What is Reddit's opinion of Lenovo Legion 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop 120Hz AMD Ryzen 7-4800H 8GB RAM 512GB SSD GTX 1650 4GB - AMD Ryzen 7-4800H Octa-core - 120Hz Refresh Rate - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 - Legion Ultimate?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

60Hz, 300 nits, 100% sRGB 120Hz, 250 nits, 45% sRGB 144Hz, 300 nits, 100%sRGB, G-Sync, Dolby Vision HDR 240Hz, 500 nits, 100% sRGB, G-Sync, Dolby Vision HDR

This is what I found online, so considering the 120hz amd version listed on Amazon, it seems like its similar to the 45% sRGB of Omen

Here's another option. This one is a more high-performance option, providing you with a smoother gaming experience. However, this comes at a cost, as it is larger at 15.6" (still pretty average), thicker, heavier, and has less battery life. It is also high-quality, and would enable you to play more games and use intense mods at ultra settings in the Sims.

I game frequently and my Lenovo Legion 5 handles all of my games very well while being relatively cheap for a gaming laptop!

Thank you. Is this the first one you mentioned? it sais it only has 8gb of memory, so I would have to upgrade it right away? looked at a tutorial for adding more memory and opening up a laptop and fiddling with it's brains is not something I feel comfortable doing :/ https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

I live in europe so I bought it here. It was a campaign from a electronic store last black friday. I just converted the price to php on my last comment.

This is from amazon. Seems same price also when I bought it. https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

But amazon is in US. You may try electronic store in philippines or online shopping in there. But you may find a different versions or less more expensive one.

I was just reading up on the Gateway and the webcam is below the screen which is a dealbreaker for the wife, I think I'm going to go with the Legion 5. Amazon has this for $985: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

But Lenovo's site has a few more options that won't ship for over a month. Is that Amazon one good, or is there more to look out for as far as customizing?

Sure, I could search around a bit. What is your budget?

My default answer, in case of no budget constraints, would be to wait for HP Omen 15 (2020) to restock with the R7 4800H.

There is also the Lenovo Legion 5 you could consider once the AMD models arrive to India. It was something I originally wanted to go for. I ultimately settled for the Omen because I wanted a thermally cool laptop while working and gaming, and also a budget-friendly one at that. The Legions apparently the thing except that they are not budget friendly. lol

I also wanted Ryzen for running finite element analysis and rendering such as COMSOL/ANSYS/BLENDER (my office computer runs with a fat Threadripper 2990WX and I am quite pleased with AMD when it comes to multi-core intensive applications).

Ok in terms of CPU performance about the best in the business rn is the ryzen 7 4800h but since it's an H series it needs good cooling and it won't come in some of the thin and light in this price range and might be a little over the 1k budget(~1050). Other than that you're also sacrificing a bit of battery life.

The cheapest one I found was the Levono Legion. Comes with 8 gb RAM and 512 gigs of SSD storage and GTX 1650. The keyboard is a definite upside and the panel is pretty decent too with a 120hz refresh.

I recommend the legion 5 with 8 core AMD Ryzen 7 4800H.

It has enough cores to help stream and doesn't have gamer accents so it should be pretty stealthy in public.

This one is 879$, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB and you will have a great machine that can basically do it all.

It depends on who's the seller,

Bestmarks for example lists the HP spectre at 16999, abroad it's around 1249USD (Approximately 12000 MAD). That's a 41% cut.

I found the Lenovo Legion 5 on Amazon for 989USD, it ships to morocco but if we add shipping and import fees it becomes 1323,24 USD.

That price is too good to be true, New it goes for $1058: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

Most Dell and Legion laptops look professional and might just hit that price point.

Check this out, you might like it. Processor has 8 cores compared to the i7-10750H with only 6. This also has a 120hz screen so it should be worth it.

Sure thing. Let it be known though that a gaming laptop isn't always bought for gaming, many setups for engineers are "gamer" setups since it would allow them to work with graphics-intensive software such as CAD and Altium.

