Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Just picked mine up and I love it !
This is the video I was looking for! I bought the Legion Slim 7 yesterday (but it will arrive in a month) and your video made me feel very pleased with the purchase. I've watched like 20+ other reviews but they are stuck on numbers instead of real performance. Thanks for the info :)
Oh heyy thanks Aleja. Your feedback really means alot and it gives me the motivation to keep going. Too bad that Lenovo's stock availability and everyone else's for that matter, has been absolutely in the doldrums. I remember that i got my device in about 6-7 days after ordering. A one month wait for a piece of tech is a bit unfair. Seems to be the norm now.
@@kazmiee Actually it's quite fast because this laptop isn't available in my country so I had to order it by Amazon in the US and find someone that is traveling to my country to bring it to me :( I'm glad my comment was helpful tho. Keep going, you have a great personality and charisma to talk about this stuff. It was very entertaining listening to you !
@Aleja Salcedo Thanks Aleja! Really greatful for your support. I hope you are still playing your guitar and singing. You have a good voice and i look forward to your next song. :)
Man your contents are so underrated.
HOLYSHIT!!!! this channel is truly underrated
Truly grateful for the comment and support iihamed. :)
Great video! ⭐️
thank yu for this compairaion that is excatly whayt i needed
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Great review. Just ordered this laptop last night. Best Buy offered it up on a special for $1,099.00.
Looking forward to giving this a try as my Mobil setup. Using a Eluktronics MP15 with the Ryzen 4800 and RTX 2060 has been and is still amazing but the specs and size of this laptop will be better! Keep up reviews like this, looking forward to seeing your channel grow!
Really appreciate the feedback bash. I hope you enjoy the legion. It is an excellent device. Share your experiences with me after your use as well. :)
Very nice review Ali, thank you so much.
i am from Indonesia, and here we just have legion slim 7i in the shop online. i hope 2022 legion slim 7 has come to our country.
Hey Haidar; I do sure hope that you find it in Indonesia. So far, this device is still working tremendously for me
@@kazmiee Alright, and i hope too in 2022 new S7 include port hdmi that for work prestation, ect.
Good review bro! Even worth seeing more than some famous names 😂
Aww thanks Nathan. I appreciate that. I just have not been able to find time to put in more in more content. Been sitting on a steam deck and want to share my thoughts on that soon.
Just ordered this yesterday, but the Ryzen 9 CPU with 3050ti GPU. I won't be gaming much, just video editing and office work. But nice to know I CAN do some gaming on the go (not AAA games probably). Really looking forward to using this machine.
Hey Tavat; great to hear about your decision to go Legion; Pretty sure that you wont be disappointed; though in terms of setting your expectations; the 3050ti happens to be quite a bit lower in performance compared to the 3060; But still, i think you should still be able to play call of duty and even other AAA titles but perhaps not on high settings if required. DO let me know when you get the machine and how your experience is with it. Enjoy!
Best buy is listing this model with an RTX 3060 MaxQ. Is this a good enough GPU as compared to RTX 3060?
A concise , comprehensive review of a laptop that is criminally underrated in social media 👍🏻! Well done mate 👌🏻👏🏻! Liked & subscribed 👍🏻!
oh hey! - Thanks Ilhas; really really appreciate it!
Thanks Ali! I bought one a few days ago and i didnt know if it came with an adapter for video. This is the first review to show that! Like and subs! :)
Hey that is awesome! - I hope you are enjoying the Legion. Thanks for subscribing Gaston! :)
I really like your presentation
Hey Thanks Zabir! Literally just starting off; find it a bit tough to manage with my work life; but greatly appreciate the vote of confidence and support; it helps me keep going. :)
How do you not have more subscribers? 83rd subscriber and proud
Aww hey. That means alot Jack! Appreciate the sub. I just dont get enough time from my job to put more videos through. Hope to bring out more for you guys! Cheers!
@@kazmiee Understandable, keep up with what your doing, it’s great stuff!
@@jackyoutube8931 Thank you Jack! ** insert gif of captain Barbosa saying "why thank you jack" from Pirates of the Caribbean
Thank you for your review. Just wanna know, Can it automatic turned off the light on the switch on (fingerprint scan) when i gonna watch movie like with Netflix or CZcams or sleep mode because some of gaming that my friend using cannot turn it off. (such as if the keyboard rgb light turn off for sleep mode or watching mover, it also turn off) 😌
Thanks
As far as i know, aaaaall the lights, except the power button ring will go off - The light of that ring is not too bright though. You can also switch the device to quiet mode, using the fn+q key which turns the power button light to a blue color, which MAY be lighter on the eyes? When in sleep mode, the keyboard lights all switch off and the power button ring light kind of fades on and off with a 1-2 sec interval
Thank you for this complete review. Do you think upgradeding the RAM up to 24gb will give a higher performance on gaming? I will only play warzone, but I don't know if it's worth the upgrade. Thanks!!
