Jarrod, I jus bought a 5 Pro AMD with 3070ti and have found out that these AMD pro versions don't have Advanced Optimus included. Can you do a video on if this impacts performance and battery life? There are lots of people on the Lenovo forums who have complained about the feature being listed in the specs, but not available on the machine.
Hi, how about the comparison of 5 pro 2021 and 2022 models?
hi, what do you think is a 2021 lenovo legion 5 17.3 rtx 3060 laptop worth buying at this time?
I got my Legion 5 Pro (5800H 3070m 16GB 1TB) last year in large part thanks to Jarrod's reviews and I would wholeheartedly recommend the Legion line up to anyone watching
Ha! Dude, same here. And totally, that baby rocks!
@@bealotcoolerifyoudid7217 the Walmart deal was insane
@@lilkidsuave not american, but how much did you get it for ?
I have the same device and bought it for same reason and can state the same :)
@@bealotcoolerifyoudid7217 899usd is how much my dad paid for his; I got myself a omen
I just came by to thank you Jarrod, i chose the 5i pro thanks to your reviews. It was a long overdue upgrade from Asus Rog gtx980. Ended up with i7 12700, rtx 3070, 32gb ddr5 and 2tb for 2k€... this thing is awesome!
Hello Jarrod, hope you are able to do a comparison between this year's legion 5 against all other gaming laptops at its price point! Great review as always!
I always find myself coming back and buying from the Legion lineup. I prefer the look they bring to their gaming laptops and are always top of the line in terms of performance. They know that the midrange laptops are the real money makers and take care of their customers with fantastic price to performance. While recently other companies have caught on and are now following the same mentality I still find myself going to them for the products I need. Every company has horror stories but Lenovo has always done right by me anytime I had to get in touch with them.
My region 5's webcam broke within 2 weeks after purchasing it. The laptop constancely lost its bluetooth driver. It's currently at Lenovo reparing center now due to the problem that the screen could not turn on. You can have a second monitor connected to its but still, nothing changed.
Ive been on my l5p 3070 (I did upgrade the ram) for like a year now and id highly recommend it. As a cod sweat, 95% of my usage has been warzone/other fps titles and it does great. I bought it from Wal-Mart for like 1200 during the height of the stock issues.
I was waiting for this!
Thanks for doing the comparison
Thanks for the unique and useful content!
Glad you liked it!
Very interesting! Thanks for the clear and detailed comparison. Sticking with my 2021 model until at least the new generation GPU'S get released.
Lenovo released a BIOS update for the 2021 Legion lineup that added 135W USB-C power delivery.
Its not in the notes.... where did you found that info?
How do we turn on and off optimus without restarting Like Jarod said in video? I have last year's Legion 5 Pro.
I wanted this video sooo badly as I was gonna buy one of these two tomorrow 😅
Yay! Been waiting for this one, thanks Jarrod! :))
still one of the best review channels on youtube, thanks for your work
mobile tip, if you get an uninterruptible power supply especially one that’s 900 watts like the 1500 VA then you can play at plugged in power level even if you don’t have wall outlet. I thought about this the other day when we lost power. it would be an extra thing to carry around but let’s say you’re waiting in your car somewhere then it’s kind of convenient.
I already set my eyes in the Legion 5i Pro 2021 i7 And Rtx 3070, just waiting for the black Friday.
As a one off vid, it could be worth testing the Legion overclocks on the GPU, I imagine that 10w difference may actually help out more there than at standard clocks. Testing both at overclocked that is, just to see if that 10w truly does nothing.
Just wanted to say thank you, particularly for your website with laptop deals, that really helped me! Got my Legion 5 (2022model) for 1100$, with i7 (12700h) , ddr5 16gb ram and rtx 3060, which starts around 1700-1800€ in my country, which was a crazy deal when you think how much I saved !
That's great to hear!
Those shops like newegg Walmart and best buy only ship to US so what country you in
@@Niick_18 my laptop is from b&h, best experience so far! Got it from Usa to Lithuania in 3 days.
labas, kiek doleriais kainavo viskas su pirkim, mokesciais ir shippingu? as BH randu panasu modeli uz ~1100 doleriu, bet dadejus dar visus mokescius, gaunasi apie 1350-1400..