Now for comparing the IdeaPad and Legion 5

AMD 5800H vs AMD 4800H Personally I don't see too much of a difference with these two chips they're both great but if I was constricted on a budget, I would go for the 4800H despite the 5800H performing on average 3-5% better.

The GPUs are the same, the storage for the IdeaPad seems to be x2 the Legion 5.

The memory for the IdeaPad is 16GB and from the sources I could find online, these are apparently soldered to the motherboard (meaning you can't upgrade them down the line) but the Legion 5 has upgrade options in case you want to go beyond 16GB but honestly if you need more than 16GB you'd ideally opt for an actual PC and I believe 16GB will be just fine for university student.

Since you don't care about gaming, the display for the IdeaPad i'd favor a tad bit more because of its QHD IPS display and 350 nits is far better than the Legion 5's 250 nits (upgradable to 300 nits, but too expensive)

I would actually go for the IdeaPad but on the Lenovo website it says "coming soon" so I'm not sure when that'd be and whether it would be before school starts. Only downside I can think of is the non-upgradability of the RAM but as I said, 16GB is good enough.

I find battery life claims to be wildly inaccurate with my experience, so I'm not gonna make any comparisons there though usually gaming laptops have a larger battery due to higher power consumption but again, I believe the metrics are inaccurate so don't count on it. Hope this was helpful!

Sadly, nope. I don't know of any "normal" laptops at that price point. But I think investing at least 1k in a laptop that you will use for many many years would be a nice thing. I recommend this laptop right here:

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ/

It's a Lenovo legion 5, 15 inches, not too big but not too small. It's a very industrial design, so people won't stare at your laptop, and it's just an excellent laptop for day-to-day use. While I don't have one, my old buddy owns one and he loves it to death.

yeah I think it worth it for the price, but there is a better option. legion 5 has better thermal and better performance/quality. https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

assuming it's this since it's the first legion laptop in a search so just use hdmi that's on the back???

See I can see this model as listed since past 2 weeks now but there's no official words on release dates. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B087HJ4RRZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3TTwFb1EHH2D9

This one says Sep. 9 for me; might be different for your location.

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

would be a better choice than asus tuf a 15 in my opinion

Lenovo legion 5 (4800h + gtx 1650): https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ/

Obviously an overkill for sims 4, but since your budget is $1k this is the best option for you. Plus, you get to play the game at a much smoother 120 fps at the highest settings. You also want to install the game in an ssd since sims 4 has so many loading screens.

Just to be sure, this is the laptop you're talking about right?

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ

Is this the same one just lower price?: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087HJ4RRZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_O31eFbG3WA1C5

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Lenovo-Legion-Ordenador-videojuegos-actualizaci%C3%B3n/dp/B087HJ4RRZ this should be it.

To put it in perspective, for example a Lenovo Legion 5:

Unit price in Amazon is 989USD which is 48148.48PHP
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Gaming-Laptop-7-4800H/dp/B087HJ4RRZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=lenovo+legion+5&qid=1597987261&sr=8-1

Unit price in Benstore is 59,900PHP for the same specs, or 1230.38USD
https://benstore.com.ph/lenovo/4269-lenovo-legion-5-156-gaming-laptop-120hz-ryzen-7-4800h-gtx-1650-4gb-8gb-ddr4-512gb-ssd-phantom-black-.html

However, check the Amazon link again. Import Duties cost 349.42USD, bringing the actual cost to 1338.42USD. Akala mo mura unit pero napamahal ka pa ng >100USD dahil sa import duty. wala pa diyan yung shipping cost.

Same thing will happen if you buy from Japan and have it shipped here. AFAIK the tax computation for having something shipped from Japan isn't different if shipped from the US, but I might be mistaken there.

No. Ryzen 4000 is far superior to anything intel has to offer.

Personally I would go for these two:
