- abracadaniel 2y agoAt least wait until reviews after the August microcode patch. No telling if it actually fixes the problem, or what the performance impact is. On the other hand I know someone with a Ryzen Legion Pro laptop that seems pretty solid.
- sas369 2y agoIm not sure If i want to spend good money on a laptop that would need a bios update to under volt the cpu right out of the box. TBH I'm not even sure if the mobile processors have the same issues as the desktop K series SKU's, but its not worth the long term anxiety i guess.
- nottorp 2y agoHah funny, I almost hit order on an Intel Legion 7 too. The final decision for a combination of this and unrelated reasons was to wait 6 months and see. But if you need a laptop now, Lenovo has Ryzen options too.
- sas369 2y agoUnfortunately the Ryzen options are pretty limited where I live. The 7945HX options are either out of stock or out of my budget. So Im forced to use choose between a 7745HS or a 8845HS.
- nottorp 2y agoSame here. Decided to wait a couple months. But fortunately I can afford to wait. The Ryzens would have been within budget but were simply not available locally in the Legion 7 form.
