and Intel sponsored this video where we're going to be looking at well there's a legion gaming laptop here we go look at how thin this is 70 in it first of all the power adapter this is a slim charger that does up to 230 Watts not bad now if you want you don't need to use this and if you have a USB type-c charger you can plug it in right here this will accept up to 140 watts of fast charging looking at the i o we have headphone microphone combo Jack USB type-c which supports power delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 Thunderbolt 4 which also does that power delivery around back we have DC charging HDMI 2.1 love to see it three USB type A's awesome you normally only get like one of those on a laptop and around the right side we have a full size SD card reader awesome if you want to do video or photo editing and a little switch for the webcam now what you've probably noticed though is that this is very thin this thing's just over 17 millimeters thick which for something that has a 40 70 in it hot dang guys I hope that this right here isn't well super loud find it soon also while we're here the design of this looks really good like it just looks rather plain like from a distance but when you get close the details are excellent like if you look at this we have what is likely CNC diamond cut all around the edges in this way that just looks absolutely fantastic can we catch the light with it here oh there we go you can really see how it's just like a nice fancy little flare you don't need RGB when you just have nice materials um one finger very easy oh that's a big display I absolutely love that they're going to 16 by 10 on all of the gaming devices because like you still want to use a gaming device for productivity and that just makes it better oh this is a well-built chassis look at this oh oh okay you can you can kind of get some Flex around the keyboard if you try he that is legit one of the stiffest chassis that I've seen in ages Jake just asked what I think of the reverse Notch up here and I think that's a really great way to sort of compromise it like you're not getting a huge bezel up here and also boom awesome overlooking at it they have so much cooling here so look just all of like the back half of this all along here and then same on the other side there is just so much heatsink wrapping all the way around this now normally I would be concerned when laptop makers do something like this that you can't have easy access to the i o because like it's out here it gets in the way but they have it on the back and it is really nice when you have these little lights back here which lets you know what you want so let's just turn it on and I'll show you that that is so nice when you like need to Fumble around and figure out where these are that little bit of light oh love it Lenovo how heavy is this thing well I know it's 4.4 pounds but let's just check 4.7 4.8 pounds what's that in real units uh uh 2.1 kilograms so that is a bit heavier than they quoted but at the same time that is still very like for a machine like this and particularly one that is this well built can you see any Flex nothing yeah this is really well built what's up with Windows at the manatees not the first time but we have like a whole spread here facts about sea cows explore their Hidden World wow that is distracting okay but before we go to notepad I need to adjust this RGB because that is ridiculous yeah threes okay all right function space bar allows you to change the RGB to something that's not completely obnoxious I want to test out the keyboard because like you know having a good gaming laptops all good and stuff but if you don't have the basics down it doesn't really matter this has 1.5 millimeters of travel and let's have a little test keyboard is great I would give it an a maybe an A plus it doesn't have the most tactile or like forceful actuation but at the same time there's loads of travel the keys are well stabilized and also since it doesn't have quite as much actuation force it's really nice for gaming because like if you're holding shift or control or whatever for a long amount of time W it can get kind of fatiguing if you have like really heavy switches these are just very simple nice little soft boys as for the trackpad they didn't quite maximize the space that it takes up here but at the same time it looks like it's glass topped and the tracking overall is good it is pretty great honestly that Windows devices have good track pads these days kind of just across the board I haven't felt an awful one in a while which is really saying something when you review as many gaming laptops as I do and all of them are generally pretty good I don't think this right here gets like a a minus it needs a little bit more to get all the way there I like a big one oh well whatever points they don't get for having a smaller track pad they do get back for having a much larger keyboard so over on the right here we have a full num key set which I personally take it or leave it don't really care but I know a lot of people just absolutely die to have a numb pad like just freak here if you're an accountant or I don't know putting stuff into Excel spreadsheets all the time from your laptop engineers and SolidWorks love having one of these overall just a good thing to have for display the one that we have right here is the optional 3200 by 2000 panel so that's a little bit higher resolution at 165 Hertz but uh I don't think this is the one that you should get they also have a 240 hertz model that goes up to 500 nits this one right here is only 430 so I don't know just get the one that's slightly lower resolution but still enough resolution that is a higher refresh rate and brighter probably that said if you're a video editor or a photo editor you might want this higher resolution one and 165 Hertz is not a refresh rate that I'm about to complain about I also really appreciate that they've gone with a matte display on this it's something that's kind of come and gone in popularity and I really like that matte displays are having a comeback right now especially on gaming devices like you don't want the I don't know your RGB lights that are behind your streaming setup to be flickering off of your display you want just the nice mat 165 Hertz level all right uh I was a little bit concerned that we wouldn't be able to uh get this quite working at this really high resolution and I think I was correct but we're gonna we're gonna click the GPU overdrive and the overdrive GPU working mode D GPU mode Hell yeah save just doing a quick restart to ensure that the GPU is connected directly to the panel now you can do it kind of either way you can either have the GPU connected directly to the panel or it can go through the integrated Graphics to the panel and you lose about 10 of your performance we're just gonna lock it down make sure that it's always doing it correctly maybe we'll get better performance we'll see all right we got over 10 FPS by doing the GPU and increasing the GPU power which makes sense and is awesome all right Paul did Paul die did someone kill Paul someone killed Paul where's my Dev commands yeah super Paul all right we've now successfully cheated our way to having good gear ha ha goodbye Paul's not OP P of course this being