What is it you're pointing out in that? Neither of the discussed laptops are even in that review. Looks like you just lazily posted a link with no context hoping somebody else would find a point in it for you.

IDK if this is too late to help but there is a pretty massive price gap between these. Factor in R10 cash back and even IF you get the rebate it's a 200 dollar price difference. $400 if you don't get the rebate.

For that you get the following changes.

+16 GB of ram (Worth 100~ and about that to upgrade on the Lenovo at build. You need to be a pretty serious user for 32 vs 16 to matter. If you don't know if it matters, it probably doesn't matter to you lol).

3070 full power vs 3080 @ 130W. My GUESS (read reviews if you need to) is that the performance gap here is very minor and the auros might have thermal problems with the 11800+3080 even at 130 w. Again check reviews but I doubt there is much of a benefit here, plus imo the Ryzen is just better than the Intel unless you NEED thunderbolt. Again if you don't know you probably don't.

Lenovo has a better screen and a better form factor (16:10 16 inch vs 15.6 16:9. Better for... almost everything except watching movies maybe?). Lenovo screen is frankly a beast compared to almost everything in the 15-16 inch laptop class. 500 nits of brightness means using it outside is fine. Your current laptop is probably only putting out 200-300 TOPS.

The Gigabyte DOES have a crazy huge battery though the Lenovo is no slouch at 80 Wh either. If you plan to be off socket much this might matter or it might not. If you are off a lot you probably shouldn't be looking at either.

Also not 100% on this (again watch reviews) but the Gigabyte doesn't appear to have a MUX switch which is absurd for a gaming laptop at this price point.

Can someone confirm either the HDMI or USB C can output 144hz 1440p with gsync to an external monitor? Thanks

It really does. Lenovo is actually quite accurate with their estimated dates for better or for worse. I ordered a thinkbook once and it said 2 months, and it really took the whole 1.5 months to ship. Probably supply-related issues, but the answer is yes Frown

With latest discount changes, can get 7i and 7 for within a couple dollars of each other. 7 dropped down to 1 week ship window while 7i went to 4 months.

When I purchased the AMD version of this laptop they were claiming 3 months and I can say, it DID take that long to receive it. I had heard a few times where they make adjustments to the shipping date without telling you. You can usually check it with whatever link they give you in your email. I would expect it to take the 2 months. I hope this helps!

Quote from privater :
Just a quick note on this machine, this is a custom build order, it's just msrp + coupon saving since last week.
However if you want to do a custom build with Lenovo, there are some cons vs "ready to ship" machines:

1. It varies on shipping time, some people report within a month, some said still in waiting for 3 months+, on build page, it says 4 Months+
2. It only came with basic warranty, ready to ship usually have ultimate warranty and can be extended afterwards for 3 or 4 years for pretty cheap price(around $100-160). Basic warranty usually need more to buy extended warranty.
3. As for Legion 7i in general, all the machines are came with Micron vram
4. The HDMI 2.1 is gimped with less than 40G bandwidth, it can only output 8bit 4K@120hz
5. Memory is 1Rx16
All the Legion 7i came in vram, even the 3080 machines? Those are pretty crap, right? Which ones got the good vram, and what is the good one?

The 12th gen models are going to lauch anytime now and the performance on those will be much better as compared to this model. Price is going to be a major concern though.

Yup, I saw a listing on the SG site for 12700H, 16GB, 3070Ti, 1TB and conversions came to about $2,500 and that's on the 5 Pro, 7i will be much more. I'd probably take a 5900HX, 32GB, 3080, 1TB, 7i for $2K at that point.

I bought the AMD version with a 3080. Quoted about 3 weeks shipping, showed up in about 10 days.

For gaming there's no difference with the vram. For mining yes.
