@@pajownik looks like I'm gonna choose legion, I read multiple qc issues from reddit and some youtube videos with omen 15 such as thermal issues ( ironic because people keep saying omen 15 has the best thermal than legion ), battery issues or even the left fan is whining when laptop at idle
It’s good as consumers that there is a choice between 2 very good laptops, I ended going with the Legion, but if that wasn’t available I would not be upset with the Omen. Great video, lots of information backed by personal experience.
If you're in the UK, seriously consider the Legion 5P with 4800H and 115W 2060. It only comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD, but you can get it for £949 from Curry's eBay store. I added another stick of RAM (16GB total) plus a 2TB m.2 NVMe to mine and it still came out cheaper than the 2060 version of the Omen. Thermals are great, it never throttles, it's very quiet (compared to other gaming laptops) the 144HZ screen has 100% sRGB and a sub 5ms response time and I've recorded the 2060 pulling 120W! In summary it's the best Ryzen based 2060 laptop currently available (and one of the cheapest too) *edit* Forgot to mention that this model also comes with the 80WHr battery. Also the listing incorrectly states that it has WiFi 5, where in fact it comes with WiFi 6.
@@titanspirit7238 Sweet man. Did you get the Ryzen 4800H model? If you search Legion 5P on TH-cam there's a few vids showing upgrades, opening it, etc. Take your time opening it - It's pretty tightly sealed but easy enough.
Great review of both laptops. I was recently burned with buying a Acer Nitro 5 AMD Ryzen 4600h 2020 model. It crashed everytime when I played RTS games so I returned it and got my money back. Im gonna pick up the Lenovo Legion 5 laptop this week. Keep those vids coming, hope ur channel will keep growing.
I have been using hp omen 15 ryzen 7 rtx 2060 for more than a month now and I can say that the hinge is pretty solid flex is never an issue for me it’s very minimal, the screen is superb for content creation and streaming and for gaming it’s just amazing never experienced any screen ghosting or screen tearing.performance was awesome throw any game it can easily run on max settings and thermals where so good cpu avg temps never crossed 80 even after longer gaming session like 7hrs straight...and gpu max temp never even crossed 70 ...avg was always around 65 ...and even after longer gaming sessions keyboard deck and exterior never felt hot it’s just felt warm can touch anywhere comfortably....fan noise wasn’t that loud u won’t even hear it on lite tasks or while streaming..and finally battery is so good I got 9hr Netflix streaming at 50% brightness and still 24% remaining ....only con I felt was bcz of large vents dust may enter easily so frequent cleaning should be done...other than that I’m extremely satisfied with this machine.
I am very interested by your feedback mate as I'm looking at this laptop too, but for content creation, I felt like the 144 hz display was a bit lame when it comes to contrast ratio (tested between 700:1 to 900:1 depending on the video reviews I watched). Can you tell what's your thought on that ?
@@herveamiotphotographyvideo4817 bro I don’t know about the numbers and I don’t have any device to test it but I have a 4K tv and when I compare them side by side it only differed in quality,sharpness and brightness I never felt contrast is low that’s said it’s my opinion ... once watch omen 15 review on ben g Kaiser channel all his videos are about video editing so that may help u.
@@shreyasnaik5885 Yes, it's on sale since yesterday for ₹73,490. It's a 80wh model, with ryzen 5 4600h and 1650 graphics. 1tb 256 ssd. Not sure if that combo works.( There might not be any space for the 80wh, cos the harddrive takes up the space.). They might change the layout, don't knw. I'll get it in 1 week.
@@drrogue it is very loud at high performance if you keep it at default isn't that bad. I haven't find a reason to switch to high performance just yet.
Bought the Omen 15 2020 and so far, the laptop has been perfect, no complaints so far. The little problems people highlighted have been really negligible and are overstated. The legion 5 in my country only comes with GTX 1660 graphic card whereas the Omen 15 comes with RTX 2060 graphic card.
I mean, the problems mentioned here were just mentioned as potentials or its design. Can't really be overexaggerated if it's just be explaining the issue lol. But yeah, Omen 15 w/ 2060 is deff better than the 1660ti legion 5.
@@codeHusky i mean sure but I think it is useful to highlight the degree of the problems specifically like Jarrod (i.e. if it runs hotter than the other, by how much) so that potential buyers might not be too dissuaded because the Omen 15 is also a powerful machine. IMO you can’t go wrong with either.
I'm pretty sure I got across the extent of the differences fairly well, but maybe it wasn't super clear. I'll take another look. And yes, both are pretty similar which is why there's no clear winner at the end of the video. If there was, I would've said so, but I didn't.
@@codeHusky yep. I may not have gotten your point entirely due to the lack of graphs like Jarrod. I just noticed a lot of people are under the misconception that the Legion 5 is way better than the Omen 15 which is not true. I hope people realise the difference is really not significant.
I went with Legion but I gotta say both laptops are great. The thing that made me choose Legion over Omen is that Omen ditched the numpad but overall both are great and would recommend it to anyone!