Holy shit
Despite having to return my first legion 5 2021 for having a broken 2nd pcie slot, and the new one sent randomly freezing up, I love it
Very nice video, thank your for the analysis and your opinion about it. Will we have a comparison between Legion 5 2022 and Legion 5 Pro 2022? As you said maybe the next 4060 are closer enough to worth to wait but...
I've just ordered the 2021 ryzen 7 with a rtx 3070 for 1100 and cant wait should arrive tomorrow, thanks for your review it helped me decide 👍
Looks like the rear plastic has detached from the body in the 2021 model @ 2:34. I wonder how prevalent this issue is and if the 2022 model addresses it?
Also, will the newer model get USB 4?
Can you maybe do a video on how to optimize laptops for battery life when not gaming please
I got the Legion 5 with 5800H and 3070 yesterday, surprisingly only on Amazon Germany, out of all EU's countries Amazon's, I found the old model and the old Pro version but the 15 instead of 17 inches version. Thanks to this channel I got an idea that most laptops under 2000 Euro are kinda bad except for the Legion 5. Literally no-one badmouthed this model.
I got the exact same legion 5 from Amazon germany, for 1399€. How is yours doing so far ?
@@gillesnullens i have a legion 5 with a 3060 rtx and ryzen 7 5800h for like 1495 cad or 1045 euros is working very good and honestly id recommend it to anyone
typing this on my L5 5800h 3060, same color as jarrods. I got this beast in january and its been solid as a rock for me. got it after watching him gush over it for ageeees! but i can totally get the appeal. its been absolutely superb for me with everything ive thrown at it. one of my best ever purchases and couldnt be happier!
I just bought the 2021 Legion with i7 11th gen 11800H. It was an upgrade for me from the ideapad gaming 3 laptops I was considering before. Thanks to some great bank deals I got it for 1000 US$ equivalent in India..
Great comparison! I got the Legion 5i (12500h, rtx 3060m, 16 gb ram, 1tb ssd) and I’m loving it so far!!!! The new 2022 build quality is soooo nice! I felt the i5 was nearly as good as the ryzen 7 6800h in gaming and performance comparisons I’ve found and it’s way cheaper. Do you guys think I made the right choice?!
I am looking at the same one right now. The only reason why I am waiting with the purchase is the price (in CZ this version costs 1505 eur which is the same price as older Lenovo Legion 5 with 5800h and 3070 which will be performing better. Btw. does your laptop has gsync? Because 5800h/3070 version does not.
I'd say so, I actually bought the exact same configuration a couple months ago lol
@@georgevana I have the exact same model/configuration and it does have gsync - you have to enable dGPU Mode in the Vantage software first and then the option to enable gsync will appear in the NVIDIA Control Panel
@@HiTechHate thats great, even had gsync. Only problem now is that 512gb of storage I see here and a sale on ASUS TUF15 with 6800h and 3070 that costs 20% less than the lenovo legion with 12500 and 3060.. Now I know the build quality is great on lenovo, but 20% difference is a lot of money and asus seems to be performing really well
@@georgevana 2022 Legion Series are overpriced af,if you want you can switch to other brand like ROG,Acer,.. for better value 😂
Also got a Legion (5600, 3060) last year thanks to Jarrod. Only laptop reviewer i still watch after my 1st purchase in 2020
Hi Jarrod nice video, could you also compare Lenovo legion 5 Pro 2021 with Lenovo legion 5 Pro 2022.
Wonderful comparison, merci beaucoup.
I actually flashed a 140W 3060 VBIOS on my 2021 Legion 5 and it works well. It requires Lenovo Legion Toolkit to make it work, so a bit more complicated but it really works
Wait 140W ? How ?
Please elaborate ?
@@hizqilzakaria2142 so basically I flashed the Lenovo 140W 3060 VBIOS from Techpowerup (made a backup of my old VBIOS in case if anything goes wrong). It does say 140W in Nvidia control panel, but it won’t pull more than 130W by default. To make it work, I Installed Lenovo Legion Toolkit, set power mode to ‘custom’ (it switches the power button’s colour to purple which is pretty cool), set maximum power limit offset to 25, and set the configurable TGP to 60W.
