Has enough horsepower (and more) to be used as a workstation (anodised aluminium model looks the part) have been using a legion 7 (MY 2022) and is a solid work machine
I bought it last week for 1,999 and just saw that price went down $300 so I called best buy and they priced matched gave me 300 back. I had previously purchased the Microsoft Surface pro Snapdragon Elite. it was a beautiful 2-in-1 laptop, but the ARM processor doesn't support many programs like Google drive or Bluebeam, AutoCAD for my business or school. The Legion has not disappointed it can handle everything you throw at it.
do u think tge price will go down on the day of black Friday? right now its a week from black friday and its sitting at 2k right now but i can get it on lenovo for 1840 and pick up at best buy. is it worth the wait for black friday or will it not go on sale?
@eric-xd4xc wait till next week it might drop again. If not, you can purchase at bestbuy at regular price like I did if it drops within 2 months you can still price match if it doesn't drop you can return it and they'll give you the money back you can then purchase again and wait another 2 months. You need to have total tech at Best Buy to do this.
i dunno where you got the info that it doesn't have gsync? 16″ WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS, 16:10 aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms Response Time w/ OverDrive, 100% sRGB, 500 nits, VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 Certified, X-Rite Color Management, Dolby Vision®, NVIDIA® G-SYNC®, Advanced Optimus, TÜV Rheinland® Low Blue Light same specs for the higher res also
@@TechOdyssey ugh, I know. I am editing one and just need b-roll but I'm a slave to my 9-5 rn, yayyyyyyy. I'm actually working OT as I type this lol Thanks for thinking of me though lol
@TechOdyssey yes but reviewers are saying the higher resolution is best suited for 4080 and above. Plus it's such a small screen. They say the 2k looks and performs better at 240hz
@gaelguilloteau3179 I went with Lenovo Legion Toolkit and Intel xtu, all other combinations didn't wprk well (core 1 always stucked at 4.5ghz after short time). This way all work flawlessly. Related to undervolt: core -145, p cache -100, e cache -145, system agent -50. Dedicated graphic only. Keep in mind that my values can or not work on your side. Also you can check voltages with hw monitor or hw info.
Great review. -What is the build quality like ? Also is it plastic / aluminium/ something else? -Finally which screen would you recommend? There are two options ( wqxga 2560 x 1600 or 3.2k - 3200 x 2000)
Help me understand this. I did buy it, and This processor is oddly slow! I actually don't like this laptop speed wise. Will upgrading RAM help at all? When using apps quickly i've gotten a few lags, and even had to stop an app from cycling. I agree - speakers are horrible
That's so sick but I just can't justify spending that much for a laptop isn't it better to get a desktop that has same specs and a few hundred dollars less? Also what do you think of the portable PCs like the legion go and Asus ally? Would really love a video about those if you think your audience is interestey
@TechOdyssey oh sick lol my bad I usually don't look at peoples entire libraries just what I see published to me cuz I'm a bot. Good to know though thanks
@morm2173 if you specifically need a laptop for even just one of those reasons I'd agree but I'm just not one of those people so I'd rather get a desktop and stick to my legion go for the portability
Ngl this makes no sense if you dint want a pc because of tracel why would you get a hand held? Gabd helds aren't that cheap either an would suck for doing laptop stuff. The point of the laptop is that uts a portable computer and tou can gane on it. The price is little high but just wait for a discount. Its crazy you ignore everything an thought some one wants to but this just to game lol. Sure cheaper oc would save money but do nothing for traveling an needing that portability
@TechOdyssey - what gaming PC would you recommend for a teenager? Looking for one not on the expensive side since this will be his first one. Thank you for any recommendations!
Laptop sux - drains quick. And the ports are 3.2 gen 1 5 gbps (usb 2) speed other than that it is decent I would not give them the orice they want. Other than that good configuration.. Like your honest reviews
I sold my older Lenovo and got a Mac …I hated the heavy weight and power brick ..definitely not for traveling …Battery life is abysmal ..very happy with the Mac
@ I know ..well originally I bought it for VR gaming..then I realized I used it more for normal day to day stuff then gaming..didn’t want to have 2 laptops around so I just got a Mac instead
Thanks always for your reviews straight forward and clear to understand
Glad you liked it!
Thanks. Good review, im going to order it.
Hope you enjoy it!
This was a great review, thank you!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful
What's the difference between legion pro 7i and legion 7i ?
Had this, really liked it but ended up finding a wonderful deal on a Alienware x 14 R2 so I exchanged it for that. Solid video 👍🏿

Absolutely
GREAT REVIEW - TY
Great video how will this compare against the pro 7i?

