Good to see mid-range Ryzen Phoenix laptops finally hitting the market -and with great value as well. Very good in-depth review. If I could make a suggestion: I'm interested in seeing the performance of this CPU benchmarked, and I imagine many people would as well, especially since there aren't any benchmarks of 7840HS in a laptop.

Excellent review! Appreciate the look under the hood, noise levels, thermals and that underrated 300 nit display. Brightness uniformity looks even better than on 500 nit panel - though due to sample variance, YMMV. I’ve seen a few reviews for the 5i variant, but your is THE first for AMD, beating even titans such as Jarrod’s Tech and Notebookcheck. Speaking of the latter, I’ve sent them a link to your video, and hope they’ll post in on the product page. They’ve covered the exact same SKU in one of their articles - but are yet to link any reviews (and/or publish their own). If I may ask, have you seen any options to undervolt dGPU via either Vantage or BIOS? If not, it would be interesting to see how this laptop performs using iGPU alone - e.g. battery life, thermals and acoustics using only Radeon 780M. Because if anything, this is one area where Slim 5 should beat the latest Pro models (as their integrated graphics are far slower / less useful on their own).
@TechGuyBeau
@TechGuyBeau 11 месяцев назад
I haven’t done any undervolting, but as you say the 780m is exceptionally capable as a daily driver iGPU for even moderate gaming tasks. The battery life is quite good in mixed mode (hybrid), if you through it into iGPU mode it goes up further. I found the same tend with the Lenovo LOQ I reviewed a few weeks ago (7640HS with the 760m). Heck I even did gaming in the mere 760m and was shocked at the results. The 780m simply does even better than the 760m And yes the pro models only have 710m, which are much inferior. Still good enough for daily tasks but not for more intensive tasks

Thanks man, I was looking for someone actually reviewing this machine. Great review. I'd say not having usb4 is quite a big price cutting, but at least you get hdmi 2.1 which for some reason, not many laptops include. I have some weird feeling that it might be cutting power on GPU based on temp. It would be good if you showed GPU frequencies too. Because, you know, its hard to believe GPU drawing 100w, using full potential and still sitting below 75c. If I'm wrong, then I will just order this right now. I don't mind fan noise because when I'm gaming I'm using headphones.

Please help me with the choice between these 2 Legion Slim 5 AMD 7840hs or Legion Pro 5i Intel I7 13700HS AMD RAM is 5600 MHz , Intel one is 4800 MHz GPU for both is RTX 4060 Intel CPU one costs $20 more, so makes no difference. All of the other specifications are the same Which one will you recommend ?

@TechGuyBeau 11 месяцев назад
The amd had the better cpu and will be a slightly faster machine, but the pro 5 will have somewhat better build quality If battery life is very important get the slim If you are okay with being plugged in more frequently the pro 5 is slightly better in terms of overall build quality

I think it's called slim because of the power efficient HS cpu instead of the HX desktop powered cpus that the pro has. Weird naming but this seems to be the reason

I'd recommend any other brand but MSI and Asus since Asus also has had issues with warranties recently...
