AMD Ryzen 4600H vs Intel 10th Gen i7 10750H | Lenovo Legion 5 VS Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming By Ahnestly

What's up everybody, my name is Dan and welcome to honestly today we're viewing two different laptops from Lenovo, both under the thousand dollar mark. This one here is the legion 5 15 inches, and this over here is the IdeaPad gaming i3 and what's really cool about this review is that most of the specs are near identical. What's different, though, is that the legion is running an AMD CPU, the 4600h and the IdeaPad gaming is running the equivalent intel processor, the i7 10750h, and so not only are we going to see which one is the superior machine, but I also want to know which one is the superior processor. Let's get honest alright, so I messed up here. I swore the IdeaPad gaming i3 had an NVIDIA 1650 ti, but it does not. It just has a regular 1650, whereas the legion has the NVIDIA 1650 ti.

So keep that in mind when it comes to benchmarks, and honestly it won't matter, because one of these laptops is just going to wipe the other one off the face of the earth, and then some of you guys might be thinking well, doesn't Lenovo make a legion intel version, and you're right they do. But the problem is that the intel version has a much higher graphics card, and it starts at a higher price point of fifteen hundred dollars, whereas this one again is under a thousand. So I figured that these two laptops would be a little better of a match up, starting with build quality, the legion five it is blew me away like a freaking away. It is that good. I couldn't believe- and I still can't believe this thing costs under a thousand dollars, because I can probably and confidently say this thing- has better build quality than probably like 80 to 90 of the laptops out there windows laptops out there today, even though it's all plastic and not metal like some of those unibody machines that cost crazy amount of money, I would say it would, it can give it a run for its money, even with plastic.

First, it has this nice matte finish that doesn't pick up fingerprints too crazy and then on the inside. It uses that it has like a nice soft touch for your hands and again because of that finish, it doesn't pick up fingerprints and sweat very easily at all. You can open the lid with one thumb, which is again a sign of premiums. The screen barely has any shake the keyboard. Oh, it's a work of art.

I mean the travel is perfect when you bottom it out, it does like a nice thud as opposed to click clack, there's no key shake even the trackpad. The trackpad is small, and I think it's plastic, but it responds great to all of my maneuvers and touches and feels the one thing that I would give to this laptop is the keyboard jumped, so the jumped is like a mini jumped, and it's right next to the main keyboard, and so I found myself hitting like different keys on that side way too often, and I tried using the jumped, but because of the shrunken keys, it was a little hard to use as well. I wish they had just done without the jumped. Let me know in the comments below. If that's something you want, maybe you guys desperately need the jumped, but for me personally, I think I could have done without the jumped.

Now you compare that with the IdeaPad gaming i3, and it's a totally different story. So, first, this has a classic really like kind of glossy plastic here that picks up all the fingerprints. There is no special finish inside, so you can see all of your fingerprints and all the sweat marks when you type on the keyboard. The thing doesn't open with one thumb it. The screen has a lot of shakes a lot of flex, the trackpad and the keyboard are identical, except for on the idea pad.

The letters are blue and then the LED is blue, whereas the legion, it's white and white, so definitely a little more of a gamer aesthetic, but the keyboard is virtually the same. The only thing is the materials used on the bottom of the keyboard again are cheaper on the IdeaPad gaming 3. So because of that you, when you bottom out, you hear a click clack versus a nice professional, pleasant, sounding thud of the legion. So this thing just feels like a sub a thousand dollar machine. I mean to be fair, it's sub a thousand dollars, and this is what I expected this one just far above and beyond exceeded my expectations.

If I can put into perspective, I have a racer blade 15, which again is like cr?me de la cr?me for build quality of Windows machines. I would be 100 happy switching to this. If it was about build quality. I really would, I think it's just that good. The legion isn't what you'd call a thin and light gaming laptop? It's a little thicker a little bigger than most thin and light gaming 15-inch laptops out there, but one unique feature about it is that it's got a big booty, and I've got a love hate relationship with the big booty things I love about.

It is that I believe it contributes heavily to the amazing thermals on this machine which we'll get to later, and the second thing I love about it is: it allows for a much cleaner setup because all the ports most of the ports have been pushed to behind the laptop, and I've always loved this aesthetic, where the chargers and behind the laptop, where all your USB cables can go behind the laptop. There is one USB on each side of this laptop again, allowing for things like quick access and ease of access, but for all the stuff that might be more permanent. If you put it down on your desktop having everything behind it allows for a much cleaner look, the reasons I don't love. It is because again it adds extra bulk. The big booty does add a little extra length, or I don't know what is this width to the machine and, secondly, I'm not a huge fan of aesthetic gamer aesthetics, and I don't think it's not gamer whatsoever.

It's a matte black. It's not colorful, there's no RGB, but when you open it up, it does look spaces hippy, so it kind of has this vibe of Amerinds to it. So you won't be able to hide in like a business meeting or something with this laptop. Unfortunately, those are the only things I don't love about it. Let me know what you guys think about the big booty.

Do you love it? You hate it. You have to have big booty um. The idea pad gaming over here again is not a thin and light gaming machine. It's pretty bulky and pretty big, but because it doesn't have a big booty, it's smaller than the legion for sure, but in terms of thickness, it's almost identical. The other thing to note about this is that it's got some like kind of sharper edges here, which add a nice elegant.

