Thk for the review man! ✌️
I appreciate your energy lol. Im getting this cpu it will be the 32gb. This all started with just wanting to play the sims 4 on a yoga for 899. Then a slim 7i, Alien 17x on sale 2500 to a legion pro. What a journey the last few nights with no sleep.
Such a good and informative video. The first descent video about this laptop.
Have 3 old Lenova i7's all with 32gb and 2tb drives. They are serving me well as editing and traveling ... they run Linux and all are configured identically. Happy with setup. I like Lenova business laptops and workstations. Cheers
👌👌
Boy your RAM upgrade video did crack me up. Love your content. I have the 10th gen Lenovo legion 7i 10750h rtx 2070 super max q 81YT005TUS. Been looking for content on this 13th gen. I use mine for Architectural softwares
🤙
7:34 - I feel you! I’m have ASD as well, and once my computer lags or slows down for any reason my hyper-focus goes out the window 😔 being on the spectrum is like having a super power but also our Achilles heel is literally any inconvenience in the workflow lol
Lol yup!
Hell yeah. I was gonna upgrade to another XPS but I may have to consider this now.
🤙🤙
I feel you with the whole PC thing. I love my Windows experience and have tries Mac a couple of times and I really couldn't switch.
I'd love a Macbook Pro 16" with all that it gives performance wise, screen, battery etc. if it had Windows. Gorgeous hardware.
But luckily we've been getting some nice machines in 2022 and now in 2023.
👌👌
I've been trying my whole life to switch to Mac, but today! Finally today! I noticed that I hate Macbook, I like iPhone but not Macbook.
I love excel, I use it every single day, I've all possible shortcuts memorized and when I try to work on Macbook, my production decrease in 80%, I feel so stressed.
Anyway, watching this video and reading your comment makes me letting out! lol
I'll try to sell my MacBook tomorrow...
The end 😂 got you a new sub for that bit. Remember that super fat comic from the 90s, “You been here 4 hour! You eat all da foood!”
Just picked up the 4090 variant from B&H this weekend based about 50% on this video. Also got 64GB RAM and a 4TB storage ssd….found a used Legion backpack on eBay for $25….I think I’ll be ready.
Great reviews and making sense. New sub 💪 was searching for asus laptop and fall on your vdo now you completely changed my mind😅
I follow you for the Sony camera videos and short usually. Funny you were the only one who come up (and delivered) as I was looking for the max ram of the Legion 7😅
I just bought one of these based on your review. I upgraded to the same Kingston 64GB RAM. I also added an additional M.2 Samsung 990 Pro 2TB SSD. Drive 1: OS and Apps. Drive 2: Projects, Video and Cache. This thing is a beast. Kick ass editing laptop. I'm on Adobe Creative Suite, Premiere, After Effects mostly. Cuts through 4K and 6K video, no problem. Got it from B&H Photo for $2099. Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful. BTW I'm cheap too. Hehehe
Lol
@@nVuFilms Hey I just watched your short film. Nicely done man! Great message. Us cheap bastards gotta stick together 🙂
when u installed the 64 gb ram what was the speed that got 5600 or 6000 ??
@@mahmoudhaitham4230 5600 and windows identified it correctly as Kingston 64 GB but had the speed listed at 5200
I was scared to get mine from bh becuass they offer no return warranty for their laptops. I got a dead one in the mail through ups, luckily Costco refund me same day. Is 64gb worth it?
That is a beast
💯
that conclusion! 🤣Loved it! And I'm Into both PC and MACs! But you nailed certain cliché comments with such humour! Thanks for the laught!
Like me, only Windows no Mac. Thanks for your video.
Most straightforward video ever🫡. Much appreciated
🤙🤙
Perfect review. Came accross it because im a full time editor. And wanted to know if this can fit 64gh ram. Gonna definitely get it now
Got it by the eay. Ended up selling my PC and just using this everyday. Still not even upgraded the RAM. Crazy machine
@TomCushnie 🤙
Dude, thank you so much for your candor; I really appreciate it. I ordered a this exact model recently and have been trying to make sure I did the right thing while I still have the opportunity to cancel haha. You've convinced me.
