lol, im actually looking for a gaming laptop so I've been watching all of jarrod's tech videos. Truly amazing! However, Sri Lankan prices are waaaayyy too expensive so I have to go for one the worse laptops such as TUF A15. :(
@@abdulrahmana.a2230 Look in other country's Amazon and get it from there, you could save some 100-200 bucks, we got no Legion 5 here in Greece but for 850-1000 bucks for this Laptop is a steal in Greece, they would make it here at least 1300 euros
@@Yakikitsu thing is, we have stupid absurd taxes that makes the whole purchase not sensible. We get like 5% customs charges and then shipping just blows everything away.
@@abdulrahmana.a2230 oh, that sounds bad..arenr there any reasonable priced laptops with similar specs in your country?
What cracks me up is that Jarrod seems really gentle and calm. But, he always wears heavy metal t-shirts

Since the Ryzen 4000 announcement I did hundreds of hours of research. I know every single laptop on this list and watched and read many reviews and experiences from different reviewers. In fact I watched every single video on your channels about them and I can say you did an amazing job. This video is a summary from someone who has actually a lot of experience and takes into consideration even the smallest aspects after testing everything in person. Congratulations, Jarrod. You did a fantastic job and deserve way more subscribers and viewers than you currently have. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
I have no doubt he'll blow up as long as he maintains his consistency, especially as many persons are going to be jumping into laptop gaming during the whole stay at home situation. The only thing is though that most pc gamers go for full on desktops so if he starts including those kinds of videos then he'll be fully on his way.
Either way, Jarrod is the best at what he does. No other laptop reviewer comes close.
Well what did you buy?
That's the dedication,lol
Exactly man! Jarrod deserves more.. he is the GOAT of reviewing laptops 🔥
Bought the legion 5 after watching your reviews. I am seriously impressed and astounded by this machine! Really amazing!
That's great to hear!
@@JarrodsTech same here, its the best bang for buck hands down, but the keybord goes a little hot while boost mide
Bought also legion 5 after watching jarrod's reviews (intel i7 and 2060 version). Coming from asus fx553vd, its really good! No complains so far!
I was so tempted by that one, but it seems I will wait until next year as I really want 1440p on my 15 inch laptops and it seems that next year we will finally get powerful 1440p 15 inch offerings. This year was definitely a turnaround year though and without my particular needs on resolution, I would have bought either that Legion or the Omen.
Did you get the ryzen version?

Thanks Jarrod! I picked the HP Omen 15 for the "slimline business" look. This video with links to individual reviews helped a lot.

Good to hear! It's a good one 👍
I got a question regarding the hp omen 15.. It seems that there is a 60hz version.. Does it have the same screen quality as the 144 hz version? Like is the srgb spectrum the same?

Amazing job and directly focused on what people want to know! Perfect bro!
Thaaaank you for this! I'm planning on buying a new laptop during the holiday sales and this is what I needed.

I had a great time watching ur ryzen 4000 laptop reviews and i cant wait to see the 5000 series in the future
Me too!
This video, alongside with Dave2Ds video cemented my laptop choice for the Legion 5, as I've been eyeballing it for quite some time now. I'm gonna get that machine hopefully by the end of December and finally upgrade my work/gaming station :D
Did you ever get it?

Great work man! Very informative and thorough!
Thanks to your reviews I settled with the IdeaPad Gaming 3, I bought it before black friday but that's because I already got it at a cheap price of 800€ (tech is more expensive here in Europe) where as other laptops with comparable specs were about 950€, Black friday deals brought them down to 800, so I haven't really made a loss. I bought it with my first ever salary I got from work.
I am glad to see it being Number 7 on the list, above the Nitro and the A15. You said you don't think the premium is worth the upgrades you get over the Nitro 5, but here in Europe things are different. The Nitro 5 has 8GB of RAM while the Gaming 3 has 16, right of repair doesn't exist in Europe and RAM upgrades will void your warranty. Added to that, the Nitro 5 and the Gaming 3 both cost the same at 800€ here, so it's definetely a no-brainer which one of the two to get.
I once again want to thank you for your reviews, you have been a great help in the past few weeks!
Yeah fair enough, if it's the same price then the Lenovo is the better option for sure. No problem!
Something I've noticed in comparison between the omen and rp-15, the screen refresh rate on the omen is kind of high at an average of 8-10 ms where the RP-15 reportedly has one of 2-4 ms, which I wish I noticed before I settled on the omen.
Good video. It was so detailed and more indepth than other reviews
I have just started searching for a laptop just from today morning. Thank you for helping out. 😍👏
Honestly You're the best tech ( particularly Laptop ) reviewer on youtube . I trust your opinion and I know the trust isn't misplaced . I've watched so many videos about these laptops and there are many things that I find out for the first time after I watch your videos . other than the fact that you collect even the smallest information when making videos ; It's the way that you present the information that tie the whole thing together . If I hadn't have seen your reviews and the performance comparison graphs you use ; I'd have never known that the legion 5 1660-ti is more capable than the g14 2060 and would have gone with g14 and probably been disappointed . So the bottom line is thank you ; I love the videos ♥
Glad I could help!
@@JarrodsTech Hey . do you have any information about legion 5 with ryzen 5 4600h and 2060 ? It's a very rare configuration as far as I've seen and I can't find any reviews of it but it has the best value in my region and my budget . I believe it's an india only config and was imported to my country ( Iran ). Because there were no detailed reviews from trusted reviewers I dont even know how good is the bettery life and I heard from seller's website that it has a 140hz display . I mean is that even possible ? I also can't find any information about color accuracy or the response time of the panel . I'd appreciate any tips or information you have .
You should try (when it get back at stock) the HP Pavilion Gaming 15, its amazing for the price. I took mine for less than $650 USD
I honestly get excited when I see a video posted by you. Good work 🙏
Great video and discussion, thank you,
Ravi