@@DanyalElia During Black friday sale I was thinking of buying either omen 15 or legion 5 , Legion 5 was a clear winner in terms of performance except for the battery life though . Omen too is a great laptop but legion was showing slightly better performance , so I bought it
I have legion 5 with ryzen 7 4800h and 1660 ti. 16 gb ram. 144 hz display. Pros: -Display is the best. Very much satisfied. -Very Powerful. -Great thermals. Much cooler than other gaming laptops. And runs silent. On perfomance mode, its audible but not disturbing. -great build quality. Keyboard is very good too. Idk if it is durable or not. But for now its great for me. -touchpad is great. -battery runs good about 5 to 6 hours on browsing movies etc with hybrid mode OFF! With ON, it is about 3 hours. CONS: The major con that might force you not to buy is that faulty driver updates. I dont think the drivers work good with all the softwares and games. There are some micro stutters in games a lot. In future it might be fixed. But intel is better in this category. Its drivers work really good with all the softwares n games. Other than this. I haven't found a fault. Its perfect for me. Idk about you!
Keep up, good work. Next reviews do thermals, bench various game engines, check if vbios is flashable(as in rtx2060 from 90 to 115w),mux, bios customization,opinion on futureproofing, changing factory paste if any improvement,performance after an year(thermals, did they fixed v1.00 problem if they exist etc..) and those kind of stuff are still not covered by other guys that do laptop reviews.
after all the reviews and stuff i ordered legion 5 with rtx 2060 upgrading from Hp probook g3 6th gen i5 with amd r7 thanks for your reviews and many other TH-camrs i watched to make the decision
Thank you for this comparison! I bought the Omen before watching this but I am getting sooo frusturated with the omen fan running all the time and it just doesn't sound good... so I'm returning it as soon as my legion gets here! I am sad to be losing the rainbow keyboard though
Either way is a beast! My omen has been running strong since launch.. same specs.. added another 1tb ssd myself, happy! Its gonna be 71 Whr guy below vvv
@@whoishim2998 had the 1660ti 16gb for like 5 months. It is solid! Look into turning off core boost for if you want low 70C temps for a performance cut. Cpu stays at 2.9ghz and low temps without 4.2 ghz core boost
Very nice comparison of the best money for performance laptops. So legion 5 has hissing headphone jack? I read this can be fixed changing Network & Internet Settings. Optimus can be disabled with intel version on hp. In the end it's a question if you can stomach the keypad on legion. Legion is better priced so it comes down to budget.
Is it worth to buy a Legion 5 with a 4800H now, seeing that the Ryzen 5000 laptop cpu's are popping up but its unclear when they will be available. I'm ready to jump on a Legion 5 with a 2060, but was wondering if the wait is better. But i suppose that wait could be a couple to 4 or 5 months. What would you do in my place? Oh, and subbed, good video! 👍🏻
One thing I dislike in the current Lenovo models is the circle power button. They seem to wear quickly in my experience. I have two Thinkpads, E585 & E595. Both power buttons became kinda loose after more than a year. As for HP, they have too many of their own utilities: HP support assistant, jumpstart, command centre, light studio etc. With Lenovo I only need Vantage & service bridge.
Summary for me: Omen and legion almost the same performance. Thermal is also almost the same that it doesn't affect much. The screen is almost the same but legion 5 is slightly faster. If you want best performance and cheap: get legion 5 If you want a clean design and don't mind paying another 100-200$ then get omen If your country only has one of the two devices only then get what you can. Personally I prefer legion 5 because of its price. But I also prefer the omen design over the legion. The ports on the legion is just better than the omen
Just buy whichever is cheaper atm. The difference is minimal and honestly you cant go wrong with either one. I bought the exact same omen 15 because it was cheaper than legion 5 and it is an absolute beast. But now that the sale is over, i would say go for legion 5.
Hey man, great video! I've bought an hp omen 15-en0009nl a couple of days ago, but I'm having many issues with it, both software-wise and hardware-wise. One of this is that the cool air only comes from the left side which makes it uncomfortable to use the right side of the keyboard. It's almost like the right fan doesn't work at all. Is this normal for this laptop?
I feel like I'm cheating on my blade stealth while watching this video, SINCE I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH!!, But these chicks ain't bad..both seems quite good..would have picked up one of these babies if it wasn't for meeting my main chick, my soulmate, and my future, and my thermal throttling nightmares with razer :).. LAPTOO GOOODDSS PLS HEAL MY THERMALLSSSS... I SHALL SACRIFISE ANY NUMBER IF LAPTOPSS!! .ok bye, awesome video btw. Best comparison imo.. But well, we all knew the winner from the start, you made that clear to us already. Nice of you to give both laptops to go back and forth with each other again
Hello! I am looking to buy a laptop that is good for music production and also gaming, and I have stumbled upon these two. Which audio technology would be best? Also, with the music production as my priority, should I go for the AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel i7? Please note that I am not playing video games for too much. Legion 5: Dolby Atmos HD Audio Harman Kardon Omen: DTS HP Audio Boost Bang & Olufsen Omen Audio Control Support DTS:X® Ultra Thanks!
