If you're shopping on a smaller budget and find the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) too expensive, consider the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). It's a well-built 15.6-inch laptop with many configuration options. You can choose between an AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 CPU and various NVIDIA dedicated GPUs, up to an RTX 3070. It's available with 8, 16, or 32GB of memory; however, we highly recommend getting at least 16GB as 8GB isn't enough for some games and will cause stutters. The memory is user-replaceable, meaning you can upgrade it yourself later.

In terms of the display options, it's best to go with the 1080p or 1440p 165Hz panel for the best visual experience. If you choose to get the 1440p display, you'll have to pair it with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 GPU to get the most out of it. Otherwise, any GPU will do if you plan on only gaming at 1080p. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is more than powerful enough for gaming, but it might be worth upgrading to the Ryzen 7 5800H if you plan on keeping the laptop for a long time.

If you plan on gaming on the go, this laptop isn't overly bulky, but it's heavy. Thankfully, the power adapter is relatively compact, and you'll need it as the battery lasts only a little more than 1 hour when gaming. Nonetheless, this is a good option to consider if you're shopping on a limited budget.

Check out the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021) for gaming. It's a 15.6 inch laptop with tons of configuration options, feels well built, has a comfortable keyboard, and includes tons of ports, like an HDMI 2.1. Its understated design wouldn't look out of place in a professional working environment, although it's a little bulky and heavy, so it isn't the most portable. Unlike most budget-oriented gaming laptops, it has a MUX switch that allows the discrete GPU to send information directly to the display for better performance.

Display-wise, we highly recommend getting the 1080p or 1440p 165Hz panel for the best visual experience. You'll have to pair the 1440p panel with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 to get the most out of it. If you're okay with 1080p gaming, any GPU option will do, though the GTX 1650 will only get you around 60 fps in most titles with low settings. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is more than powerful enough for gaming, but it might be worth upgrading to the Ryzen 7 5800H if you plan on keeping the laptop for a while.

As for the memory, most people should opt for at least 16GB, as 8GB isn't enough for some games. The memory and storage are user-upgradeable, so you can get an 8GB model and upgrade it yourself later on, which might end up costing less. Unfortunately, gaming is a demanding task that drains the battery quickly, so you'll have to play plugged in most of the time. All in all, this is a great gaming laptop for under $1,200.

We recommend the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021) for those on a tight budget. It's an affordable model with multiple GPU options, from an entry-level NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to a powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. You can choose between an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, both of which are powerful enough to provide smooth gameplay. It has a sturdy build, a spacious keyboard with backlit keys, and a wide port selection that includes six USB ports and an HDMI 2.1 port. It's bulky, though, so it isn't very portable.

For the display, we recommend getting the 165Hz 1080p or 1440p panel for the best visual experience; make sure you pair the 1440p panel with an RTX 3070 to get the most out of it. Any GPU will do for 1080p gaming, although the GTX 1650 can only reach 60 fps at low settings and might not reach reasonable frame rates in the newest AAA titles. The memory and storage are user-replaceable, so you can get a cheaper configuration first and upgrade it yourself later on. That way, you can put the bulk of your budget towards the best CPU, GPU, and display configuration you can get, as they aren't replaceable.

Our budget pick is the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). It's an affordable model that you can configure with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, and you have tons of GPU options, from an entry-level NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to a powerful RTX 3070 with ray-tracing and DLSS support. We recommend getting the 165Hz 1080p or 1440p panel for the best visual experience, as they have the fastest response time and support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing. If you choose to go 1440p, it's best to pair it with an RTX 3070 GPU to get the most out of it.

The memory and storage are user-upgradeable, so if you're short on cash, you can get a cheaper configuration and upgrade it later. It has a sturdy build, a great keyboard, and many ports, including six USBs, an HDMI, and an Ethernet port. It's bulky, so it isn't very portable, and sadly, you'll need to bring the charger because the battery lasts about an hour when gaming.

