Seriously, so glad i found your channal. I found it while reviews of the Yoga slim 7. Really wanted the Yoga slim 7 pro with the ryzen 9 4900h bacause of its 90hz display, 16:10 aspect ratio, better performance and higher resolution but couldn't find it anywhere. So i went for the normal yoga slim 7 after your review and I love it!
@@w2best Hopefully it'll be easier to get in 2021. I considered waiting but I had to order fast if I wanted the 4800u model of the Yoga slim 7, which had very limited sipply here in Norway and is now impossible to get. But super happy with the laptop and the performance of the 4800u. Btw you're definetly the person on youtube with the best selection in laptops that I've come across. You don't have the biggest selection but the best choises in which of them you use and review.
@@Halvor00 I still haven't tried the 4800u but maybe that will happen sometime. :) Thank you so much!! I try my best but still I am a small channel and I have to buy all the units I want to review.
Something to add for college/grad students, as machine learning and data analytics are increasingly emphasized in study/research, a strong Nvidia GPU would be a big plus for a laptop; it can run CUDA-supported linear algebra libraries and ML frameworks like Pytorch and Tensorflow.
Thanks! I think that's great input and there are a few 14" that pack a powerful gpu, mainly the Asus G14 and the MSI prestige 14. Those would be my top options if you need a powerful gpu on the go.
Very nice overview of the things that you should consider when buying a laptop. I noticed that many people do not consider the issues you mentioned but simply buy one with some good reviews.
This video was really helpful I have watched around 12 videos before I come to this one and none of them helped me as this video to decide which size I'm going to buy thank you so much 🙂❤
cant decide between 15,6 inch and 14 inch lenovo ideapad flex 5 , i wil use it mostly to draw but 100$ difference in price is it worth for this 3 cm more
So I found 2 laptops with the exact same specs, the Dell Vostro 3401 and 3501; the only difference being the screen size. My priority is upgradability and performance over portability. To help me decide, I read a few articles, which said that upgrading a 14-inch laptop vs 15-inch would cause more heating due to the compact design. Further, I read that an FHD screen looks better on a 15-inch rather than a 14-inch, in terms of text and image sharpness. Do you agree? What would you pick in this case? Please help.
In terms of upgradability dell usually has more upgradeable parts in the 15" but the last generation of inspiron 14 has extra SSD slots which is pretty amaizing. When it comes to screen I think 14" is much better because of the reason you say. Full HD is better in 14 than 15 because the bigger the screen the bigger the pixels and the more pixelation you might see. But I have a full HD 15" and you really get used to it. Now I'm trying the Quad HD 14" Matebook 14 and that's when you realize what you've been missing out on! :)
@@w2best thank you very much for your response. Yes, I thought the same too. But I find that text appears a lot larger on the 14" on browsers and stuff. On the 15" that I was using earlier, I could zoom in and out to resize text to my suitability, but I find that I'm unable to zoom out on the 14". Have you experienced this? Also, I find that the extra sharp display with PWM could hurt my eyes since I use it for long hours. Apologies for the trouble.
Do you have any thoughts on the heating of the device? I think there is a notion that the larger the size, the cooler it would be, just because of the space.
@@steaksauz Oh I think this is due to windows scaling? This you could easily change! My laptop came with 150 and I now run it at 125% which is much better imo! Try it out!

Great detailed video, almost "mind-reading" good. This is my biggest dilemma. I just can't accept the 14 inch laptop (my work t490) and can't wait to go back to my old 15,6 inch 1366x768p laptop at the end of every work day. The ONLY reason I can convince myself to change this lapop is because of this old, low nits, low res screen. First, there is no number pad on the 14'' and even though I use the num pad less than 5 times a day, it pisses me off when I don't have it. Also, for the 14'', you will have to increase the scalling anyway, so you end up with a smaller screen for similar resolution. Too bad the 15'' laptop is getting snubbed by manufacturers producing popular AMD laptops :(
yes 15" and AMD is really not popular for some reason... But that might change 2021. You prefer such a low res screen! Maybe just get an external one for it too? :)
Yeah some how that old TN screen is so easy on my eyes. But the clock is ticking and I will need to upgrade the laptop to at least 1080p on 15 inch. Yes I have a 24 inch 1080p monitor 🙂
@@diyroby732 I would almost prefer a matte tn screen over a glossy ips... My old GS73VR had a TN screen and I loved it! It was very wide viewing angle though. Fast response 120hz :)
Great video. I'm going back to grad school and struggling to decide between a 14" & 15" YOGA. I like larger screen of 15" but I'll be toting the PC around for 2 years. (on top of carrying my work laptop too). Hmmm, do I want to carry a 15.6" around?!