Hi buddy. I bought HP omen 15 R5 5600h RTX 3060 8gig ram version yesterday, it's a really nice and powerful laptop, just the screen is a little flexible, I need to pay attention to it. When I lean to the right with the fan speed around 2900 RPM, there is a high-pitched sound, what do you think is the reason?
well nowadays you can find affordable more budget like legion with 16 gigs ram,rtx 2060 1 tb ssd ryzen 7 but I'm honestly very good with intel i5 or i7 with are cheaper,also you can buy relatively cheqp s7 which is aluminium made , I'm good with plastic thou ,for buyers pay attention for display refresh rate many sellers forget to mention that if its very cheap its probably the 60 hz refresh rate ,go for 144 one ,the i5 its a little bit hgiher on temperature but not so high so better is a i7 or ryzen 7 thanks for review thou 💪🏻
You make great videos bro, good job Just as a suggestion, i would rather you use better colours for laptop backgrounds that shows the screens in a better way! Anyway, thank you. I ordered the legion 5 1660ti after watching yours and others videos about it:)
Hi. I'm planning on getting this legion 5 for Christmas. I'm using for roblox games and studying and zoom call. Can this laptop do this? Also should I get AMD or Intel processor? I have experience in using both processor. What should I get for this laptop? Pls reply soon, nice video. Thx bye.....
BTW I was able to fix the backlight issue of the Omen. Just needs a couple of tweaks for the AMD and screen's driver at Device Manager. So it's not completely unfixable its just an annoying issue since it occurs from time to time
So what is this backlight display problem?; its hard to search because you get hits on keyboard backlight. I have the 8gb Omen. How do you teat for the problem?
Bought a legion 5 about a month ago, and I've noticed a strange noise when the fans are not spinning. It's like an old hard drive sound. But it's ssd only. Do you think it's defective? Thank you
i got the legion 5 with Ryzen 7 4800h and RTX 2060, im glad i made the decision to buy this laptop. The only negative side is the 120hz screen but it doesn't bother me at all.
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 Yes it is, I've never tried gaming without keeping the laptop pluged in but i would say that it won't last for a long time, the battery isn't the best.
@@adrianhomisch5879 Alright good to know. Also how is the keyboard? I hear some people complain that it isn’t too good. Just in general from writing a paper to gaming, how does it hold up?
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 imo it's one of the best chiclet keyboards I've used in a gaming laptop, but how much you like or dislike a particular keyboard is fairly subjective
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 My Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800H rtx2060 will arrive tomorrow. But from my experience with Legion Y520 and ASUS Rog Strix, I can tell you that Lenovo keyboard feels better. Not sure about other quality though. It is by no mean ASUS Rog Strix's is bad, but it is just lenovo's is too good. I did not realize until I use other brands for some time. Legion 5 is also a few models that keep Numpad and does not have very small arrow keys so this is a plus. On the other hand, ROG Strix does not come with Numpad and has too small arrow keys so you see how other brands screwed up with keyboard layout.
I want to get the omen as I want a more slimmer but still a bit gaming laptop, I’m going to uni in a couple months and I’ll be using it there. Do you possibly have any other slim gaming laptops that you might advise?
With reviews I'm seeing for the Legion 5, I'm tempted to get the 2060/Ryzen 7 variant for $1100. With the 3000 series laptops coming out, is that a good move or should I wait for a next gen 3060? I still haven't seen any benchmarks for the mobile 3060 so I'm not sure about the performance difference or the price difference. I think the new Legion 5 has the same Ryzen 4800h cpu as the 2020 model.
get the 144hz screen variant. high levels of color accuracy and they advertise it to have no ghosting or delays. not too expensive as well. also if u want an RGB keyboard you gotta option it. its like 20 or 30 USD. i have the 120hz screen with i7 and gtx 1650 variant but im not too competitive in competive sports but even this model is very precise while playing pubg but u wont like the color accuracy its 68% something. also max brightness is lower than some of the competition if that matters to you
I have just bought the Legion 5P RTX2060 4800H. I am amazed how good it is. My last Laptop was an ASUS GX502GW with RTX 2070 32GB RAM and I7 9750H. That cost me £2300 just over a year ago but I spilt a drink on it. I then decided not to spend that much again. Instead I spent £899 on this. In gaming I can hardly notice the difference between the 2. The legion has much better thermals. I have added a 1TB NVME and ordered another 8GB of RAM. At the moment with only 8GB RAM it performs flawlessly. I cannot recommend the Legion 5 enough. Bargain.
I don't know if you answered this before but does the Legion 5 support any CL14 or CL16 3200mhz RAM? I know Ryzen performs better with faster RAM but I would like to if it would make a difference from the RAM the laptop comes with?
