The Legion 9i makes all Laptops look Pathetic 

then buy used. Technology are not simple dead giveaways

Then don’t buy new, windows machines can be bought used/refurbished now since the tech is good enough to last for years.

It's cheaper to build a pc

don't worry, used cars will go up in price :)

@@slimcognito. The problem is that argument doesnt work here. People in the market for high end laptops like this need the portability. Even the most compact of itx builds doesnt compete with the utility provided here. I ordered one solely because of how often I travel and how convenient it would be. Seems much better than my current thinkpad!

good job on the discount!

I’ve been running 2k display from Hawaii.

Unfortunately the pad was F’r up

Do you recommend me to buy this laptop for creating games and animations?

Depends on what level of game creation but you would probably be fine taking a 4080 with the same CPU. Animation should also be fine with a 4080 but then again I am typing this on a Mac; so do some research.

​@shahzadshahzad5610 I have the same spec'd laptop, and it can run AAA just fine Hogwarts Legacy on High preset Medium RT with DLSS Quality gets ~100fps

I have the 9i, the screen is fantastic and build quality is great. Turn off Nahemic and the speakers are pretty good too. The Spectrum software for the lighting is buggy but Legion Toolkit completely fixes it. If you can make the price right with discounts and coupons, go for it. Just beware of the weird keyboard position and small trackpad.

yeap, diminishing return it is! But you got carbon fiber tho 😂😂

the cooling system is a gimmick.

its negligeable. really.

The same argument can be made for the Razer Blade and Alienware laptops. There are cheap Acer gaming laptops that are more powerful than the legion 7i but I still bought a legion 9i because it looks awesome, is built better and has just a few more features.

What is your opinion on the Lenovo LOQ series as it is kind of in the middle between ideapad series and legion series, coz in my country, legion is wayy overpriced.

My 7i Pro wasn't too hard to open, I fitted a second SSD. We'll see how this 9i Pro fares.

​@@abcdefgh6121no. The LOQ series replaces the Ideapad Gaming series.

you really gonna buy that thing?

i cant decide to get the this laptops or go with 7i like yours there both 4090 but one is 3800 other is 3100

​@ZOMBIE_WORLD Go with the 7i pro. Got one two weeks ago. Spectacular laptop. Don't see the need for water cooling especially when there's nothing to really keep the water cool in the first place. The 7i pro has great thermals, bright and vibrant screen and nice heft.

@@ZOMBIE_WORLD Are your drivers updated? Is it on dgpu and performance mode? When I checked for system updates in vantage and windows I had many to deal with. 30+ at least after first turning on the laptop.

Congrats! Which graphics card did you go with? The 4080 or 4090?

Did yours come with the new lac3 ai chip?

Also, what region are you guys in?

Same but with 2070 max Q XD

its just that must things people do with ther laptops (including gaming) arent that demanding as we think of it. Yeah there much better video cards/cpu´s but playing most games on normal grapics will do with a lot of "weaker" hardware ps 3050 laptop actually quite nice not great but will do as you experienced

gaming laptops are kinda eww. would rather buy a pimped out desktop, huge monitor, and a steam deck.

Thinking about this variant right now (Legion i9 4090 vs M16 4090) and it gives me headache what is better xD

@@ratus the M16 is really nice. The sd card is uhs II, the ram is fully upgradable, space for extra SSD. It's a great machine. Gorgeous display, great speakers. The 4080 is sufficient for me for everything and sorta futureproof compared to the 4060/4070 versions. I haven't had any manufacturer defect which can happen with laptops and also almost zero light bleed.

I'm looking to get this laptop for traveling and gaming. Do you think the screen and 4080 are worth it? I was looking at the 4070, but I really want the better screen and obviously a 4080 is better, but costs like $700 more.

