Potentially the cheapest point of entry for Zen 4 Phoenix chips + Nvidia 4060.

Sadly, no Thunderbolt/USB4 on these. Otherwise, specs are good with a pretty decent screen (aside from brightness being only 300 nits compared to 500 for the Legion 5 Pro):

  This CPU is mighty powerful, PassMark 31312.

    I mean, it's ok considering the PassMark goes up to 126,045 (for context).

    Yep, info dropped along with all the info on the AMD Zen 4 Phoenix chips - assume they were holding up for that. Might explain why this laptop has seemingly 0 publicity so far (can't find a single review, and the two videos on YouTube for the Intel equivalent are just infomercials with no substantive content).

      4060 2400 USD

      For $2400 you can almost get a M1 max with 64GB and 2TB.

      for this, and to be told to upgrade your own damn storage. i can hold off i reckon.

  I went with the Slim 7i.

  More money for a lighter package, all aluminium, 99whr battery and better screen.

    I ordered with 5-6 weeks expected but it was shipped today

    Anyone got theirs yet?

    This is for a family member for CAD work but it looks better than my $1600 Legion 5i 2060 which has been great

      raisinberry777 on 20/06/2023 - 12:30

      I got mine yesterday (ordered 10/6).

      Any questions?

      • 

        s3n on 20/06/2023 - 12:37

        Getting mine today hopefully

        How's it so far? Battery life? Performance? Weight?

        Have to say I was tempted by some of the Yoga deals but those don't have a good enough video card for 3d so have to lug more weight

          @s3n: I've had it chained to a charger so far so I don't have anything to add on battery life. Performance I'm happy with - not that I've got much to compare on but it's quite a significant upgrade on my previous AMD 4700U laptop for video encoding (plus having the Nvidia hardware encoding capabilities is a big plus).

          Weight, it's reasonably chunky compared to a small business laptop but it's not wildly heavy. Definitely consider getting a GAN USB-C charger if you're taking a charger with you because you'll save a huge amount of weight compared to the regular power brick.

          Otherwise - so far, so good. While the screen doesn't have incredibly high brightness I did think it was quite pleasant, and high refresh rate is nice too after many years on 60Hz screens.
