Thank you for the review I’m residing in China now, and this have some regional compensation from the gov basically just give you discounts before checkout. I got this model brand new for $1375 so happy with the purchase
Was waiting for this review! :) I have the Gen 4 because of your video and i could not be more happier. Its the best laptop. Its the speakers, people. They are amazing! There was one time ive been using the laptop and people were coming by my room and when i played a video they were all like "wow, from where this sound came from". But make sure that in the sounds settings its set to "Dolby Atmos" or "Windows Sonic" and not to "off" as its make a difference. Im wondering how the sound is comparing to the Asus Zephyrus series, it is better? Screen - phenomenal! Battery - i dont care about it as im keeping it plugged anyway. I think this laptop doesnt have enough publicity and people are truly missing out. Also you forgot to mention that the laptop has a fingerprint scanner for log in + facial recognition, most of these legions doesnt have it :) and its super useful, i could never go back to typing passwords again, haha. Plus if you have a Samsung phone, the both things are made for each other. Perfect syncing. Dex, mirroring, Quickshare, Link to windows, whatever u want, you can do it between the two.
I'm deciding between a Gen 4 i9 and this Gen 5 i7, would you say the upgrades/ changes you see in the Gen 5 are worth going for? I could see CPU and GPU are similar but still unsure about the rest.
Which is better : Lenovo legion 7i 2024? It has 99wh battery, but small touchpad, and plastic keyboard side. Can you compare autonomy? And tactile sensations
Hello. I would like to consult you about this Notebook you are using if possible. I am a newly graduated architect and I need a laptop to do my work. I also use programs such as autocad, archicad, rhino, 3dsmax, grasshopper. And for a long time I have been looking for a business computer with color accuracy, high resolution and no heating problems. I have two options; 1-Lenovo Thinkbook 16PG5 (i9 14900HX RTX4060); The 2nd one is Dell Presicion M3571 (i7 12800H RTX A1000). As a Lenovo user, considering that we use drawing and rendering programs, what would be your suggestion for me? I have seen that some users have high heat problems with i9s, what is your impression? Thank you.
may i know what the best processor on this laptop would be if i want to use it with no charger (during school) and still get a very good gaming experience at home, with titles like elden ring and black myth? because i want the laptop to last long on school days
@@TechGuyBeau Thank you for your quick answer! "Lenovo charging protocol" that might be the reason it wont charge through my Dell Ultrasharp Monitor which delivers 90w (power delivery)?
Because I’m the best. I dunno. Thinkbooks aren’t “sexy” content so most reviewer aren’t interested in them. But I don’t care, I review what I want … and what the viewers want :) I hope it was a useful video if it’s the only one. It’s a really nice laptop
Tough one. This one is thicker with better cooling and a 10/10 ips screen The yoga 9i is thinner with a glossy mini led and a little less cooling. If the size is okay get this. Otherwise the yoga might be a better option
I bought the 2023 of this laptop from you and love it. I agree that the keyboard is just the best. It is an awesome laptop. The only downside IMHO is the battery life is dismal, even with the H cpu on the 2023, as well the 'quiet' mode kills performance too much compared to the much better quiet mode on the legions. Other than that this is a real sleeper.
Now I need to decide between the Gen4 and the Legion 5 Pro (AMD9, I think that is the one you have, too) for photography and video editing .. I don't really care about metal, but I need it to be mobil and, so I think I need the one which works better with the lighter charger (140w) because the 300w is too heavy with 1kg =/. Is the think book noticeably lighter? Aland: Are the speaker better than the legion ones?
Nice! I have the 2023 version also thanks to your review! What are your thoughts on performance? I think they might be the same. Mine has the 13900h + 4060. As far as i can see from your video on the 2023 version it had more pipes for cooling than the 2024 version, probably just as many as the legion. So the 2023 version maybe has better cooling, but the 2024 version has a more powerful cpu. I like how now there are 3 usb a ports and not 2. I like that they are on the side and not in the back. I like how there are two 2280 ssd slots instead of one being 2240.