16 gigs should be plenty for Warzone. Extra ram would come in handy if you are running several programs at the same time for example having lots of chrome tabs open in the background while you start gaming. Gaming performance itself can see improvement if you provide greater clock speeds for the RAM. But with ddr4, i believe the slim7 comes with 3200 mhz and that is already towards the top end. For gaming alone. 16 gigs is just right
I got it for $1350 at best buy the other day. Amazing laptop
Thats awesome Rene! Hope you get to enjoy it lots!
Did it came with type c to hdmi adapter??? Help here please
@@lllfbg888 it actually did. Type c to vga / hdmi. It is in the video as well
@@kazmiee great, thanks so much for ur answer! Gained a follower there
@@lllfbg888 really appreciate it luca. :)
thanks man great review. the only thing i'm worried about is the inferior I/0 ports on the Slim 7 and the fan noise. i know razer have quiter fans (but they also get much hotter). deciding between the razer blade 15 advanced w 3070 for 1900 after tax or the slim 7 3060 for 1450 after tax. im not going to do much intensive gaming on it so 3060 is enough for me but i would like for a quiter fan when i use it in public
Hey Lav, great question. Happy to report that the legion usually remains pretty quiet. The Razer, in my experience, had that shallow whine-y sound while the legion even at full load had a whooshy sound. Legion has a quiet mode, which manages discreet environments pretty well. Also important to note, under load, any gaming laptop would be louder than the average device. For the casual gamer who likes to cross with productivity, i found the legion very well rounded. The only reason i would go for the Razer, will be for the QHD screen
@@kazmiee awesome, thanks for the reply man👍
Hey, great video! Very detailed on every aspect.
I'm thinking about swapping out my Macbook Pro for the Slim 7; how does the build quality of the S7 when compared to the Macbook Pro? Is it as rigid / feel as premium? Cheers
Ah! Well, the S7 is made of great materials and is pretty rigid, which helps it keep cool and dissipate heat well but it may not be able to match the premium and clean feel of the MBP. If im honest, the Razer blade is the closest thing to a sort of gaming MBP on steroids. But in my experience it requires a bit of ongoing tinkering here and there for it to really perform whereas the S7 kind of just does what you ask it to do. All in all, the S7 is an awesome entry point into the world of powerful portable gaming.
@@kazmiee I see, thanks for the swift reply. Probably gonna pull the trigger on this laptop!
I'm not sure if this is only available in my market, but I managed to select it in storm grey finish and with a UHD 165Hz panel? I noticed this wasn't said (in quite a few reviews), so I was wondering if this option is just not available in certain regions or they recently added the option?
@@rusty5935 take a look at the Legion 5 Pro!!
@@rusty5935 Did you ever end up getting the Slim 7? I just bought it a week ago at my local BestBuy on sale for $1299. The build quality is top notch! It really helps for cooling. Every morning I go to pick it up, it's always that nice cold feeling. Loving it so far! Hope you are as well.
A gaming benchmark?
This thing is pretty incredible. Rtx 3060 Consistently boosts over 100 watts for me. I use it up on a stand and the highest temps I’ve gotten are in the mid 80s for the cpu and mid to high 70s for the gpu. I was worried about thermals, coming from the very few “big” tech CZcams reviewers benchmarks. But mine were nothing like the high 90’s cpu temps they were complaining about. Even under pretty heavy load, this thing stays relatively cool for its size. Very impressive, and great review! Enjoy!
100% agreed Campbell! For me the temps barely hit 70, perhaps that is because of the air conditioned environment. I think this device gives an awesome demonstration to desktop and console users how AAA gaming is not just possible in a thin and light portable format but actually desirable without any fuss or drama. Thanks for having a look at my review. Really appreciate it!
I also got this machine, the thermal will go below 50ish while gaming when you disable performance boost :) This machine is so perfect for me, im lovin it.
@@jegzcuenco8759 the thermals are incredible. That is for sure. And if you want to get extra frames, performance mode actually makes a difference and still keeps the laptop cool. Im glad to hear you are liking this device. On another positive note, i realized that even the battery life is really good. On quite mode, active browsing and watching videos, it was predicting 8-10 hours at 90%. it is a very versatile machine.
Have you tuned any laptop settings for the 3060 to go over 100W? Or does that just happen by default when you're running on the dGPU via the Mux Switch?
@@PS-ed4wn based on my experience it depends on the game. Some games doesn't consume much gpu power.
The razer blade 15 advanced 2020 is only $1600 on Amazon right now for the RTX 2080 Super Max Q FHD 300Hz model so would that be a better deal than the legion slim 7 with Ryzen 9 5900HX and RTX 3060 Max Q which is around $1700? By the way your videos are amazing and I honestly think your channel is very underrated for such high quality reviews.