Refunding the lenovo legion 7i (after a disastrous talk with my parents about yet another tech product that's being sent off) finally! Would you recommend the razer blade 15 base with a gtx 1660ti (same spec as legion 7i),as it is on offer for £1150 instead of £1700?

hey bro, I'm a student and i need some help finding a laptop, need one that can run Solidworks but also a bit of light gaming, I have a budget of £800 any recommendations
The only recommendation on this budget is the ACER NITRO 5 4600h and you buy later another 8 or 16 GB Ram. I have 24 Gb in asynchronous dual channel. And later 1 Tb ssd. Acer has some discounts for students, on the Acer website.
this variant of legion 5 will be a little less than 765£ and i believe it does ship globally, so you might want to check it out, good luck^^ , i am also on the hunt for a performance laptop and a bit of light gaming and i chose to buy this one, im waiting for blackfriday sales to get more specs and maybe accessories.
for solidworks you definitely do not need graphic card, so I suggest you the 1650 GTX, also check out thinkbook series at lower prices without gpu, ( unless you want to do some gaming then Legion 5, 4600H, GTX1650 or legion 5, 4800H same graphic card may work) also keep in mind the lenovo gives around 15% off for students I bought by this from Lenovo website (it 930€ I bought it around 820€ ) and it arrived at my doorstep in less than 18h after purchase

Hi! I have this issue with my ryzen 7 4800H legion 5 laptop. When I am recording an app using the xbox game bar built into windows, the recorded clip's colour will turn out to be very washed out, like as if u +10 to the gamma. light greys will become white. dark grey become light grey. highlights in the video will become blown out. Weird thing is that it only happens when hybrid mode is on and igpu is utilised. When hybrid mode is off, the recorded clip is perfect. Would you be able to test it with your AMD ryzen 7 4800H laptops to see if it's a legion problem or AMD problem. Never had this issue happen at all when using intel laptops!
Lenovo is offering the Legion 5 in it's website with the same specs except for an RTX 2060 card for $1100. How do you think that will be thermal wise?? Will that run much hotter? Is this model worth buying because of the existence of the higher gpu card variant?

I am very interested by your feedback mate as I'm looking at this laptop too, but for content creation, I felt like the 144 hz display was a bit lame when it comes to contrast ratio (tested between 700:1 to 900:1 depending on the video reviews I watched). Can you tell what's your thought on that ?
@@herveamiotphotographyvideo4817 bro I don’t know about the numbers and I don’t have any device to test it but I have a 4K tv and when I compare them side by side it only differed in quality,sharpness and brightness I never felt contrast is low that’s said it’s my opinion ... once watch omen 15 review on ben g Kaiser channel all his videos are about video editing so that may help u.
@@jayadithyanalajala9604 Thanks for your input
You would of been more happy with the Lenovo Legion and money saved...

Wow! Thank you for reiterating hinge thickness on Legion 5 15" being rock solid as this is an issue with majority of new laptops out there. Thanks!
Finally Ordered the Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800H model in 2021🤩. Waited for 9 months to buy this beast.
Same.. my unit is on its way
I just did the same. Next week it should arrive!
How much dod it cost I got the ryzen 5 one with 80whr model for 71k
@@skarrin6207 I purchased the Ryzen 7 1650ti variant for 86k.
80 Whr variant is available in India ?
@@shreyasnaik5885 Yes, it's on sale since yesterday for ₹73,490.
It's a 80wh model, with ryzen 5 4600h and 1650 graphics.
1tb 256 ssd.
Not sure if that combo works.( There might not be any space for the 80wh, cos the harddrive takes up the space.).
They might change the layout, don't knw.
I'll get it in 1 week.
Lenovo don't seem to do the Legion 5 with R7 4800H and GTX1660 Ti in the UK so I got the Omen. Absolutely no regrets, fantastic machine.
hey man is ur omen 15 any good > im gonna buy 1 so just curious
wow, i instantly subscribed early in the video, that's a really good and detailed review , keep it up man ❤️
Much appreciated!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AWESOME REVIEW. IT HELP ME TO MAKE A WISE DECISION BETWEEN BOTH LAPTOPS. I DEFINITELY WENT WITH THE OMEN! AWESOME LAPTOP
How bad is the fan noise?
@@drrogue it is very loud at high performance if you keep it at default isn't that bad. I haven't find a reason to switch to high performance just yet.
Now this is a review.
Bought the Omen 15 2020 and so far, the laptop has been perfect, no complaints so far. The little problems people highlighted have been really negligible and are overstated. The legion 5 in my country only comes with GTX 1660 graphic card whereas the Omen 15 comes with RTX 2060 graphic card.
I mean, the problems mentioned here were just mentioned as potentials or its design. Can't really be overexaggerated if it's just be explaining the issue lol.
But yeah, Omen 15 w/ 2060 is deff better than the 1660ti legion 5.
@@codeHusky i mean sure but I think it is useful to highlight the degree of the problems specifically like Jarrod (i.e. if it runs hotter than the other, by how much) so that potential buyers might not be too dissuaded because the Omen 15 is also a powerful machine. IMO you can’t go wrong with either.