The 15 inch laptops do come with a better graphics card such as nvidia geforce gtx/rtx which are very good for gaming. Unlike the 14 inch which nowadays come with the intel iris xe or the intel evo graphics card which is simply not the best for games.
Thank you for this video! I now landed on buying av 15 inch ( or 15.6) inch laptop. I am looking to buy a laptop for homeuse mainly. I sometines need to do lots of writing and some photoediting inbetween. No gaming. I consider not to spend ca 6000 SEK. I live in Sweden. Is this Dell inspiron 7000 a good choice then? Or do you perhaps have some other suggestions what laptop that could works for my needs. It would be great, since this is somewhat a jungle to me :-)
Great video as usual, could you make a review of the Huawei Matebook 14 AMD ? I think that given the quality-price ratio is one of the best laptops you can get out there at the moment.
I would prefer a 14 inch regardless of it being more portable for travel or not becaue the numerical keypad on the 15.6 inch laptop forces me to shif to the left when I am typing ( a lot). Often I would enter the wrong letter, very annoying to me. It is imposible I think to buy a 15.6 in laptop without the numerical keypad unless you want an Mac laptop. But in the end, I bought the 15.6 with full HD because I process a lot of photos. But, next laptop, 14 in is for me.
Great video. 👏👏 been busy to buy a 14 inch laptop and ur video helps me a lot. Which models of lenovo or dell or another brand offers upgradeable ssd and ram?
W2Best Tech thanks alot! I will have a look at it. And your the screen size ratio explanation helps alot. I learnt it from u. As u said Lenovo has a higher screen 10:16 which would be better for me, I suppose. Is there a very significant screen ratio difference between dell and lenovo?
I think 720p is fine if you just want to do some office work and browsing. A 14-inch laptop would suit you better though if you do go 720p. At least the pixels won't be as noticeable as a 15.6 with the same resolution, though barely. I use a 15.6-inch laptop with 720p resolution, and it fits me just fine for the work that I do on my laptop. I renegade gaming and content creation on my main PC and just use the laptop when I need to do some mobile typing work (and the occasional media streaming on hotels and stuff, though it's a less-than-ideal experience).
@@w2best To be fair, yeah, you're right. But when typing 720p does me just fine, if we put media playback then yeah 1080p is far far better. But usually 720p laptops are cheaper though, and in third-world countries like mine people aren't so caring about resolution as long as it's not lower than 720p.
I want a 14" laptop (zenbook) but I worry about productivity. My main concern is the screen size. I have an external monitor but I want to be able to work on the go as well. That's why Im more likely to get a bigger laptop.
Hi everyone! Any recommendations to me? I'm a final year university student, need a new laptop for one more year of studying then I will enter the workforce and I want to continue using the same laptop then. I do tend to have about 3-4 windows open. My lenovo ideapad 15"6 is quite heavy and so I want a 14-inch laptop. Sometimes I do use softwares such as QGIS or IBM SPSS which is data analysis, but that is rare. Also dont want to always carry the heavy charger, so USB-C charging would be great. I do not game at all or edit any videos or pictures. I want my laptop to one that has a smooth experience.
Hey, thanks for making me decide that I need to go for 15inch laptop since I won't be using any external monitor with the laptop. But can you please recommend some of the best 15 inch laptops? Requirements: Casual usage and light gaming like CS:GO Also, I'm from India and there is no lenovo yoga slim 7 in 15inch.
@John Michaels yes I agree. But Envy 15 is too costly in India. More than 1lakh INR. Whereas Legion 5 with Ryzen 5 can be bought for 70k INR, Omen is slightly costlier but less than Envy 15.