Look but it's not something that I'm a huge fan of. I would much rather prefer much clean, 90 degree angles everywhere, but that's my preference in terms of ports. The legion beats out the IdeaPad gaming with one USB, a 3.1 port on the right side, as well as another usb8 3.1 on the left, along with a microphone headphone, combo jack and then in the rear of the machine on the booty. There's a proprietary charging port one USB a 3.1, an USB 3.1, a HDMI 2.0 slot and an Ethernet port as well as a Kensington lock. The IdeaPad gaming has one USB a 3.1 on the right side and the rest are on the left, which include the proprietary charging port, an Ethernet, cable port, HDMI 2.0, another USB 3.1, an USB c 3.1 and a headphone microphone combo jack. Both of these screens are not great when it comes to brightness maxing out at only 250 nits, and that's pretty terrible.

Essentially what it means is even at max brightness. You won't be able to use these machines under bright light and especially not under the bright sun. The redeeming factor here is that both of them have a high refresh rate panel of 120 hertz and when it comes to color accuracy now, while these scores aren't great again, keep in mind that this is a budget laptop and instead of a great screen, what you're getting are more cores on your CPU, as well as a pretty decent GPU. As for the speakers on these laptops, here's what they sound like at fifty and one hundred percent volume. I always get pack up- ask for more.

I'm going to keep playing pain strength. Still they can't encore. I always get pack up ask for more. I'm going to keep playing pain strength. Something important to note is that the IdeaPad gaming that I received has significant backlight bleed in the top right corner, and I can't tell if that's something common with these machines or if it's just a one-off incident, but I thought you guys should be aware.

Okay, now to the interesting stuff, how does AMD's dozen 4600h compare with the counterpart intel's counterpart, the i7 10750h, and this is where it gets really, really interesting, not in terms of performance, because when it comes to performance it performs exactly as you'd expect. The intel has higher boost clock on single core processes versus multi-core and so for single core processes. The intel outscores, the AMD Ryzen 4 600h. However, when it comes to multi-thread the boost clock on the AMD 4600h is higher than the 10750h and so for multi-core processes, multi-core things and benchmarks. The legion kicks the intel's butt, but here is where the fascinating part is, and it's that, when it comes to thermals the 4600 and h kicks the intel's butt all day long.

I don't know how to put it. It's just it's ridiculous, so peak temperature on the Lenovo IdeaPad gaming with the intel processor was 96 degrees Celsius, whereas the peak temperatures I found on the legion was about 78 degrees Celsius, and that difference is monstrous. I mean that is crazy. Now, some of you guys might be thinking. Well, it's because of the big booty.

It's got. You know this custom solution here yeah. I understand that, and you should really take that into consideration. But something to also consider is that the IdeaPad gaming- it's not a thin and like gaming machine, it's got some bulk on it right. So it's not like heat, can't dissipate so just something to keep in mind um when it comes to the GPU again, the 1650 is a weaker GPU than the 1650 ti, and yet the peak GPU temperature on the IdeaPad gaming with the intel processor was 76 degrees Celsius, whereas on the legion with the AMD processor, it was only 61 degrees Celsius and again that might have to do with the thermal solution.

But I really think it has more to do with the fact that the CPU gets so much hotter, causing everything else to get hot within this laptop. Now all that being said, what does it mean in layman's speak? It basically means that you're going to get better overall performance from the AMD laptop, because your boost clock is never going to fluctuate, and when I was playing games, when I was doing these things, I never saw the clock drop anywhere under 4000, because the thermal management is just so good. It also means that when it comes to longevity in theory, the AMD laptop is going to last you longer because more heat equals more bad, and so the Lenovo legion should theoretically last you longer, and the most practical thing for me personally is that when it comes to casual use, meaning that the power plug is out, and I'm just using it on the couch, I have noticed that the legion first, the fans don't spin up nearly as much because again, better thermal management, whereas on the intel version, I found it just kind of spinning up getting randomly warm. I did not experience that at all. So when it comes to casual use, I feel like you're, just going to enjoy the AMD version a little better for overall heat on your legs for fan, noise levels and all of that jazz.

I feel like it's just a better machine for that kind of use. So when it comes to other gaming benchmarks, though here's what they look like and again keep in mind that the amd legion laptop, does have a 1650 ti, whereas the IdeaPad gaming only has a 1650. So final thoughts, which one should you pick, is not even a question uh. I don't even know why Lenovo made this machine. It makes zero sense to me and nobody should buy this, especially when you can buy a legion for a similar price point um.

So yeah, that's not even a question. I do think, though. Something to consider is that for your next machine, should you get an intel, a machine with an intel CPU or an AMD CPU, and based on these results, I wow I mean I heard AMD was good. I heard their mobile CPUs were good, but holy crap. I mean this is just so good, and I get why people are raving about it, and should you decide to pick up the legion first, I think again.

This is a great machine, but secondly, if you're planning on getting something else, consider and maybe search to see if it does have an AMD option or maybe wait out because again AMD here. It just blew my mind and I think on any machine you guys want to pick up. It might be worth waiting to see if AMD decides to slip a CPU in there all right, everybody, that's gonna! Do it for this one, as always guys, if you like this video, give it a thumbs up like share, do what you got to do until next time everybody stays safe and, as always, stay honest.
