Maybe it's just me, but the naming of Legion laptops has become more then a bit confusing (Legion 5 Pro vs. Legion Pro 5, etc.)

[francescovi]

I like the 2022 Model more aesthetically, the sharp corners make it more beautiful in my opinion...

[kylerclarke]

I thought this was exactly the comparison I needed, but no gaming head-to-heads (even briefly) is a bummer

[willfullyinformed]

Wouldn't mind seeing the Legion Slim 7i Gen 8 2023 (maxed out) vs the Pro Models. I have a feeling the differences are not that massive, and the only difference being the video card upgrades - but I'd be curious to see what difference that would make specifically. Also, huge plus with the Slim 7i Gen 8 is still getting the all metal chassis and glass touchpad. Great reviews. Cheers

Genial! Gran análisis, justo estaba buscando una comparación de esos 2 modelos. Gracias.

Not sure in the US, but in Canada the screen brightness got lowered from 500 to 300. Something to take note of.

i bought 2022 4 month ago and absolutely loving it

[neoleokabuto.]

It is curious that Lenovo has an intermediate model, it is the fusion of components and characteristics between the generations of the two models, it is the Legion 5 15ARP8

Hey ben, it would be better if you compare ryzen 9 7945 hx vs Intel i9 13900hx from the lenovo legion to compare the best of both intel and ryzen . Hope you do a

Intel 13th gen impressed us more with battery life this time than ryzen 7000.

Legion 7i 12900Hx + RTX3080TI vs Legion 5i 13900Hx +RTX4070. Which model is better for Matlab type simulations and light video editing.

[mohmmadqunibi]

i had the 2022 model and it was stolen two weeks ago 😢😢😢

[Abdooo-prqt]

lenovo legion pro 5 161rx8 vs lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8H ?

[Dlynnuj]

Спасибо за обзор! Как раз искал сравнение Pro варианта rtx 3070 ti и rtx 4070. Версия Slim с rtx 4070 внутри какая-то бедная…

Actually lenovo legion pro 5 2023 (8 gen) has two options for screen, 165 hz and 240 hz. 165 hz one is pretty much same as 2022 has, but with 300 nit brightness. And I was pretty upset to discover that models with rtx 4060 are paired with 165 hz screen.
And that made me wonder, should I even bother getting I7+4060 model or just go with I7+3070ti, considering price is pretty much same. Well, sure 13 gen processors are better, bur are they that better? I still don't know.