For gaming, our best budget pick is the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). This 15.6-inch laptop has many configuration options, a sturdy build, and a wide port selection, including an HDMI 2.1 port. It can double as your work laptop as its understated design wouldn't look out of place in a professional working environment, although it's a little bulky and heavy, so it isn't the most portable. You'll also have to carry the charger with you because the battery lasts only around four hours of light use.

Configuration-wise, we recommend getting the 1080p or 1440p 165Hz panel for the best visual experience. You'll have to pair the 1440p panel with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 to get the most out of it. Otherwise, any GPU will do if you're only gaming at 1080p, though the GTX 1650 will only get you around 60 fps in most titles with low settings. You can choose between an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H, both of which are powerful enough to provide smooth gameplay. The memory and storage are user-upgradeable, so you can get an 8GB model to start and upgrade it yourself later on, which might end up costing less.

The best budget laptop for video editing is the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). You can configure this gaming laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, and you get multiple GPU options, from an entry-level NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to a powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. It's on the bulkier side, so it isn't the most portable, but it feels well-built, and its understated design won't stick out in a professional work environment. The keyboard feels spacious and comfortable, and there are plenty of ports for your peripherals and external displays.

The memory and storage are user-replaceable, so you can get a cheaper configuration to start and upgrade it yourself later on. The main downside is that it's only available with sRGB displays, so you'll need an external monitor if you work in a wider color space. It also doesn't have any biometrics for quick logins, and its battery life is very short, around four hours of light use and one hour of intensive workload.

For gaming, get the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 6 15 (2021). This laptop is usually a little over $1,000, but it's on sale (likely for a short period around Black Friday), so for under $1,000, you can get this AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti configuration. It also has 16GB of memory, 512GB of storage, and a 1080p 165Hz display with FreeSync support. The memory and storage are user-replaceable, meaning you can add more later on. You get a comfortable keyboard that you can game on for an extended period and plenty of ports, including an Ethernet port for a fast and reliable internet connection. The Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 3050 Ti GPU provide a smooth gaming experience at 1080p, though you'll have to endure loud fan noise. Unfortunately, it isn't very portable as it's bulky and heavy, and the battery lasts only a little over an hour when gaming.

The 7 Best Laptops - Spring 2022

I, however, own a 7i for a few weeks now and the device is working perfectly. Thermals are perfect, 240Hz 500 nits screen, and the build feels more premium than the Legion 5 and Y740 I was considering. I did not face any issues so far.

I have had my Y740 for a while and it suffered damages due to mishandling on a technical service done by Lenovo.

Lenovo is now offering me a new model to replace my Y740 but it lacks a few things: GSync, HDR screen and Windows Pro. However the one I am getting has a new chipset, latest generation i7 and 32 GB of RAM instead of 16 GB.

Here is the full specification of both machines.

Y740:  [Legion,Lenovo Legion Y740-15IRHg,Model:81UH0089LM](https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Legion/Lenovo_Legion_Y74015IRHg?M=81UH0089LM) 

Legion 7:  [Legion,Lenovo Legion 7 15IMH05,Model:81YT005ULM](https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Legion/Lenovo_Legion_7_15IMH05?M=81YT005ULM)   


I am about to fill the form to accept the deal but I just want to know from some of you what would you do in my case?

Lenovo is going to replace my Y740, should I accept this offer?

Battery life is quite good - when the iGPU is active. If the latter is disabled, the rates are cut in half. The backlit keyboard proved to be suitable for everyday use. Finally, the three-year on-site warranty provided by Lenovo is praiseworthy

The Lenovo Legion 7 16ACHg6 (82N60099GE), provided by Lenovo Germany.The Legion 7 does what it's supposed to do: It brings all modern games smoothly onto the screen. In the process, it leaves most of the RTX 3080 laptops tested so far behind and delivers above-average frame rates. The full display resolution (2560x1600 pixels) can usually be exploited - at high to maximum quality settings

