine really they don't go above 80 which is better than most other laptops I think. all cores stay on 4.0 ghz so no thermal throttling.
In India, they are offering the Legion 5 with Ryzen 5 5600H+RTX 3070. For AAA titles, will that be a problem ? Will Ryzen 5 5600H bottleneck the RTX 3070 ?
I’m thinking of buying either the lenovo legion 5 pro or the rog strix g17 both at top specs. Gonna use it for gaming and video editing. Which do you suggest?
I'm thinking of buying the 3060 one for video editing and playing videogames from time to time.. with Ryzen 7. Is it ok? Would that laptop last in the long run? That's why I'm planning on buying it with those specs

Thank you and yes you are right, I guess it was too late when I realized that but i will improve it in future videos. Next review is due tomorrow, I hope that I'll deliver in that one.
Wow Really impressed by Rick and Morty.
Bro u are genuine person as i bought same laptop now in 2022 and i never found anyone talking abt the flex near hinge so i was worry abt this thanks for that but i want to talk to you abt hinge if this is possible pls tell me how i can contact u thanks for tha vedio

Hey bro amazing video!
Had a question.
Should i buy the legion 5 or the macbook m1 i am getting both for same price as i am getting the mac from usa. I have an iPhone and airpods, i want to play gta 5 but this price of the mac just confuses me. I am a college student. What would you recommend?
Well, the ios and mac os are so well optimized to work together, windows cant match that anytime soon. Same with airpods. If you want a seamless experience and you need to frequently switch between devices. Like say, Using airpods with macbook but also want to attend to calls on the iPhone. Get the mac.
But on the other hand, while you can technically play gta 5 on mac (dropping down graphics and resolution). I dont beleive it would be an enjoyable experience. If gaming is your priority and you don't need to have a smoother operation between devices, get a windows machine.
@@mirzaaaaaaa really appreciate your quick and long reply 😅❤️
I am finding it very difficult to make a decision as the macbook air at 64k is a song but i even want to play gta😂.
What would you have done if you were in my place?
I would've got the macbook. And sell it if it didnt work out for me (maybe even for a profit 😂) and then got a gaming laptop with slightly better gpu. But that doesn't mean you would do that. It's a tough choice but it all depends on your use case.
You are welcome by the way. I Appreciate it.
MacBook is great for a lightweight laptop, M1 is pretty fast for the performance...
but it's not really made for graphic demanding tasks...
If you wanna game gaming laptop having dedicated GPU is altogether a different experience (windows is known for gaming) and build quality with cooling system is must...
So choose accordingly
i bought this laptop.bro please recommend for good colour setting in nvidia control panel.
Great information shared.
Which one should i choose , between,
LENOVO LEGION 5 4600H GTX 1650 or
HP PAVILION GAMING 5600H GTX 1650,
I am confused because hp has 5th gen cpu , but Lenovo offers good thermals and built, also will mux switch make a difference?
Lenovo legion 5 price is around 59k and hp pavillion 58k
Hi, if it’s okay to request that you could do a comparison between the Asus Vivobook 15 M3500QC-L1080TS / or L1175TS
vs Legion 5 Ryzen 7000, R5, RTX3050 model? These are almost the same prices, vivobook being 100$+
I’ve been having difficulty picking which to buy since I will be using it for long-term all around and will carry it with me most of the time.
I’m planning to do casual triple A gaming, Editing, recording, streaming, Data rendering, web browsing, and use it for school and also connect it to external monitor. Which would you recommend for me?
hi! i'm thinking of getting the legion 5 for school work & some light gaming (valorant, minecraft). i'm not sure whether to get the 5 or the 5i, any thoughts?
Is the Ghosting very noticable or just slightly noticable while playing First Person Shooter Games???
Due to its Poor Response Time...
Also Pretty Detailed Review :)
It's noticeable.
I just ordered a L5 RTX3070 over the L5P RTX3060 (Only those two models in my country). The L5 comes with a 165Hz 100%sRGB 300nits display, hopefully it isn't that bad. I choose this one over the L5P because of the 3070, seems like it will be more future proof and if the display is actually bad I guess could compensate with a monitor, while with L5P would be stuck with the 3060 forever. Both machines a beast from what I see, so guess can't go wrong with any.
