is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":177.519,"end_s":185.28,"text":"what i would probably recommend that you get it's the kind of thing where

and it's a gaming laptop but it doesn't have all of the gamer looks about it which makes it great to use as an everyday laptop as well it's a great combo so thanks to lenovo legion and Intel for sponsoring this video and let's get straight into it power brick first of course so let's see here 300 watts that's a lot of watts for a laptop i think this thing has a 3080 in it though so no wonder oh got a sticker okay here we go though there's the main event let's have a little look at the i o here so headphone jack Thunderbolt 4 love to see that we also have our power input usba three of them HDMI 2.1 we also have another Thunderbolt 4 port right here full size Ethernet and then usb type c not Thunderbolt and it looks like a little webcam hardware shut off the look overall is not too over the top for a gaming machine it just seems like it's all mostly stamped aluminum with some plastic stuff i think that this right here is plastic but along here is all metal build quality is fantastic this thing is like i said pretty much all aluminum very stiff around the whole thing no complaints it's also just set up in like a logical way for a laptop like we've got a nice big track pad very generous keyboard even has num keys i know some people love those the real star of the show here though is the display what i love most about this display is the 16x10 it's the sort of thing where it adds a lot of versatility to the laptop where you're able to do things like web browsing using words spreadsheets basically all of your productivity crap is a lot easier to do on a display like this as opposed to 16 by 10 but then you also have the 165 hertz and it makes everything smoother oh and also has g-sync support this one's a 30 60 i thought we had the 3081 jono i guess it is good we get to see how this one holds up as opposed to the 3080 version that i've already used before and is expectedly incredibly fast let's just do a full rundown of the specs here so we have an Intel core i7 11800h so that's eight cores 4.6 gigahertz max turbo we also have 16 gigabytes of RAM 3200 mega transfers per second 512 Gigabyte SSD i would probably spec it with a little bit more if you want a bunch of games but we'll see if we can upgrade that later for wi-fi we have Intel wi-fi six ax-201 so that is basically the best wi-fi card that you can get and our rtx 3060. this right here looks like it's the six Gigabyte version so this is what i would probably recommend that you get it's the kind of thing where this chassis will handle a 3080 or a 30 70. it's not going to care it can do the cooling i believe this is vapor chamber cooled but as a laptop i would much rather have a 3060 in it because it's still it's going to be fine for playing all of your games it can most likely we'll see in a bit but do 1440p 165 hertz in the majority of things and g-sync will help you out if it can't quite and then you don't have to worry about being super loud or being super power hungry when you're on battery and so on i think 3060 is where i would go with this one lenovo legion specifically said in their notes that they want some high octane gameplay for this so uh should we turn over the farm in valheim jonno yeah uh we should probably make this guy some clothing first i haven't really used him yet so we've got a bunch of carrots here well a bunch of carrot seeds actually here we go we're getting 98 FPS while planting carrots lenovo also has their legion ai engine so that basically just allows you to well it decides when it needs to be loud and quiet and so on you basically don't have to screw around with Windows power management profiles and i lost about 30 FPS let's uh let's go back to auto so we can just figure out what it needs to do yeah now we're back up to 90 FPS that's a lot better so silent mode does work yeah it it just doesn't make your performance great so overall i would say that that was an excellent seed planting experience i still have 65 carrot seeds but those can be for another day 30 60 is doing great as expected i am seeing some dips to like 70 60 FPS not really a problem and it is absolutely cranked right now so i'm sure that if i wanted to i could easily get an extra 30 40 FPS from it by just turning off a couple of kind of dumb settings there's a situation that we're like this screen just looks so good at this size you really do not need 4k and with this GPU you could not run 4k like just full stop it wouldn't do it but it's pretty happy running 1440p and it looks great like it's real nice and bright colors are good 165 hertz that's probably my favorite bit along with the g-sync which means that like we are dropping to like 70 60 FPS in spots but the whole thing still feels smooth and there's no tearing or crap so you're not noticing it i don't know if you saw that but down in the bottom right corner a little pop-up came up that said display mode dedicated GPU mode only which is awesome because this has a dedicated muk switch and i think that that means that it has NVIDIA optimus plus or two whatever the crap it is doesn't matter basically means that in some laptops you have your GPU and your igpu and GPU goes through the igpu to the display and you lose like 10 performance and this right here goes straight