@@pludini5266 yeah I know what you mean. I had that dilema as well. The 4090 version is too over priced but at 2699 for the 4080 with 1TB storage and the miniled screen, it's not bad. Plus I went for the 4080 because of the 12gb vram so in later years I still have some buffer. Plus that miniled screen is great and so bright. Def notice the haloing on dark backgrounds when the screen is in multi zone config but it's an easy fix by changing to single zone. The laptop is fast and very well built. I'd definitely recommend it. If you feel the 4070 is enough and you want to save 700, then yeah go for the lower spec. Just a great laptop. Only gripe is AMD CPUs would have so much better impact on battery.

@@theompman yea true it’s a shame there’s no amd option

for real. for that much you could buy a maxed out speced PC and A rogally or lenovo legion go or steam deck or switch, your handheld of choice really

You can just pick it up and take it anywhere tho 😅

@@ultimatebreak827have fun playing 4K games at a coffee shop with your 45 pound desktop pc.

you didn't get my point!@@EyeOfTheTiger777 I get that laptops are portable! I also have a laptop due to its portability! but I'm saying that at this price this thing is not what it should be! considering new prices on the market right now (in the UK for example) you can get a full speck computer (4090/64gbram/7959x) for a little over 3k and you still have something to get a decent laptop for "portability" I, for example, went out and got myself an Asus ROG Flow x13 and I can do whatever i would like to do on it without a problem... I get that this laptop will be much more powerful than a 1.5/2k laptop but sincerely when you get to this point these laptops are really not that portable anyway... all that weight and added stuff to the bag (plus you will need it to be plugged in to have that kind of performances) it's just reeeaaallyyy not worth it! not at that price! so I get that you can pick it up and go anywhere but is it worth it? at that price? and for how many people will it be? and then the manufacturers will be well we've offered them the most powerful laptops but they just didn't buy them! they must not want powerful portability... and they go and give you crap for more money... and you can really see in the comments that people are really not that attracted to the product because of its price!

@@viezurelepanykt Its almost like these companies are hinting at modern LAN parties lol. Hey bro bring your laptop over so we can COD/CS party!

4090 is useless in that machine online 115 watts

@@nellatl he needs portability, which may be counterintuitive, but even at 115W, it still outperformed 4070 even if you crank to the maximum 140W

Indeed, the type of work I do benefits from having as many CUDA cores as possible for parallelism, rather than higher clock speed. I have a separate Legion 7i Pro 4080 laptop which can run its GPU at max wattage, but it’s a significantly thicker and heavier machine.

TGP of 80w was why I stopped looking at the P1. I bet an asus g14 will run rings around the p1.

@@sflxn naturally, this is highly subjective, but for me, it really didn’t. I’ve sold my ASUS to upgrade to the P1. There’s much more to a laptop than its list of specs. ASUS had a worse keyboard, trackpad, screen and customer support, but it was also cheaper, so not a like for like comparison. I just wanted a bigger screen without adding too much weight. For me, P1 is the best thin and light mobile workstation out there if you want the ultimate mix of quality and portability, not if you just want highest possible performance. Lenovo’s Legion series are a better fit purely for performance, as long as you don’t mind something thicker and heavier (so you’re trading off portability for performance). The Legion is a gaming-first machine with balls-out performance where you can also run productivity apps. The P1 is a mobile workstation where ergonomics, reliability and comfort comes first, so it has conservative tuning to tame fan noise and chassis temps. It can also happen to run games rather well on the side, but it’s not its primary purpose in life. To say the P1 is useless because it doesn’t run its GPU at a zillion watts is like saying a Rolls-Royce is useless because it can’t go at 200 mph. It was never designed to do that. It’s designed for users with different priorities and different preferences. I’m not hating on ASUS by the way, G14 was a really nice machine for the price and I have an ASUS X670E Extreme motherboard in my desktop PC with an ASUS Harpe mouse. It’s good to have options from different brands. It’s just that when it comes to Windows/Linux laptops, I prefer ThinkPads over anything else and I’m excited to finally have a thin and light ThinkPad which can run anything I throw at it at a good level of performance without sounding like a jet engine. The battery life still sucks, but that’s inevitable with any Intel laptop with comparable specs.

then there will be a much high end gpu in maket

in 5 years you will get the same performance from budget rtx 6060

Edit: I saw in the video that you mentioned this. 100% have the exact same issue that you mentioned.