👍👍👍
Was debating on getting this or a M2 MacBook, I got this because Mac is too restrictive and I would like to run duel boot Linux and windows (I am a computer/robotics software engineer)
I really had to be the 420th like…. 😅 well it is, what it is. Point here, is that I appreciate your legitimate insight and full use case scenario discussion. You’re the reason I bought this immediately for 1929$USD , keep up the good work! (16gb in my sku but took to the 64gb kit however I could only find that it operated at 4800mhz so I just purchased the crucial kit at 160$USD ) THANKS AGAIN GOOD SIR! Wish me luck!💪🤓 kkkkkkkkk BRO, THAT ENDING WAS ABSOLUTELY STELLAR! My day will be beyond phenomenal now😂🤣😂🤣
I always use a desktop for work. Better performance, cheaper, more options, upgradable...
For on the go I have the Asus Pro Duo, the extra screen is really helpful and I put the timeline on it.
how about something like legion 7 or macbook pro with an mobile external monitor? I find the Asus Duo a bit bulky and difficult for typing
@@batmanonholiday4477 Like I said, I use my desktop for 99% of work. Asus is very sleek and cool to use when I need it to offload memory cards or edit something quickly on the go. I wouldn't be bringing another monitor with me outside.
that duo is a very bad laptop. you literally could have not chosen worse. Should have gotten a base 14 m2pro

is this support double side m.2 ssd?
UPDATE: Good news fellas! If you saw my comments below, you know had some issues with upgrading my Legion 7i Pro. Turns out Kingston sent me a defective set of DDR5 RAM. Got a replacement 64GB set and installed it today. Getting 5200 MHz speed. YAY! Everything is now working perfectly. Yeah baby, this thing shreds 4K video. Runs After Effects smoothly. All is good now.
Three words
I Like This Guy
Sorry, 4 Words
Great video, informative. I have a few questions though. For 4k 10 bit editing, do I really NEED to upgrade the stock 32gb ram? Do I NEED 64gb for 10bit, or is 32gb enough? I don't typically open extra programs (maybe just chrome and folders) other than my one editing software when editing.
You can probably make due with 32
@@nVuFilms Thanks!

Hello, can you look bios its this support raid 0?
Born twin with pc.
Mine came with 16gb.. do I need to upgrade anything to make an upgarde work?
can you please advise me which would you pick, legion i7, razer blazer or aorus x17? I do a lot of 3d renderings . Thanks!
Legion
New laptop these days are so fast and efficient. My old laptop makes a really good efficient heater in the winter. Saves electricity 😂
Lol
sold my desktop for a legion 7 (2021). The only thing I miss is the bigger screen, everything else is just perfect. Never had any throttling issues with the legion 7 as well.
🤙
Excellent Review. I am struggling to decide on the rtx 480or 490. I don't game only video edit as well as photo edit. I called LEnovo and they said for sure it is only 32gb for ram max. How can this be? Why would they say that? The 480 rtx version is on sale for just 24 hours and it's so cheap. The 490 version is 600 dollars more. Please advise.
Not out the womb with a pc!😭 But you're right, who is doing serious work on a plane. I need a private place too.
Nice video. I bought the same laptop but from B&H. I also purchased the same ram kit as you but it does not run at the full 5600Mhz CL40 speed. It runs at a slower 4800Mhz but with faster 36-35-35-68 timings. 3DMark CPU test shows that it runs 5% slower than the stock memory. So if you need 64GB, not a bad trade off, but if you don't need it and just wanted faster memory for every ounce of performance, it's not worth it.
I ran 3d mark tinespy and it was about even
The overall benchmark
@@nVuFilms I think you're right. Must have been an odd run. I just swapped the ram again and tried Passmark PC Benchmark and the results were even. So even with the slower speed (4800Mhz vs 5600Mhz), the faster timings do even it out. Hopefully Lenovo will release a bios update sometime to support both the faster ram speed for 64GB.
@@ThangsanityDo you know if any bios update has increased the 64gb speed now?
