Oled owner here with my unimportant opinion: I got the oled because of the other features, not because of the screen. If you have the lcd it's fine. Save up for the next iteration.
@@homiedogg6415 There’s plenty of negatives. I have a full review coming in a couple weeks. This was my first impressions of the glasses and generally, they’re really good. Are there some negatives? Yes, but I will cover those more in the full review.
Wait… what the fuck is this product? I was watching a steam deck review and the guy mentioned he uses these glass and basically just glossed over it. Didn’t say much, I thought it was some anti glare shit… and then I found your video and …what? This is like Apple vr with the pass through? You project a 135 inch display just where ever? Are you serious? And it looks good? I’m seriously amazed. I just bought the steam deck so I could game on my couch with the steam library but I guess I could have just gotten these instead…
@@adamwiseco4 Haha yeah! But you need a device in order to use them! So having a steamdeck is a great choice for these! I have a full review of them coming soon.
Idk why you would buy a gaming laptop with 8 gigs of ram for 1k when you can find much better options for that price. The 2023 g14 4060 was just on sale for around 1k
@@noah5793 I don’t blame you. I didn’t buy this machine. But it exists. And so I thought it would be interesting to test. The only versions of it I can find now are 16GB or more which at that rate does make it a solid little laptop.
@@noah5793 you and me both. I had to double confirm from Gigabyte to make sure this was the correct model because I too did not know why they'd ship a laptop with 8GB of RAM but here we are!
My wife bought a steamdeck for her indie games. So i will probably also play soms indies on it. I have a 4080 build with a oled g8 screen. That will be for the heavy games. Thanks for your info.
@@XXIVCONCEPT I know you can add your steam games to it which I did but not al my games are showing. I am hoping madden works but I don’t wanna buy it if it doesn’t.
Another 4k hype, I'm not convinced that games can be consistently run at 200+ hz refresh rate at 4k without sacrificing other aspects of quality, even with the 4090.
@@XXIVCONCEPT just wondering if it's that Nuphy one you reviewed a while ago (I scrolled your past videos and found it may be that) and if you're still actively using it.
@@Justin--xCONCR3T3 OOHHH YES! Dude I love my Nuphy boards. I actively use both. The Halo96 is my personal keyboard for my setup and the Air75 I use for travel. I highly recommend them. And if you’re interested you can get 10% off with code XXIV10 at checkout! If you decide to get one, let me know how you like it!
@@XXIVCONCEPT for sure man. I have just an old Corsair one but I picked up the 9i and I know I probably won't fully like the keyboard so seeing you use it yours plugged in, kinda leaning towards that as well. It didn't come with that cord in the vid did it? Cause your review it had a curled up cord but this vid it was sleaker
@@Justin--xCONCR3T3 No neither of those came with the board. I think I used a different USB C cable in the review but honestly the plain black one it comes with is fine! You can always pick up a slick cable later. There’s tons out there!
I found the same 4090 model for 3000 euro... is it possible to be that cheap? Brand new. Should i go for it? I mean the 4080 model of this costs 3500 euro... idk what to do. Any suggestions?
@@XXIVCONCEPT Yes its the most reputable store on our country. But my logic doesnt add up... 4090 being way cheaper than 4080. But yeah, thanks for sharing your opinion.
Dont consider L9 now, it has dozens of issues, use these topics in google search and you will fiind all the issues, even Notebookcheck has already 2 faulty L9s. Google it: "Lenovo-Legion-9-16IRX9-Legion-9i-review-How-high-end-is-the-RTX-4090-gamer" There are countless threads about the problems with the Legion 9i. Lenovo has been completely silent for months. People, including myself, have reported buying or replacing new Legion 9i dozens of times. The problems persist. Lenovo's departments cant decide who is responsible for those issues, and blaming each other back and forth. Raw product, that costs 4-5k bucks and is well known as flagship from the lenovo's side and reviewers, which didnt pay any money for it, sure they show only the positive sides and even licking lenovo's ass to show how great their water pump is, which is completely trash, 2c difference with it, is painful to see! 1) Disabling-raid-in-Legion-9i 2) Legion-9i-inaccessible-boot-device-error-after-setting-Hyper-V-in-windows-11 3) Disabling-raid-in-Legion-9i 4) Legion-9i-Crackling-audio-through-headset-only-in-Legion-Performance-Mode 5) Legion-9i-repair-came-back-worse-than-it-was-before 6) tutter-in-Performance-Mode-on-Legion-9i-RTX-4090 7) Lenovo-Legion-9-GEN-8-9-13980HX-14900HX-4090-VMD-Issues-High-DPC-Latency-Audio-Crackling(my post) 8) stutters_on_legion_9i(sure reddit isnt the best source, but still)
@@greysongaddy879 Awh thanks! Well, I just love making videos. The views may come. They may not. Either way- I make videos because I genuinely enjoy making them. And people like you finding them and liking them is just the cherry on top!
Idk. I can run Elden Ring on my steamdeck which start at under $500 so… Find me a gaming laptop for under $500 that’ll run Elden Ring. Switch is also priced pretty well for its performance. Windows handhelds are the only handhelds I’d argue maybe aren’t great when it comes to price to performance but they’re not all bad. In most cases for gaming, they’re still a better value than your average gaming laptop IF gaming is what you’re looking for.
@@XXIVCONCEPT not it isnt, not even remotely close. Laptops have a different price point yeah, but price to performance has a precise meaning: what you pay vs what you get. How much for a lcd steam deck, 400? Ok 400. And for an average 4060 laptop? How about 1000 bucks? Now, for example in cb23 steam deck manages like 4200 points, while that laptop will do 13000 or 16000. And it's in the graphics department when the real gap is, because a 4060 is easily 5 times faster than steam deck. The laptop is 150% more expensive, but 400% faster IN GAMES. So, back to the beginning, what you pay vs what you get. A simple, unquestionable division. And the division has no doubts.
