nothing can surpass the designer brands collab fad of late 2000s

how much

​@@joseelvir9722$4000-4700

and not expensive enough

that's exactly what I thought this is so disappointing

this is exactly like the asus rog 1 and 2 phone's "metallic vents"... i personally used the rog 2, and i absolutely loved the looks, but the vents were just a gimmick... like literally nothing was attached to them... in fact the "cooling" was so powerful that my screen actually melted off of the phone... like literally after about a year and a half of solid gaming usage, slowly the whole front screen just peeled off and i was left with a working 120hz screen that just popped out anytime and i tried re-gluing it multiple times, but the phone just got wayyyyyy too hot and melted it off the device... i checked and many other users had the same issue... they fixed that issue, and now actually make working and usable vents and cooling mechanisms... if lenovo goes that way, then who knows, they may also prove the same story...

Agreed. It's probably a prototype design. Later iterations may try to find a way to pressurize the supply line side, which entravels the GPUs chip array, to be depressurized into the ambient air somewhere near the circulating pump.

It got water reservoir lmao

It doesn't have water cooling but water heat reservoir.

same

And then he spins it on his finger lol

@@darindial8908 yes 💀🤣

Its an opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.

​@krane15 Dumb comment. Of course stripped down its just an opinion. Everything else he includes is why he's successful giving "nothing more" than his opinion.

i havent watched this guy in months and now he got a head of beautifulass hair too

It looks like the “internal” aspect of it was the afterthought. Everything is laid out for it to be an external liquid loop. Just look at the port placement of the back panel. I think whatever agreement they had with an external liquid cooling company maybe crumbled, or somebody up high said “no external liquid cooling”. So they added a pump internally and closed the loop in on itself.

@@ahgflyguy or perhaps because it's a patented product we already offer;)

@@eluktronics That would be a good reason for them to get some sort of licensing agreement in place before dropping all the cash into the R&D. And definitely before manufacturing or buying so many of the the heat sinks, which look to have maybe been retrofitted to be closed by that pump, that they have to launch a ridiculous product just to get rid of the inventory. Tell BOAT I said hi, if this isn’t you. I can smell the snark. ;-)

Pushed further in the wrong direction

It probably does ok if you're running stuff that isn't 100% duty benchmarks - then that vram temp could stay cooler for longer.

Exactly my thoughts.

100% agree. I've always been a huge fan of gaming laptops because the idea of something so powerful being portable just makes me geek out. However, the last couple of gens, we've definitely reached a point where these things are more niche than ever and unless you're actually going to be taking it with you frequently and have a genuine use case, you really are just wasting your money otherwise. It wasn't that long ago that a top end mobile system was around 2-2.5k at the high end. Now that these things are 3, 4, 5, even 6k?! These don't make sense for the vast majority of people. I'm more of a windows/linux user, but at these ridiculous price points, you'd be better served by a MacBook Pro, if you're a traveling professional that needs a lot of power and battery life in something actually portable.

Idk, the rtx 4090 alone is 2000$ You would be better with the full computer for 2900$ (price of the lenovo legion 7 pro)

​@@Tenkin42mobile 4090 and desktop 4090 are not the same

more like $3k

Agreed. The way they designed the water cooling solution looks pretty piss poor. Almost like an afterthought, even though it was the main thing they were advertising. Take away that 3rd fan and make the whole back half a loop that covers both the CPU/GPU. That's what I was expecting when they announced this. :/

@@27Binx72 You shouldn't call it a water cooling solution. That has like what? 10 ml of water? Once that water heats up, you're just spinning it in a loop. It's not connected to a radiator, you're just pumping hot water around, it doesn't actually cool your system. It's basically false advertising, that's no more a cooling solution than stirring your hot coffee inside your PC.

@@27Binx72 i can bet they tried but airflow in those radiator fins was to clogged then and overall performance was worse

on top of all that i don't see point in water-cooling laptop when you don't have support to push hardware harder. Even Prometheus g2 cooler is pointless when nvidia will never let me to push that rtx 4080 (or how some likes to call it laptop 4090) to 200w cos of that better cooling

Yuuuup

The point of laptops like these is exactly "future big games" aka future proofing

future proofing doesn't really exist.@@EyeOfTheTiger777

​@@Dave2D But if you want to play competitively, you can always tune down the display resolution and get mor fps, but many gamers would actually enjoy the 3.2k screen for story mode. So I don't really see how having a higher resolution = worse gaming experience

@@Dave2DThere's a telegram scammer in the comments replying to a bunch of people

I'd have still understood had the 9i came with an inbuilt 4TB SSD & 64GB RAM, but well...they missed that chance as well

you sure that you have bought the 4090 version? not the 4080 ? atleast in my country they only make 9i with 4090 ... im just wondering how they put ddr5 ram with 6400mhz

Is this a real question? I'm sure the 7i pro I have that is labeled rtx 4090 is a real 4090. I benchmarked it and everything too, its genuine. You might not have that model where you live. The ram I have is 5600. heres the part number if you want to look it up on google : 82WQ0005US@@xthundercatx9852

@@xthundercatx9852The USA gets significantly better pricing on the Legion 7i with RTX 4090. The rest of the world gets shafted by prices.

