Hey guys, I bought a new laptop (Legion 7i 275HX 5090). I have massive rubber banding and microstuttering to the point that I can't bear to play the game. I tried all the smaller fixes (turning off crossplay, ray-tracing, etc.). Wondering if anyone has any idea what the problem could be or how I can fix this. Thank you so much! I've also tried turning down all the graphics and back up and all that. It's been the same.
I've read mixed things about Vantage or LTT. Can someone break it down for me in a decent explanation? I read that RAM usage and background resources are about the same but I gather LTT has alot of options that Vantage and Space have but combined into one app. Please help me choose, my computer gets here TODAY!
What should I do to setup? Read something quickly about Lenovo Toolkit? What should I remove and what should I install? I have a Go1 but have had Mac laptops for the last 15 years so unsure what is good and not anymore! Thanks everyone!
Looking at this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. Is this deal worth getting now, or should I wait until BF/CM? I would love to get it now, but if it's going to go until or around $2500, I can stomach waiting to get it.
Also, any tips or tricks once I buy it? This will be my first Windows laptop since the 2010's. Also, I wanna sell my desktop and run this as my desktop. Any docks that can utilize the full power of the laptop in a desktop mode? Any other accessories that I should be looking at? Thanks guys!
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$3000-$3500
Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes but would prefer new.
How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Want good build quality and performance. Battery life is a bonus but not necessary. From factor, has to be portable but don’t mind heavier or bulkier. Currently carry a 2019 16” MacBook Pro for reference.
How important is weight and thinness to you?
Not that important
Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
16” for the performance and portability. Open to 18” but it would be a hard sell unless the performance difference is really apparent.
Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I do some 3D imaging and CBCT work (I’m a periodontist, which is a gum and bone specialist so I need to be able to comfortably run dental implant and surgical software). Implant Studio, ExoCAD, CoDiagnostix
If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Would love to play newer single player story driven games (Expeditikn 33, Pragmata, etc.). Don’t competitively game but I like all games. Currently been playing WoW TBC Anniversary in my spare time. I play on Mac right now so only WoW and it’s pretty much whatever the stock settings are turned down one notch.
Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I would love a good keyboard and screen along with good build quality.
Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I live near a Lenovo Headquarters, could potentially go in to find a local refurb deal. And I’m not in a huge rush to buy now, I could but if it’s better to wait until Black Friday to get the better deals then I’m not against it. But I also don’t want to wait 6 months to get an extra $50 off. I’d love this laptop to last 6-7 years. I don’t mind tinkering and upgrading on my own. Last non-Apple laptop I owned was in 2006. Thank for your help!