@@E7visualsit did. Now 5200
Dude, thank you for making this video! I just ordered the 4070 Legion 7i 2023 and on their website, it says max supported memory is 32gb. I ordered a 64gb crucial kit to try it out. I wonder if mobos on the 4070 vs 4080 are different. Fingers crossed it works!
should have gone with the 4080, 4070 is not that good if you compare last gen versions
@@WeallAreAdults Yes, what I've heard the 4070 in laptops isn't great. But I didn't wanna pay another $600 for the 4080 and also more power draw since I work off solar sometimes. In a few years, the 4080 will be outclassed and I'll buy the midrange equivalent of what's available in laptops then.
@@Scorge120 depends on what you want to use the laptop for though, since it still runs pretty much any game above 80 fps xD
@@WeallAreAdults just for video editing
is your Crucial RAM running on 5200 Mhz or 4800 Mhz ?
How could you installed a 64GB ram module if the CPU and MoBo only takes up to 32 GB Ram??
It's said in the link you provided.
Bios Update?
can you tell me, please? I loved the computer but 32gigs of ram is troublesome with some CAD software :/
The 64gb ram maxes out 4800 speed. Can't do 5600spees
Hey Vu, thanks for the video man. I went for the same device, but my RAM stays at 16GB. You reckon I can edit 4K 30fps 10bit videos? About to commission my videographer to make the shoot and deciding on the specs.
U can edit. U can upgrade that ram tho
Any thoughts on the 96GB Kit (2x48GB) DDR5-5600 ram offered by Crucial? I'm thinking this should work with the i9 13900HX cpu.
It's not gonna run 5600
Have you tried install 96gb? Does it work properly?

Thanks.
Since no fingerprint to log on does it have windows hello camera to log on. Appreciate it

@@nVuFilms weak. The Gen 8 was a huge downgrade
@@GUY-on-Earth how so? lol. If you enjoy weaker CPU and GPU for more expensive cost for more RGB lights then sure... It's a downgrade.
@@nVuFilms thanks
@@nVuFilms Gen 8 no longer has the following: glass trackpad, fingerprint reader, keyboard deck is now plastic, has less USB-C ports than gen 7 does, ethernet port is downgraded and is flipped upside down now lol, no longer has rear port lighting (not RGB, but lit up ports so you can plug stuff a bit easier), less RGB on the lid and vents (not really a big deal imo), and I forgot what else. If you've never seen the gen 7 before, you could easily mistake that gen as the newer model. Don't get me wrong, gen 8 is amazing, but gen 7 was amazing pro max ultra.
Did your laptop come with backlight bleed on the edges?
Don't notice it
Waiting delivery on the exact same laptop. As advertised they say the ssd is max 1tb stick.. And I wanted to get a 2tb stick in addition to the 1tb... And yours works?
You put the 2tb stick on the open slot.
I'm assuming you bought 2 32gb ram cards? The link you have only list 32 gb max... Unless I am missing something.
It comes with 2 32gb cards.
That kit is 2 cards
I just got my Legion 7i Pro today. Did the RAM upgrade and installed a second SSD (Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB). Everything is working fine, but one strange issue. I ran the Lenovo Vantage hardware scan and it detected the and identified the new SSD and RAM. However, the physical memory test failed. This is very weird because everything seems fine. The laptop is stable. You guys have any problems with this? Is there some sort of memory training procedure? I'm wondering if I should start a ticket with Lenovo to see what they say.
I had no issues as you described
@@nVuFilms Well I used the Windows 11 Memory Diagnostics Tool and it reports no errors. Laptop is running perfectly. I can only assume this is a problem with the Lenovo Vantage app itself. I can't find anyone that actually ever did a hardware scan with Vantage. I guess people don't use it. Bizarre...
Hello specialist :) , can you tell me if it's normal that Resolve cant play smoothly two 4k shots ( 5 minutes each ) with simple colorcorrection and grain superposing each other (on two timelines ) ? My laptop is legion pro 7i 32go ram i9 13900hx rtx 4080. Windows 11.
BUT the rushes are on a samsung t5 plugged via usbc. Is it the reason? Not speed enough?
My version is resolve studio 18.4
Shots are blackmagic pocket cinema camera in 5.7k braw downscaled on the timeline to 4k dci.
I added simple color correction and filmconvert. Please let me know if you think i should check anything. Besides upgrading ram.