I'm pretty sure I got across the extent of the differences fairly well, but maybe it wasn't super clear. I'll take another look. And yes, both are pretty similar which is why there's no clear winner at the end of the video. If there was, I would've said so, but I didn't.
@@codeHusky yep. I may not have gotten your point entirely due to the lack of graphs like Jarrod. I just noticed a lot of people are under the misconception that the Legion 5 is way better than the Omen 15 which is not true. I hope people realise the difference is really not significant.
Ty this is the review I was looking for
I went with Legion but I gotta say both laptops are great. The thing that made me choose Legion over Omen is that Omen ditched the numpad but overall both are great and would recommend it to anyone!
Thanks man you are so honest thats why i like u
After Your and Jarrods Review , I Chose to take Legion 5 Thank You 🙂 for such great reviews
May I ask why?
@@DanyalElia During Black friday sale I was thinking of buying either omen 15 or legion 5 , Legion 5 was a clear winner in terms of performance except for the battery life though . Omen too is a great laptop but legion was showing slightly better performance , so I bought it
@@shahrukhsyed2413 lmao
@@shahrukhsyed2413 good choice
I want to know what do you think about the rubberized palm rest, do you think it is well built and will last long?
I have legion 5 with ryzen 7 4800h and 1660 ti. 16 gb ram. 144 hz display.
Pros:
-Display is the best. Very much satisfied.
-Very Powerful.
-Great thermals. Much cooler than other gaming laptops. And runs silent. On perfomance mode, its audible but not disturbing.
-great build quality. Keyboard is very good too. Idk if it is durable or not. But for now its great for me.
-touchpad is great.
-battery runs good about 5 to 6 hours on browsing movies etc with hybrid mode OFF! With ON, it is about 3 hours.
CONS:
The major con that might force you not to buy is that faulty driver updates. I dont think the drivers work good with all the softwares and games. There are some micro stutters in games a lot.
In future it might be fixed. But intel is better in this category. Its drivers work really good with all the softwares n games.
Other than this. I haven't found a fault.
Its perfect for me. Idk about you!
Keep up, good work.
Next reviews do thermals, bench various game engines, check if vbios is flashable(as in rtx2060 from 90 to 115w),mux, bios customization,opinion on futureproofing, changing factory paste if any improvement,performance after an year(thermals, did they fixed v1.00 problem if they exist etc..) and those kind of stuff are still not covered by other guys that do laptop reviews.
after all the reviews and stuff i ordered legion 5 with rtx 2060
upgrading from Hp probook g3 6th gen i5 with amd r7
thanks for your reviews and many other TH-camrs i watched to make the decision
Much needed comparison. Thanks a lot man
Thank you for this comparison! I bought the Omen before watching this but I am getting sooo frusturated with the omen fan running all the time and it just doesn't sound good... so I'm returning it as soon as my legion gets here! I am sad to be losing the rainbow keyboard though
Update your drivers and install the omen gaming hub to check your fan settings. I own the Omen and the fan is off or really quiet most of the time.
@@GordonSeal any issues with ur omen so far?
@@ronal6300 nope
@@farithrosh i also got omen with the rtx 2060 could you also provide ur specs

Thank you for this great video 😊
I ordered omen 15 this morning. Hope it's worth it. 4800h, 1660ti and 16 gigs for 1100$
Which website,can you send me the link please
Either way is a beast! My omen has been running strong since launch.. same specs.. added another 1tb ssd myself, happy! Its gonna be 71 Whr guy below vvv
How has it been I just ordered the 4800 with rtx
@@whoishim2998 had the 1660ti 16gb for like 5 months. It is solid! Look into turning off core boost for if you want low 70C temps for a performance cut. Cpu stays at 2.9ghz and low temps without 4.2 ghz core boost
I just got mine with same specs but with a rtx2060 instead, it's my first gaming laptop too so I'm pretty pumped!
Love your vids
In my country the legion 5 r7 1660 ti is the same price as hp omen r7 2060, which one should i buy?
id say the legion is a safer option but the omen might have better performance
Very nice comparison of the best money for performance laptops. So legion 5 has hissing headphone jack? I read this can be fixed changing Network & Internet Settings. Optimus can be disabled with intel version on hp. In the end it's a question if you can stomach the keypad on legion. Legion is better priced so it comes down to budget.
I am confuse. I read and watch many review on Omen 15 have the best thermal better than Legion 5. But now you and Jarrod say Omen worse😅
Same. This is confusing asf
There's nothing to see here
Is it worth to buy a Legion 5 with a 4800H now, seeing that the Ryzen 5000 laptop cpu's are popping up but its unclear when they will be available. I'm ready to jump on a Legion 5 with a 2060, but was wondering if the wait is better. But i suppose that wait could be a couple to 4 or 5 months. What would you do in my place? Oh, and subbed, good video! 👍🏻
I am waiting for the same
waiting gang always win!🤣
Love my Omen 15 with 1660ti + 4800H. No issue with backlight control.
