Just a DP: ordered T14s AMD Built Your Own on 27Nov and received it today 19Dec, so ~3weeks instead of 6-8weeks. Setting it up now and installing Office and gosh, it is indeed hot! Hmm, hopefully its a right choice after all. Was in that T14 vs T14s dilemma for a while but decided to give it the S a shot. Fingers crossed

Wow thats fast

Cool. I received a package yesterday but it was a wrong order on 7 Dec - supposed to have been cancelled but left due to an admin lapse.

Lucky I read the order number before I opened the package - my actual order (ordered on 11 Dec) is already in Shenzhen, on its way to Singapore.

Keep us updated on the status! I'm worried about the thermals too.

Better let them know and return the laptop, else they will charge u for the order you cancelled.

new APU/GPU drivers out kym?

Thanks. Already done. They have acknowledged and given me instructions for their collection.

Thankfully I had the sense to cross check the order number before breaking the seal, or else it would be a 25% restocking fee.

whats the avg wait time for legion 5? Really need to wait 8wks?

no idea, but mine I've ordered Dec 9 also (estimated 8 weeks), tonight lenovo already shipped it from Hefei CN.
Lenovo tracking it to be delivered Dec 21, UPS tracking estimated delivery is Dec 23.

So i think safest 4 weeks max

Interesting. Hefei. My 2 orders came from HK.

Does Lenovo ship from multiple factories in different locations?

Got my T14 today 19 dec, ordered on 17 dec night

Adding all these, still don't accept that it doing less than 2 hours.
A thin & light laptop with smaller battery can last much longer.

Did you forget that Legion is using H processor? you cannot compare battery life between a H processor with a U processor.

 

[ozy615]

Well... firstly traditionally gaming laptops are never meant to have long battery life. They are engineered for speed and power.

thin&light laptops are designed and engineered differently for power efficiency and battery endurance.

So far Lenovo Legion 5 and Lenovo Ideapad gaming are the only two laptops in the market right now which can claim to be “Thin & light” gaming laptops.

Like i mentioned video conferencing is rather taxing on a laptop, any laptop actually. my thinkpad T495s can only last a max of 1.5hrs of Zoom (max brightness)
In fact it just happened yesterday. I unplugged my t495s (100% battery) go to another quieter room to do my zoom call. I totally forgotten to close other active apps running in thr background and my screen was at max brightness. Around 1.5hrs into the zoom meeting, a low batt warning popped up ar 10%. I had to rush to get my charger

But If i dont do video conferencing with my Thinkpad T495s, and just use it for emails, word processing etc, and set max brightness... nowadays it can last like 7hours.
Instead of 9hrs 1 year ago.

As for the Legion 5 AMD laptop, office use emails, word processing can give around 8hours for the 80whr version, on Quiet mode. mine is the 60whr version and it is able to last me a good 6hrs

But when it comes to video conferencing, the battery will take a big hit

i may wanna suggest to switch to Quiet mode if you are using your Legion 5 laptop for work emails and video conferencing, so that the system will keep it at low power consumption

Noted with tks

 

[ozy615]

ur hybrid mode is probably off and the discrete gpu is doing all the work to drive the display. turn on hybrid in vantage to use igpu

Will try next time

Finally bite the bullet and purchased Legion 5 using HZCNSALE with all specs maxed out.

How much was the damage? I was very tempted but got turned off by the 2 months waiting time.

Or pay more to buy from Atrix lazada. Its a trade off

Actually anyone opt for just the 1year warranty instead of the +$100 for 2 year warranty ?
Max out all spec for legion 5 and the default 1 year warranty at 1.5k nett

Actually, I add on warranty to total 48months.
Bought with 24 months.
And add on 24 months online with extended warranty promo code of 35% discount. About $200 plus. So I paid in all about 1700 to 1800 for Legion 5 with max spec , except my HDD is 2 x 512 ssd and normal keyboard.