@@alun1038 can you give me the bios link ?
@@alun1038 How are the temps? and was the extra 10w worth it in performance?
Glad I saw this video before I made my purchase, I knew the two models are close to identical
Jarrod Hi! I have question for you , I bought asus rog strix g15 couple weeks ago but had not done enough research about mux switch! Which my model does not have ... i did change faster ram and it boosted frames a lot in many games ! But what I am wondering is would I still benefit much if I had laptop with mux switch? I still have 16 days time to return it. Also if you can answer about screen ratio , seems legion pro laptops have 16:10 ratio, do you think that would be better for me as I do alot of video editing and gaming? Thanks and thumbs up for video👍😛
Thanks for bringing this comparison up! I have been thinking of getting the 2021 version for $100 less price. This has changed my opinion about the 2022 version! Thanks!
100$ less? Seems like a little amount saved in my opinion
For $100 yeah get the newer one but if you can get it for $200 the 2021 is better price wise if we are comparing AMD to AMD. Intel version always get the 12th gen unless cost difference is like $500 or something crazy,
@@techguy6241 and you are wrong here. 2022 with updated fans (esspecialy in idle), better battery, 2 thunderbolts, metal cover, DDR5, less temp. on CPU, better screen response time is a way better choice for just 100$.
@@Deyv.z That's what i said, i agree, the new gen 7 is a way better option if its 100$ more. If it's a little more expensive then i guess it's up to the buyer to decide for themselves if it's worth it for them.
There is a good discount in my country for legion 5 17.3, 5800H, 8gb, 256gb 3060. It is 700$ for brand new (based on current exchange rate). Do you guys think it is a good deal??
UPDATE: I figured out my BSOD issue. It was Chrome having issue with Lenovo's network boost turned on. So I disabled it and have not seen the BSOD for a month now. *crossing fingers*
Hey Jarrod, nice video again. Thank you for what you do. Have you ever run into Kernel Power 41 BSOD on Legion laptops? This seems to be the issue for a lot of Legion 2021 & 2022 buyers w. Win 11. Not sure if bad laptop or just common issues.
My legion 5i gen 7 display stopped working all of a sudden, coincidentally right after i connected external monitor to it. Its barely been a month with this device. Saved up for 1 year to get this. I had a lenovo y series laptop 7 years ago too stop working with a faulty hard drive just about a month or so after buying. I switched to MSI. Ran smooth for 6 years straight. I thought I'd give lenovo another chance. It seems like not a matter of luck. I did a poll on reddit to see how many users have similar laptop breaking problems. The percentage is as high as 10-18%. Nowhere near the odds of 1 in a 1000 chance of something bad happening to your device. I'm done with Lenovo.
Hi Jarrod's, I'm curious, does this also account for the Legion 5(i) Pro series 2021 vs 2022?
the gap would be bigger considering intel 11th and 12th gen and also rtx 3070 and 3070ti for a typical 5i pro
great video - thanks
I bought a 2021 model and it is the perfect laptop for me.
Hey Jt,thanks for sharing this vid,am getting on buying the 2021 model,can you recommend it(2021 model) for light 4k yt video editing, mostly 1080p.😊😊
Currently Im using Lenovo Legion 5 (2020), with RTX 2060 and Ryzen 4800H. Laptop is still good enough for current games with medium settings. From what I see Lenovo Legion series has been consistent and looking at the new 2022 model seems like its still the case. I recommend getting into this laptop series because I don't have issues with the build quality, and their website give easy information if I have to troubleshoot something. Great video Jarred, hope to see this again next year when 2023 model come out!
Did you get the dreaded charging port issue which most of the people get?
I would be really thankful if you mention it
@@paarth9789 I own the 2020 model with the 4800H and RTX 2060. ( factory Build date December 20, 2020) 230w charger
My machine works fine, although I upgraded my battery, with the 90Ahr, as soon as my laptop was delivered.
I never heard of this issue. Can you elaborate?
@@paarth9789 I did not get any issue with the charging port. Still working fine for my unit.
@@greenman8 ohh thats a relief i bought a legion 5 and didnt buy that extended warranty by mistake and as i was going through that this machine usually gets a charging port issue after usually a year or so and i was way too concerned well maybe its just problem with few models
@@abdhdhd thats great thanks for replying
Great video! Can we get the same comparison but do it with the Legion 7?
