I just recently changed from macbook to legion 7i (black). I’m an IT guy and coding is one of my job. Finally, I can play steam games again… 😅
Is the arrows placement an issue when typing?
@@Aveirah nope
Can you trust the processor due to current issues with it?
Love the level of editing and engagement on your videos
gaming is the getaway from continous error messages we get slapped on our faces T_T
randomly found out this channel at midnight and really love your setup, keep uploading😄
same lmaooo
Thanks for this video! I've watched all the big tech channels and reviewers on this laptop and in my opinion the camera angles and lighting you show are so much better. I love how you showcase it in everyday use I was able to get a real feel for the size. I finally decided to buy it to replace a 2019 MacBook 16 after watching your video. Your monitor setup while coding is awesome 🤤
Gaming in school, that's illegal 😂😂
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
Hello, good video, the truth is I'm also a student and seeing what your day to day life was like motivated me more to fight for my dream, I hadn't had the opportunity to meet you but I'm glad I did, congratulations on your new laptop, new subscriber ☺
hey fellow student! glad to meet you too and dont give up on your dreams~
Loved the setup and the cinematography
Good video Ela! ❤, thinking about buying that laptop, it convinced me 😮
thanks and nice!! getting a new piece of tech is always exciting
@@elacodeshow the battery life while programming while not plugged in? thanks.
a video on your workflow would be cool. I liked the excel sheet for your test cases and the priority / completed toward the end!
thanks for the feedback :)
Omg this vlog was so good it made my day!!! 😭❤️
Glad you liked it!!
i absolutely loved this video; you just gained another subscriber!
Sitting and relax to watching the video really enjoyable
Got a Legion 5 last year and it's been holding up well for me & does basically everything I need it to do between design work, gaming etc. Only thing that's a slight downer is that it has a massive power brick(even bigger than the one you got here) so carrying around the device + charger can be annoying at times.
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.
Wow from watching this , I just quickly subbed❤ I'm inspired 💯
I got the Legion 7i a month ago and it is a beast with it's specs and also considering the size of the laptop. I love it so much 😭💯💯
yay glad you enjoyed it as much as i do!!
Thinking of getting the same laptop too. Thanks for showcasing it hahaha
just found your channel love it, cant wait to watch the next video
I have the same laptop but 4080 and 330W battery. When we entered summer season, I started to get fps drops so bad because of the environment temps. Do you get any frame drops while you playing? Nice vid btw
Damn you there with i7. Woah, you setup is pretty vast?
Hope to reach out to you with stuffs related to code helps. I am a gamer guy too.😎😎
Glad to see you enjoying it, im planning on getti g this laptop as well.
Got one recently.
Funny enough, I've replaced the 230w brick with a more portable C170W from Lenovo which still can boost legion laptop 100% power. God I love that charger so much. Thank you lenovo
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
Very nice, how is it working for you so far? I just bought mine a few days ago and really like it! 🙂
hope legion in future support type c charging instead of bulky charger
Dope vid!
Hey Ela great vid! Just wondering what was the laptop case you are using? And do you recommend it?
This is like exactly what I do except I also play chess and guitar. Amazing video, currently on vacation and I miss this
Hii i hope your doing well i really enjoyed your video .
I hope you keep uploading:)
Was planning on getting the Legion 7i but after seeing you getting 120fps on Val of all games, I'm getting second thoughts ;-;
its so chill, great videos love it, but i wonder what tha typing sound effect you had here i mean the switches name? thanks sorry if it confuse anyone who read it :)
danggg that laptop is so nice😭
Can you please tell me the name of the bag case(grey one) you used for the laptop?
Just got my laptop today((:
It runs a bit warm by the on button. Is that normal with your laptop as well.?? Did you change the settings to cool it down.?
I have the gen 68 version I absolutely love it
Heyo, love the video... Beautiful editing, damn!
I'm in the process of buying this, and being a student within software engineering and machine learning/deep learning, I have a couple of questions that you can hopefully answer 😀🤙
1. Is it an i7 or i9? You had me confused with the laptop sticker
2. How do you experience noise and heat (both component and keyboard surface) during normal usage (non-gaming) like lectures, note taking, normal development work and so forth
Keep up the work 😎
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 vlog, cozy background music, enjoyed it,😊
I have a few questions....
i) how is your project related to hayden planetarium,(i lave astronomy and this one of my favourite place. :)
ii)which university you study at.
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.
Just got mine yesterday with i7 instead.
We're you having any wifi troubles? Cause mine for some reason gets lower when I am not close to the router.
love the video, good introduction without yapping too much
great video. carry on
I’m planning on buying this laptop too. How long does the battery last when using VS Code or IntelliJ? Thanks!
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?
wallpaper source??
Catto business.was cute 😹
you connect the pc to the battery/power bank? That's not bad for the laptop? someone explain to me why i have one
"Dell inspiration 15" which I bought in february
From theOverwatch and the office enjoyer like :)
I probably re-watched the office a million times
So nice laptop, this color is so cooool.
