Im guessing something is wrong with your zephyrus. Considering the same device on your chart with a 4070 consistently beat both devices in the cpu benchmarks by quite a margin. This performance also doesnt correspond with other reviewers like jarred.

I really like it. The ram is no issue for me because if we get the 32 gb then it should be enough. However, I'm worried about it not having a G-sync or free-sync. Most laptops with this price point have it. Let me know guys if you have any issues with screen tearing and input lack.

I bought the Lenovo with 32GB RAM. It’s been flawless. I mostly play Diablo 4 and Forza Horizon 5.

I have both in front of me right now.. but the G14 has a 4080. I’m trying desperately to justify keeping the 4080, but this Legion Slim 5 is giving me a serious dilemma. The screen is just absolutely stunning, it runs seriously cool, and the overall build is just superior. I wanted to not like the Legion Slim 5 but I’m thinking it will keep a permanent place as my travel gamer. And Lenovo running a sale right now to get it with 32g of RAM for $1281 out the door?? Game over.

This is exactly the Lenovo laptop I bought over the G14. The price difference is insane. Next year when 5080/90 launches, I'll get a G16.

Did you upgrade RAM in G14 2023 while doing the comparison tests or it had stock 16GB? As shown in one of your previous video, G14 2023 showed drastic change in performance when upgraded to 32GB RAM.

[arielniv]

right now the legion 5 slim is 1479 dollars and the g14 is 1200 the g14 got more portability but i think saving 280 dollars for the g14 is no brainer

[CAPT.BULLET]

G14 for sure more look like a sleeker design a aesthetic look but still super powerful for gaming compact

[Parky-pmsg]

Can you review the Acer Predator Triton 17x? Please as there are no in depth reviews of it and it’s a beast of a laptop for 2023 with a 250hz mini LED 17 inch screen option.

Thanks for the great Review. For the Lenovo Slim 5 I have some concerns about the Oled Screen because it may burn in (and also without Gsync), I'm not sure If I get this one or I switch to MAC OS with a Macbook M2 Pro, indeed there is a difference in price between those 2 (around 600$ at the moment) but I really want something powerful for Video Editing and Photoshop (will game from time to time but will use it mainly for work). Ben what are your thoughts?

[Polyeith]

Which would you get for the same price?

[SonicDestiny]

Is Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14-inch better than Asus rog zephyrus G15?

[farisnazeri]

Hello Ben, can you make an OLED care video that I can't see other YouTubers make a video about. how to take care of OLED screens and how to prevent OLED burn-in. in the future, I would like to buy Lenovo slim 5 14

I got the Lenovo Legion Slim 32gig in the black friday sale a much better deal than ASUS and the G14 was hard to find in stock in Australia (and more expensive).

[eladbari]

Which are the 14" competitors for heavy video + graphics editing?
Seems like we gotta wait for the 2024 model of the G14....

[darielprr]

I chose the 2022 G14 over the 2023

I hope in 2024 they work more on the thermals

[CentWenty]

Right after this video the g14 got much cheaper, the g14 is now 200 less instead of vice versa, also the used market for the g14 is super popular

[rickystafford]

g14 is $1100 right now, slim 5 is $1040 .

[nanomiterctech]

The cpu is running at a lower wattage just around 35W I guess.

How do you not mention the slim 5 is an oled display and the g14 is an ips display. Do u not think people would prefer an oled?
