Should you buy the R7000P or the Y7000P from the Saviors series?
Many of you are unsure how to choose.
The R7000P comes with an AMD processor.
The Y7000P, on the other hand, has an Intel Core processor.
The only difference is in the processor.
The rest, like RAM and storage, are the same size.
Both come with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.
The design, weight, and all other aspects are identical.
The only difference is the CPU.
AMD is known for its strong multi-core performance
While Intel is renowned for its superior single-core performance
Which makes it more suitable for productivity tasks
Like modeling
Video editing
And graphic design
These tasks benefit more from strong single-core performance
If you have productivity needs
You should definitely go for Intel
If you don't have a need for high productivity
I usually just binge-watch shows
play some games
write a paper
all sorts of things, right?
normal use is mainly for gaming and such
then you should get the R7000P
because it offers better value for money
saving you a few hundred bucks indirectly
If you have productivity needs
you definitely should go for Intel
as it offers better compatibility with productivity software
Today’s machine is the Legion R7000P
the R9 8945HX 5060 version
it comes with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD
but the boss ordered 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD
so we need to add an extra 16GB of memory
we’ll start by inspecting the machine
Make sure to add the memory after safely exiting the vehicle.
This machine was ordered by Mr. Li from Hubei.
We've prepared a Legion backpack for Mr. Li.
And there's also an ROG fan.
Summer is here, after all.
A cooling gadget.
The ROG fan is pretty good.
It can also be a gift for your girlfriend, right?
The battery is still quite full.
Hope the boss likes it
Let's get straight into the inspection
For those who have bought the same model
You can follow this video to check your own device
This will ensure a safe and smooth process for you
The video is very detailed and thorough
I suggest you Follow and favorite it first
When you're in the bathroom
Take a look at the online purchases when you have time
Make sure to record a video with your phone.
During the unboxing process, you might find that
the item doesn't match the description,
or there are defects in the product,
such as damage to the case or a cracked screen.
If you encounter similar issues,
you can refuse the delivery or return the item.
The video can serve as evidence.
If you don't record a video,
The customer service told you
You must have accidentally broken it, didn't you?
You can't explain it clearly
You need to record a video
Then check both sides of the product
Make sure there are no large dents on this side or that side
No dents, deformations, or damages to the outer packaging
A big hole poked through definitely won't do
It would damage the machine inside
Let's take another look at the labels.
The Office label.
Lenovo's entire Legion series comes with Office pre-installed.
If the machine you receive doesn't have this Office label,
make sure to check the energy efficiency label.
On this side, you'll find the product information, including the model number.
Part number.
SN serial number.
It also includes detailed configuration parameters.
Check the CPU, memory, hard drive, and graphics card.
To avoid a situation where you buy a 9000P, right?
And they send you a 7000P, it’s a good idea to do a quick check.
For example, the standard configuration comes with 16GB and 1TB.
If the boss buys a 32GB and 2TB version,
or a larger configuration,
you should also verify the information inside the computer after turning it on.
It only indicates the standard configuration here.
Make sure all the configurations on the outer box are correct.
Let's take a look at his seal label.
The seal label for the Legion 25 model.
It has been changed to a label that looks like kraft paper.
The middle part is yellow.
With a large, white, prominently placed logo of mine in the center.
And the sides are black.
Unlike the 24 model, which used a plastic sticker.
It has been replaced with a label similar to kraft paper.
As long as it doesn’t look obviously fake at first glance.
Because there are plenty of labels available online,
a quick search for Lenovo or Asus stickers will show you,
there are loads of sellers out there,
so don't use this as a standard to authenticate a new machine.
It shouldn't look obviously fake at first glance,
and there shouldn't be any signs of resealing around the edges of the label.
Now, let's cut it open.
Okay, everything inside the packaging box is now out.
Let's start by checking out its accessories.
User manual
The instruction manual is in a small bag.
Now, let's take a look at its adapter.
Gaming laptops typically come with segmented adapters.
We need to check if the adapter's plug is undamaged and not deformed.
Bent or damaged.
It should look brand new.
Occasional insertion and removal marks are no big deal.
The manufacturer's testing usually leaves a couple of marks after a few insertions and removals.
Then there's a black foam that serves as a protective case.
The adapter is packaged in a plastic bag.
Let's take it out.
The main body of the adapter
is wrapped in a black eco-friendly paper.
If the adapter you receive doesn't have this eco-friendly paper wrapping,
do take note of it.
Or if this eco-friendly paper has been removed,
it has been taken off.
Or the trace of the eco-paper being tampered with
You need to pay attention to that
Now, let’s check the plug
The plug is in good condition
No deformation
The pressure bend hasn’t been damaged
A 245-watt adapter
Unlike the 9000-series Supreme 400-watt brick, right?
