The legion 7 w/ the 3080 from Walmart? Then yes , that's using the full 3080 wattage. This seems cool for a slim / lightweight laptop tho

It is quite low wattage for a 3080, lots of 3070 laptops will outperform this. You're giving up performance for a slim form factor.

1st (Top Spot): Legion 7 - superb screen, 16:10, 165W 3080, great built quality, numeric keyboard, heavier, only 16GB RAM
2nd: This - superb screen but 16:9, better looking, only 100W 3080, superb build quality, great keyboard, very light for a gaming laptop, 32GB RAM, no webcam, no numeric keyboard, best battery life of the bunch, Windows 10 PRO
3: MSI GL66 Leopard - garbage screen, 140W 3080, inferior built quality among the three, heavier

Comes down to your usage though. If you want a laptop for content creation along with possibility of gaming, and something you'd carry around, then the white G15 is the one to pick due to the 32GB RAM and light weight. I consider it an 'all in one' esp at this price range.

If you want a gaming beast and something you'd not travel with often, then Legion 7 is the one to pick.

If you're on a budget, can compromise on screen and built quality for a good wattage 3080 then GL66 🐆 would do you fine.

I wouldn't grab this when the 6900HS/6800 combo exists in the 2022 G14 chassis for $200 less

Copy / pasted from a reddit post I made about this exact laptop about 6 months ago.

I've had this exact model for about 5 months. Dropped a WD SN750 in to it and a month ago for secondary storage (super easy install).


The biggest pro's are size, thermals/noise under full load (Control, BLOPS, Cyberpunk, 2042 Beta), and that trackpad. Seriously, the trackpad is probably the biggest selling point. I use a lot of MacBooks and they've always been the bar. This one is mad decent for a Windows system,


That + the size has led to it replacing a 13" MBP as my go to for farking around on the couch with stuff on the tv in the background while doing laundry system. After using an MSI GE63 for the 1st part is the pandemic, this thing is a true upgrade and battery life is 9+ hours when browsing / streaming.


Cons are, power... this laptop is super light, had a great battery life and a pretty legit screen. You gotta sacrifice somewhere and that's the main spot.


I've farked around with some of the higher clocked bioses and while it does add some performance, losing the quiet, cool normal isn't worth it IMO. That said, it's a ~2k laptop; we should be doing better by now, I agree.


I got tired of queuing up for 3xxx series cards. If you want to run things at a more than acceptable framerate (not maxing the panel at native res on new titles) and have other, non-docked uses there's way more gaudy and/or likely better options. For the size, trackpad and usability, this is pretty damn top tier and almost a year later, I still enjoy it whenever I open the lid and fire a game up.

I dunno, it's late, those are some thoughts. Thank you for attending my unsolicited AMA.