@John Michaels dell 7415 is in 14 inch. Also I got to know that there is only 250nits variant available in legion 5. Should I still pick that over omen 15?
currently I am looking for sleeves for my yoga slim 7 and general accessories! I bought already a usb hub 5-in-1 from Anker but I would like you to make a video with laptop accessories and sleeves for 14 inch laptops :)
A lot of the newer usb hubs for the laptop external devices have input outlet which i got scared it will cause overheat or bad charging input for my laptop. Also there are so many brands in Amazon I didn't know which one to trust and I went with a popular brand and a basic hub to be safe, so this is an interesting research right there!! :) Keep up the good job, you helped me with my laptop purchase already :)
Thnx, I only wanted to see the different between the two sises. Now I am sure that I want the 15,6 inche laptop! At this moment I do have the 14 inche.
What screen size do you think is suitable for advanced and intricate world-class-leading and innovative web browsing? A laptop that can stand through thick and thin parts of the weird side of TH-cam and the darkest pages on Wikipedia?
I'm looking to buy a laptop for my Economics bachelor's, so I will use Excel a lot. I will also connect it with 2 external monitors when at home. Any suggestions? I'm pretty sure I want 14 or 15.6 inch + a good resolution so I can see more rows in Excel when I don't have any external monitors connected. Other than that, I appreciate a good built-in keyboard + trackpad. Not really having a budget, maybe around 1450 USD MAX.
Today an 14 Inch is nearly big as a 15,4 inch back than laptop had widescreen 15.4 now they have 15.6 I Recommend today an 14 inch is a perfect Balance for Normal Use and Portable nice size 😘
I would say the thinkbook 13 and 14 look super interesting and I REALLY want to try one asap! :) I think they seem better then ideapad but thinkpad probably has better keyboard!
Those are two very different questions. For portability obviously a smaller size. For programming a bigger size with more screen and a numerical keyboard.

Great video 👍 Very helpful use case comparing 14 and 15". I’ve been wondering for many weeks what to buy in terms of size. Getting gradually closer to deciding.

Will AMD Ryzen 5500u with Integrated Vega 7 - dedicated gpu memory- 512MB , shared gpu memory- 4000MB be sufficient for 1080p editing on not so demanding editing software. Can I extend dedicated gpu memory via bios or registry?
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm keen to try another Intel 11th gen with 4266mhz ram to compare how that benchmarks against the one with 3200mhz. There's supposedly a really big difference!
Although I recognize that you are European and on the metric system, your video uses 14" and 15.6" measurements in the title, yet never refers to inches again. Yes, each viewer can convert all the measurements, but wouldn't it make sense for you to make those conversions once and save those non-metric users the time?
Sir can u try on acer swift 3 2021 variant with i5 11gen?? Wanted ryzen but Cuz Intel variant has better screen and 16gb ram given, but wanted to know about battery life
Hi I wanna buy a laptop I have two options that fit my budget first one is a lenovo idea pad 3 14 inch with touch screen and i7-1165g7 and my second option is dell vostro 3510 15 inch no touch screen and i5 1135g7 the main difference is that the lenovo has a 1tb hdd and the dell has a 512gb ssd, I figured out that I have a 256gb ssd laying around so I could put it with the 1tb hdd in the lenovo. What do you think?
Do you mean holing it AND using it? In that case I would only go for something around or lighter than 1kg, everything else will be very hard to handle...
I would like to have the lenovo slim 7 AMD with 15" but there is just a 14" version with AMD. Would you recommend me, to go with the 14" AMD version or should I switch to the Lenovo ideapad 5 15" with AMD? I just need a laptop for university/ office work and watching videos (youtube/ twitch). I could imagine that the 14" is more comfortable because it's more compact.
There are a few more things to consider! You get a full size sd card reader in the 15" versions. However I'm not sure about USB-C charging. I think it's maybe not there in the 15 inch? At least the yoga comes with a lenovo specific charger in the box. Do you use the laptop as is or plug into an external monitor? Oh that's a hard choice to make - but maybe the Dell Inspiron 14/15 5000 could be worth a check? They both have 4500u and 4700u options.
@@w2best I think, I'll go with the 15" modell. Do you think that the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Amd ryzen 4500u with 8GB RAM is good enough for normal office work (I saw it for $550). There is also the same modell for $630 dollar with 16 GB RAM.

