Legion Pro 5 is definitely a great laptop. It's powerful and at the same time well priced. Although the only drawback is that it's not fully metal.

I'd generally wait a month or two until we see all these intel ultra laptops get reviewed (after all the "pre-production/sponsored videos" are done). Seems like the best chip for a laptop paired with the arc GPU. Battery life looks great as well as performance (unless you are looking for a gaming rig then get one with a dedicated GPU). If I was looking at a gaming-centric laptop and was not worrying about battery life or weight, go with the sales that are going on with the 13th gen intel laptops (or even the 12th gen). Thanks for the video!

Just purchased the Legion slim 5 14” recently and I have to say I am blown away by the bang for buck on performance, build and that 2.8k oled screen. Got the R7, 32GB and 1TB SSD model for £1240 in the UK from Lenovo. I don’t think there is a better value all round laptop out there. Also love it’s less gamery aesthetic and can remain incognito when blasting Forza 5 on the train 😂

[yusf]

Hi, thanks for reviewing but which laptop is thin and better for engineering?

[anthonymrbs]

I've had the Yoga 9i the past few years and it is by far the best laptop I've every owned. I used to buy Dell but it seems like the motherboards would go out within 18 months.

[tyittogether]

Are these laptops compatible with go pro and does it have a lot of gb or ram

[wlifting]

hi, would you choose Lenovo - Yoga Pro 9i 16" 3.2K Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD - Luna Grey for $1899 or Lenovo - Slim Pro 9i 14.5" 3k MiniLED Touchscreen Laptop - Core i7-13705H with 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 - 1TB SSD - Storm Grey for $1399. Both in Best Buy. Thank you.

[animedropouts]

What do you think of a Legion 5 with 165hz display, 4060, 32GB DDR5 and 1TB for 1200? Deciding between this and the G14 but I missed the G14 sale!

[bobpsi]

Please recommend... Lenovo legion slim 5 14.5 inch with 7840hs, 32 ram, 4060, 1 tb storage vs asus vivobook 15 pro 15.6 inch, intel core 9, 24 ram, 4060 and 1tb storage.... asus is a bit more expensive... i mostly work with photoshop and lightroom...photoediting.... is asus worth over lenovo for 200 eur more?

[MayaKarampalasi]

Which laptops do you recommend for heavy design work and maybe some gaming with great stylus support? Is there a yoga you'd recommend? I think that's the kind of laptop I am looking for. I am looking to have (hopefully) a 2 in 1 solution that is strong and reliable. Thank you!

[jameskirk]

Which is easy to upgrade? Ram/ssd/ wifi etc?

[Chornobog]

Sir, please help me choose between
I need a more office-like design, but with the ability to play games sometimes.
Usage: 70% of the time - office work, 20% - movies, 10% - games
I have settled on the following models so far
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16IRH8 Misty Gray (82YA00C6RA)
Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16IRH8 Glacier White (82Y30086RA)
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8 (82WK00MHRA)
Does it make sense to pay more and buy a Slim 7 or Pro 5?
If so, which one is better?
Or should I consider other brands and models?

[IMvictory]

I’m considering getting the Yoga 7i. I’m a student wanting a portable laptop that can handle all my studies but also be decent for entertainment like streaming and maybe light gaming. Would anyone recommend this and is there any cons I should consider?

[Themoroccanyamani]

What’s better macbook air 16 gb or lenovo legion 5i pro 16 gb

[suilodg]

Use will be mainly with Mya. Movie animation making. Touch/pen is important. Or shall I ask, what laptop that is out now (with touch and 32g RAM) would you purchase your son who is an animation artist (2D to movie)???? Budget up to $2k ish

[BrianFlores-mqpj]

Did you consider the ASUS Zenbook 14x?

[Ninja_Samurai-ddkq]

Also make videos exclusively 2in1touch and stylus support laptops.
