Is the arrows placement an issue when typing?

@@Aveirah nope

Can you trust the processor due to current issues with it?

same lmaooo

lololol, not when its break time :P

Unless you get caught

my school doesn’t even let us download gaming apps for our laptop… got an rtx 4070 for nothing.

@@xajeo wishing you luck.

@@AdityaKumar-yo8qv thank you bro

hey fellow student! glad to meet you too and dont give up on your dreams~

Glad you liked it!!

thanks and nice!! getting a new piece of tech is always exciting

​@@elacodeshow the battery life while programming while not plugged in? thanks.

thanks for the feedback :)

you can use the C170w charger that Lenovo has recently launched to replace that brick

@@longhoang8328 it's not really a priority for me right now and I go long periods where I'm stationary anyway. I can live with the inconvenience of it being heavy for now.

Is the arrows placement an issue when typing? I do a lot of typing and it looks so awkward to me.

@@Aveirah I type a lot on mine & it's never bothered me. The keyboards are particularly nice on a lot of Lenovo laptops & that applies to their Legion lineup as well.

yay glad you enjoyed it as much as i do!!

no frickin way. can you send me a link to that?!!?!

@@elacodes youtube doesnt allow me to add any links and I'm also not certain about which region you live in so you can try with "ali express" or "vop tronics" with C170w legion.

@@longhoang8328 and what legion laptop do you use it for?

@@elacodes mine is a R7000 with Ryzen 7 7840H and a 4060. the C170w supports all ranges of Legion laptops so probably yours is supported.However, the thing is, mine needs to be updated with latest bios for the C170 to enable the performance mode (red power button), if not it only runs balance mode. So once you find a retailer selling that charger just ask them whether your laptop is supported ( just in case). BTW, I love your legion white model, it's gorgeous but it's double the price of my legion in Vietnam . I'm quite jealous with you though

I probably re-watched the office a million times

Hi there, thank you!! 1. it is i9 (double checked in task manager). not sure why the sticker is i7? 2. it gets warm during development work but the fan is not loud during light tasks. Again, I have my settings so that when my laptop isnt plugged in, the discrete gpu is off. When plugged in, it turns on again and that's usually when im doing heavier tasks like gaming or video editing.

nice! I found the same with mine (~3 hours of battery life after having applied optimized settings). for gaming though, I definitely recommend keeping it plugged in.

@@elacodes ur right on optimised settings get an approx of 4 hours and 20 minutes of charge without being plugged though for gaming the most preferable is to be plugged in its the more logical and prolonging choice anyway hope u enjoy ur legion spec I'll enjoy mine 😊

hello and thank you! 1) it's simply a mock up website. if the hayden planetarium does exist, the assignment is purely for educational learning & not used by them :D 2) it's a local college (in Canada, university and college are two different institutions and different graduate levels)

@@elacodesoh, it's a dummy website.

Blame that on their packaging team, not me. i9 is correct. HAHA

With VSC, I think around 2.5 hours give or take. It was along with a couple of other things like chrome, images, spotify, & notion (iirc), but that is a rough estimate.

@@elacodes oh lower than expected. are you using any powerbanks with it?

here, take some tissue

I recommend you the Yoga Pro 9i. It has 32 gigs of ram instead of the 16 of the g16. Also has touchscreen and a higher 3.2k mini-led display (165 hz, better color accuracy), Longer battery life and it is cooler and silent than the g16 and legion 7i. It's also cheaper. (the only downside is that here in the usa it only max up to a 4060)

@@esjaimecotai was considering that laptop too but for where Im from, they offer free monitor, headphones, mouse, backpack and onsite warrantt for the education offer. The price is the same with all the same specs except the screen

I got a 15.6" backpack and sleeve. The sleeve is a couple years old and Im having trouble finding it in amazon :( backpack - amzn.to/3WPzbCh

the fan gets loud (i cant say how much louder or quieter than other gaming laptops but maybe you could search this up) but the max temps I got were around 75

The battery get’s quite hot (38 degrees Celsius according to Lenovo Vantage) even in office workloads. You can costomize the fan curve and ramp them up earlier. This leads to lower CPU and battery temps. What I do not like about the big boi 😅 are the chassis temps in the area near the screen, even in light tasks. But again: you can choose between a quiet device or a cool device. When you want that much power in a portable package you cannot expect both. I chose the RTX 4060, because i do not game, but even with this one on heavy loads power consumption is arround 200 Watts so either it sips on the battery under heavy loads when used with the 170 Watt charger (I love this one, too, because it has half the weight of the 230 watt brick 🧱) or it has to reduce performance. I love the display (3K 165 Hz, again I do not game) and the keyboard, the touchpad could have better palm rejection, but you quickly turn it off or on with a function key, so it is not a deal breaker. The touchpad itself is the best I used with e Windows Laptop. Battery in light to middleweight tasks is about 3, maybe 3 and a half hour, I do not know how other users or youtubers get much more or measure longer runtimes in real world usage scenarios? In general the Legion 7i is a beautiful and very powerful device and my daily driver for about a month. Wouldn’t change it😊

On the guides inside the box of the laptop, you can find the specs of the laptop and the Wattage needed for it to charge. With that you can buy a cable that suits thoses requirements.

With optimized settings and light usage, I get around 3-3.5 hours. Using heavier loads will reduce it, depending on what youre doing of course, because this laptop has a powerful cpu & gpu (ie. they eat up battery life).

Im not sure about color accuracy, I can only compare it to my other monitors. At full brightness, it definitely looks more vivid

just yall, ded game

Probably you and her

iphone 14 pro max

Yes! Seems to me like you have seen a lot of content such as “AI will replace developer jobs”. It’s not completely true.

it was a requirement for our course mostly

Well I mean if you looked at the specs, it's got an extremely capable CPU and GPU. Paired with 32gb of ram, you can pretty much run any software..

02:53

@@elacodes ah missed that, thanks!

Luckily this term, I didnt need any physical textbooks so they're digital. But I do have other books in general (fiction/non-fiction) which I keep in a bookcase

well to have an efficient system for software dev, you need a capable cpu and lots of ram, so naturally my answer to your question will be yes. have you taken a look at the specs?

@@elacodes I haven't seen the details but the road test often counts more than the numbers

it's divoom ditoo - amzn.to/3S9ao9y

@@elacodes tysm for going as far as to giving the link!!

With light use using my updated optimized settings - i get ~5 hours. (I know I previously replied to some comments on here with other numbers) With heavier use, around 3 hours

it's Notion :)

I literally just google 4k wallpapers and start searching from there hahaha

@@elacodes Wallpaper engine?

In the video, when I played valorant, I think I played 2-3 deathmatch games & yes it was unplugged

@@elacodes wooowww 🤯🤯...

that depends... what kind of noise are you thinking? LOL

@@elacodes like fan noise? are they loud?

I'm currently a student and use content creation as a freelancing source of income

I think I got it from amazon many years ago

We could agree to disagree

@@elacodes i say that cus in my case i need one for college

yes its for free (google it)

it was notion :)

haha thanks :D

I WILL TRY

overwatch - battle net valorant - riot games

@@elacodes Thanks so much!

To answer your question, I game, I code, I edit :)

girl, your hair is gorg

@@elacodes thank you

thicc and… juicy? 😭🤣