Hi, could you please help me deciding what should I get? I want the laptop only for Photoshop and Capture one pro, i don't do video editing. I have two choices, Intel i7 11th generation with 16gb ram and Geforce MX 450 GPU va AMD Ryzen 7 5700u with Radeon Graphics.

Thanks for a very comprehensive comparison. I prefer the bigger screen. Lenovo Malaysia, has Yoga Slim 7i 15.6 inch and Yoga 7i 15.6 inch(C series/2 in 1) which I have shortlisted. Both comes in glossy screens which I prefer in 15.6 inch 1080p because the pixelation look is much less, besides better sharpness, colours and contrast. Screen differences will be the most compelling factor in my choice. Yoga Slim 7i 15 - 300 nits Yoga 7i 15 - 500 nits HDR400VESA Touch Screen I don't really care about the touch screen but I value the better brightness. Yoga 7i is extra usd38 Your advice pls Also pls do a comparison between 2 in 1 vs laptop.
The 500n will make a big difference. But the 7i has so much fewer ports that i think it's not so versatile! It's a hard choice but in my book it comes down to if you need 2 in 1 or if you need ports.
@@w2bestYou are absolutely right that i hate the 7i lack of ports. I also prefer the slim 7i because it is slightly smaller, lighter and look better but then the 7i has the better screen, not just better brightness but also better contrast ratio. 7i also has a better webcam. Thanks for your quick reply, your videos have been really helpful and educational. Keep the great videos rolling in man.
@@tucksengwong1932 I used the Yoga 720 15" back in the day - it's very similar to the 7i, and the lack of ports was painful. Especially the HDMI that needed a dongle for everyday work life (presentations, client meetings etc). The webcam is terrible in slim 7... The mic is decent though!

Great detailed video, almost "mind-reading" good. This is my biggest dilemma. I just can't accept the 14 inch laptop (my work t490) and can't wait to go back to my old 15,6 inch 1366x768p laptop at the end of every work day. The ONLY reason I can convince myself to change this lapop is because of this old, low nits, low res screen.
First, there is no number pad on the 14'' and even though I use the num pad less than 5 times a day, it pisses me off when I don't have it. Also, for the 14'', you will have to increase the scalling anyway, so you end up with a smaller screen for similar resolution. Too bad the 15'' laptop is getting snubbed by manufacturers producing popular AMD laptops :(
yes 15" and AMD is really not popular for some reason... But that might change 2021. You prefer such a low res screen! Maybe just get an external one for it too? :)
Yeah some how that old TN screen is so easy on my eyes. But the clock is ticking and I will need to upgrade the laptop to at least 1080p on 15 inch. Yes I have a 24 inch 1080p monitor 🙂
@@diyroby732 I would almost prefer a matte tn screen over a glossy ips... My old GS73VR had a TN screen and I loved it! It was very wide viewing angle though. Fast response 120hz :)
I also like TN screens, for office work I think it’s better, more “paper like”.
Great video. I'm going back to grad school and struggling to decide between a 14" & 15" YOGA. I like larger screen of 15" but I'll be toting the PC around for 2 years. (on top of carrying my work laptop too). Hmmm, do I want to carry a 15.6" around?!
If you get a 15" at 1,5kg or so it's fine! If you get a 14" 16:10 or 3:2 that should also work as well as a 15" imo.
@@w2best Thanks for the reply.
The 15 inch laptops do come with a better graphics card such as nvidia geforce gtx/rtx which are very good for gaming. Unlike the 14 inch which nowadays come with the intel iris xe or the intel evo graphics card which is simply not the best for games.
Thank you for this video! I now landed on buying av 15 inch ( or 15.6) inch laptop. I am looking to buy a laptop for homeuse mainly. I sometines need to do lots of writing and some photoediting inbetween. No gaming. I consider not to spend ca 6000 SEK. I live in Sweden. Is this Dell inspiron 7000 a good choice then? Or do you perhaps have some other suggestions what laptop that could works for my needs. It would be great, since this is somewhat a jungle to me :-)
I will be doing coding so is 14 inch laptop best
Great video as usual, could you make a review of the Huawei Matebook 14 AMD ? I think that given the quality-price ratio is one of the best laptops you can get out there at the moment.