One thing I dislike in the current Lenovo models is the circle power button. They seem to wear quickly in my experience. I have two Thinkpads, E585 & E595. Both power buttons became kinda loose after more than a year.
As for HP, they have too many of their own utilities: HP support assistant, jumpstart, command centre, light studio etc. With Lenovo I only need Vantage & service bridge.
Summary for me:
Omen and legion almost the same performance.
Thermal is also almost the same that it doesn't affect much.
The screen is almost the same but legion 5 is slightly faster.
If you want best performance and cheap: get legion 5
If you want a clean design and don't mind paying another 100-200$ then get omen
If your country only has one of the two devices only then get what you can.
Personally I prefer legion 5 because of its price. But I also prefer the omen design over the legion. The ports on the legion is just better than the omen
Just buy whichever is cheaper atm. The difference is minimal and honestly you cant go wrong with either one. I bought the exact same omen 15 because it was cheaper than legion 5 and it is an absolute beast. But now that the sale is over, i would say go for legion 5.
thanks for great vid ...which keyboard did you like better (feel, travel and spacing)??? thx!
Just subscribed!
Thank you! I caught so many in-depth details! Do you know whether FreeSync works only in Hybrid mode or in dGPU only mode too?
Omen at its best 💥❤️
I think in India legion and omen are at same price but i buy legion because of durability and that 60 hz screen configuration
Im with omen 17 2080 super and 10750h cpu, love it!
why the hell legion is actually more expensive in my country tho?
Same, the US people are so lucky :')
Hey man, great video! I've bought an hp omen 15-en0009nl a couple of days ago, but I'm having many issues with it, both software-wise and hardware-wise. One of this is that the cool air only comes from the left side which makes it uncomfortable to use the right side of the keyboard. It's almost like the right fan doesn't work at all. Is this normal for this laptop?
It's normal, this laptop have 2 fans, one is for the cpu and one for the graphics, therefore only the cpu fan works normally
@@danielgr7606 This right here ^^
I feel like I'm cheating on my blade stealth while watching this video, SINCE I LOVE IT SO MUCHHH!!, But these chicks ain't bad..both seems quite good..would have picked up one of these babies if it wasn't for meeting my main chick, my soulmate, and my future, and my thermal throttling nightmares with razer :)..
LAPTOO GOOODDSS PLS HEAL MY THERMALLSSSS... I SHALL SACRIFISE ANY NUMBER IF LAPTOPSS!!
.ok bye, awesome video btw. Best comparison imo.. But well, we all knew the winner from the start, you made that clear to us already. Nice of you to give both laptops to go back and forth with each other again
this review led me to get the Legion 5.
How is your experience in legion
5? Do you recommend it?
Hello!
I am looking to buy a laptop that is good for music production and also gaming, and I have stumbled upon these two. Which audio technology would be best? Also, with the music production as my priority, should I go for the AMD Ryzen 7 or Intel i7?
Please note that I am not playing video games for too much.
Legion 5:
Dolby Atmos
HD Audio
Harman Kardon
Omen:
DTS
HP Audio Boost
Bang & Olufsen
Omen Audio Control Support DTS:X® Ultra
Thanks!
Hi buddy. I bought HP omen 15 R5 5600h RTX 3060 8gig ram version yesterday, it's a really nice and powerful laptop, just the screen is a little flexible, I need to pay attention to it. When I lean to the right with the fan speed around 2900 RPM, there is a high-pitched sound, what do you think is the reason?
You changed my mind I was gonna get the omen but now I think legion is better choice.
well nowadays you can find affordable more budget like legion with 16 gigs ram,rtx 2060 1 tb ssd ryzen 7 but I'm honestly very good with intel i5 or i7 with are cheaper,also you can buy relatively cheqp s7 which is aluminium made , I'm good with plastic thou ,for buyers pay attention for display refresh rate many sellers forget to mention that if its very cheap its probably the 60 hz refresh rate ,go for 144 one ,the i5 its a little bit hgiher on temperature but not so high so better is a i7 or ryzen 7
thanks for review thou 💪🏻
You make great videos bro, good job
Just as a suggestion, i would rather you use better colours for laptop backgrounds that shows the screens in a better way!
Anyway, thank you. I ordered the legion 5 1660ti after watching yours and others videos about it:)
Hi. I'm planning on getting this legion 5 for Christmas. I'm using for roblox games and studying and zoom call. Can this laptop do this?
Also should I get AMD or Intel processor? I have experience in using both processor. What should I get for this laptop?
Pls reply soon, nice video. Thx bye.....
BTW I was able to fix the backlight issue of the Omen. Just needs a couple of tweaks for the AMD and screen's driver at Device Manager. So it's not completely unfixable its just an annoying issue since it occurs from time to time
That was stuff I tried. Didn't help
So what is this backlight display problem?; its hard to search because you get hits on keyboard backlight. I have the 8gb Omen. How do you teat for the problem?