link please man
I bought in official Lenovo Malaysia website guys..im not sure if they ship internationally
Thanks for your well explained video.
Thanks for the great comparison. I just found the HP Omen 15 on sale at Best Buy for $849. Just pulled the trigger on it!
I caved in and traded my MSI GS66 for a G14 today, lesser GPU but ultimately a better choice looking into the future
REALLY? was it worth it more than the gs66? I’m think the gs66 rn
We need the same vid for intel, especially focused on cpu temperatures while video rendering and streaming
very nice review thank you
Love the reviews. Bought the legion5 and have continued to be impressed by it.
Use Ryzen controller for Dell G5 15 SE to control the temperature.
Would that then decrease performance? Im getting one and am looking for things that i should be doing with it to keep it going well.
Lenovo Legion best option 2020. Said it when it launched Jarrod!
💜💜💜

Another great review and comparison.
Be'lakor🤘🏻 you have great music taste aswell as very informative videos
I just scored my G14 on sale for $1,200. Considering the size, build quality, and price, I can’t believe how fast it is. It may not be the fastest on here but it’s small size will come in handy for me as a college student.
Yep. Bought mine for college as well because of the portability and battery life. It can run Control at 60fps with RTX/DLSS on, id say that’s good enough performance for me.
First comment, HELLO Jarrod! 🙌😁
Hey!
On the point - performance and thermals. Excellent, thank you!
You deserve every PUB on your vids. Great as always. TY and cheers from Portugal ;)
If you're in the US, Best Buy currently has the HP Omen 15 on sale with the 4800H, 1660Ti, 144Hz display, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD for $950!
Link?
I ended up buying the HP Omen 15 because it was available for same day pick up and I didn’t need to upgrade the storage for an additional $$$ since it already has a terabyte.
I bought it for $950. Thoroughly Enjoying it right now. You can just go through the Best buy site/app. Exact same specs and running cinebench and testing everything right now. It was between this or the Legion 5 with the i7 and rtx 2060 for $50 more. But I wanted an AMD Ryzen CPU. Every laptop before this was an intel chip.
@@s0nsoftheworld I got the HP Omen 15 originally with the recent sale ($827 open box excellent from BB). I’m throughly impressed with the overall presence and its performance. Unfortunately I was not able to adjust screen brightness, googled everything, seems it’s a hardware bug with the earlier batches (warranty shows it was an August machine). Got in on the Legion 5 4800H RTX 2060 deal yesterday and will see how it goes....and yes, I’m now a firm believer of the Ryzen cpu, it smoked last years XPS 15 with 9750h in nearly every productivity software that I use

Thanks for watching!
Bro you are a legend thx for the great reviews🙂
Nice shirt, love the band 🤘
I got the ASUS G14 as soon as it was available and I'm SO glad that I got it! I'm a university researcher so the portability is extremely useful, whilst being powerful enough for me to run 2D/3D CAD software, coding, gaming, doing 3D animations with Blender, etc.
Legion 5 is way better and cheaper TBH...

Excellent review. The comparison bar charts particularly the pixel response was really useful
Thanks, good to hear!
I now that legion 5 is overall better, but my eyes just tend to love omen 15, so I don't now what to choose.
Same
The one with rgb lol
lol.. same here.. Legion 5 seems like a winner but the only downside is that it has a plastic deck.. what a bummer.
If we talk about Intel variants, the Omen 15 is probably better since it allows switching to discrete graphics. But for AMD, Legion 5 seems to be better.
Keeping this in mind, I still went for an Omen 15-ek0022tx (i7-10750H, RTX 2070). Zero regrets.

this is what i needed. i just wanted to know the best laptop i can get in my price range, so i can make a purchase decision. watching countless videos on individual laptop reviews didn't really give an idea of which was the best performing out of all laptops, and benchmark websites are so confusing with all configurations of devices, so thanks for this vid *thumbs up*
Got the G14 one of the best 14" and under. laptop 15" is too big to carry around G14 very portable