I'm super keen to try it out soon! Let's see if I have the budget for it! :)
please do a video on how to choose between the new 14.2" vs 16.2" MacBook Pros 😊
Oh that I would love to do. I will get a 14" and let's see if I find a way to compare.
I would prefer a 14 inch regardless of it being more portable for travel or not becaue the numerical keypad on the 15.6 inch laptop forces me to shif to the left when I am typing ( a lot). Often I would enter the wrong letter, very annoying to me. It is imposible I think to buy a 15.6 in laptop without the numerical keypad unless you want an Mac laptop. But in the end, I bought the 15.6 with full HD because I process a lot of photos. But, next laptop, 14 in is for me.
Great video thanks a lot.
Just the part on 'just watch if it doesnt have a webcam" i dont quite get .. could you could clarify
I'm talking about the Asus G14. It's very powerful but comes without a camera. Which is terrible for my use cases at least.
@@w2best oh ok i get it now.. Thanks again for the video..
Ur explanation is the best 👌
Thank you!!
Great video. 👏👏 been busy to buy a 14 inch laptop and ur video helps me a lot. Which models of lenovo or dell or another brand offers upgradeable ssd and ram?
I recommend the dell inspiron 14 and 15 series that has both upgradable ram and 2 ssd slots.
W2Best Tech thanks alot! I will have a look at it. And your the screen size ratio explanation helps alot. I learnt it from u. As u said Lenovo has a higher screen 10:16 which would be better for me, I suppose. Is there a very significant screen ratio difference between dell and lenovo?
I think 720p is fine if you just want to do some office work and browsing. A 14-inch laptop would suit you better though if you do go 720p. At least the pixels won't be as noticeable as a 15.6 with the same resolution, though barely. I use a 15.6-inch laptop with 720p resolution, and it fits me just fine for the work that I do on my laptop. I renegade gaming and content creation on my main PC and just use the laptop when I need to do some mobile typing work (and the occasional media streaming on hotels and stuff, though it's a less-than-ideal experience).
I think you have to update your pixel preference about 15 years :D I would NEVER use a 720p laptop in any size.
@@w2best To be fair, yeah, you're right. But when typing 720p does me just fine, if we put media playback then yeah 1080p is far far better. But usually 720p laptops are cheaper though, and in third-world countries like mine people aren't so caring about resolution as long as it's not lower than 720p.
Your presentation is super
I want a 14" laptop (zenbook) but I worry about productivity. My main concern is the screen size. I have an external monitor but I want to be able to work on the go as well. That's why Im more likely to get a bigger laptop.
I would get 16 in that case!!
Great review!!!!
Glad I could help you!
Wich is best for students 13 or 14 or 15 inch
Hi everyone! Any recommendations to me?
I'm a final year university student, need a new laptop for one more year of studying then I will enter the workforce and I want to continue using the same laptop then. I do tend to have about 3-4 windows open. My lenovo ideapad 15"6 is quite heavy and so I want a 14-inch laptop.
Sometimes I do use softwares such as QGIS or IBM SPSS which is data analysis, but that is rare.
Also dont want to always carry the heavy charger, so USB-C charging would be great.
I do not game at all or edit any videos or pictures. I want my laptop to one that has a smooth experience.

That’s what I’m looking for, thanks 🙏
Hey, thanks for making me decide that I need to go for 15inch laptop since I won't be using any external monitor with the laptop. But can you please recommend some of the best 15 inch laptops?
Requirements: Casual usage and light gaming like CS:GO
Also, I'm from India and there is no lenovo yoga slim 7 in 15inch.
@John Michaels how about hp omen or lenovo legion 5?
@John Michaels yes I agree.
But Envy 15 is too costly in India. More than 1lakh INR.
Whereas Legion 5 with Ryzen 5 can be bought for 70k INR, Omen is slightly costlier but less than Envy 15.
@John Michaels yes I'm going to take AMD processor. But which laptop must be preferred?
@John Michaels dell 7415 is in 14 inch.
Also I got to know that there is only 250nits variant available in legion 5. Should I still pick that over omen 15?
currently I am looking for sleeves for my yoga slim 7 and general accessories! I bought already a usb hub 5-in-1 from Anker but I would like you to make a video with laptop accessories and sleeves for 14 inch laptops :)
Interesting idea! I haven't been that much into accessible except chargers, but I'll add it to my backlog! Thanks!