The problem also exists on my computer. German Lenovo Legion i9 with 4090. I also spoke to support. The rest of the notebook is 1A. Love it. Update - there is a workaround. RGB is OK if Legion Vintage Software is minimized and the RGB profiles are changed using Short tasks Fn+Spacebar. Only change and save your profile if necessary using Legion Vintage. Then minimize the program and use the short task to switch through the RGB profiles.

Having the exact same issue I thought I was going crazy

No because they actually have excellent warranties. They have next day at your home repair services

​@@nellatlDo note it's region dependent though. I paid for premium warranty, and got shafted _hard_ as the best Lenovo could offer me was repair times of over 30 days.

It won't unless you are able to run a freon style chiller system, (not even sure this exists) internally there is no way it is possible for this laptop to displace the heat generated by the components. Temps are probably fine for an hour after that you would probably burn your fingers. Spend 3.5k and build a badass gaming rig then spend another 1k for a lower pc and just stream your desktop to the laptop and sidestep the temp issue.

It overheats even in balanced mode?

@@NGT4LIFE it will overheat while booting into windows

there is no 13700hx 4060 sku's i guess your confusing the 5i pro with the pro 7i, haven't seen anyone with cooling issues with an legion pro 7..

Taxes

They're exactly the same price, the US v4090 costs like $4400, add 20%VAT then convert to €

5500 euros 0_0 even worse than I thought .. Asus rog strix or legion 7 seems to be our only budget choice

20+ % VAT in most Eu countries

Top one (4090 ,dual nvme,32 GB 5600 ddr5) is 6600 EUR🤔😂🤣 1000 over the One specced with a single ssd (but twice the ram)

I agree, but the RAM isn't soldered; it's just flipped on the other side of the motherboard.

agree with pretty much everything except for the design, i think it looks absolutely cool and way better than msi titan, but such things are subjective.. all i can do is look at these luxury laptops, hyper expensive toys

Depends if the 500€ the Blade 16 is cheaper (at least here in germany) with the same specs is nothing to you. Then its a no brainer yes.

Yeah! It kinda looks like it. Been comparing it with the Razer Blade16 like forever. Only thing I don't like about it is the trackpad. Not great. Razer's is way better here but the performance on the Legion is better.

@TheDude50447 Tests are coming out. Same specs but Legion is running higher performance numbers, with cooler temperatures, and significantly less fan noise compared to the Blade 16. Lenovo has a winner here

Different people value different things. As a former legion 7i and now a razer blade 16 owner I can assure you both brands are great in their own way, but focus on different things. You normally don't buy razer if you want absolute best performance or the best price. You do it if you value a certain look. Lenovo on the other hand offers a much better cooling solution and normally a better price to perfomance value (questionable with current legion 9 prices though...) My point: I would not change my blade 16 for a legion 9, even though it certainly performs much better. I don't want the 'gamer look' of a legion. Simple as that.

@@UrdnotAkongo Yeah. Obviously Im purely talking about the pricing. Imo price to performance is still horrible for both. The Asus Scar 18 with 4080 and 13980hx was recently on sale here for 3000€. For the same specs the blade 16 is 1000 and the legion 9 1400€ more expensive.

Well , nobody cares

Right, you can build a SFF in 10-11 L cases like Fractal Terra or H2O with 4070Ti or 4080 have better performance and have money left to get a decent Legion for portable gaming

Exactly, money much better spent than blowing so much on a laptop

Such a dumb thing to say. Obviously this laptop is not for you. Try taking the desktop with you on the plane 🤦

Stay tuned
