Quote from: NikoB on July 04, 2023, 15:02:48I don't believe that the laptop is capable of only 28dB noise in the maximum performance profile

If you check all the Legions tested by Allen Ngo, they are all apparently very quiet in that particular test. The Legions tested by everyone else are far noisier for the same test.

Hi, can somebody help me? I just bought the same laptop, played Witcher 3, and my CPU temperature was around 80-90C, sometimes even coming to 95/100 lol..also the clock was working at almost 5ghz, and it was running on 40-60W. Compared to the results here it's totally different - here you have the CPU clock running usually at ~2GHz with ~19W and around 64C. Both are in Vantage Performance mode.

Even in idle my CPU has random 1-2sec spikes from 55C to 90C and then drops back to mid 50.

Is it faulty, or maybe I need to configure something? Seems like in this test he disabled CPU turbo boost or smth?

Quote from: NikoB on July 04, 2023, 15:02:48I don't believe that the laptop is capable of only 28dB noise in the maximum performance profile, because. with a 90W+ consumption in its case, this is IMPOSSIBLE, especially with a hot Intel, and not the Zen4 Phoenix 7940HS, which produces exactly the same performance at 35-40W. This is an obvious hoax.

QuoteGaming on Performance mode would induce a steady fan noise of 54.4 dB(A) which is similar to the Alienware x16 R1 but louder than on the Blade 16. Dropping to Balanced mode trades away some performance as mentioned above for a noticeably quieter fan noise of 48.9 dB(A).

Hello troll. You, as usual, do not notice the background of my commentary on the case - in the "average" load, the laptop consumes 90W, according to the review, and this happens in the "maximum performance" profile, which clearly shows the author's forgery with the noise level in this mode, and it indicates less than 28dB, while no model with a similar weight is capable of this, as well as heavier options.

The ability to think - this applies only to Homo Sapiens, but alas, the majority of the population, like the representative above, has not yet gone beyond the subspecies of Homo Erectus..

I'm well-aware that the magical 28 number is about the equivalent of your own IQ because you either can't articulate your thoughts or you can't read and understand your own words. Here, let me help you:

Now do Ctrl+F on that for "average", lol. Hell, do it for your whole post and you won't find one. You claim the quoted part and even go as far to call it an obvious hoax.
This is what distinguishes Homo Sapiens from Home Erectus in that he understands the context by looking at the text of the review. But troll L... didn't even read the review, that's the problem...

13900H does 2500 at 60W (ZenBook Pro 14 Duo) / 2800 at 90W (ZenBook Pro 14 OLED) / 2900 at 100W (Zephyrus M16).

With Ryzen at 80W and Intel at 90W the performance is the same.

The advantage is only significant with both at up to 55W.
in this category there are no benefits.
-15W for same performance. And much more difference on 35W. =)
This laptop need Zen4 Phoenix or Zen4 7845HX.

Quote from: PHVM_BR on July 04, 2023, 18:18:59Where did the information come from that Ryzen 7940HS with 35-40W delivers performance of i9 13900H with 90W?

This only takes place in a fantastic fantasy world.
7940HS have 2600 points on 45W.

This i9 with 90W delivers performance very close to the maximum performance of this Ryzen.

This laptop supports Advanced Optimus. There is no need to set to dGPU mode which will then affect the battery life whether or not there is a need for the dGPU to run.

Advanced Optimus will switch between dGPU when needed and iGPU, allowing for better battery life when dGPU is not running.

This is an obvious hoax. If there was a 7940HS here, I would believe in the results.

Again, I draw your attention to the fact that the temperature on the top of the case under heavy load is close to 50C, which means that this laptop CANNOT be used with the screen lid closed under such a load - the screen panel with a maximum critical temperature of 50C will simply burn out.

Otherwise, the obvious failure of the series is the lack of RJ45, although there are plenty of places in the back and on the side.

Well, soldered 16GB, do not allow you to install 64GB of operational. Although the weight of the model has become 230g more than the 15.6 of the 2021 model.

This model would be interesting with 7940HS+4050, with RJ45 + 2xUSB40 (integrated in 7940HS). And of course, the presence of 2 memory slots, because. AMD 40 series is the first on x86 to support 128GB memory modules, i.e. 256GB in total, plus there is a neural network unit and an advanced video embed

Again, I draw your attention to the shame of Lenovo, the webcam is still fhd, not 2.5k@60fps with autofocus. 5MP has been put into smartphones for a long time, but here it's some kind of shame ...

In the version with Intel, this model is simply not interesting.

Who will be the first to make an adequate model without all these jambs?

Speakers are weak. Reduced bass. Can't be used as a multimedia laptop. Will wait for something that sounds like apple/dell xps/huawei and built on the amd ryzen 7840hs/7940hs + nvidia 4070+.

There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that laptop if you are drawing 30W at idle. Was the discrete Gpu off during the battery test or did you want to check what battery would be like if dgpu is on? Should double check that point and note it in the reviews if that's the case, otherwise you're misinforming potential buyers.

Thanks for the review.

Just want to point out that you might want to recheck the power consumption figures especially the idle power draw.

It seems the dGPU might have been active when you measured it.

There are some GPU modes that can be toggled using their Vantage software. Make sure you're in iGPU-only mode.