@@TechGuyBeau Can you tell the difference in noise level between H and HX versions in simple tasks (like browsing)? In general, between the two models which one would you prefer?
How does this Thinkbook 16p G5 compare to the Yoga Pro 9i? Both of this laptops are in the same size/weight category but with different CPU and the biggest difference is the screen. Any thoughts?
Hard to compare. But let me break it down Thinkbook +better cooling +ips screen on 3.2k is amazing non glossy +best keyboard in business -runs hot due to hx - battery sucks more - costs less (maybe) Yoga: +thinner +runs cooler + mini led is gorgeous +theoretically better battery (need to tweak tho) - expensive - glossy screen (I prefer this)
hey which laptop would you recommend this one, legion pro 5i with i7 rtx 4070 16gb ram 2k 100%DCI-P3 display or legion slim 5 gen 9 ryzen 7 rtx 4070 32gb ram 2k 100%sRGB display both are 240hz. I am confused beacuse there’s a talk going on about intel’s 13-14 gen processors being faulty so thought about the amd model but the screen in inferior and because it is slim i am worried about it getting too hot which one should I choose????
The desktop processors are faulty but not the mobile processors because after the CPU and GPU gets soldered on the motherboard, the manufacturer runs it through another quality control check to ensure they are working at their specifications. The desktop processors will go through the same process if you buy a pre-built computer. If you build it yourself, that's where you will run into problems if you get a faulty processor. Between the two laptops, pick the Intel if you want the best color accurate screen or pick AMD if you want more ram without having to upgrade the ram yourself. Intel thermal throttles their processor at around 95C while AMD thermal throttles at 100C. Both have pros and cons. Since they're both gaming laptops, the heatsink can withstand very high temperatures even at 100C. When the temperature exceeds the limit, it will reduce power to the CPU and GPU to lower temperatures and performance to prevent itself from a sudden shutdown. This is why non-gaming laptops often shutdown when they overheat, since the heatsink is very weak.
@@nikhilrmahi I would choose Intel for that better screen because buying a better screen is like $300-$500 directly from Lenovo while upgrading ram is cheap. I would choose AMD if I needed better battery life.
Hi own a 2019 Legion and willing to upgrade to a thinkbook 16p… I did not understand the difference between gen4, gen5… and also wondering if the gen5 is upgradable to 64gb RAM thanks
Functionally there is no difference. The processor is just a refresh. So realistically just get whatever is cheaper. I do quite enjoy the 3.2k screen however, so whichever you get I would suggest looking at that upgrade
Not sure if I will to be honest. I buy the vast majority of things that I review, and I don’t have any relationship relationship with ASUS. They are set to launch at about C$3000, which is a spicy buy to review. I’m sure Jarrod’s tech will get one either through review unit or purchase. So keep an eye on his channel
And one more question because I'm looking for a non-plastic laptop, i.e. one with a metal casing and bottom, and which laptops have such things, name Lenovo products, whether it's Legion, Thinbook or other.
not touching intel based machines until current problems with blue team cpus are resolved - especially in laptop space. Waiting for amd hx 370 based thinkpad 16 :)
I just bought 16p gen 5 with 14650hx and the fans are always running, even without any load. Does anyone know if the laptop can work with passive cooling?
Me too, but I noticed that if the temperatures drop below 45 degrees on the CPU GPU and motherboard, the fans turn off. But there is a problem, the processor and video card are 40-45 degrees in idle time, but my motherboard is always 50-60 degrees in idle time, If you are looking for how to solve this problem with the motherboard and let me know what happens. The 99% problem is in the temperature of the motherboard
@@who5041 I doubt this problem is solvable because even with power saving mode in Lenovo Vantage and energy efficient Windows profile in idle it is above 50 degrees.