Cheers!!! And keep it up with your work
Thanks
I've never worked with black magic before so don't know how intense the files are. But obviously make sure you are on high performance mode. Turn timeline resolution to half. Turn the timeline Cache to smart.
Film convert is heavy. I had a 12 minute project that would never export after adding film convert. I think it's the vram. I was using 8gb. So 12gb may not be enough for that and noise reduction. Like vu said, try using a HD time line. Also try moving to files to an internal nvme
How it perform with HEVC H.265 format with direct editing?
Good
I have 64 GB DDR4 in my work laptop for programming but I have 128 GB in my personal desktop. DaVinci Resolve can use up to 90 gigs when editing a 4k timeline.
Wow
@@nVuFilms: don't ask me how that kind of memory usage is possible! I just have a screenshot of it. I was merely color grading some 10-bit footage with a simple green screen replacement.
The more you have, the more your software will consume...
UwU
Hell Vu,
I am also thinking about buying this unit and upgrading RAM to 64 GB. But I have been hearing that aftermarket RAM stcks are limited to 4800 Mhz even if we install 5600 DDR5 sticks. Can you please confirm this?
When you check the RAM config in the Task Manager, what speed does it show?
If you install a ram like I did, which requires you to go into bios you are stuck at 4800mhz however with a faster cas latency. I'm waiting for crucial to release their 5200mhz 64gb ram JEDEC spec to see if it works. It should. But my machine at 4800mhz cas latency 36 fast AF
The new bios update will get you 5200 instead of 4800!
I heard that the keyboard pad is made of plastic if so is it still high quality with no issues?
Fantastic
@@nVuFilms thank you and I appreciate your review too
hi! if i buy the legion 7i pro with 16gb ram can i upgrade it to 64 as well?
Likely
Hi Vu, for 64gb RAM upgrading options, which DDR5 memory bin should I choose? 2x32gb 4800mhz or 2x32gb 5600mhz? Thanks for the advises ❤
It can only handle max 4800 so stick with that
@@nVuFilms Thanks for the advises ❤️
Hi✌️ You can show on real examples in what moments Gigabyte Aero cannot cope with the work, and Lenovo pulls out the task?

You said you bought that directly from lenovo, but your link for this laptop is through bnh camera. Why is that? And how can we get it for the same price as you?
Go thru ratuken and use promo code EXTRA5
so if i upgrade my rams to 64 gb DDR5 what speed im getting in the legion pro 7i rrx 4080???
If you do a bios upgrade you get 5200
I upgraded my RAM to 64GB, it now runs at 5200mhz. If you update the BIOS from lenovo vantage app in system updates your RAM will run at 5200mhz by default. Previsouly intel 13th gen core i9 was only supporting 4800mhz for RAM type 2R which is 64GB with 1R RAM type it supports 5600mhz which is 32GB. Now with the new BIOS update it supports 5200mhz by default for 64GB RAM.
How did you get it to run more than 4800? What ram brand?
@@nVuFilms Same brand as yours just update your bios (UEFI) and it will run at that speed by default.
Did you try updating the bios ?
Does upgrading RAM void any warranties with Lenovo? (I posted a seperate comment, should have looked here 1st)
@@kondaments it depends. Usually it does not. But a safer option would be to ask this question on lenovo support forums with your laptop details and country. They answer back quickly. For me it did not void the warranty.
Lol that ending with the macbook guy was hilarious.. would zou have taken asus rog 16 with mini-led or blade 18 for the same price?
No because the Lenovo has better cooling
those are overrated shit laptops..ROG is plastic junk and the other has shit thermals and is insanely overpriced bad value
So, if I got 32gb kit at 5600mhz it should still get 5600. Current Samsung ones in my 4080 i9-13900HX speed is 5600 after checking.
I think when you go to 64gb it maxes at 4800.