Oh Hi Dev! Thank you for your question and really appreciate the words of encouragement. :) Now to your question and it is a good one. Easy to get swept by the glamour of the Razer Blade for sure. Now the 2080 on paper is supposed to be performing in range of a 3070. BUT, with razer, it will have a limited TGP /power draw and may actually end up performing closer to the 3060. But still a bit better. That being said, the 2020 model will have an older processer, slower ram as well. The more recent AAA titles are better tuned for the rtx30 architecture. So in the long run, i do believe the legion will be a bit more practical. The 5900HX is a beast of a processor. And the best thing i like about the razer is the heat management. Which is insanely good
Nice video
Thanks Rock God!
As-Salamu'Alaykum Ali! Thanks for making my mind... I was going for blade because I like their build quality. Since I was a macbook user so I really like the build of blade which is a exact replica of macbook (I think they hired a ex-apple designer 😂) but the thermal was not good... I tested Razer Blade 2020 with RTX 2060 by editing a small video for my wife. Laptop was getting hotter and lagging while playback. Today I'm editing on my Legion 5 with GTX 1660ti. It out performed the blade 😲
I was thinking of buying Legion 7 16" 2022 with RTX for my wife. What do you suggest?
If you have the budget, the legion 7 is a premium option. It has all the bells and whistles and a properly awesome screen BUT, has no biometric login support and has a 720p camera and the battery life is not all that great either. It may feel a bit bulky too. If you're looking for something that is easier to carry, and is more tuned towards Creators, you can also check out the asus m16, z16 or even the upcoming slim 7 with the 12th gen Intel. It would also have a 16" screen with a 16-10 aspect ratio but would be limited to 1080p though.
But just to emphasize, my experience with legions is such that they have one of the best thermal management capabilities. If the device is to be used in higher than average ambient temperatures, thermal performance should be a non negotiable for you. :)
what fps do you get on warzone? I cant seem to find a video anywere.
Ill do a fresh video capture and share by tomorrow
@@kazmiee thank you . I purchased this laptop but have not received it yet. Super excited
@@TheBgtodorawesome. Is it your first gaming laptop? Also. Sorry could not come around to sharing warzone fps. I think you should be able to see in briefly within the video. I see 120 frames at highest settings.at 1080p
@@kazmiee yes it's my first. I just want the game to run smoothly. But it should be good enough. And I do have to say its a great looking laptop for a gaming laptop
@@TheBgtodor Hey Tony, did you take delivery of your Legion as yet? - Sorry i could not find the time to upload a video; But generally i can get 120 FPS on high settings and performance mode.
I had gotten one of the slim7s and it had a 512gb nvme and no usb c to hdmi adapter.
Oh damn. Sorry to hear about that. Which region are you from? It is either a geo thing or Lenovo switched their box contents (like they did for shoving massive 300W adapters with devices that barely need 200)
Liked the video. Have you looked at the legion 5 pro? I am going back and forth on the two.
I would go for the 5 pro for a higher res screen, the 16 to 10 aspect, upgradable ram, the rtx 3070. It is definitely "technically" more competent. But i dont like the gameresque looks, the slight plasticky feel, the thickness of it. If you're going for the rtx 3060 anyway, a high res screen wont make a difference anyway, id get the 32gig model and settle for the slim. I feel it is an overall better package for the mid tier casual gamer and professional. An extremely well rounded overall device
@@kazmiee that's great thanks. We are back to the old ways in Canada where we get jammed on pricing and not being to be able to see the device before buying haha.
@@BBSlats haha, yeah, times like these, we would be lucky to find even good things in stock.what is going to be your primary use for the device?
@@kazmiee 4k video editing and 3d print design. Not for work just hobby.
@@BBSlats well for 4k, i feel you shouldn't get anything under a 3070 or 6800
Is the gpu max q?
So Nvida no longer carries the max Q brand. Instead, the TGP or power wattage being fed to the GPU is now a key measure of how well a certain gpu will perform. The legion slim 7 i believe has a 100w TGP; for comparison, that is slightly better than the TGP of a 3060 installed on a Razer blade. Another comparison: the Legion 7, the most premium offering by Lenovo, carries a TGP of upto 170w for its 3080 Variant. All new laptops usually are able to share power between CPU AND GPU depending on the workload (with individual max thresholds). It seems, the more capable a thermal system in a laptop, the more TGP can be expected as well.
@@kazmiee ah I see.
On bestbuy, one version of the slim 7 says it has a 3060 max q and another one justs says it has a 3060. Do you think both of those have a tgp of 100?
@@lonevoyager6026 I believe that terminology is there only to add familiarity. Otherwise, should be the same
lenovo is my god no cap, rip asucks and rip razerk lol
wow
Reviews?
Reviews.
Razer blade has been killed years ago
Slain by itself or some other contender?safe to assume, probably by itself.
@@kazmiee other contenders and also itself. For exampme their prices are too exoensive, you could be paying a 3060 for the price of a 3080, also the wattage is low.
U read it from text?😂
