Lenovo Legion and Slim Laptops?

[paulyron]

I notice most lenovo legion laptop or the slim seem to either have the smaller 60wh battery or the 71wh battery.   I believe some have the 80wh battery. Now my question is no matter which lenovo legion you buy, you can always but the 80wh battery and replace whatever current battery you have?  Is the laptop easy to open and install the battery?  Also are there batteries bigger than 80wh?

 

 

Also how many hours can you get on the battery on these lenovo legion laptops?  I do not game at all.  I would only play online poker and need a fast laptop and maybe a fast graphic card... unsure about the graphic card.  But if you are using the laptop to web browse or youtube, do you need to turn off the gpu?  So it would then use the integrated graphic card right? But what is the name of the integrated graphic card?  How many hours of battery can you get on it?  Where do you even buy the 80wh battery?

 

 

Also if you are not going to play any games, I would not... only to play online poker, would you say do not get a lenovo legion?  I am considering a dell xps 15 and it cost a lot but I have an old dell xps 15 9550 which I still like but need it faster.  Lenovo legion all seem to cost less but these laptops are big and battery is not good?  I would be using it plugged in 2 external monitors almost always though.  But if you are not gaming, do not get a lenovo legion? A nyone here not game at all and use the laptop as their main computer for everything they do?  Seem like a legion would strange if you using it strictly for business?  But if for entertainment its fine or not?

 

 

I have seen a lenovo legion 5 and the build of it seem a bit heavier than most laptops.  But it isn't that bulky.  I also seen a lenovo slim 7i and even though it looked slim, it feels a bit strange.  I also seen a few LG grams and those seem very thin and light.

 

 

But if you want a gaming laptop, lenovo is the best right?  But if not for gaming, do not get a lenovo legion or slim?

No, you'd have to have a battery that fits within the space provided. Laptops in general can have up to 99whr batteries.

 

If you're not gaming why do you even need a laptop with a dGPU? IMO you're looking at entirely the wrong class of laptops for your needs.

Look more into things like the LG Gram, or Dell's Inspiron series. They seem more suited to what you're doing.

Meh, I like a dGPU for remoting in and out. Chrome remote desktop stutters when I remote into my 2x4K main rig with my iGPU laptop, but it's fine with my one that has a 960. Additionally I like the option to use moonlight to remote into it with basically bare metal performance.
There are reasons.

Right, but those are incredibly niche use cases. None of which he listed.

Would be using it for online poker as my old dell xps can't handle it.

Okay.

 

I took a look at some lenovo slim laptop recently that are 16' and they look big.  The slim one also look big but not thin.

 

Would you say do not buy a lenovo legion slim or legion or legion pro if you are not planning to play games?  I will play online poker on it though.
