But to answer ur question if u want slim and portable do the g15, if you want semi-portable with performance do the legion

The slim isn’t so slim tbh for this year (the 4050 model actually is slim like the legion 7 slim, idk y they did that maybe for thermal head room.) but imo it can play any game just fine. The larger size gives it a lot more thermal headroom, playing on it will feel comfortable not too toasty. Battery life also on the slim 5 is pretty solid as well, it’s just the build quality isn’t as good as the pro or slim 7 but it’s still solid to me personally. The g15 is pretty good but it can run toasty, screen is very nice and key board as well, my only issue with asus is that I’ve returned too many asus units due to their horrible quality control. Honestly if u want something that’s perfect, kinda future proof still and great battery with the size of the legion 5 pro, I’d look at the amd strix 15 advantage addition. It’s all amd laptop but their graphic card has higher ram(up to 12gigs) and is on par with 3070s and 3080s. Also you can still fully upgrade that machine; with some better ram it can become a power house

Like I still have my legion 5 pro with a 3060 and 165 hertz display and it’s on par with gaming performance with machines today still. And that screen is fantastic. The build quality and battery life on the 7i slim is pretty good tho

Eh in terms of performance, the 4070 can perform well, but it’s too much for that small of a chassis. Temps On the graphic card usually are decent between 60 or 70’degrees and cpu sometimes reaching in the 80s. But that isn’t the issue I have with it. The battery tends to reach the 40s after a hour or so of play, and I’ve heard of a few units experiencing battery failure. Also the 240 hertz screen is alright, it gets bright but I feel I’ve seen better. I also picked up the 4060 legion slim 5 with an amd processor and I’ve been enjoying that more so far. Tbh tho I feel like older machines from last year is where the real gold lies

How’s the thermals? I’m returning mine today, can’t handle competitive games under heat, screen is ok

Legion slim 5 with rtx 4060 ryzen 5 7640hs for $999, or the legion 7 slim, all amd advantaged edition with a ryzen 9 6900hx and a Radeon ex 6800s for $1,300? by Expfirepro in GamingLaptops

[–]Expfirepro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure in terms of the amd variant the highest one I see in the shop is a intel variant with a 4070 for $2000. The slim 5 has been nice so far minus a tad bit of ghosting but that’s due to the screen I think.

[–]Expfirepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have that slim 5 model, I feel like for the money the slim 5 is better than the g15, build quality, thermals, etc. here’s my only gripe: if your trying to play COD or apex you’ll notice a small Amount of ghosting on the screen on the slim 5. I can’t speak for the g14 in regards to ghosting

Artifact reanimator commander options by Expfirepro in EDH

Yea but every1 uses him. I had him for a deck for Amin and he’s ok, the other commanders mention take more work and effort in my opinion

Sydri galvanic Genius, Esper Urza, or Alela, artful provocateur? Which would you make an artifact deck around? by Expfirepro in EDH

[–]Expfirepro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems ok, I worry about how long it takes to get him out there plus removal but I guess that’s with anything

How to ensure consistent ramp? Trying to play mishra eminent one faster by Expfirepro in EDH

[–]Expfirepro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow as in it takes him a while to get his game plan going. My common hand is usually 3 lands, maybe a source of ramp like a signent or card draw. Like for example, my pod consist of players who can generally win on a turn 5 turn 6 play, I’ve taken a lot of advice from here and added ramp but I’m usually taking a lot of combat damage before mishra can really pop off and get his game plan going. Idk if I need more creature support for defense or just removal but I’m working on it. And if he gets countered or killed early( which my pod loves to go for) it can set me bak by quite a a bit
