1 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:07,500 Lenovo and Intel sponsored this video where we're going to be looking at well 2 00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:13,920 there's a legion gaming laptop here we go look at how thin this is 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:20,699 70 in it first of all the power adapter this is a slim charger that does up to 4 00:00:16,460 --> 00:00:22,439 230 Watts not bad now if you want you 5 00:00:20,699 --> 00:00:27,420 don't need to use this and if you have a USB type-c charger you can plug it in 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:31,439 right here this will accept up to 140 watts of fast charging looking at the i 7 00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:37,920 o we have headphone microphone combo Jack USB type-c which supports power 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,140 delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 Thunderbolt 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:47,640 4 which also does that power delivery around back we have DC charging HDMI 2.1 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,500 love to see it three USB type A's 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,039 awesome you normally only get like one of those on a laptop 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:57,480 and around the right side we have a full size SD card reader awesome if you want 13 00:00:55,260 --> 00:01:02,160 to do video or photo editing and a little switch for the webcam now 14 00:00:59,879 --> 00:01:08,040 what you've probably noticed though is that this is very thin this thing's just 15 00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:12,180 over 17 millimeters thick which for something that has a 40 70 in it hot 16 00:01:10,619 --> 00:01:16,979 dang guys I hope that this right here isn't well super loud find it soon also 17 00:01:14,939 --> 00:01:22,020 while we're here the design of this looks really good like it just looks 18 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:26,280 rather plain like from a distance but when you get close the details are 19 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:31,619 excellent like if you look at this we have what is likely CNC diamond cut all 20 00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:35,880 around the edges in this way that just looks absolutely fantastic can we catch 21 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:41,159 the light with it here oh there we go you can really see how it's just like a 22 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,079 nice fancy little flare you don't need RGB when you just have nice materials 23 00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:47,240 um 24 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,479 one finger very easy oh that's a big 25 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,100 display I absolutely love that they're going to 16 by 10 on all of the gaming 26 00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:02,640 devices because like you still want to use a gaming device 27 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,079 for productivity and that just makes it better 28 00:02:03,899 --> 00:02:06,079 oh 29 00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:14,160 this is a well-built chassis look at this oh 30 00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:17,840 oh okay you can you can kind of get some Flex around the keyboard if you try 31 00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:27,720 he that is legit one of the stiffest chassis that I've seen in ages Jake just 32 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,020 asked what I think of the reverse Notch up here 33 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:36,060 and I think that's a really great way to sort of compromise it like you're not 34 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,300 getting a huge bezel up here and also 35 00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:42,660 boom awesome overlooking at it they have 36 00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:45,660 so much cooling here so look just all of 37 00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:48,000 like the back half of this all along 38 00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:55,260 here and then same on the other side there is just so much heatsink wrapping 39 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:59,760 all the way around this now normally I would be concerned when laptop makers do 40 00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:03,540 something like this that you can't have easy access to the i o because like it's 41 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:07,379 out here it gets in the way but they have it on the back and it is really 42 00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:10,739 nice when you have these little lights back here which lets you know what you 43 00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:15,599 want so let's just turn it on and I'll show you that that is so nice when you 44 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,659 like need to Fumble around and figure out where these are that little bit of 45 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:24,239 light oh love it Lenovo 46 00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:27,680 how heavy is this thing well I know it's 4.4 pounds but let's just check 47 00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:38,040 4.7 4.8 pounds what's that in real units 48 00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:39,599 uh uh 2.1 kilograms so that is a bit 49 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,879 heavier than they quoted but at the same time that is still very like for a 50 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,060 machine like this and particularly one that is this well built can you see any 51 00:03:47,099 --> 00:03:52,500 Flex nothing yeah this is really well built 52 00:03:50,459 --> 00:03:58,140 what's up with Windows at the manatees not the first time but we have like a 53 00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,200 whole spread here facts about sea cows 54 00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:04,200 explore their Hidden World 55 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,180 wow that is distracting okay but before 56 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:11,280 we go to notepad I need to adjust this RGB because that is ridiculous yeah 57 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,879 threes okay all right function space bar allows you 58 00:04:13,379 --> 00:04:19,260 to change the RGB to something that's not completely obnoxious I want to test 59 00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:22,680 out the keyboard because like you know having a good gaming 60 