Thx 🙏 man ❤
I bought 2021 version recently with 5600H and RTX 3060, since with Polish inflation at the moment I would end up paying a lot more if I waited for the 2022 version to come here, and on top of that would pay absurd sums to upgrade the RAM, because DDR5 memory here is absurdally expensive compared to DDR4...
I got stingray
Where and how much
@@babyrumi777 u asking me?
I am from india u can find it on amzon for Rs. 115000
And i bought it from a store
Can i know about its performance.?? Like overall....
@@jr.kimetan6147 i am an animation std. am just learning right now.
it lags a bit when polygon no. of a 3d model increases
could u tell me for what purpose u r looking for this laptop?
I bought last year Legion 5 when the newer one is coming out 3 months ago and this video reassure my decision :)
Hey, I love your videos and I need some advice as I finally got some coin and am thinking of buying a new laptop.
So I'm wondering whether to buy - MSI GF66 Katana with i7-11800H and GTX 3070 or Legion 5 Pro with i7-11800H and GTX 3060, (all other specs are the same 512gb ssd, 2x8 ram etc.). Both of which are at relatively the same price (15$ difference) where I am.
My concern is the MSI GPU power limit is only 85W, so I dont know if the 3070 will be better than the 3060 in the Legion?
Any recommendations and advice would be greatly appreciated. Sadly, the 3070 Legions here are insanely expensive, so thats not really an option right now, otherwise that would be my go-to choice.
you deffo need to review the legion 7 with rRX6850m xt
How bout a cheaper 11th gen intel +3070 vs 12th gen intel + 3060?? Which one has better value u think? For mix of gaming and video editing
Hey jarrod, I'm curious to know if using a mug switch and gaming laptop for excessive use will burn/destroy the hardware much quicker than a pc. I've been advised even tho laptops are catching up to pc capabilities they burn out/don't last anywhere near as long due to the lack of cooling. Can you confirm/deny this please ?
5:53 in the battery test, were the laptops tested at max settings? (For gaming of course) if so then I assume if you simply turned the settings down it would last a lot longer
I got legion 5i 2022 with rtx 3050 512gb and a 230w charger. Cheaper 200usd than the 2021 pro and great performance too. The product was limited stock, for the old and the new ones
I love Legion 5 lines up over the years.
Affordable and perform well
Great video, but can you please review the new legion 7 AMD advantage with rx6850m xt and the Alienware m17 r5 with the same specs?
I ordered the legion 5i pro gen 7 intel 12th gen 12700h 3070rtx for gaming and i cant wait🌟gonna be streaming and gaming
Curious, at 8:00, certain updates not going automatically through the app. That one had to know of, and seek out the update manually, in order to have the 2022 model function at its peak.
I wonder as an owner of a 2020 Legion-5, are there hidden updates, that apply to me, that I don't know about?
hello, I was wondering why you don't show GP66 stats in the game comparisons chart anymore?
Managed to get a great deal on Lenovo 2021 legion 5 11800h and rtx 3070 with 1080p 165hz which was around £400 cheaper than the 2022 legion 5 12700h and 3060 with 1440p 165hz. Would have loved the 1440p screen but for playing on the laptop the 1080p is fine, and can hook up to my 4k TV for high Res gameplay anyway for which the 3070 will be better achieving that than the 3060. Great laptop, no complaints - thanks for the recommendation!
Hows the temperatures?
Finally, thanks Jarrod
This is the first time I heard about 2021 model having an advanced optimus update, thanks for that info (also your review about 2021 laptops helped me a lot to choose lenovo legion 5, and I am quite satisfied with it)
Hi same for me, did you find an update for the 2021 version? I would hope to get it too
Only legion 5 intel 2021 gets advanced optimus i believe
@@ultimategohan1551 well that's not what was said in the video so I am not sure. I have the 120hz screen so maybe the advanced optimus only is for the 165hz screen. Checked all my drivers and everything is up to date but I have no option in nvidia control panel.
I have the 2021 model with 1440p (WQHD)@165hz, I have got the Optimus update in Nvidia control panel.