@@aybaws i have any asus strix scar 16 with 4090 and i bought for "only" 3600 on sale

Is not even a good first step, the heat in the water is not going anywhere, there is not heat exchanger. It looks like it was designed by a student who never went to a thermodynamics class. Is not even useful

@@fofopads4450 I agree with you halfway. The buyers on this will not be happy for sure. Thing is sometimes the mere appearance of a novelty starts a conversation & often an outbidding competition between manufacturers which more than often leads to actually better products. For example - first phones with liquid cooling were kinda similar too - just gimmicky. But within a year or two the volume of the liquid increased (even if slightly) , the length of the cooling module, the size of graphite pads increased, some companies came out with actual fans inside their phones like the Nubia RedMagic series. ASUS ROG series is having a crazy nice design too with their Thermoelectric Peltier aerocoolers. You may disagree & call me a fool along with many other things but please do include “hopeless optimist” amongst them too 😄🤘🏼

Pelter is quite stupid because of how inefficient it is. It works on phones because they produce so little. There are laptops that have actual water cooling like eluktronics that drops temps by quite a bit.

What you are making your wallet miss out on more like! Wallets are evil things, they want to entice you to buy everything you see with RGBs on :)

@@DailyCorvid ain't that the truth 🤣

Hahaahhaahha. Winner of a spam. These guys are funny.

i wish no one would shoot 60 fps, it's unnecessary

@@benjackson6260Price of using bleeding edge tech. Sometimes we get an absolute champ & sometimes a stinkin dud. Kinda similar to pioneers in all fields back in the day like say explorers who either found paradise lands or died with their flag on some barren hellhole stump🥲

my rog 2's motherboard got fried just after 1 and a half years@@benjackson6260

the liquid cooler doesn't cool the gpu or cpu so it doesn't matter. it hardly cools the vram anyway.

This generation is not power limited. They would need different cards with more headroom from nvidia to do that

@@Dark.Syndicateits less about cooling the vram and delaying its heat. Keep in mind he is using benchmarking to push the system. I think dave also leaves out the screen difference in sRGB on 7i Pro vs Adobe RGB / P3 (swappable) 😢on 9i, so for any sort of editor/colourist/etc, this is a great travel machine - especially if you’re working on feature films/TV (not content creation, as then you want to colour towards the lowest common denominator and the colour matters less)

Those chips are so cut down, even if they reach the same clockspeed as their desktop equivalents they won't be close in performance

no matter what part they were trying to cool this system would be pointless since the heat is not dumped anywhere since there is no radiator,

Ports are better on the 7 tho

Man one thing I learned is how your hair makes huge diff. People say I look young now even thought I grew out my beard, but I changed my hair haha. Somehow looked much older WITHTOUT beard but older looking hair

It's not a bad idea. Except you now have to game at Starbucks since you don't have a house. Oh well. Priorities!

Unless you’re traveling everyday why buy a laptop when you can get a powerful desktop? Curious

@@rokko_hates_japan he said sold a house not his house probably a realtor also this laptop doesn’t even look efficient for traveling probably weighs a ton

ill say hi to you if i ever see a nomad with an absolutely specced out gaming laptop

Or you could just play in 1440p with more fps, and enjoy the 3.2k screen for story mode

why not just run 2560x1600? upscaling still has imperfections

@@ACE112ACE112 upscaling from 1600p to 2000p with dlss looks better than native 1600p.

@@mrrgb4954 No.Your eyes and brain does builtin AI upscaling too, and much better than NVidia ever can.

Atleast they should've made the Legion pro 9i an 18" model. Seriously that would've given them enough room for improvements and the 3.2K resolution would've made sense. Front firing speakers and heck more can be done

That's what they did and called it 9i

The worst part is that the Gen 7 Legion 7s were full aluminium, so they took it away to then upsell it in the Legion 9i

​@@nellatlis there going to be a Pro 9i ??

Not likely since the 9i is the new top dog. And it will be the one which has the SD card slot. If Legion pro 7i has the ports you mentioned then the 9i is pretty much useless.

@@allstargaming2500 I'm actually surprised that they included those two features in the Legion 9i, as gamers typically don't require the 40Gbps ports or the SD card reader. At least, that has been their reasoning behind it. Historically, they have directed content creators such as editors, motion graphics designers, and 3D animators to the Thinkpad line of mobile workstations.

Untrue. The Legion Pro 7i has excellent performance and runs cool. A few oversights that I can live with, given that everything else is excellent.

​@fmulleady Untrue. They made have a worse port selection, a worse design, no Windows Hello support, worse trackpad material, and only the RTX 4080 & 4090 configurations get Thunderbolt. Personally, those are deal breakers for the price. I want Windows Hello on a laptop.

@@cameronbosch1213 Windows Hello may be a deal breaker for you, but it's not the same for everyone else. The trackpad is fine and I use a mouse or Xbox controller for gaming. I need Win Hello on my ultraportable. It isn't untrue that the performance is excellent, and it's still a very good laptop. Each to their own. I found the exclusion strange but not the end of the world, given the RTX3080 mobile performance on mine.

​@@cameronbosch1213Absolutely true. Atleast the 9i should've received the Windows Hello and 1440p60fps 5MP camera for this price point. This is where Razer shines.

@@allstargaming2500 The 9i has a fingerprint sensor in the power button. This year's Legion Pro 7, despite last year having it, doesn't.

girl...

Many gamers would actually enjoy the 3.2k screen for story mode + Video editing would look way better. This dude said that the performance is on par with the legion pro 7, but he also said it doesn't offer top gaming experience. How does that even make sense? Like the legion pro 7i itself offers top gaming experience

​@@JustADudeGamer Then just don't run the game at 4k internal right? Use upscaling or just 1440p internal resolution. We have all these modern TAA, dynamic resolution, DLSS, FSR technologies so use them.