Display is not bad on that model. Don't worry about it.
@@mirzaaaaaaa Thanks man! Take care bro, also awesome review. It's amazing how many configurations one can get from the same computer lol
How is the hinge as of now 1 year later bro?
How does it perform in editing realm ?
Which do you suggest Acer Nitro i7 RTX 3050 or legion GTX 1650. Legion has a better build and thermals than nitro 5 as far as I have heard. But legion 3050 is way more expensive than Acer Nitro 5. So which according to you should I take if i am not a gamer and just want it run CAD software and also it should be able to run few games like Valhalla and Red dead redemption 2
Does its keyboard really feels something extra or its just marketing gimmick?
keyboard is fantastic
Nice video man, good to see the flaws too
Thank you.
I know compromises are to be made while hitting a particular budget but atleast the consumer should know what they are getting into. What could be a small issue for one could be a bigger decisive factor for another person.
I'm actually lower middle class person.... And concerned about durability.. Is it the most durable laptop in this price range? I mean I'm gonna use for a veryyy long term.
Bro can i buy this laptop for work on architectural software like lumion, vray, SketchUp, revit etc...... Please suggest
Yes. Would be great.
@@mirzaaaaaaa thanks bro
I recently got my Legion 5 Intel version and while gaming with ultra settings on my CPU crosses 85 degrees and the unit becomes a frying pan. Any ideas of how to keep my laptop cool? It would break my heart if I had to lower the settings and I already have a cooling pad and a vacuum cooler working at the same time, although there's only a 5 degree difference.
85 is nothing to worry about. It shouldn't go beyond 95 and stay there consistently.
Also try using it in a room with air conditioner
@@mirzaaaaaaa Thank you!
put something behind the laptop to raise it a little,even though you have a cooling pad,it will make it intake air more efficiently
@@deniskrasniqi8996 i have a cooling pad under it, it's alright
well as i dont care i can do would hcange to medium or low
He: Complaing about 45 % ntsc in 1650 legion 5
Me: Using 45% NTSC on 1.25 lakh Asus Strix G15
😂 I just cant stand a bad display.
That's what you are gonna be looking at all the time.
@@mirzaaaaaaa You shouldn’t either.. Companies should really stop putting such displays in newer laptops.. That to such expensive ones...
Right.
@@mirzaaaaaaa should I get HP omen or This laptop
Both are good. Legion has slightly better build.
No battery issues?
whats your review after 1 year
Did you buy the 2020 ver or 2021 ver?
This is the 2023 version right?
Great video, what did u use to make the intro ?
Adobe Premiere pro and after effects. Just customized a template to my need.
@@mirzaaaaaaa pretty cool mate well done.
Thanks a lot.
bro does it has MS OFFICE? Pls reply
Hey man, love the vid, also new sub : D, had a question tho.
I want to buy this laptop for University and mainly gaming, I might use it outside but mostly in coffee shops, on planes etc, is the brightness really an issue and also do you think there really is a huge difference from 120hz to 144hz as I really want to stick to my budget.
there is no noticeable difference between 144hz and 120hz refresh rate. However, the 144hz panel has higher brightness and better color gamut. And yes, the brightness is a bit low for outdoor usage.
Thank you btw. :)
@@mirzaaaaaaa fair enough thanks, and yeah as long as it's good enough for typing emails and doing work (school work) then I'm fine with it, as I will only game with it inside
bro . should i get this legion 5 1650 ti or add 200$ ( 12500 inr) and get acer nitro 5 2060 ? is acer nitro 5 display really bad?
Buy nitro
Bro I'm going for lenovo legion 5i with i7 varient for gaming and coding and video editing as well .. will it be good ? Waiting for your reply...
I just bought a lenovo 5 with a rtx 3060 and amd 5400, then I went to play apex legends and the fans did a lot of noise. I have hybrid mode off and it was at silent mode.
