    I had purchased this device from Best Buy about 2 weeks ago. It was great...to a point. My device could not sit on my desk mat or it would heat up and throttle. When I removed the mat from my desk and sat the device on the desk, it stayed fairly cool. I could have it on my lap while sitting, watching TV, but the device would throttle. Also, the case made a creaking noise when opening and closing. I took the laptop back for the case noise. To be fair, if Best Buy had another in stock, I would have just exchange the device. I ended up purchasing a Legion Pro 7i directly from Lenovo. It has been great thus far.

    Hey Beau! Great review. I heard people saying the i9 14900HX can throttle on this laptop, would you still recommend that version or the i7 14700HX version instead for gaming and content creation?
    Rather concerned about throttling and the i9 causing less power with certain games etc. heard it can drop to a 40W? With the 4070?
    Hope you can help as I can’t decide i7 14700HX or i9 14900HX
    Additionally is there a risk of screen bleeding with the 3.2k screen?

    Thank you for the great review. You dug a little deeper into this laptop than most reviewers. I've been wanting to replace my five year old HP Spectrum, which I love for it's touch screen and build quality. I wanted something with a little more umph for CAD work and gaming without too much bulk and this Legion 7i seems to fit the bill. Upgradeability is important to me and this 7i has that too. I found a great deal on one for US$1660.00 with 32Gb RAM, 1 TB storage, 240Hz display, and 4070 GPU. I'll probably add another 1 or 2 TB SSD later.

      Ah, the eternal question. You are asking the exact same question that I am torn over…
      The yoga has a bit of a better screen with the MiniLED, and is for some reason cheaper this year. The legion 7i will come down In price, and is awesome with the 3.2k screen.
      The yoga has slightly better speakers too but the legion has a bit more raw power. It’s a though one.
      If the price was identical I’d probably take the yoga if not doing pure gaming. The legion might get a lot cheaper than the yoga in the long run

    • @TechGuyBeau
      @TechGuyBeau  20 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Battery life isn’t great on the hx chips yeah
      You can help it a lot by disabling a lot of startup apps, I recommend NOT using GeForce experience. Dynamic resolution switch in display mode helps too a lot.
      Windows is a hog and will keep waking up the system
      One other thing: I HIGHLY recommend going into “gaming” settings and telling it which apps to use the iGPU specifically. Windows will constantly wake up the rtx graphics for no reason. This is especially true in internet browsers. Set your browser to specifically use the iGPU and watch your battery life go way up

      Both are great. The 3.2 k screen on the r legion is a great screen. It won’t match the mini LED but it’s amazing anyways. It’s also non glossy