@@eric-xd4xc I've been waiting to see too. Hopefully it'll go on sale. 🙏🏻 🤞🏻 🍀
personally id pick the pro 7i over the standard 7i, but this thing is a very solid option

same specs for the higher res also
Im going to be using this as my college take on the go laptop, is this a good idea
Hello. may I ask for your opinion. Asus rog strix g18 or lenovo 7i? I'm undecided as to what to choose.
This laptop goes on a sale for around 1,880$ cad inc. Tax should i buy it or not?
In usa $1550
No Ethernet jack? How do we all feel about this - is that a deal breaker for most?
dont need one, the wifi is 1gbps lol
You can get a thunderbolt ethernet adapter that is pretty darn fast.
I don't care about this product.just take my like😅
Thanks for the support
Same 😂
No problem@@TechOdyssey
The NVIDIA 4070 is also in the Book 4 ultra Samsung laptop. It's an incredible graphics card for my console games. I will consider it
4070 in the Legion 7i is undervolted. You can save a lot of money with the 4060.
i have this same laptop, any suggestions for a vantage custom profile that gives good performance and better cooling?
I have a Lenovo laptop as well, the Yoga Pro 9i :)
That’s a great laptop. I have one too.
Seems amazing
It’s excellent
That USB c only trend bs has GOT TO GOOOOOOOOO
Yup. Drives me crazy.
I love this laptop ❤
You’re alive!
@@TechOdyssey barely, but yes lol
@@techwithashley I was just going to message you yesterday. You haven’t made a video in forevs.
@@TechOdyssey ugh, I know. I am editing one and just need b-roll but I'm a slave to my 9-5 rn, yayyyyyyy. I'm actually working OT as I type this lol Thanks for thinking of me though lol
@@techwithashley good luck with the OT and the video. Can’t wait for the next video! 🫡
How are the temps for this laptop?
Is there and backlight bleed on the screen?
Do you think the 3.2k screen would have made a significant difference?
In what way?
@TechOdyssey like would gaming look better on the higher res 3k display?
@ of course it would look better. The trade off is performance and hardware requirements and price to achieve the same performance at that resolution.
@TechOdyssey yes but reviewers are saying the higher resolution is best suited for 4080 and above. Plus it's such a small screen. They say the 2k looks and performs better at 240hz
great vid ! controller at 1:38?
I wish the link actually took me to the white version
Does it have a Video Port for VR gaming?
USB C 3.2 video out and hdmi
Bought it last week, (4060 model), a perfect machine. Undervolted asap 😊
what was the under volt you did
@gaelguilloteau3179 I went with Lenovo Legion Toolkit and Intel xtu, all other combinations didn't wprk well (core 1 always stucked at 4.5ghz after short time). This way all work flawlessly.

Hey how do you change the refresh rate on this computer? I think that mine is capped on 60hz
Right click screen go to display settings then look for refresh rate
sir what perfume would go well with this?
Just bathe in rainbow sherbet
What is the price of this laptop?
That's so sick but I just can't justify spending that much for a laptop isn't it better to get a desktop that has same specs and a few hundred dollars less? Also what do you think of the portable PCs like the legion go and Asus ally? Would really love a video about those if you think your audience is interestey
Have you seen my videos? I’ve covered the ROG Ally and Legion Go
@TechOdyssey oh sick lol my bad I usually don't look at peoples entire libraries just what I see published to me cuz I'm a bot. Good to know though thanks
For the balance of productivity and gaming it's worth it
@morm2173 if you specifically need a laptop for even just one of those reasons I'd agree but I'm just not one of those people so I'd rather get a desktop and stick to my legion go for the portability

Acer nitro or asus tuf will be perfect for a budget 1st gaming laptop, avoid msi at all cost.
Say hello to my little friend
How much fps did you get on bo6
big big
why not amd cpu?
Why?
Bio says a 4079 btw.
Laptop sux - drains quick. And the ports are 3.2 gen 1 5 gbps (usb 2) speed other than that it is decent
I would not give them the orice they want.
Other than that good configuration..
Like your honest reviews
it does have g-sync
I sold my older Lenovo and got a Mac …I hated the heavy weight and power brick ..definitely not for traveling …Battery life is abysmal ..very happy with the Mac
Well they are very different types of computers. One is a gaming computer, the other is not. The gaming PC requires the big, heavy power adapter.
@ I know ..well originally I bought it for VR gaming..then I realized I used it more for normal day to day stuff then gaming..didn’t want to have 2 laptops around so I just got a Mac instead
Ok calm down fan boy
Just get an M4 Macbook Pro.

is the ram upgradable to 64? i'm considering it for content creation, specifically after effects which is notorious for eating all the ram,
Yes. You can use it to 64gb
@@TechOdyssey That's Great! Thank you very much.