For a polyvalent usage : game transport and study do you recommend this laptop or Asus tuf gaming a15 2021 ?
Thanks
Both are good options, but you might need to undervolt the cpu on tuf a15 to manage the thermals.
This laptop is good for video editing??
mean can we run above premium pro. And video rendering all of that
Yes of course. 1080p with ease.
For 4k, upgrade to dual channel ram because with 8gb single stick scrubbing through videos becomes difficult.
Also you might need to lower down the preview resolution to 1/4 or 1/8.
Great review ❤️
Thank you :)
Legion 5 2021 ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3060 - 16gb RAM and 1TB ssd nvme 165hz 1080p display 300nits, for 1299 on spanish Amazon, i'm form Italy. A bargain. Home much di you pay for that configuration?
Wow. Thats a solid deal. I got this this for about $720 / ₹54000 (renewed). Brand new is priced at $900 / ₹68000
@@mirzaaaaaaa your deal too
I'm wondering. I have the Legion 5 (5600H, 3060) and I need a light travel power brick. On travel, I would exclusively use office applications, albeit lots of them (multiple Chrome windows, Outlook, multiple larger (120+ pages) Word files etc), but... not gaming at all.
Would a 135W, 170W or 230W original Lenovo power supply suffice for the notebook to run without any throtteling? (How long it takes to actually charge is irrelevant.)
Is your bundled charger 300w? Because lenovo's been bundling higher wattage power bricks irrespective of the gpu, but 180w should be plenty in case of a rtx 3060 + ryzen 5.
@@mirzaaaaaaa Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, the bundled charger is 300W. I am hoping the 170W charger (they don't sell 180W afaik) will not cause any throtteling with the above-described workload, but no one seems to know for certain.
Performance of this laptop is really great for budget . Can you please confirm is there is any screen bleeding issue ? Heard many users are having this issue.
And I'm looking for a laptop for editing as well as productive activity . Not into gaming . So for editing a better graphics card is needed. In lenovo colors are not much good as you said . Do you have any other recommendation under $900 ?
Thankyou
Mine has very negligible amount of screen bleed. But its something highly variable. So theres no guarantee yours might not have it.
However one thing i can advise is that dont go with the 120hz panel. Try if you can get the 144hz one.
You are gonna get 45% ntsc at this budget. Try if you could get any deals on the triton 300 or some amazon renewed deals on asus g14.
@@mirzaaaaaaa I'll check it out , Thankyou so much
You are welcome friend.
Weird thing... Your captions are completely different from what you're saying in the video. I appreciate the review though. I'm thinking of going for the pro
Shit, I left them for auto sync, I guess they messed up the timings. I'll correct them manually. Thanks for informing me btw, appreciate it.:)
@@mirzaaaaaaa that's ok :)
Should i upgrade to legion 5 pro for longterm, or just stick with it?
Which variant do you have right now and what you wanna upgrade to?
@@mirzaaaaaaa i have the Legion 5 arh05 (gtx 1650ti, want to upgrade for legion 5 pro 2021 (rtx 3060)
That would be a huge upgrade. You should definitely do it if gaming is your priority.
If you're fine with 1650ti's gaming performance then it makes no sense but it wouldn't be able to play any future aaa titles.
@@mirzaaaaaaa i do really like the 16:10screen at legion 5 pro, or maybe just wait the rtx 4060 version comes out,and i change to the rtx 3060 for a cheaper price 🤣
Haha, yeah, I'm also digging that screen too. So good for productivity.
Bro which graphic driver can i choose in amd redeon software. Please say about correct graphic driver for this laptop
Thanks for the review. I wanna buy such a laptop, and your video is the best in describing this laptop
Does this laptop have ms office lifetime access
Did you really resolve the stuttering issues? The stuttering is driving me crazy tbh. For fps games even 0.1s of stuttering can ruin the experience, some games like bf5, ac: origins take up all the cpu(100% on 12 threads) and I get stuttering here and there, I'm not sure what's happening here the cpu is pretty good for handling these titles I think. Geekbench benchmarks are in accordance with other laptops. It's as if the laptop just stops working for a millisecond. I'm gonna have to reinstall windows and see. I am using dual channel ram as well.