 The Ryzen 9 5900HX APU and the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU (max TGP: 165 watts) can always develop their performance consistently. The 16-inch device's heat and noise development are at a normal level for the hardware installed here. In other words, the laptop heats up noticeably under load and produces a fair amount of noise. In addition, the fans emit a whistling noise at higher rotation speeds

Verdict- The Legion 7 positions itself in the top section of the rankings

I realize you can't see into the future any more than I can, but I have little clue about these shortages apart from hearing they exist, and I also have little clue on general Thinkpad pricing trends. Do you think I will be able to get a Gen 6 for €1200 or less if I wait around a year, or do you think there's some decent likelihood that, in fact, prices for any of these laptops will become *much higher* in the course of the next year?

Buy X1 Yoga Gen 5 now, or wait until Gen 6 is affordable? (shortages etc)

My last notebook was a 16” MacBook Pro (which only pulls 100 watts max), so I was quite shocked by how much the Legion 7i weighs. The laptop itself isn't exactly light but the 300 watt power supply is a real beast. So yeah, it's heavy, but that's to be expected with a machine of this power and it's not at all a dealbreaker.

I purchased the i7/32GB/1TB/3080 model and I'm very happy with it. The i7 is quite fast as is but can be undervolted and overclocked to achieve better than i9 performance. The GPU is a real monster and is fantastic for 3D rendering since it has 16GB VRAM. In the Blender benchmarks I've run, only the desktop 3080ti and 3090 cards consistently beat it for OptiX rendering

 The GPU is a real monster and is fantastic for 3D rendering since it has 16GB VRAM. In the Blender benchmarks I've run, only the desktop 3080ti and 3090 cards consistently beat it for OptiX rendering. That's very impressive. 

Very fast and excellent guild quality

 In the process, it leaves most of the RTX 3080 laptops tested so far behind and delivers above-average frame rates. The full display resolution (2560x1600 pixels) can usually be exploited - at high to maximum quality settings.

 Everything else is good but I expect to get what was advertised. I paid 2500.00 and I am just not okay with this. Make sure you’re getting what is described

 I’m giving this 3 stars only because the laptop is awesome now that I fixed the hardware issues

There’s a fix for Nvidia video card not detected

It was really heavy including the charger into my backpack was crazy amount of weight. I’m talking over 7.5 pounds. Ended up with an m16 zephyrus

Hi everyone! So I'm in a bit of a situation where I'm ultimately deciding between 2 laptops. I'm going to be using this laptop for gaming as well as video editing and photo editing (as well as whatever random hobby I just pick up lol), I've set my budget to be $2500. Of course less expensive is better, but if it's really worth it then I'm not opposed to reaching that cap. 

The first option is

- Lenovo Legion 7i gen 7 - 3070 ti, I7 12800hx, 32gb gddr5 ram, 2 TB ssd ~ $2100 (with coupons and rakuten)

I know realistically this is the safest and best option. I know this sub has a track record for loving the Legion models. For less money I could get this and have more storage off bat as well as the slew of quality of life features that come with the legion 7 series.

- HP Omen 17 (2022 model) - 3080 ti, I7 12800hx, 32gb gddr5 ram, 1tb ssd ~ $2440 (with student discount)

Lastly there's this one. It's so hard to find anything of use on the newer Omen laptops, especially the 17 inch ones and ones with a 3080 ti. I understand that price to performance on the 3080ti isn't nearly as good as the 3070ti but for the price of a 3080ti laptop this is by far the best bang for buck I've seen for the chip. Not only that but I'm hopeful that the cooling solution would be better than the other 2 simply due to it's size. What worries me most is the lack of Omen reviews and thermal benchmarks on this model. 

Do you guys think it's worth sacrificing the build quality and features that come with the Legion to spend a little over $300 more to get the Omen? The other thing is that there isn't too much info with these models and how well the cooling solutions perform. My brain wants to say that the Omen will be better at adequately cooling the system with lower noise levels due to it being a bigger chassis, but I really don't know how well the current omens handle their heat. I also don't know how the 7th gen of the 7i  handles heat, but to be fair I don't know if many do.

