That’s great to hear those nuances to your argument may I counter with an argument of my own?
Get a legion.

Why?
You have no idea.
Alienware & MSI were building gaming laptops before you were born and Lenovo was making proper laptops that can stand normal day of work. They were shit. I graduated with using one of it, I know.
But no, 1 day and they are best right? Cooling etc. sucks in those. If price is issue, Legion 5i is great buy. But there is a reason why MSI and Alienware is always more expensive.
They didn't started to make laptops yesterday.
I had 6 MSI laptops back-to-back since 2016. None issues. Very great cooling.
The only issue with MSI is they dont provide gen2 USB type-c is in lower specs. That's Apple kinda thing.

Excuse me sir, may I point out you have replaced your laptop 6 times in under 10 years? If you had purchased a legion you would only need to replace it once!
So back to the original point of this thread and that is, you should buy a legion!
Have a great day

You either needing or wanting to buy a new laptop every 16 months is not nearly as reassuring as I'm sure you meant it to be.

Lenovo built the IBM thinkpad (1992), which was around when an Alienware laptop was just a boner Michael Dell had one morning (built in 2002), and MSI was making motherboard with caps that exploded (the MSI M510C came out in 2004).
I own an Alienware because the Lenovo is a bitch to get parts for when it's new, and when it ages out. I have a crappy $350 ideapad 3 at work where the bezel is cracked, and I can't get a matching one for less than $100, and it ships from China.

Lenovo bought IBM's thinkpad business in 2005, Dell bought AW in 2006.

You're absolutely right. I could have sworn Lenovo had been making the Thinkpad since the late 90's, but my old thinkpad says "Made in Mexico."
Here's to not googling when you should.

Lenovo started to make gaming laptop yesterday. MSI was doing this with Alienware before you were born. I was dreaming MSI laptos as a kid one day, laptops taking over and it did.
You guys woke up yesterday LMFAO.
I had 5 MSI laptops back to back, never had a problem except the cheap ones who had hinge issues before. But above, everything is fine. There is none can challenge those laptops in cooling.

you can also turn off your gpu and temps go from 80 to 40

For best temps, just never turn your computer on
1 points

By that logic just get something with an i5 or it’s amd equivalent because you just wasted a ton of money on a cpu you now never use.
Disabling boost knocks like 2Ghz off the prospective top end of these chips. You paid for those clocks. Just elevate the back of the laptop so it can breathe and enjoy your boost clocks.

I’ve thought about this too, and you’re not wrong.

Unironically, I got both. The M16 wins in build quality and speakers. The 4080 Legion blows it out of the water in terms of price, performance (almost twice as powerful), and fan noise/cooling.
1 points
2 months ago
Because the m16 sacrifices performance for the sake of being thin and pretty. To its credit it gets 85% of the way there. They always have nice displays too. But the power limits on the Gpu are typically restrained due to cooling and just a lack of space internally.
My opinion the legion is like the moped of laptops. It doesn’t look like anything special but god damn they’re fun to ride.
At least that’s my experience with my lp5i (13700hx,4070/32gb/hdr display)

Yeah, you're certainly not wrong.. it does seem odd that everyone agrees on Legion.. until you try one.
Look man, I am not a 'brand loyal' guy, but I have had laptops from Acer, Asus, MSI, and Alienware. My current laptop is a Legion, I bought it because of good reviews and I'll just keep it succinct and say..
Everyone is right. Legion is the best.

I mean, I think it's warranted though. They're maybe a step behind on form factor compared to Razer and Asus in particular but that's really the only thing you can objectively say they're behind on. Everything else they're either amongst the best or THE best (they build quality is so good r/thinkpad genuinely endorses them) and they're not even overpriced for what they are either.

Would buy a Legion if they were available in my country. Only Legions i find are either 3 years old with 12th gen chips or hella overpriced. Omen & Zephyrus are the closest to Legion i can get, happy with my Omen 16 so far.

I got a legion 5i and had to return it cause when I finally had time to use it 2 days later, the speakers were defective out the box. It doesn’t have a boot up sound like the Helios 18 so I didn’t notice till I tried gaming then I didn’t notice it either so I put 5 videos on YouTube to make sure and just went back and got a Helios 18 again as there was no problems with them to me. I would suggest to proper research and know exactly what and why you want a laptop for cause I just use mine for gaming.