@@viacheslavspitsyn2995 If I'm watching a browser or a movie here, it's 40-50 degrees except for the motherboard, So it's almost always 60+- and there are situations when something goes wrong and the fans turn off. I tried to find where this sensor is on the motherboard, but I could not find the official documentation for the motherboard. I think if you still find this sensor (physically understand where it is) And to check if everything fits well there, it would help.
Beau if i remember a while back you said this is your daily driver laptop of 2024, and I researched and now with your review, isn't this just the exact same thing as the Legion 7i but with a smaller battery?
Thanks for the review. Quick question. Does this one have worse battery life than the gen 4? I'm trying to decide if I should get this one or the gen 4.
It is hard to draw direct comparisons as the data is one year apart, but logically this one has worse battery than the previous gen. The performance will be the same. If price is the same probably doesn’t matter. But if you can get last gen for a good price jump on it Either way I’d highly highly recommend the 3.2k screen
I believe the 14700HX is worth getting because when you Undervolt these, the more cores and threads you can undervolt the more you gain. UV alone makes a massive difference to Intel7 HX.
I have the i7 14650hx and 4060 version unfortunately it cant be undervolted its just locked and tbh the cpu runs very hot reachs 96-98 some times even hit 100
@@oj9668 thats insane to hear!!! I was extremely upset with H series Intel7’s being locked but to hear that some HX cpu’s are locked too is a fraud from intel!! Probably due to new microcode if i have to guess. Try liquid metal i did it on my laptop and it makes a huge diff. No the option u have. Or sell
@@PKperformanceEU Wrong, most HX laptops can be undervolted. It's lenovo that blocked undervolting in this business oriented laptop. Typically you have to go into the bios to unlock undervolt protectection. Lenovo Legions, Asus Strix/Zephyrus, Dell etc........This is not a gaming laptop so for some reason they blocked it. Intel has a lot to answer for.......but for this, blame lenovo not intel.
Gen6 will be main competitor for MacBook Pro 16 with M4 pro for me in Q1 2025. Just keyboard alone is a big deal. And better international warranty. Usage of LED IPS without PWM unlike mini-led and oled while having gsync, advanced Optimus and full dci-p3 is again big deal. But... Does it support high impedance headset like i.e. 250ohm beyerdynamics (apple does)? Can't find any info in gen4 and gen5 specs... :(
@@breakingtwitting for me. Much faster screen (no ghosting and better latency, but no HDR due to crappy Windows and no local dimming zones), GPU, worlds better keyboard, much better build quality, 3y international warranty in package (real warranty), noise is same under same load. Only gaming or something that macbook isn't able to run anyway will be loud. Macbook has overall still better display, speakers (tho poping/cracking that Apple isn't able to fix for years which is not acceptable...). Battery can be boosted with normal slim/flat 100-140W 20k-30k mah powerbank like ugreen, anker, greencell and so on. But top spec 16p with 4060 has advanced optimus (MUX) so battery time is great, unlike any laptop without MUX switch. Also incoming Arrow-Lake is all about lower power consumption and efficiency, not performance (which is way enough). I'd say it's good because more options = better for us. We can pick what suits our use.
@@SULFURIOUS only thing turns me off in lenovo is huge ass power brick..portability is paramount for me. so i wen with samsung book ultra, seems perfect
@@breakingtwitting Agree! But in my case I would only use full power in home, with brick being stationary. In office I have monitor with 90W Power Delivery and I don't need more for office/data/llm interfencing [damn Python... still learning that crap] for few minutes every hour /statistics work. Also there are some awesome small chargers up to 140W and 160W in uGreen case (like mobile phone) that are also compatible with Macbook Pro. There are also 100-200W powerbanks that can work as chargers too.
I don't have any reason to upgrade my laptop at the moment - I still have a Legion 7 gen 7 (AMD Advantage) that I picked up for a song and dance when Lenovo was clearing out old stock. However, I "feel" like upgrading now 🤣