a 40 70. there is a massive bread of how fast a 40 70 can be and this right here lands somewhere in the middle this right here has a 125 Watt tgp and a total of 140 Watts available to everything so you might be thinking uh there's not a whole lot of power left over for the CPU once you you know use up 125 of that for the GPU but Lenovo has a way around that all we've got in here is Lenovo AI engine plus and what that is doing is it is looking at how you are using your computer and how different programs are using your computer's resources at optimizing your computer for that so like some games will absolutely love drawing a whole bunch of CPU power and on other laptops if you have your like turbo Ultra mode where your GPU gets all the power it will actually go slower because your CPU is being sacrificed this right here is going to over time learn how your game like to behave and slowly in theory at least make them faster now like I said before there is a 240 hertz panel option and I'm just going to knock it down to that resolution and see what we get so now at 1600 P we're looking at 110 115 FPS this is oh there we go so yeah this Hardware that we have in here even though it does seem like it is quite capable is much better suited for the 1600p as opposed to the 2000. for the gaming there I did have overdrive on which is you know it's the fans give it mode but they still were not too bad like it was really going full bore there and even though the fans were kind of loud like I'm sure you were able to hear them they weren't like high pitched whining or had any like distracting elements to it it was more just like a whoosh and like white noise as opposed to like like those really annoying ones for the CPU get the Intel I9 13900h that is six performance cores eight efficiency cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4 gigahertz insta like this I saw can't believe how fast laptops have gotten recently particularly in the CPU space for the RAM we get 32 gigabytes of dddr5 at 5200 Mega transfers per second now Lenovo does have some slightly faster ones I think some of their Legion line goes up to 6000 but it's kind of like going from the fastest that everyone else has to the absolute fastest for the SSD it's a Samsung one terabyte excellent Wi-Fi 6E yep they got it and of course like I said the RTX 4070 with 125 watts dedicated to it well available to it it's not always going to get that and one thing to note is that the laptop version of the 4070 is first of all not actually a 4070 but also we only get eight gigabytes of RAM which is sort of enough but we are starting to see in some games that not quite cutting it if you are concerned about having the best graphics and the most modern of titles maybe look at one of their thicker Boys in this one sounds good so far all right all right that's nice and loud it has a nice enveloping sound as they say but does it have the bass that's respectable that's pretty darn good I'm curious oh yeah okay so what I just discovered there is that they have these down firing little Tweeter chummies in here you can see it right yeah there and you actually get quite a bit more clarity and high end when you have it on a table so it can bounce that sound off of here and just kind of makes the whole thing sound larger and generally more better excellent job while we're here let's just have another little look at the display from you know a Content consumption point of view this supports Dolby vision and HDR 400 and it looks pretty darn good like you're not getting OLED levels of Darkness there but you're also not getting older levels of battery drain most likely Lenovo says this will get you up to 12 hours of battery life which I think is pretty optimistic given the amount of power that this thing has but at the same time if you treat it really really nicely you might be able to get that also Intel thread director it allows it to you know balance the tasks between all of the different programs and stuff that we have open and as you saw we were able to screen record and play video games at the same time it had no trouble you have you have 20 threads it's pretty darn good at multitasking and also we have a webcam which has Toby Horizon support what the hell is that okay Toby Horizon is like a type of head tracking and even though I don't quite know the usefulness they did show a Euro Truck Simulator version that uh looks pretty sick honestly if that's a game that you like maybe this will be a great feature for you also this webcam it is doing a pretty good job of exposing for my face actually it had some trouble at first but it figured it out this is an incredibly challenging situation because we have like a light there and a light there and you even still get some detail in like this black sound isolation stuff let's see also uh we're on the crappy set for ShortCircuit today so there's there's just Warehouse there empty Warehouse over there if you're wondering why the uh the sound sucks it's temporary it's temporary but like I moved it all around there and it still is exposing for my face which is the most important thing in a webcam it's a little bit on the grainy side but it's a webcam you can only ask so much let's just verify that the disabler switch Works goodbye cool it does oh wow I was not expecting to see heat pipes in here but uh this one right here is a chungus yeah we don't need that so it said in task manager that we had two sodium slots but I only see one now the RAM is confusing so some of them will have eight gigabytes on board others will have 16 but all of them only have one RAM slot so that means that it might be very easy for you to upgrade to 32 gigabytes or you might be only upgrading to 24 but either way you can upgrade the RAM that's a pretty great in 2023 also what you can upgrade is the SSD so we have one right over here and if you want a second boom goes right in there great job guys also big old battery 99.9 Watt hours the largest that you can take on a plane which excellent It's you know I still have no clue how good the battery life is on this thing but it's as good as it can be more heat pipes ah for cooling we get lenovo's cold front 5.0 which basically means heat pipes fins they cool it good as you can see they have done quite a good job so we have fins here fins back there big old heat pipe like this this is a fat boy right there and then a couple smaller ones which still like what's that like a 15 millimeter heat pipe something stupid like that absolutely massive the fans they have a fancy Liquid Crystal polymer system that's a really fancy way of saying that they put glass into the plastic which does actually make it more rigid and is good now of course this being a sponsored video I cannot give you a recommendation but I couldn't anyway because I don't know the price yet that said though I can almost certainly guarantee you that this thing is not cheap it is well built and fast which in these days means it is going to be expensive if you want something that's a little bit less the Lenovo Legion slim 5i is already out and that one comes in at 2120 which yeah huge thanks to Lenovo and Intel for sponsoring this video you can check out the 7i down below and I don't know just go get yourself a little treat you deserve it have a great day"}