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:27,300 laptops all good and stuff but if you don't have the basics down it doesn't 61 00:04:24,419 --> 00:04:31,340 really matter this has 1.5 millimeters of travel and let's have a little test 62 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:43,500 keyboard is great I would give it an a maybe an A plus it doesn't have the most 63 00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:45,120 tactile or like forceful actuation but 64 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:50,820 at the same time there's loads of travel the keys are well stabilized and also 65 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:54,060 since it doesn't have quite as much actuation force it's really nice for 66 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:59,280 gaming because like if you're holding shift or control or whatever for a long 67 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,259 amount of time W it can get kind of 68 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,540 fatiguing if you have like really heavy switches these are just very simple 69 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:10,860 nice little soft boys as for the trackpad they didn't quite 70 00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:15,600 maximize the space that it takes up here but at the same time it looks like it's 71 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:20,699 glass topped and the tracking overall is good it is pretty great honestly that 72 00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,900 Windows devices have good track pads these days kind of just across the board 73 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,440 I haven't felt an awful one in a while which is really saying something when 74 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,460 you review as many gaming laptops as I do and all of them are 75 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:37,199 generally pretty good I don't think this right here gets like a 76 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,820 a minus it needs a little bit more to 77 00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:43,139 get all the way there I like a big one oh well whatever points 78 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,759 they don't get for having a smaller track pad they do get back for having a 79 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:52,500 much larger keyboard so over on the right here we have a full num key set 80 00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:56,880 which I personally take it or leave it don't really care but I know a lot of 81 00:05:54,539 --> 00:06:01,320 people just absolutely die to have a numb pad like just freak here if you're 82 00:05:59,340 --> 00:06:05,160 an accountant or I don't know putting stuff into Excel spreadsheets all the 83 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:10,320 time from your laptop engineers and SolidWorks love having one of these 84 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,960 overall just a good thing to have for display the one that we have right here 85 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,940 is the optional 3200 by 2000 panel so 86 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:22,259 that's a little bit higher resolution at 165 Hertz but uh I don't think this is 87 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:28,319 the one that you should get they also have a 240 hertz model that goes up to 88 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:32,819 500 nits this one right here is only 430 so I don't know just get the one that's 89 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:38,220 slightly lower resolution but still enough resolution that is a higher 90 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:42,479 refresh rate and brighter probably that said if you're a video editor or a photo 91 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:48,000 editor you might want this higher resolution one and 165 Hertz is not a 92 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,840 refresh rate that I'm about to complain about I also really appreciate that 93 00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:56,460 they've gone with a matte display on this it's something that's kind of come 94 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,759 and gone in popularity and I really like that matte displays are having a 95 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:04,979 comeback right now especially on gaming devices like you don't want the I don't 96 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,819 know your RGB lights that are behind your streaming setup to be flickering 97 00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:13,560 off of your display you want just the nice mat 98 00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:15,000 165 Hertz level all right uh I was a 99 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,639 little bit concerned that we wouldn't be able to uh get this quite working at 100 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,139 this really high resolution and I think I was correct but we're gonna we're 101 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:30,599 gonna click the GPU overdrive and the overdrive GPU working mode D GPU mode 102 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:35,220 Hell yeah save just doing a quick restart to ensure 103 00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:38,940 that the GPU is connected directly to the panel now you can do it kind of 104 00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:42,840 either way you can either have the GPU connected directly to the panel or it 105 00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:47,160 can go through the integrated Graphics to the panel and you lose about 10 of 106 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:51,240 your performance we're just gonna lock it down make sure that it's always doing 107 00:07:49,259 --> 00:07:57,000 it correctly maybe we'll get better performance we'll see all right we got 108 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,220 over 10 FPS by doing the GPU and 109 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,319 increasing the GPU power which makes sense and is awesome all right Paul did 110 00:08:02,039 --> 00:08:09,720 Paul die did someone kill Paul someone killed Paul where's my Dev commands 111 00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:13,979 yeah super Paul all right we've now 112 00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:19,560 successfully cheated our way to having good gear ha ha 113 00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:26,340 goodbye Paul's not OP P of course this being a 40 70. there is 114 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,900 a massive bread of how fast a 40 70 can 115 