    Don't say the Slim 7 isn't worth the extra cost. You get full aluminium, a better battery, better speakers.
    That alone makes the Slim 7 more premium and certainly worth the extra charge.

    Can you imagine how difficult it is to watch the review when you bought Slim 7 (Y9000X) on 13900H with RTX4060 and 32GB of RAM. I console myself with the fact that 4070 should not be much better than 4060. But in the slim versions they are 115Watt. So I sometimes regret that I didn’t take the usual one, it’s not dramatic anymore, only the huge 330W power supply in the regular version is embarrassing.

    Great video as always man!
    Question: is the i9/4070 warmer? Im about to pull the trigger on the Slim 7 (AMD 7840HS/4060), but I was wondering if upgrading to the Slim 7i (i9 and 4070) is worth it. Im a casual gamer so it might be overkill, but its nice to have no ceiling in a few years to come; problem is I’m worried about thermal performance, this being a slim version, and I’ve read that the i9 will draw more power and get hotter… any thoughts? What would you recommend, considering I’m not a graphic designer or anything like that, it’ll be my day to day laptop for normal use and gaming while travelling

    🤔there are a lot more options for both of these though! For CPU there are 2 AMD and 2 intel options, and both can come with RTX4060 or 4070 (sometimes radeon), and different screen sizes (2560x1600 or 1920x1200). Maybe screen color gamut could also be different for these different screens?
    I realize that this is a nightmare for trying to benchmark the performance across all the different configurations, but it's hard to compare the 2 models when the spec is pretty different too

      - slim comes with 60 or 80wh battery while regular always is 80
      - different screen options
      - different I/O usb c vs usb a and the card reader
      - different Processors HX version on Pro vs H on Slim (H vs HS on AMD models)

      Customer support, I agree.
      But you saying that lenovo's hardware quality is bad?
      Nga I saw my friend who accidentally dropped his legion 5 from a 6ft height and it didn't even have a dent on it whatsoever.
      Infact its was his second time dropping it and before he told me that it was his second time dropping it, the laptop looked just as any other laptop you could find.
      You could make an argument that the legion 5 pro from 2021 had some really bad hinge issues. I really dunno why they went ahead with that but subsequent models from newer gen were among the best built quality units. 2022 models and this year's models all have exceptional build quality. You're just unlucky if you get one that has qc issues. Its un avoidable with any brand. But I can assure you that lenovo's build quality is among the best I've seen.

      @@User98-456 Pro har ju 240 Hz display, men det är lite overkill när det gäller gaming laptops så vida man inte ska spela CS eller andra spel där datorn klarar av att generera frames som når upp 250+fps. Den slim jag köpte har en 165 Hz 2560x1600p, vilket egentligen också är lite för bra om man ska spela AAA spel. Pro har också lite fler USB portar än vad Slim 5 har.
      Tyvärr finns inget val dock att välja annat om man inte går in på Lenovos hemsida och bygger en där, men då blir det oftast dyrare.
      Nackdelen med Slim är att den har en någon mindre profil än Pro, så jag gissar att kylningen är något större på just Pro.
      Men jag har inga problem med ljudet eller värme i min slim, och då kör jag Starfiled, Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus och många andra AAA spel.
      Lenovo är bland dem bästa när det gäller just kylning och ljud nivå. Slim 5an är dock inte slim, den är precis lika stor/hög som vanliga Lenovo 5. Det är bara Slim 7 som kan klassas som en slim.
