The video is a thorough comparison of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and Pro 7i laptops, focusing on various aspects such as build quality, design, ports, performance, and user experience. The Pro 7i features a fully aluminum build, making it sturdier and more refined than the Pro 5i, which combines aluminum with plastic components. Both laptops offer similar keyboard layouts, trackpad sizes, and almost identical screens, with minor differences in brightness and weight.
Ports and connectivity options are identical on both models, including USB type A and C, HDMI, network ports, and manual webcam cutoff switches. However, the Pro 7i excels in ventilation aesthetics and offers higher specifications, including more RAM (32GB vs. 16GB), a better processor (i9-13900HX vs. i7-13700H), and a stronger GPU (RTX 4070 vs. RTX 4060). These factors contribute to its superior performance in various benchmarks like Geekbench 6, Cinebench R23, and Adobe Premiere Pro, particularly in multitasking and complex workloads.
Despite the Pro 7i's edge in performance, the differences in export times and performance in applications like DaVinci Resolve are minimal. This suggests that while the Pro 7i offers premium build quality and slightly better performance, the Pro 5i remains a strong contender. Ultimately, the choice between the two will likely depend on personal preference and specific needs. The video provides a balanced view and links for further information and purchasing options.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i and Pro 5i laptops, focusing on their build quality and design differences. The Pro 7i features an aluminum top cover, bottom cover, keyboard deck, and side panels, which the speaker prefers over the Pro 5i’s aluminum top cover combined with plastic components. The importance of a fully aluminum build is highlighted due to its sturdiness and refined feel.
Both laptops are examined side-by-side, revealing similarities in their form and function. They share the same trackpad size, keyboard layout with a numpad on the right, and RGB backlit keyboards. The keyboards are noted to be quieter and softer than previous models, while the trackpads are described as slightly clicky but not as quiet as those from Asus’s x13 or x16 models.
The screens of both laptops are almost identical, with the Pro 7i being marginally brighter. The weight and thickness of the two models are nearly the same, indicating minimal differences in portability.

In this segment, the video compares two laptop models, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and Pro 7i, focusing on their ports, ventilation, specs, battery life, webcams, and performance. Both models have identical port configurations, featuring USB type A and C, HDMI, network ports, and a manual webcam cutoff switch. The Pro 7i has better ventilation aesthetics and is equipped with superior specs, such as more RAM (32GB vs. 16GB), a higher-end processor (i9-13900HX vs. i7-13700H), and a stronger GPU (RTX 4070 vs. RTX 4060). Despite both having similar customizability options, the Pro 7i offers slightly better battery life due to a slightly larger battery. Performance benchmarks revealed that the Pro 7i outperforms the Pro 5i significantly in both single-core and multi-core Geekbench 6 scores.

In this part of the video, the presenter compares the performance of the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and Pro 7i laptops using various benchmarks. The Pro 7i shows superior multitasking capabilities with higher multi-core performance in Cinebench R23. In Photoshop, the Pro 7i scores 1229 compared to the Pro 5i’s 1095, hinting that RAM upgrades in the Pro 5i could level the playing field. Similarly, slight differences are noted in After Effects and other software benchmarks such as Blender, Autodesk Maya, and SolidWorks. Notably, the Pro 7i performs better in Premiere Pro playback with almost negligible dropped frames for 6K footage and faster export times. The presenter suggests that while the Pro 7i holds an edge in performance, especially for Autodesk users, both laptops perform admirably under most conditions.

In this segment, the speaker compares the export times and performance of two laptops, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i and the Pro 7i. They highlight a 40-second difference in export times for a short video, which could save up to 10 minutes for an hour-long video. For 6K red footage, the difference is even smaller, with the Pro 7i taking 11 minutes and 43 seconds and the Pro 5i taking 12 minutes and 26 seconds. They note that the performance difference, considering one has 32GB of RAM and the other 16GB, is minimal. In DaVinci Resolve, export times are similar, with the Pro 7i slightly faster. The speaker concludes that both laptops are excellent, with the Pro 7i having premium build quality but not significantly outperforming the Pro 5 series. They suggest that the decision will come down to personal preference and provide links for purchasing and further videos.