A lot of the newer usb hubs for the laptop external devices have input outlet which i got scared it will cause overheat or bad charging input for my laptop. Also there are so many brands in Amazon I didn't know which one to trust and I went with a popular brand and a basic hub to be safe, so this is an interesting research right there!! :)
Keep up the good job, you helped me with my laptop purchase already :)
Well explained sir
Thnx, I only wanted to see the different between the two sises. Now I am sure that I want the 15,6 inche laptop! At this moment I do have the 14 inche.
Great to be able to help! :)
What screen size do you think is suitable for advanced and intricate world-class-leading and innovative web browsing? A laptop that can stand through thick and thin parts of the weird side of TH-cam and the darkest pages on Wikipedia?
I'm looking to buy a laptop for my Economics bachelor's, so I will use Excel a lot. I will also connect it with 2 external monitors when at home. Any suggestions?
I'm pretty sure I want 14 or 15.6 inch + a good resolution so I can see more rows in Excel when I don't have any external monitors connected.
Other than that, I appreciate a good built-in keyboard + trackpad.
Not really having a budget, maybe around 1450 USD MAX.
get the matebook 16, it has a 3 by 2 aspect ratio so you have more vertical space than any other 16 inch laptop in the size of a 15.6 nch laptop
so helpful!! Thank you very much
I'm glad you like this! :)
Today an 14 Inch is nearly big as a 15,4 inch back than laptop had widescreen 15.4 now they have 15.6 I Recommend today an 14 inch is a perfect Balance for Normal Use and Portable nice size 😘
Thanks for sharing!
what is better for an I7 ? perhaps too much hot with an 14"
What are your thoughts about the new thinkbooks gen2 (13.3 at 16:10 and 15 inch at 16:9) with amd versus ideapads with amd

Bro for portability and programming which screen size is better ??
Those are two very different questions. For portability obviously a smaller size. For programming a bigger size with more screen and a numerical keyboard.

I shall be starting my MBA journey within 1 month. Need to buy a laptop. I am confused with 14 inch or 15.6 inch. I have been informed that I shall be using MS Office and ebooks for study purposes and case competitions. I have been using 15.6 inch laptop till now. I fear if I use 14 inch then I might get eye strain. Please guide me....
I am using 14" on the go and then external monitor in the office. If you only use the laptop screen I would go 15,6.
Great video 👍
Very helpful use case comparing 14 and 15". I’ve been wondering for many weeks what to buy in terms of size. Getting gradually closer to deciding.
It would be useful if you could review the touch screen functionality. Is it a must, really useful ...
I would also be interested to know what you think of the The 2 in 1 or 360° laptops, pros and cons.
Thx
I added making that kind of comparison video to my back log! Thanks for the input! :)
I have a question regarding the dell inspiron , is the screen washed out compared to the lenovo?
It's a bit less vibrant! The spec for brightness is the same - but the Yoga measures a bit brighter. Color reproduction is the same.
@@w2best thank you very much
Will AMD Ryzen 5500u with Integrated Vega 7 - dedicated gpu memory- 512MB , shared gpu memory- 4000MB be sufficient for 1080p editing on not so demanding editing software. Can I extend dedicated gpu memory via bios or registry?
Ideas for vids
* Best value (Performance/Price) 13" laptop
* Lenovo YOGA 6 review
* Acer Swift 3 Air 3 review
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm keen to try another Intel 11th gen with 4266mhz ram to compare how that benchmarks against the one with 3200mhz. There's supposedly a really big difference!
@@w2best In that case, Yoga 9i or Yoga Slim 9i...
Although I recognize that you are European and on the metric system, your video uses 14" and 15.6" measurements in the title, yet never refers to inches again. Yes, each viewer can convert all the measurements, but wouldn't it make sense for you to make those conversions once and save those non-metric users the time?
Are you able to use an external keyboard with numpad, on a 14 inch laptop without numpad? Or does this not work?
Oh of course :)
Sir can u try on acer swift 3 2021 variant with i5 11gen??
Wanted ryzen but Cuz Intel variant has better screen and 16gb ram given, but wanted to know about battery life
I have tried the swift 5 about a year ago so I don't think I will try swift 3 soon. My next model should be from MSI I think.