00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:34,500 be and this right here lands somewhere in the middle this right here has a 125 116 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:36,899 Watt tgp and a total of 140 Watts 117 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:41,760 available to everything so you might be thinking uh there's not a whole lot of 118 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:47,640 power left over for the CPU once you you know use up 125 of that for the GPU but 119 00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:52,800 Lenovo has a way around that all we've got in here is Lenovo AI engine plus and 120 00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:56,880 what that is doing is it is looking at how you are using your computer and how 121 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:01,680 different programs are using your computer's resources at optimizing your 122 00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:06,899 computer for that so like some games will absolutely love drawing a whole 123 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:12,180 bunch of CPU power and on other laptops if you have your like turbo Ultra mode 124 00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:16,920 where your GPU gets all the power it will actually go slower because your CPU 125 00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:23,100 is being sacrificed this right here is going to over time learn how your game 126 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:25,320 like to behave and slowly in theory at 127 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:29,820 least make them faster now like I said before there is a 240 hertz panel option 128 00:09:27,959 --> 00:09:37,700 and I'm just going to knock it down to that resolution and see what we get so 129 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:41,580 now at 1600 P we're looking at 130 00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:44,820 110 115 FPS 131 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:46,980 this is oh there we go 132 00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:52,380 so yeah this Hardware that we have in here even though it does seem like it is 133 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:55,980 quite capable is much better suited for 134 00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:58,320 the 1600p as opposed to the 2000. for 135 00:09:55,980 --> 00:10:03,240 the gaming there I did have overdrive on which is you know it's the fans give it 136 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,560 mode but they still were not too bad like it was really going full bore there 137 00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:11,040 and even though the fans were kind of loud like I'm sure you were able to hear 138 00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:15,360 them they weren't like high pitched whining or had any 139 00:10:12,839 --> 00:10:19,260 like distracting elements to it it was more just like a whoosh and like white 140 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:25,620 noise as opposed to like like those really annoying ones for the 141 00:10:21,420 --> 00:10:27,899 CPU get the Intel I9 13900h that is six 142 00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:33,240 performance cores eight efficiency cores and a max turbo frequency of 5.4 143 00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:38,040 gigahertz insta like this I saw can't believe how 144 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:45,180 fast laptops have gotten recently particularly in the CPU space for the 145 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,640 RAM we get 32 gigabytes of dddr5 at 5200 146 00:10:45,180 --> 00:10:51,899 Mega transfers per second now Lenovo does have some slightly faster ones I 147 00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:56,880 think some of their Legion line goes up to 6000 but it's kind of like going from 148 00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:04,079 the fastest that everyone else has to the absolute fastest for the SSD it's a 149 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,660 Samsung one terabyte excellent Wi-Fi 6E 150 00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:13,800 yep they got it and of course like I said the RTX 4070 with 125 watts 151 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:16,019 dedicated to it well available to it 152 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:20,399 it's not always going to get that and one thing to note is that the laptop 153 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,839 version of the 4070 is first of all not actually a 4070 but also we only get 154 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:29,760 eight gigabytes of RAM which 155 00:11:26,839 --> 00:11:35,100 is sort of enough but we are starting to see in some games that not quite cutting 156 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,300 it if you are concerned about having the best graphics and the most modern of 157 00:11:36,839 --> 00:11:44,720 titles maybe look at one of their thicker Boys in this one 158 00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:47,160 sounds good so far all right all right 159 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:53,120 that's nice and loud it has a nice enveloping sound as they say but does it 160 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:53,120 have the bass 161 00:11:53,660 --> 00:12:00,380 that's respectable that's pretty darn 162 00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:00,380 good I'm curious 163 00:12:02,839 --> 00:12:06,740 oh 164 00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:11,180 yeah okay 165 00:12:11,180 --> 00:12:18,300 so what I just discovered there is that they have these down firing little 166 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,980 Tweeter chummies in here you can see it right yeah there 167 00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:27,540 and you actually get quite a bit more clarity and high end when you have it on 168 00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:32,100 a table so it can bounce that sound off of here and just kind of makes the whole 169 00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:36,000 thing sound larger and generally more better excellent job while we're here 170 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:39,899 let's just have another little look at the display from you know a Content 171 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:47,279 consumption point of view this supports Dolby vision and HDR 400 and it looks 172 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:51,839 pretty darn good like you're not getting OLED levels of Darkness there but you're 173 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:55,800 also not getting older levels of battery drain most likely