Why a student shall carry a legion i7. I’m a 12 year experience in development and use a legion 5 for my work and gaming . Now give it to me ❤😊
Tell me about the battery life of this thing and the fan noide please
Can you share me the details of your table. Please!
i got the 5i recently like month and a half ago its so far good i switched it on yesterday its pretty good i did a 3 hours of gaming it worked smoothly to decent i guess i'll push it harder tmr so if there are any troubles with the laptop my warranty can cover it anyway great laptop
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 😊
Hey Ela! Love the video ❤ i have the exact same laptop but couldn’t charge mine with the usb port using my phone charger (I know it’s not enough power for the laptop) but my answer is how can I found a cable that is enough for this big boy?😢
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.
hey, I am looking to buy a Laptop for my MS AI course in Universiy which is going to be ML, DL intensive. I was gonna choose Legion 5 slim and the real reason to not go with legion 7i is not so portable friendly and power hungry that is wht I read from review. Now after watching your video I wanna know can you still use the laptop for coursework without having to charge everywhere go around, I am never going to game and it is never my hobby.
Hey👋
Does the laptop overheat, and how is its battery life
which backpack do you use i have hard time to buy a laptop back for this laptop. can you mention the sleeve as well...
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
Does the SD card slot support UHS-II? Alternatives that have UHS II are ProArt Studiobook 16, Razer Blade series and obviously, the MacBooks. The spec sheet doesnt show anything about it, only says 4-in1 SD card reader. ik its a gaming laptop, but I am someone who is potentially looking for that kinda laptop which can do it and dont want to pay the Razer Blade money. ig im a bit delusional.
where do u get that laptop 'wallet', something like a bag for laptop stuff?
Nice laptop, I am deciding between this one and the G16 but I do really like this white colour and it seems a bit cheaper where I am than the G16
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
How’s the battery life on this model as I am planning to get one for uni. Nice video btw:)
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).
What laptop sleeve do you use? I have the same laptop.
How ia the battery backup? How many hours do you get from it
I have too much back pain from carrying a 2.3kg laptop and a 1.5kg adapter🥲.
Unnecessary fan noise , gpu wake up unnecessarily with even small application (scree short app)
1 hour battery backup
Returned my - 7i pro
im literally going to cry
here, take some tissue
Which laptop stand did you use??
hey what's your clock thats in your videos? the one @ 1:36? Anyway nice vlogs
it's divoom ditoo - amzn.to/3S9ao9y
@@elacodes tysm for going as far as to giving the link!!
What's the battery life like?
Nice Video
What tools that use to edit this video with background of keyboard reely nice
What’s the planing app called? Great video 😉
it's Notion :)
Work hard, play harder 😂
Great video
The specs that was shown in the video was "i9 14th Gen" but the sticker on the laptop says "Core i7"
Blame that on their packaging team, not me. i9 is correct. HAHA
when u playing valorant, the charger plugged in or not??... if not that's laptop was incredible
In the video, when I played valorant, I think I played 2-3 deathmatch games & yes it was unplugged
@@elacodes wooowww 🤯🤯...
Hi ElaCodesi want ask a question. There is two screen options for this model. I am also a junior web developer and designer so most important things is color accuracy and i will be prefer 3k resolutions i guess. Whats your opinion about screen?
Im not sure about color accuracy, I can only compare it to my other monitors. At full brightness, it definitely looks more vivid
Hey just wondering, where do you keep all your study books and stuff?
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
Given the rapid development of AI at this time, is your coding job a viable career path for someone from a different field to pursue through education and training?
Yes! Seems to me like you have seen a lot of content such as “AI will replace developer jobs”. It’s not completely true.
Hey which year are you in?
How's the heating on this while gaming?
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😊
What website(s) do you use to get wallpapers? I need to have that wallpaper 🫣
I literally just google 4k wallpapers and start searching from there hahaha
@@elacodes Wallpaper engine?
we have same routine
You mentioned there is an alternative way to charge it without using the brick, what is it?
02:53
@@elacodes ah missed that, thanks!
i am interested in this laptop but how is the battery life? ive only heard bad things about it
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
9:47 What camera are you using?
iphone 14 pro max
does it have good performance for use in software development?
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
why windows over mac for programming? just asking
it was a requirement for our course mostly
Very rarely that girl will choose Gaming laptop instead of Macbook lol (no drama btw) can I ask the reason why? because I have a problem with battery that can last only like 2-3 hours without charging and the weight that heavy af W content
To answer your question, I game, I code, I edit :)
Good video
Which software can work easily on this?
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..
Is it just me and you, or does everyone install VALORANT first....??
just yall, ded game
Probably you and her
does it make a lot of noise when playing games?
that depends... what kind of noise are you thinking? LOL
@@elacodes like fan noise? are they loud?
PLS UPLORD MORE PRODUCTIVITY VLOGS
I WILL TRY
What kind of monitor Mount you are using??
I think I got it from amazon many years ago
I love this video , not much than your nails color :3
haha thanks :D
Was that task dashboad obsidian?
it was notion :)
what do you do for a living ?
I'm currently a student and use content creation as a freelancing source of income
hows the battery life i see 5-6 hours which is a bust imo
We could agree to disagree
@@elacodes i say that cus in my case i need one for college
your video has been showing on my homepage way too many times, it's like the video has gun pointed over my head and I just gave up now and watch it 😔
girl, your hair is gorg
Nice car
What's the name of the website you downloaded the game from?
overwatch - battle net
valorant - riot games
@@elacodes Thanks so much!
rich life
i need a gaming laptop