While I would love to wait and see Jarrod's Tech full review on the 7i, I'm going to have to order relatively soon because my abroad program will be starting soon.

If you guys have any experience with these models or at least with ones with similar specs I would love to hear your guy's experience and input on this and thank you! (Also sorry for writing a novel)

Need help deciding between 2 laptops

 The L5P’s are priced very nicely and can even find them with huge discounts making it the no brainer choice obviously. But nothing can really beat the g15’s performance to size, maybe razers laptops can beat it but comparing Intel to amd when it comes to gaming is a little bias.

If the Zephyrus m16 came in a 3070 I’m all countries I honestly think the legion wouldn’t compete as well. But the counter argument would be it’s price. The L5P’s are priced very nicely and can even find them with huge discounts making it the no brainer choice obviously. But nothing can really beat the g15’s performance to size, maybe razers laptops can beat it but comparing Intel to amd when it comes to gaming is a little bias

So my new video has made a lot of Lenovo fans mad.. To be fair, I am a little harsh on the Legion 5 Pro. On its own, it’s a great laptop. But in comparison to the G15 (depending on the price you find either for), those premium features Asus offers are just so nice to have. Speakers, touchpad, keyboard, battery life, fan curves, better Silent Mode, etc.

I’ve also tested games side by side on both machines and concluded (in my opinion) that the additional 40 watts in the L5P doesn’t seem to produce a linear increase in performance. The MUX switch does more for it than anything else, but when testing both in or out of hybrid mode against the other, they perform pretty equally! This just shows how important a mux switch can be over wattage. Asus, if you’re listening, please put MUX switches (or advanced optimus) in your laptops cause the G15 is absolutely amazing otherwise.

Here are my gaming benchmarks below. Obviously the big disadvantage here in the G15 is that you have to hook up to an external monitor to do the same thing that the L5P’s MUX switch does. But either way, dGPU mode is dGPU mode, so this is essentially comparing these two GPUs for what they're capable of. Also many L5P's have slower RAM timing, but mine did not so these machines both have the same RAM timings. Last thing, keep in mind that fps is barely different (sometimes worse and/or just very hard to configure correctly) with the L5P in 1440p so both are tested in their native resolution.

This one was odd but I'm throwing it in just because I thought it was weird how in 1080p on this game the G15 pulled ahead

My conclusion from testing? I don't believe there is a linear correlation between performance and GPU wattage. I think we're dealing with the law of diminishing returns here. I'd guess that 100-120 watts in the mobile RTX 3070 might be the sweet spot. These are just my thoughts though so please analyze this data and form your own conclusions. Getting defensive and angry isn't a good look on anyone.

Asus Zephyrus G15 vs Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (Benchmarks)

 Gpu options for M16 are 3050Ti/3060/3070 due to the intel core i9 11th gen i9 11900H being a hotter more powerful chip. Subreddit: r/ZephyrusM16 shorter 5 hours battery life but if you use igpu only mode it could last maybe 6-7 hours.

Starting uni soon so I wanted some good laptop recommendations since I don't know anything.

I plan on using the laptop to browse, create PowerPoint, edit, run an online business and general research

Price: up to £1,600 or 2,224 usd 

I've heard alot about Intel and amd AMD but i don't know which ones good so any information on them would be helpful :)

What I would like:
•lasts long (couples of years)
•long battery life ( more than 7 ideally)
•back-lit keyboard
•doesn't overheat
•good audio and camera 
•storage 512GB and up
•good build 
•RAM 8GB+

I've heard that's SSD storage is better than HDD. So the storage I would ideally like to be SSD.

A question I have is would it be better to buy a laptop with 1 terabyte of storage or buy one with 512GB and upgrade it? 

I'm open to all laptops within the budget. If you could suggest one and say why it is good from experience that would be greatly helpful.

The weight doesn't really bother me but if it's on the lighter side that would be nice.