Lenovo says this will 174 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,760 get you up to 12 hours of battery life which I think is 175 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:03,420 pretty optimistic given the amount of power that this thing has but at the 176 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:08,399 same time if you treat it really really nicely you might be able to get that 177 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,860 also Intel thread director it allows it 178 00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:14,519 to you know balance the tasks between all of the different programs and stuff 179 00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:18,360 that we have open and as you saw we were able to screen record and play video 180 00:13:16,380 --> 00:13:23,820 games at the same time it had no trouble you have you have 20 threads 181 00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:29,760 it's pretty darn good at multitasking and also we have a webcam which has 182 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:34,079 Toby Horizon support what the hell is that okay 183 00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:39,180 Toby Horizon is like a type of head tracking and even though I don't quite 184 00:13:36,779 --> 00:13:43,079 know the usefulness they did show a Euro Truck Simulator version that uh looks 185 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:47,940 pretty sick honestly if that's a game that you like maybe this will be a great 186 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,860 feature for you also this webcam it is 187 00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:53,820 doing a pretty good job of exposing for my face actually it had some trouble at 188 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:57,060 first but it figured it out this is an incredibly challenging situation because 189 00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:02,100 we have like a light there and a light there and you even still get some detail 190 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:06,899 in like this black sound isolation stuff let's see also uh we're on the crappy 191 00:14:04,139 --> 00:14:10,980 set for ShortCircuit today so there's there's just Warehouse there 192 00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:16,320 empty Warehouse over there if you're wondering why the uh the sound sucks 193 00:14:13,079 --> 00:14:18,480 it's temporary it's temporary but like I 194 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,560 moved it all around there and it still is exposing for my face which is the 195 00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:26,639 most important thing in a webcam it's a little bit on the grainy side 196 00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:32,730 but it's a webcam you can only ask so much let's just verify that the disabler 197 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:36,000 switch Works goodbye cool it does 198 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,519 oh wow I was not expecting to see heat 199 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:46,980 pipes in here but uh this one right here is a chungus 200 00:14:44,459 --> 00:14:54,360 yeah we don't need that so it said in task manager that we had 201 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:58,399 two sodium slots but I only see one now 202 00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:00,899 the RAM is confusing so some of them 203 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:06,839 will have eight gigabytes on board others will have 16 but all of them only 204 00:15:04,199 --> 00:15:11,279 have one RAM slot so that means that it might be very easy for you to upgrade to 205 00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:15,899 32 gigabytes or you might be only upgrading to 24 but either way you can 206 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:21,300 upgrade the RAM that's a pretty great in 2023 also what you can upgrade is the 207 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:27,180 SSD so we have one right over here and if you want a second boom goes right in 208 00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:30,000 there great job guys also big old 209 00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:35,220 battery 99.9 Watt hours the largest that you can take on a plane which excellent 210 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:40,620 It's you know I still have no clue how good the battery life is on this thing 211 00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:43,740 but it's as good as it can be 212 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:47,279 more heat pipes ah for cooling we get 213 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:51,000 lenovo's cold front 5.0 which basically 214 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:53,040 means heat pipes fins they cool it good 215 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,899 as you can see they have done quite a good job so we have fins here fins back 216 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:02,880 there big old heat pipe like this this is a fat boy right there and then a 217 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:06,779 couple smaller ones which still like what's that like a 15 millimeter heat 218 00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:12,600 pipe something stupid like that absolutely massive the fans they have a 219 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,720 fancy Liquid Crystal polymer system 220 00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:19,500 that's a really fancy way of saying that they put glass into the plastic which 221 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:23,519 does actually make it more rigid and is good now of course this being a 222 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:28,260 sponsored video I cannot give you a recommendation but I couldn't anyway 223 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:31,860 because I don't know the price yet that said though I can almost certainly 224 00:16:29,699 --> 00:16:36,959 guarantee you that this thing is not cheap it is well built and fast which in 225 00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:40,620 these days means it is going to be expensive if you want something that's a 226 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:46,320 little bit less the Lenovo Legion slim 5i is already out and that one comes in 227 00:16:43,079 --> 00:16:49,380 at 2120 which 228 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,180 yeah huge thanks to Lenovo and Intel for 229 00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:56,820 sponsoring this video you can check out the 7i down below and I don't know just 230 00:16:54,779 --> 00:16:59,959 go get yourself a little treat you deserve it have a great day
