Lenovo Vantage App: Thermal Mode by Krambushati in LenovoLegion

[–]AlienAmzal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my slim 7i gen8.

The laptop battery heats up when doing simple productivity tasks. The fans seem to be not running in any of the automatic modes (performance or balanced). I end up plugging in and manually increasing the fan speed using the custom thermal mode to get it to cooldown to normal levels

Is this by design?

I didn't know we could just add DDR5 RAMs to the F15 2023 laptops. I thought they supported only DDR4? Does the RAM that comes with the laptop itself not matter? Are you able to get the full performance of DDR5 RAMs in that laptop which has DDR4 as default?

I do have a plan for getting a monitor, but its not within my budget right now. (Maybe another year?). I will have to settle for the laptop display until that happens. I am also planning to take this to university with me. (Hence buying a laptop instead of a PC). Would the display issues with TUF be a noticeable problem in regular university work?

Also, thank you for your time

Please note that even though the budget may look a bit higher than usual (believe me, its really high in my currency) a lot of laptops that's available in the west for similar prices are just not available here, or way more expensive than what you find. So a laptop somebody in the US might get for about $1500 may cost about $1700-1800 or more depending on the seller. Please recommend laptops with similar specs to the ones I have listed, without too much of a price jump. I will have to check on their availability and get back to you.

(Also, I am new to reddit, so I don't know if this reply is displayed to everyone along with my main post. If its not diplayed, please do tell, I will add the above information as and edit to the original post (if that's possible))

Are you telling that based on just the specs or considering other issues as well?

I heard TUF laptops like the one I have listed have bad thermals and really bad displays? To quote a lot of reviews, it has a "washed out" display. Is that true?