Max is 4800. Tried a crucial 520 ram stick and it was 4800 installed

UPDATE: The Kingston Fury Impact RAM upgrade failed on my Legion7i Pro. I have the exact same laptop and RAM. At first, all was fine. After a week, crashes started. Windows 11 BSOD (Blue Screen) daily. Memory test failures led me back to the Kingston RAM. Contacted Lenovo support. They say the RAM is technically NOT supported. Suggested replacing with the stock 32 GB RAM sticks. I did that and whalla, all is now working fine. However, I'm back to 32 GB of RAM for video editing. That is a real bummer. Contacted Kingston. They are going to exchange the RAM. They too say the RAM is technically NOT supported for the 7i Pro, but seems to work for some people. I'll try the new RAM when it arrives. I'll let you guys know what happens. Silicon lottery maybe?
Mine still works fine
@@nVuFilms I'm hoping I just got some bad RAM from Kingston. I've been asking other people who did this upgrade to share their Vantage memory test results. For some reason they are very quiet about it. Maybe they don't know how to stress test their RAM? Both Kingston and Lenovo told me that this RAM is NOT supported. However, it did work for some people. Maybe I'm just one of the unlucky ones. Hehehe. So far, I'm using Premiere and After Effects fine on 32 GB. Albeit, my current projects aren't very resource intensive. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm happy that yours is still working. My RAM exchange should arrive next week. Cheers!

Yeah, and that cost you a kidney and lung.
Your laptop can read 64 gb of ram @ 5600 mhz so user has been reported that it will lower the clock speed to 5200 for 64gb
Yes it caps at 5200. I still rather have 64gn at 5200 than 32 at 5600
@@nVuFilms Hey nVuFilms, has anyone user reported that the 64gb of ram can go for 5600 MHz now?
Agh I'm so mad, I bought the ASUS ROG Strix G16 and the Lenovo 7i. The ROG 16 destroys the 7i in Premiere performance. I did a bunch of side-by-side tests and the ROG is noticeably quicker with exports and performance in general.
The worst part is I bought these laptops to do light editing while off-grid because they both support 100W USB-C input. Well, when you use the 7i on USB C power Lenovo Vantage bottlenecks the performance so much that my Cinebench score dropped 50% lower than what the ROG was scoring.
The even worse part is the ASUS ROG 16 has an awful keyboard layout. The shorter right shift paired with no number pad makes it almost useless for editing. I have no idea what to do.
Both laptops are similarly spec'd too: i9 13900/980hx, 32gb ram, 4060/70 gpu
That's not similarly specd lol. Which is which?
@@nVuFilms ASUS 13980/4060, Lenovo 13900/4070. There's not a big jump between components, the 13980 is maybe 6-7% faster than the 13900. 4070/4060 10-13% difference.
The biggest disappointment is the poor USB C charge performance. Look it up online apparently it's a problem with Lenovo laptops. ASUS nailed it, it pulls 100W from 100W all the time, my Lenovo even on rendering was pulling 65W typically from 100W output (but would occasionally spike to 90 or 100W). It's an issue with the power mode or something. I'm hoping the 140W GAN charger improves this.
Vu what do I do lol. I love the ports on the 7i and the keyboard + numpad is excellent. If I use the ASUS I'm probably gonna wind up toting my fullsize mech keyboard just to not go insane from the weird ASUS key layout.
@@nVuFilms Look at the Cinebench scores in different power modes on the 7i: czcams.com/video/1XvizVI1sbA/video.html
Even the 5i is scoring significantly higher than the 7i in lower power modes: czcams.com/video/UkAILBRHRpY/video.html
And I'm getting the same results from my 7i (around 15,000 cinebench when on balanced power mode) vs. 22,000 on the ASUS when in a balance power mode.
Unless you plan on using your laptop 100% power with the AC brick all the time, you're going to be 50% slower than the competition once you switch to balance or low power modes or want to run off USB C. Something is wrong with the 7i Gen 8.
@@nVuFilms Went with the Legion in the end. I need the number pad. After some extensive testing the performance between the G16 and 7i wasn't as big as I thought, especially when I was using both laptops with the AC charger. It was interesting actually the Legion seems to perform better in live playback and active tasks but the G16 was much faster in passive tasks and rendering. This is for LR/PPro use. But the Legion sucks if you're not using the AC adapter. It's like, 50% slower than the ASUS off AC and/or using USB-C charging. So you'll have to be tethered to that big brick most of the time if you want decent performance.
Your 64GB ram is getting throttled down to 1800MHz 😂
4800mhz to be exact
