Here is my review of the newly released Lenovo Legion Pro 5i with an Intel Core i9 13900HX and Nvidia RTX 4070. I try to cover areas and topics not covered in other reviews. My 2021 legion is still holding up great! It is a real workhorse and is solidly built. I expect the same from this new model. It is a bit disappointing that it lacks a thunderbolt port so no eGPU. I'll be testing advanced optimus, Reternal, Destiny 2, Jedi Survivor (note: I was capturing on the same machine so expect a bit better performance than shown), and 100w Power Delivery charger.
I hope you find this video informative.

NOTE: This is the second time I'm positing this video. The first version was up for about 24hrs before I pulled it. It had issues because the laptop was stuck in some weird low power mode that invalidated all my benchmarks. It is confirmed fixed now with MUCH better results.