I am really interested on buying one of these models but i am not sure now. Though about you question i may bring some light, the only reason i could find for a pc with high specs shuttering was temp, check if the temp is higher than 60 to 75 degrees if it is then the laptop has very bad temp control and that for sure would make games stutter.
@@JaySolomonK The temps are fine really they don't go above 80 which is better than most other laptops I think. all cores stay on 4.0 ghz so no thermal throttling.
Can you specify the ram you are using(clock speed IR and cl ) and also the cpu & gpu
@@mirzaaaaaaa Specs are same as you, extra RAM- adata 8g 3200Mhz 22-22-22-52. Can you please test AC:Origins, that game is unplayable in the cities.
I'll try to test it
Good review - thanks! Can you turn off the Nvidia GPU?
No, why would you want to do that
@@mirzaaaaaaa to get better battery life when you don;t want to game but have a few h of normal use
Thanks for a great review. Gonna buy it soon
You're welcome. Enjoy
What ia the problem after long term use?
Should I buy this laptop or should go for other one?
Just avoid the 120hz panel. Go for 144z if gaming is your concern or 60hz if otherwise.
@@mirzaaaaaaa where do we get the 144 hz varient?
Check if customization option is available on lenovo website.
Is it possible to turn the dedicated gpu off when not in required ? Or is it always open /running ? Which internal graphics is there in this laptop?
You can use it either in a switchable mode or you can use the nvidia gpu alone.
The integrated gpu is amd radeon graphics
I need a laptop for medium gaming and school work so should I buy Lenovo legion or lenovo IdeaPad pls tell
Gaming performance is gonna be very similar. Legion has a lot better build.
Just to be clear, you mean ideapad gaming?
@@mirzaaaaaaa yes
So honest🤩
In India, they are offering the Legion 5 with Ryzen 5 5600H+RTX 3070. For AAA titles, will that be a problem ? Will Ryzen 5 5600H bottleneck the RTX 3070 ?
No I dont believe it will bottleneck 3070. Also remember that the TGP for 3070 is 130W which is the same as that of 3060
I am also facing some stutters and slow texture loading after using for 1 month do u have any solution
Question my friend. D
Was windows 10 able to detect your 1650ti? Im on my second legion 5 and they both don't detect my gpu... Am I missing something?
Mine is present in device manager
@@mirzaaaaaaa same, but it doesn't show up in "about" in settings... weird.. but its working so far. thanks mate
Should I go for Huawei Matebook D14 or Lenovo Legion 5?
Those are actually completely different devices. If you want to game, then legion 5 of course. I hope that helps.
Should i go for hp pavilion or legion 5 ?
Legion 5
Are you saying upgrading the RAM solves the stuttering issues with this model?
Yes, by a lot
I’m thinking of buying either the lenovo legion 5 pro or the rog strix g17 both at top specs. Gonna use it for gaming and video editing. Which do you suggest?
I think legion 5 pro is better in terms of productivity as it has more vertical space due to 16:10 aspect ratio.
@@mirzaaaaaaa thanks man!
Lenevo legion 5 or asus rog strix G15??
Legion has better thermals but strix is not a bad choice either. It doesnt have a built-in webcam though.
Bro what is that keyboard
Hey should I buy upcoming legion 5 pro 2021 or asus tuf a15 Ryzen 7?
Legion 5 pro is better
I got this in 68k .... should i buy it . ...not heavy gamer ...just collage student ...need performance
Yes. Its good enough then.
I'm thinking of buying the 3060 one for video editing and playing videogames from time to time.. with Ryzen 7. Is it ok? Would that laptop last in the long run? That's why I'm planning on buying it with those specs
I recommend in buying the new model of this laptop like legion 7 if you are going for a graphics card like 3060 and ryzen 7..
Yes, it will last without a doubt. Go for it
The legion 7 is no better than the 5
Stick to the highest version of 5 ,it won't disappoint you