@@dawger I think so too. It happened after I installed the AMD graphics driver for the iGPU.
plz suggest me which laptops to buy lenovo legion 5 R7 rtx 3060 or asus rog strix g15 R7 rtx 3060 or dell g15 rtx 3060 or hp omen R7 rtx 3060 ????
Bought a legion 5 about a month ago, and I've noticed a strange noise when the fans are not spinning. It's like an old hard drive sound. But it's ssd only. Do you think it's defective? Thank you
Probably just coil whine from the high watt processor
i got the legion 5 with Ryzen 7 4800h and RTX 2060, im glad i made the decision to buy this laptop. The only negative side is the 120hz screen but it doesn't bother me at all.
So is the Ryzen variant the better option? What’s the battery life while playing games?
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 Yes it is, I've never tried gaming without keeping the laptop pluged in but i would say that it won't last for a long time, the battery isn't the best.
@@adrianhomisch5879 Alright good to know. Also how is the keyboard? I hear some people complain that it isn’t too good. Just in general from writing a paper to gaming, how does it hold up?
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 imo it's one of the best chiclet keyboards I've used in a gaming laptop, but how much you like or dislike a particular keyboard is fairly subjective
@@windowsxpwallpaper5851 My Legion 5 Ryzen 7 4800H rtx2060 will arrive tomorrow. But from my experience with Legion Y520 and ASUS Rog Strix, I can tell you that Lenovo keyboard feels better. Not sure about other quality though. It is by no mean ASUS Rog Strix's is bad, but it is just lenovo's is too good. I did not realize until I use other brands for some time.
Legion 5 is also a few models that keep Numpad and does not have very small arrow keys so this is a plus. On the other hand, ROG Strix does not come with Numpad and has too small arrow keys so you see how other brands screwed up with keyboard layout.
I know this is kinda late but I think the deal is still on for the legion 5 with ryzen and a 1tb SSD and am rtx 2060 for $1k
I can't buy AMD ones so with intel 7 which would be better? 🥺
I'm confused. I read the legion 5 doesn't support freesync
I want to get the omen as I want a more slimmer but still a bit gaming laptop, I’m going to uni in a couple months and I’ll be using it there. Do you possibly have any other slim gaming laptops that you might advise?
With reviews I'm seeing for the Legion 5, I'm tempted to get the 2060/Ryzen 7 variant for $1100. With the 3000 series laptops coming out, is that a good move or should I wait for a next gen 3060? I still haven't seen any benchmarks for the mobile 3060 so I'm not sure about the performance difference or the price difference. I think the new Legion 5 has the same Ryzen 4800h cpu as the 2020 model.
I can tell you that the Ryzen 5000 and GTX 3000 series version will be quite a bit more expensive, but will offer better performance. Tradeoff
Im looking forward to getting the legion 5, do you think it will be good for competitive gameplay?
get the 144hz screen variant. high levels of color accuracy and they advertise it to have no ghosting or delays. not too expensive as well. also if u want an RGB keyboard you gotta option it. its like 20 or 30 USD. i have the 120hz screen with i7 and gtx 1650 variant but im not too competitive in competive sports but even this model is very precise while playing pubg but u wont like the color accuracy its 68% something. also max brightness is lower than some of the competition if that matters to you
I have just bought the Legion 5P RTX2060 4800H. I am amazed how good it is. My last Laptop was an ASUS GX502GW with RTX 2070 32GB RAM and I7 9750H. That cost me £2300 just over a year ago but I spilt a drink on it. I then decided not to spend that much again. Instead I spent £899 on this. In gaming I can hardly notice the difference between the 2. The legion has much better thermals. I have added a 1TB NVME and ordered another 8GB of RAM. At the moment with only 8GB RAM it performs flawlessly. I cannot recommend the Legion 5 enough. Bargain.
I was wondering what would be a better buy between Legion 5, (I7 10 Gen 2060) or Hp Omen 15 AMD RYZEN 7 4800h 1660ti? (They are the same price?)
If you don't mind me asking, what do you think about the 17 inch variant of the lenovo legion 5?
It's a bit underwhelming. Just the 15" parts but in a 17" chassis for the most part.
@2:34 referring to 4 zone rgb on the omen mysteriously your omen has a num pad?? Is that an older omen? even track pad is different
Uhh it says on the top left that it’s “not the same laptop, and it’s used for a reference.” So idk why you asking this question
@@T3knomi lol
I don't know if you answered this before but does the Legion 5 support any CL14 or CL16 3200mhz RAM? I know Ryzen performs better with faster RAM but I would like to if it would make a difference from the RAM the laptop comes with?
If it requires XMP support then it does not. Needs 3200 jedec or it won't work
Black aluminium is a pain in the ass to clean...
Refunding the lenovo legion 7i (after a disastrous talk with my parents about yet another tech product that's being sent off) finally! Would you recommend the razer blade 15 base with a gtx 1660ti (same spec as legion 7i),as it is on offer for £1150 instead of £1700?