Now, let’s take a look at the gaming laptop
Let's take out two shock-absorbing foams for the notebook.
A packaging bag from the little whale.
A bag made from recycled ocean waste by Lenovo.
After taking the machine out,
no need to rush.
Turn it on first.
Hold it to your ear and gently shake it.
Listen for any unusual noises inside the device.
Like loose screws, for example.
The sound of parts falling off
It's okay, no problem
Then, in a well-lit area
Carefully check the entire body of the device for any dents or bumps
Scratches or paint peeling
Whether you're worried about buying a refurbished unit
Or a fellow gadget enthusiast
Or if you're concerned about manufacturing defects
It's essential to conduct a thorough inspection
including its multiple air outlet fins
the footpads of the body show no signs of wear
the screws also have no signs of being tampered with
no issues at all
then what we need to pay attention to is
R 700p y7000 p
including the Y700, right?
the machine has this strip of rubber on its palm rest area
as well as on the left and right side ports
Make a note of this.
The new machine will definitely have this adhesive strip.
If you don’t have this strip,
then it’s likely that someone else has used it.
Because when you insert memory or hard drives,
multiple interface positions need to be used.
Let me show you gently.
Now let’s take a closer look at its condition.
It’s a strip similar to this one.
On the left side of the device
there's a strip of adhesive on multiple ports on the right side
including the front palm rest area
which also has this white adhesive strip
a small strip of adhesive tape
it's designed to protect the device's frame
if you receive a new laptop
and these three areas don't have the adhesive strips
you need to pay attention to that
It was definitely the previous owner who removed it.
The likelihood of it being a refurbished model is higher.
Now let's open it up.
Single-handed opening and closing.
The maximum opening angle is 180 degrees.
This hasn't changed.
After multiple openings and closings.
To check that the hinge damping is normal.
There are no unusual noises.
The non-woven fabric laid on the keyboard is standard.
All laptops come with it.
New laptops all have this piece of non-woven fabric.
It’s mainly to prevent damage during long-term storage,
or during transportation,
where the keyboard and screen are constantly pressed together,
which can damage the screen.
It can also leave some hard-to-remove keyboard marks,
which look quite unsightly.
So this non-woven fabric is definitely included.
Now let's look at the screen.
The screen surface may have some small dust particles adhering to it.
This is a normal occurrence.
The manufacturer's packaging space isn't dust-free.
Now let's check the C-side, the overall keyboard area of the laptop has no dents or bumps.
No scratches or paint peeling.
Now let's look at the touchpad.
Bottom left corner.
The two buttons at the bottom right
function like the left mouse button
while the right button has two functions
providing a normal, responsive tactile feedback
without any collapsing sensation
or being unresponsive
or making unusual noises when pressed
make sure not to press above them
as pressing the top area won’t activate any function keys
If you press too hard on the touchpad
you might damage it
Next, check the keyboard
make sure each key can be pressed and released normally
without any sticking, falling off, or unusual noise
ensure that every key is in good condition
The above checks for the appearance, keyboard, and screen
touchpad
and its accessories are all completed
At this point, you can power it on.
Press the power button.
There's no response at all.
This is the most normal reaction.
The Legion comes with a transport mode by default.
The first time you power it on, you must connect it to a power source.
If you don't plug it in,
it's the battery,
it won't work at this point.
So when you press the power button, there's no response.
There's a transport mode, you know.
Having a transport mode doesn't necessarily mean it's a new unit.
But if there's no transport mode,
then it definitely isn't a repeat occurrence.
OK, no problem.
Now let's plug in the power and turn it on.
Connect the power here.
So the adhesive strip needs to be removed next.
You should at least take half of it.
Move away from this power port, please.
Right?
If you don't move away from this power port,
how are you going to plug it in?
So for the new machines you've bought,
there must be a rubber strip.
On both sides of the body and the palm rests,
there are definitely three rubber strips.
After the first power-up and connection to the power source
the power indicator light will be orange
take note of this
it’s typically orange
if you see a white light
it means the device’s battery is fully charged
under what circumstances would the battery be fully charged
if it has been used by someone else
the manufacturer wouldn’t ship it with a full charge
Now press the power button to turn it on
While it's booting up
don't mess with its lid
tap its keyboard
or worry that it's stuck on the logo
and force it to shut down
Don't do any of these things
Just be patient and wait a moment
It should take about two and a half minutes
Alright, we're at the demo interface of the system.
Now, let's zoom in and go through the following steps.
In this interface released by the system,
select your country or region.
Follow the steps here.
Skip, skip.
At this point, choose to connect to the network.
Make sure to skip connecting to the network.