@@niebuhr6197 I’ll agree you can literally measure performance using a standardized metric to understand it. But let me ask you this- is that performance VALUABLE if it’s not a device you wanna use? If it’s a device you don’t enjoy using? Value can’t be determined by some number. This is why I don’t do benchmarks on my channel. They don’t define the products value or overall experience thus are a rabbit hole in defining what is valuable and what is not. Which for consumers, is what actually matters. Measuring performance as a driver of value is an empty numbers race. It always has been. Marketing has trained you to think bigger number and lower price (price to performance ratio) = better value thus better product. But that is simply not always true. Subjectivity has its place in this subject as it pertains to a consumer purchase decision which is the basis of my video. So sure your 4060 laptop could have better price to performance in the data but who cares if the laptop sucks and I don’t wanna use it? People buy product they LIKE to use. Products they DO use. Not products that claim to be better value. Value speaks for itself. It cannot be measure by a standardized test or unit of measurement. Benchmarks help us understand a devices capabilities which in turn is reflected as relative performance and it’s pre-determined value is reflected in the price which is selected and set by the market and the OEM. But benchmarks do not determine a devices value to a user. Performance and Price are only factors. I don’t remember if I related this all back to value in my video- but that was my sticking point about price to performance as it relates to value to the user. Is it stated clearly anywhere that price to performance has a precise standardized meaning? I’d like to see it. Or are we assuming based on best practice what it means and removing the value factor from the conversation?
@@XXIVCONCEPT lmaoo.. but tbh.. when i got the tomtoc case.. i thought i got a defect one bc of how loud the locking thing is lol.. btw whats ur take on the new rog ally x?
@@Limitbreak09 Sooooo the X is like an Ally 1.5. Kinda like an OLED Steamdeck situation where if you LOVED the original Ally then the X is an OK upgrade if you’re a die hard fan. If you DONT have an Ally already and NEED a windows handheld then the X is the better option imo. Having tested the Legion Go, Ally, and the Claw and the Ayaneo 2S, so far the Ally is probably still my pick given its accessibility and software. That being said- Windows on a handheld ages like rotten milk. It just seemingly gets worse or more annoying as time goes on. So if you haven’t, watch some reviews of the X and the OLED steamdeck. I have a review of the original Ally and the OLED deck if you like, but if you just want a good handheld, go Steamdeck.
@@XXIVCONCEPT I actually have The trifecta Handheld Rog ally, Steam deck, and Legion. 2 being a gift and 1 i bought. So far tho i do have a use case for all the 3 lol 😆. Rog ally used to be my #1 but after using the legion go and sd it dropped down to #3. #1 legion and #2 the SD oled. Legion go was at the last bottom before, only because that abysmal sharp edges of the controller makes me NOT wanna use it. It so uncomfortable after like 15 mins! But voila! This grip i bought from etsy solve the problem! The grip is as good as the steam deck oled now! But i agree with you. If i need to suggest a handheld gaminh console to a casual, i would definitely say get the steam deck oled. The comfort of the ergonomics, the ease of use of the software, the play pause option is incredible, and most dont really mind playing abovr 30 fps.
When you benchmark Time Spy in performance mode, do you get stuttering and a graphics score in the 20k range? It should normally reach 2k more. If so, you can't recommend this machine to anyone because everyone has had this problem for months. It also happens regularly with AAA games.
My question is, how do I get the SD card to actually register? When I open up my storage menu, it just shows my C Drive and doesn’t show the device even having any externals storage connected to it.
Don’t forget with oled you can play HDR games. As someone who just upgraded my monitor to oled, it made me sell my lcd deck and upgrade to oled. My wallet ;(
Been contemplating between this and the 9i for live-streaming/video/photo editing for work & gaming on the side. Currently have a 2018 MBP & After effects/Premiere Pro are starting to get a bit laggy with heavier loads & rendering 4K
Facts. This is why I decided against buying an Ally, LeGo or a Deck. Yes they are compact, clean and portable but, damn, they are weak as hell. For the price of an Ally you can get a proper desktop (assuming you don't need a portable device).
My reference to “correct” has to do with how you choose to configure it for each game you play. Sadly HDR on Windows is a pretty awful experience so even if you turn it on in Windows and set a color profile, you’re still going to see some ghosting and other anomalies. My recommendation is to only enable HDR when playing HDR (Windows Key + Alt + B) enabled games and adjusting the HDR within the supported game. From there it’s up to you to figure what looks best to you. I recommend keeping HDR OFF in Windows itself. There’s no need to keep HDR on when just zooming around on the desktop in my opinion. Use that shortcut to enable and disable HDR as you please.
@@XXIVCONCEPT I understand. On this laptop when I turn on HDR in windows settings there is a slider labeled HDR Content Brightness Slider. What value do you set that to? For the asus zephyrus laptops asus has an article that recommends setting it to 100 (0 is actually the brightest here)
Great review. Wish I could have afforded to an 9i. Bought a 7i gen 9 instead for a really good discount direct from Lenovo. The only things I don't like about it is the short battery life per charge and Windows 11. Really like that it doesn't scream "GAMER!" with LED lights everywhere. It's like driving a sleeper car. ;)
Are there any options for smooth screen follow in the spacewalker app to counter for the motion sickness? Also, does the spacewalker app allows to dock the screen to be docked to the corners like the sideview on xreal beam. Personally, I will like to use it to view google maps at the corner while cycling if that's possible.
This monitor came out in 2023 or 2022 IIRC. So naturally it is not the first “this” year but at the time, it was one of the only if not the only one and was the first made widely available.