Nah, Razer base models really suck and Razer itself has pretty poor quality internals / quality control. Would advise looking elsewhere.
liked this video. but how do you on/off free sync? Which version of AMD software have you installed? Need your help.
Any version of the radeon software. Just start it up and navigate to the display settings, then enable freesync. If the option isn't enabled you may need to reboot

hey bro, I'm a student and i need some help finding a laptop, need one that can run Solidworks but also a bit of light gaming, I have a budget of £800 any recommendations
The only recommendation on this budget is the ACER NITRO 5 4600h and you buy later another 8 or 16 GB Ram. I have 24 Gb in asynchronous dual channel. And later 1 Tb ssd. Acer has some discounts for students, on the Acer website.
this variant of legion 5 will be a little less than 765£ and i believe it does ship globally, so you might want to check it out, good luck^^ , i am also on the hunt for a performance laptop and a bit of light gaming and i chose to buy this one, im waiting for blackfriday sales to get more specs and maybe accessories.
I wood suggest save a little more and the the legion 5 ... the difference will be way better
for solidworks you definitely do not need graphic card, so I suggest you the 1650 GTX, also check out thinkbook series at lower prices without gpu, ( unless you want to do some gaming then Legion 5, 4600H, GTX1650 or legion 5, 4800H same graphic card may work) also keep in mind the lenovo gives around 15% off for students I bought by this from Lenovo website (it 930€ I bought it around 820€ ) and it arrived at my doorstep in less than 18h after purchase
If you still need a laptop then maybe the acer Swift 3

Hey, i discovered quite a bug on omen 15, whenever you have external display connected with mini display port and put your pc to sleep and then wake it up, the wifi card is disconnected and os can't discover it, could you please be kind and investigate since you have the laptop? If it's global issue hp needs to fix this.
Don't have the Omen anymore unfortunately.
HP omen 15 ryzen + rtx combination was so perfect and suddenly a random fool in hp decided to make the edges sharp. I am now using it to cut onions xD
It's awesome. Never had experience with lenovo laptops ☹️

Hi! I have this issue with my ryzen 7 4800H legion 5 laptop.
When I am recording an app using the xbox game bar built into windows, the recorded clip's colour will turn out to be very washed out, like as if u +10 to the gamma. light greys will become white. dark grey become light grey. highlights in the video will become blown out.
Weird thing is that it only happens when hybrid mode is on and igpu is utilised. When hybrid mode is off, the recorded clip is perfect.
Would you be able to test it with your AMD ryzen 7 4800H laptops to see if it's a legion problem or AMD problem. Never had this issue happen at all when using intel laptops!
Can you help me decide guys..which is better?
Legion 5 or Legion 5i
legion 5
Is there an rtx 2060 version of the legion 5 amd version? Are the thermals good for that model?
There is a 2060 model, yes. I'm not aware of it's thermal performance
I also noticed that the 1660 ti model seems to be more popular. Even though the price range is similar between the two. Do you know why that is?
The 1660ti model has existed for much longer
Ah, thanks for the info! Best laptop tech channel!
It is possible to have 1 monitor connected to this laptop in addition to having a capture device connected?
Should I get the Ryzen 5000 series Legion 5?
Omen's flex is not an issue...I have it and I don't think u need to worry about its durability.
Lenovo is offering the Legion 5 in it's website with the same specs except for an RTX 2060 card for $1100. How do you think that will be thermal wise?? Will that run much hotter? Is this model worth buying because of the existence of the higher gpu card variant?
A couple of people in Reddit says that it runs fine and the fan noise isn't noticeable even during gaming around mid-high 40 decibles and thermals are around 69c if I remember correctly
@@recon12803 Alright then. Ordering the Lenovo. It's pricing puts the omen 15 in a very tight spot.
@@nazeefhossain678 just make sure to double check my info as I'm going off on memory and you should always validate my claims
Edit: just look on the lenovo and amd subreddits
@@nazeefhossain678 it shows they re out of stock for me
@@doomslayer4276 In the US, it's still available.
The Legion intel 2060 version is about $2700 in Australia, the Razor 15 is also $2700 running on i7 rtx2070. Which one is more value for money? Thanks
I'd opt for the legion as it will likely have better game performance
@@codeHusky thanks Code! Much appreciated:)
I'm on my second legion 5p AMD Ryzen 4800 Rtx 2060, my fans make high pitch noise when gaming, does yours sound like that like whistling under load
Did you ever find a solution. That very reason has me on the fence
I have the hp pavilion gaming15 (R5 4600h) there aren't any performance profiles to choose in...what can i do to simulate different performance modes?
I know this is nitpicking but I wish the arrow keys on the legion were flush with the rest of the keys.. it looks odd to me :( the Omen layout just looks so much better.. also should have had rgb instead of just white backlight..
Hello. Can you help me to pick the right one.
I will use the laptop for3-4 years for CAD working and little video editing. And I need to take it to work every day
