    Good find.

    Only competitor here is Blade 14, Zephyrus G14, Alienware X14 and Stealth 14.

    Automatically ignoring the last two because intel -H in a thermally strained 14' = bad news. The former two is way more expensive, even if they are more upgradable in regards to ram & ssd and have higher specs avalible.

    Would not recommend the cpu upgrade here for whatever reason, ram upgrade if you really it, cant upgrade it yourself after all and is still cheaper than Apple ram upgrades.

      the 7940hs has software for undervolting apparently and it’s higher bin so could be worth, then again the 7745hx is even faster see other deal

      these are a bit bulky but almost desktop class performance

    Soldered RAM kind of turns me off this

        BGA re-soldering is not a trivial task unless you're a tech repair shop (or an enthusiast hobbyist) with sufficient tools and experience. It's not as simple as "solder a wire", and if you try to use that kit to do the task I think it would be quite challenging to succeed.

    • snep on 13/09/2023 - 20:16

      The upgrade to 32gb adds $300 bringing it to $2123 — a bit expensive but not ridiculous, I'd definitely take it if I was considering this device. Soldered RAM usually has advantages in terms of latency and bandwidth too so it's not all bad news.

      • Shmexalicious on 16/09/2023 - 19:37

        Does it also add the 4070? The 16" Slim 5 adds the 4070 on top of the RAM upgrade so it's significantly more than the minor RAM upgrade cost listed on the site.

          I guess if you must have the 14” version

          There are plenty of other options if you don’t need gpu and want portability, search 7840hs laptop on aliexpress

      • quill on 13/09/2023 - 20:09

        IPS vs OLED tho

          I honestly don’t know how you can spend significant time working on a 14” screen. Anywhere I go I just plug it in to a monitor/tv

          4k tvs are a lifesaver

    Was going to wait for surface pro new release to upgrade my 5 year old metabox… but this looks tempting

    • incipient on 13/09/2023 - 19:00

      The surface pro and this are in a very different class - not saying which one you need, just saying they're quite very different devices/use cases (which I'm sure you're aware of, if you went to the effort of getting a metabox haha)

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 13/09/2023 - 19:02

        Am aware.

        Requirement is an ultra portable with grunt for photoshop/ premiere. Already have iPad Pro for media consumption.

        Metabox was a gaming rig replacement/ work was paying for it. I don’t really game on pc anymore. Most of it is either Xbox games pass on couch or steam deck.

  • Kangal on 13/09/2023 - 19:58

    The $1900 price is tempting, but the RTX 4060 is a big turn off.

    Rather they just kept to the AMD iGPU inside, instead of this dGPU which adds weight, heat, cost and robs the laptop of space. All for performance that's around an RX 6650XT or RX 7600 or the RTX 3060. It's just not worth the trade-off. They could've shaved off the price down to $1700 whilst upgrading other components like adding a Touchscreen, Pen Support, and 4K Webcam, etc etc.

    But everyone would have preferred that they instead raised the price to $2,000 but upgraded the dGPU to an RTX 4070 instead. But that's just fishfull winking ; )

      Maybe take a look at the 14" Yoga 7/Pro 7? You can spec them with a 7735U/HS and iGPU, and the Yoga 7 has a touch OLED spec for $1300.

      • coresome on 14/09/2023 - 08:19

        7735 doesnt have rdna3 tho

        • snep on 15/09/2023 - 02:33

          The 780M is barely an upgrade over the 680M — 10% in synthetic benchmarks and < 5% in gaming is nothing to be excited about. Memory and TDP are more important factors here.

          That said, something like a 7840HS is a nice bump in CPU performance over the 7735HS.

        • wackedupwacko on 16/09/2023 - 00:30

          I pulled the trigger on the above yoga 7 when cashback was at a bonus.
          Worked out to be sub $1200.

          iGPU on this is a beast. No problems running older games. Newer games, just drop resolution and down to medium which for a thin and light on iGPU is pretty nuts.

          780M is nice, but not +$1000 nice. Either way it can play games fine which is a lot more than what intel can do.

  • choofa on 13/09/2023 - 23:02

    I need a wfh laptop that could do some light gaming and support PC vr gaming with a quest 3.

      Am keen for this as well but gaming is for Baldur's Gate 3 game

  • kypermaster on 13/09/2023 - 23:59

    Has anyone tried this laptop, if so how are the thermals and sound of the fan when under load and normal use? I'm not a big fan of playing on a jet simulator, so if anyone has used it before pls lmk know, thanks

    • DrDan on 14/09/2023 - 02:05

      Seems new laptop doubt anyone would have

    • gravelcrowman on 14/09/2023 - 10:29

      Reviews have been largely positive around thermals and noise, and if you're willing to sacrifice 10-15% in-game performance (not really an issue for less intensive games) you can keep it in the 'quiet' profile. I just picked up a Legion 5 Pro with a 4070 and in performance mode, like any other gaming laptop, it's loud. But I can run Baldur's Gate 3 in quiet mode comfortably on high settings at native resolution.

  • Avarus999 on 15/09/2023 - 07:30

    Pulled the trigger this morning. I was a little worried about build quality as I haven't owned a legion before, but no matter what it has to be better than my last laptop (Alienware) that had screws explode out the side of the hinge and overheated on low specs games.