So I recently got two updates for the BIOS and also updated the Nvidia drivers, so I'm really not sure which one did the trick. So you may wanna update both your BIOS and drivers.
(You can find a BIOS update in the legion software or in windows update > additional updates > labeled as "Lenovo software update")
I just missed keyboard temps in both models but amazing comparison and analysis
I have the Intel i7-12700H model of Legion 5. Is the VBIOS in the description also compatible with it or just AMD models?
Will you make a video about mid range laptops compression around 1000€-2000€
I have a 3070 ti gpu on my laptop 💻 and it runs every game at max settings, except for Apex Legends that I can’t turn on shadows to extreme but still everything else at max settings
Thanks!
jarrod i've just bought legion 5 with 11th gen intel graphics. Wich one is better? Intel 11400h or Ryzen 5800h? (other spec's are the same as on your video)
This is the best review I have ever seen 👍
Glad you liked it
Is there a chance where we can see Lenovo legion 5i pro with intel i5 both generations comparison?
I have bought legion 5 (2021) i have a bought a upgraded panel of 1440p no issues in screen difference thanks to jarrod i bought this product ✌️✌️
I literally just ordered the 2022 legion 5 pro... Because of jarrods review...I am so excited
Could you make a full review of the MacBooks?
Late to the party here but I just got my Legion 5 a week ago at Microcenter on sale for $799 with the Ryzen 7 7735HS and Nvidia 4060 with 8gb. So far I am very happy with this as it's my first Lenovo.
Can't wait for the 4060 model to come out
Hi Jarrod, I'm thinking buying the 5i with 3070ti. Do you have any referrals to Europe???
Or some1 from the community. Thus waiting for BF coming soon for good deals.
This could have came out at a better time. Literally typed it in google and saw Jarrod's review. Where I am at legion pro 2022 is not available, but 2021 is. Im caught between buying local or shop and ship from us. It would both work out to same amount of money for me
i have the 2021 model with an RTX 3050ti. it came with 8gb ram but upgrade it to 2x8gb from Corsair. I'm really happy with it but I would have paid a little more for the RTX 3060 version
Hey Jarrod, If you could please raise awareness among these issues in the Legion lineup I have been experiencing
1. the AMD FTPM issue that causes stuttering in windows 11 (There are so many stutters dude) and my latencymon results are also not that good because of it
2. A bios update reduced performance of all legion laptops about 10-15%, this has been there for quite awhile dont know whether they fixed it
3. AMD has already released the fix for the stuttering issues relating to its FTPM and Lenovo hasn't still released the fix for it through a BIOS update meanwhile some other vendors have already released it.
4. IDK why but my legion's battery life is also poor (I'm unable to return it or put it to warranty because my country's customers service is the worse dude. I live in Sri Lanka)
5. My laptop came shipped with MEDIATEK Wifi 6 MT7921 Wifi card. Got to say its sucks. I get random ping spikes in every multiplayer game im playing. Ping rises from 30 second or 15 second intervals and returns back to normal.
My Specs:
Legion 5 Gen 6 15ACH6H
RTX 3060
16 GB RAM
1TB SSD
Ryzen 7 5800H
MEDIATEK Wifi 6 MT7921 Wifi Adapter
I did get legion 5 lower spec i5 11400h with 3060. Happy about it, but it was cheap, new for 900 eur thats was good.
I have the 2021 5i 17' (3060, 11400h, 16gb @3200) and i got it for 800 GBP in late august, i think i got an absolute steal
I just bought my Legion 5 (2021) Ryzen 5 RTX 3050ti for around $916. I’m in love with itttt
Hey dude I have a 2020 model of lenovo legion 5 with amd ryzen 5 4600h and gtx 1650.
I have been thinking about some upgrades lately with ram for that I've considered your video.
But I'm also planning to get a 144hz monitor, so my question is does legion 5 support 144hz with hdmi 2.0 with g-sync?
and can I use a usb 3.2 port for display output with no thunderbolt?
just need some help out here.
Got Mine in June for $1100 for the 3060.
Just be careful with the new model, I just took it back to the store because the display popped out of the case. This was a common issue with the previous Legion 7.
Thank you. It will be a few years before I replace my Gigabyte G5 GD, but the Legion is in my short watch list.