from the GPU to the display you get those extra frames love to see it now we get some real high octane gameplay oh HDR i can enable it let's see what happens but we do have ray tracing in this game i don't think i'm gonna turn it on but what i do think i'm going to do is enable dlss so that's kind of the thing where when you have a 3060 what i would lean on their tensor ai ray tracing cores to do the legion 7i is powered by the latest 11th gen Intel core h-series mobile processors it offers streamers and content creators a choice of high-performance processors for superior streaming low latency high FPS and close to desktop caliber performance on mobile it's basically the best gaming processor you can get these days i just love the display it's a big selling feature for me personally one thing i did notice while we were gaming there is that the keyboard seems like it's tuned for games so um yeah so the keyboard on this has a really short snappy throw and not a whole lot of force to hit the keys it's quite good for typing on although it's not quite as like tactile as you would want for like a real productivity focus machine but it trades that off to make it way easier to game on so sort of thing where when you're hitting wasd the low actuation force makes it just easier to do that and you're not going to get like hand cramps from having to push down control and shift and use a lot of force to do that and it's not like the typing experience is bad it's just it's clearly geared towards gaming specifically this is the kind of keyboard where it's super easy to have really fast inputs because it's like a real nice little snap at the start so you can really like trackpad is good it's the kind of thing where if you have a trackpad on a gaming laptop that's not bad you've basically won this one right here it's big enough that i'm not mad at it and it tracks well enough that i haven't noticed anything bad about it again and even looks like the latency on it is quite decent as well you can sometimes notice when you have like a high refresh rate display like this one right here that the experience between using a mouse that's pulling at whatever this is like 500 or a thousand hertz and then you go to your track pad and just kind of feels jelloy this one's really quite good i'm actually curious what it's pulling at okay yeah it's not magic so it is pulling at 144 hertz like pretty much every track pad does you're not going to get super high pulling rate track pads these days just because the trade-off is the more hurts it has the more battery life it uses okay that's not bad they're like a bit on the muddy side but there is some bass there which is a lot more than you can say about most laptop speakers i would say adequate heck yeah look at that 80 megabytes per second over wi-fi that wi-fi six card is pretty legit oh one thing that i forgot to talk about before that i really like about this laptop are the markings here for the i o they light up when you have it on and it makes plugging stuff in when you're looking like back and around way easier that was a very simple disassembly just some phillips head screws now this looks like a pretty typical stamped aluminum part which is fine i think it's these days probably the most sense making way to manufacture laptops because you get the nice rigidity without it being super balls expensive like unibody chassis so it looks like we have two m.2 slots so there we go take off this little heat spreader thing we see our wi-fi card and our SSD looks like it is what is this it's made by samsung excellent on the other side we have an empty m.2 slot as long as you have a phillips head screw and a guitar pick you're going to be able to upgrade your storage in this without much issue now under right here the RAM i really hope that's upgradable sick it is so here are two sodium slots it's eight gigabytes 1r x16 memory so this is the more slower stuff but also big oems can't get the more faster uh 8x stuff so there you go this is a sort of laptop where you could easily do double duty as like a school engineering creator video editing or you know architect laptop as opposed to just gaming only and the rest of what we see in here is all vapor chambers so all the way down here up here we've got CPU GPU presumably probably a bunch of vrm crap in here and it goes to exhausts there and there got two fans that have little legion logo on them very nice i love vapor chambers they allow you to have laptops like this that are relatively quiet and relatively cool and finally we have what is this an 80 watt hour battery which is pretty decent for a laptop of this size up to 6.6 hours now if you get the non-eye version of this you should be able to eat a bit more battery life out of it this is the kind of laptop where what you're doing is what will determine your battery life if you take it down to 60 hertz on the display and drop the brightness and don't game you'll probably get those six hours and apparently there's rapid charging it'll do zero to 50 percent in less than 30 minutes which is pretty cool that that's the kind of thing that can save your bacon if you're doing a big long trip to the library or group project or something there you go awesome laptop great display just love the display on this thing that's the selling feature for me personally huge thanks to nova legion Intel for sponsoring today's video and if you
