I have the 2023 model. Intel i9, 32GB RAM with RTX 4080. I also added a second 2TB SSD. I love it. It has worked out well for me. I do 4K video editing with Adobe Creative Cloud apps. Mostly Premiere, After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop mostly. Very happy with my purchase.

The last two options for the RGB lighting are dynamic; they light up and dance in response to any audio being played on the device.

That's the legion pro 5i in the thumbnail

I recently picked up the 2023 version when it went on sale, and I love it!

Why do most channels just show the benchmarks but don't actually do the video editing to show the actually benchmarks in action instead of just giving the numbers

Hi bro

Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (82Y9000QUS) $899 and Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (83DV00FXUS) $890

Which one is better to buy in 2024.
Or is here any other Gameing laptops in this price point.

Please reply.

Thank you 😊

[CoconutJoe]

Is it worth it to buy the 4090 version?

[bigru]

Thanks for highlighting CAD performance

[wilsongv]

how your editor has her laptop is what I wanted to see.. my laptop goes through some STUFF, man.

Hey, this is a great review, but I think leaving AMD variant of the 7945HX out of this review compared to that processor was a mistake. The 7945HX without any sales can be found cheaper than the Intel variant, but in most cases out performs the Intel variant…

For travel with the 2023 model, I use the 140W charger... but honestly, this machine stays at home, most of the time. I have a Dell 9430 and MBA 15" that take trips...

[DimaKhom]

Thanks for the review! Always cool!
Does this version have an alternative small charger in the box, or can I charge with it if I buy it?

[frogoSwaggins]

The last 2 configurations for the keyboard lighting is so you can customize them in Lenovo Spectrum. Actually you can change any of the 6 profiles to like 15 different patterns or any color.

[AluzionTV]

Has the charger port loosened up at all or any issues? Ive read so many posts of people who have had to have the prots replaced in under a year.

[geenaxion]

I loved to see it.
I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered.

[Kris_Belo]

Is the ram for this laptop upgradable to 64 gb ram?

[paulf]

have you had any issues after installing new nvidia driver versions or bios? ive had a rough time over the last 6 months with my legion....

[YaYa-excu]

I just got the 2023 for 2k, it's the 13900XH and 4090 version.

hi guys, I'm an architect student and I bought 2 days ago the Legion Pro 7i with 4080 for a price of 2600€ but today I saw there is Legion 7i with the same processor, ram and memory but with a 4070 at 2200€. Is it worth spending €350? or just returned and buy the normal 7i?