Gigabyte g5 is an excellent laptop.especially the i5 + 3060 model.
One of the few laptop with removable battery + 2.5 inch hard drive slot. thermals a bit hot, but using throttle stop etc gets the job done.
@@drj144 Yeah, I wish I had been able to get the 3060 Model for $850 in early July 2022, but so far the 3050 is doing fine, especially for the $700 I paid. I am not a demanding gamer...yet.
Do the new 2022 legions come with a true HDMI 2.1 port yet? On the 2021 models, connecting to an LG C1 OLED would only yield 8 bit colour HDR instead of the full fat 10 bit HDR + GSYNC + 4K + 120hz.
For the same price, should i buy 5i pro 12900 3070ti or 2021 legion 7 5900hx 3080?
Jarrod please make the Lenovo legion 7i 2021 and 2022
Hi
Which one do you prefer for solidworks and ansys :
i7 12700h + 3050ti or r7 5800h + 3060
Can Jarrod or anyone else please answer this one question regarding the RAM? If Legions usually come with slow x16 RAM but DDR5 mostly eliminates the issue, why is it that all the games tested here have very similar performance between the two? I'm trying to make a decision before black friday ends and I don't know if I want to pay more for the 2022 if the RAM is also faster
I have the legion 2022 model with a 3070 ti, can I also upgrade the vbios?
Longing for yesteryear, when these could be found under $1,000.
I guess it's an IdeaPad for me.
IdeaPad are the best budget laptops.
Planning to get the last year model with a 3050 at 620$.
The only 3050 cheaper is the gf63 at 540$ but those suckas have a 40 watt TDP on their GPU.
So I guess they are competing more with 1650 laptops with the price and performance but having dlss so whatever.
he should do a comparison with the pro version (3070 and 3070 ti)
in the review of the 2022 model, you can find the last year version with AMD CPU and is barely any better, just in CPU and productivity apps, in games is 3% better in the best case.
Can anyone help me decide between these two? I can get the Legion 5 2021 with an RTX 3070, or a Legion 5 2022 with an RTX 3060 for about £100 more where I am. If I'm mostly going to be using it for lower end games and browsing, is it worth paying the premium for the WQHD screen? Wondering if the 3070 on a 1080p screen would be overkill
Jarrod never seems to place much emphasis on the WQHD screen being more standard in the 2022 version.. I wonder if he doesn't consider it a major selling point?
I recently picked up last years model, but it doesn't come with the RTX 3060, but honestly I'm not complaining at all with a GTX 1660Ti. I did find 2 people attempting to sell theirs, but they want retail price.
Thank u for the insight!
Wait, the Legion 5 2021 received Advanced Optimus whereas the 5 Pro didn't? That doesn't make much sense to me.I got the 5 Pro and nowhere have I seen that option.
Please make a similar video with Legion 5i Pro 2021 vs 2022...🙏🏻
Could you also compare legion 5pro amd 2021 against 20222?
Hey Jarrod! I would appreciate it if you could review the Predator Helios 300 2022, as it was pretty bad the last year but it seems to have improved significantly.
Very soon! Stay tuned 👍
(additional details available via Jarrod's patreon 😉)
The coolers look interchangeable or is it just me?
Will be getting my Legion 5 pro 2022 (RTX 3070ti, Ryzen 7 6800h) tomorrow, Jarrod sold me on the Legions lol. Finally moving on from my Acer Predator Helios 300 (2018) with a GTX1060. Webcam doesn't work anymore, the right click on the track pad doesn't respond sometimes unless pushed down hard and the speakers are blown out but it still runs okay and plays current gen games well enough (though you can cook a steak on it while it runs said games). Just think an upgrade is due and hope to use the Legion for another 4 years.
I hope you like it!
Can I tell you how much helpful your channel is???
You are the only laptop reviewer I follow. Also please make video on why Windows 11 literally sucks. There are people everywhere praising it. The 2022H2 update has ruined my laptop. My laptop is Omen (big mistake) and comes with 12th gen I7.
Legion is literally well designed.
All of the laptops we've reviewed this year have been on Windows 11, though none of them on the 2022H2 update. We haven't experienced too many issues.