Hi I wanna buy a laptop I have two options that fit my budget first one is a lenovo idea pad 3 14 inch with touch screen and i7-1165g7 and my second option is dell vostro 3510 15 inch no touch screen and i5 1135g7 the main difference is that the lenovo has a 1tb hdd and the dell has a 512gb ssd, I figured out that I have a 256gb ssd laying around so I could put it with the 1tb hdd in the lenovo. What do you think?
And also forgot to mention that the idea pad has dual channel ram 8gb 3200mhz and the dell has single channel ram 8gb 2666mhz
You can perhaps go even smaller (yet equally powerful) with the 13" Razer Blade Stealth. It's very pricey, though.
Yes you are right! I might step into some 13" territories soon. I've been considering it!
Great job.
Thank you! :)
Sir, what do you think about laptop weight, that comfortable when holding with one hand? Maybe around 30-60 minutes?
Do you mean holing it AND using it? In that case I would only go for something around or lighter than 1kg, everything else will be very hard to handle...
@@w2best i see, then I will pick 14" or 13" asus then, no option left 😂(No LG gram in my country and I need numpad), thank you sir 👍
@@rafailjosef7693 Acer Swift 5 14 or 15 would work too :)
I would like to have the lenovo slim 7 AMD with 15" but there is just a 14" version with AMD.
Would you recommend me, to go with the 14" AMD version or should I switch to the Lenovo ideapad 5 15" with AMD?
I just need a laptop for university/ office work and watching videos (youtube/ twitch).
I could imagine that the 14" is more comfortable because it's more compact.
There are a few more things to consider! You get a full size sd card reader in the 15" versions. However I'm not sure about USB-C charging. I think it's maybe not there in the 15 inch? At least the yoga comes with a lenovo specific charger in the box. Do you use the laptop as is or plug into an external monitor? Oh that's a hard choice to make - but maybe the Dell Inspiron 14/15 5000 could be worth a check? They both have 4500u and 4700u options.
@@w2best I use it, as it is, so without an external monitor.
At home I use a PC, so I would only use the laptop, when I need it at school or I go out.
@@w2best I think, I'll go with the 15" modell.
Do you think that the Lenovo Ideapad 5 Amd ryzen 4500u with 8GB RAM is good enough for normal office work (I saw it for $550).
There is also the same modell for $630 dollar with 16 GB RAM.

I have two choices, Intel i7 11th generation with 16gb ram and Geforce MX 450 GPU va AMD Ryzen 7 5700u with Radeon Graphics.
I am confused because extra gpu in Intel with 4gb memory will be good for photoshop on the other hand Ryzen 7 has 8 cores plus 16 threads and efficiently optimize the battery of the laptop.
Thanks for a very comprehensive comparison.
I prefer the bigger screen.
Lenovo Malaysia, has Yoga Slim 7i 15.6 inch and Yoga 7i 15.6 inch(C series/2 in 1) which I have shortlisted.
Both comes in glossy screens which I prefer in 15.6 inch 1080p because the pixelation look is much less, besides better sharpness, colours and contrast.
Screen differences will be the most compelling factor in my choice.
Yoga Slim 7i 15 - 300 nits
Yoga 7i 15 - 500 nits HDR400VESA Touch Screen
I don't really care about the touch screen but I value the better brightness. Yoga 7i is extra usd38
Your advice pls
Also pls do a comparison between 2 in 1 vs laptop.
The 500n will make a big difference. But the 7i has so much fewer ports that i think it's not so versatile! It's a hard choice but in my book it comes down to if you need 2 in 1 or if you need ports.
@@w2bestYou are absolutely right that i hate the 7i lack of ports. I also prefer the slim 7i because it is slightly smaller, lighter and look better but then the 7i has the better screen, not just better brightness but also better contrast ratio. 7i also has a better webcam.
Thanks for your quick reply, your videos have been really helpful and educational.
Keep the great videos rolling in man.
@@tucksengwong1932 I used the Yoga 720 15" back in the day - it's very similar to the 7i, and the lack of ports was painful. Especially the HDMI that needed a dongle for everyday work life (presentations, client meetings etc). The webcam is terrible in slim 7... The mic is decent though!