If you connect to the network at any point,
The Windows system is automatically activated.
No longer supports a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy.
Next, you need to check the battery report.
The system activation status can no longer be queried correctly.
And Microsoft’s servers are not connected to the internet domestically.
This will cause all of its subsequent responses to be particularly slow.
Let's skip the internet connection.
Hold down Shift and F10.
In the command prompt that appears, enter the command to skip the internet connection.
Pressing Enter will automatically restart the system.
Return to the interface the system released earlier.
Go back to this interface again.
Repeat the previous steps.
It shows 'Skip'.
At this point, you're on the network connection interface.
There's an additional option here.
I don't have an internet connection.
Click it.
Accept the license agreement
Enter a name
I strongly recommend that you use English letters here
Pinyin letters
Do not enter Chinese characters
Chinese characters may conflict with some applications
Errors can prevent certain applications from functioning properly
It's suggested to complete the verification and ensure safety before proceeding
Then choose to configure settings based on your needs
Let's skip this for now
Go straight to the next one
Proceed to the next page to enter the system release interface
First, let's check the system activation status settings
Click here, and on the left, there's a system option
Click in and scroll down
Find the activation option
Click in to check its activation status
It shows 'Unable to Connect' here
There won't be any issues
If it shows as activated
That means the device has been activated and used before
That's why I emphasized skipping the internet connection earlier
If you connect to the internet directly
The activation status will show as activated
You won't know if it was activated by you
Or if someone else had already activated it beforehand
The activation status is fine
Let's take a look at another battery report.
Press and hold Win + R to open the Run window in the bottom left corner.
Type CMD and hit Enter.
Enter the command to query the battery report and press Enter.
This will provide you with a battery usage time report.
Here is the file path where it's saved.
Copy this file path.
Open your web browser.
At this point, you don't need an internet connection.
Just view a local file through a web page.
Paste the copied file path into the URL here.
Hit Enter and scroll down continuously.
You'll see this blank table.
This is the power-on information for the machine's battery.
Keep scrolling down to this point.
You'll find a first power-on record.
It's from May 6th to May 13th, 2025.
That week.
Older dates are displayed with one week per line
More recent dates are shown with one day per line
So, how do you determine if it's on a specific day?
You can refer to its Windows logs for that
Right-click here to start
Click on Event Viewer
Got it
On the left, there's a Windows Log
Check the corresponding access operation records for the application
This page shows the records from around 4 PM on June 1st.
These records
are from the operations of various programs after this computer was plugged in.
They are the traces left behind.
Scroll down all the way to the bottom.
You'll see a few entries from May 10th.
From May 10th to June 1st,
if there are no records for any other periods, that's fine.
The accurate record of the first power-up is from May 10th.
Let's go back and check its power-on record.
It's from May 6th to May 13th.
The exact date is May 10th.
From the first power-on date up until yesterday,
May 31st.
If there are no additional power-on records during this period, that's fine.
The first one was on May 10th.
Now let's take a look at the machine's outer box.
The manufacturing date is clearly written on the outer box.
May 10th, 2025
Then the boss took a screenshot
To keep a serial number
Check it when you receive the goods
This is the machine
The serial number of the machine is like an ID number for a person
Each machine has its own unique code
It's never repeated
If everything checks out fine
Take out the USB drive we prepared in advance
Open the map app
The toolbox
Now you can see we're going to use the USB drive
We also need to peel off this adhesive strip
This adhesive strip
Because of where it's placed
It has to be peeled off
Open the emergency toolkit
As usual, let's start by verifying the hardware information.
It's equipped with a Ryzen 9 8945HX and 16GB of RAM.
The graphics card is a 50608G.
The display is by Tianma, and the storage is a 1TB SSD.
The Wi-Fi card is the MT7925, which supports Wi-Fi 7, and it’s pretty good.
This year, Lenovo's 7000P and 9000P series both come with Wi-Fi 7 cards.
Now, let's check the disk data.
It has been powered on nine times.
The total power-on time is six hours.
The read capacity is 474GB
The write capacity is 470GB
The health status is 100%
Just for the sound
There are no issues with the loudspeakers either
Next, let's take a look at its keyboard
Checking the keyboard before startup ensures there are no stuck keys or unusual noises
Physical integrity
Now, we're ensuring its functional integrity
Avoid mentioning a rarely used key that you found out was malfunctioning after a long time of using the computer.
By then, the return or exchange period would have passed.
You'd have no choice but to get it repaired yourself.
That can be quite frustrating, right?
Make sure to check everything before using it online.
OK, no problem.
What's important to note is that
a few of the keys don't light up.
A few of the buttons aren't lighting up.
Those physical buttons are missing from the notebook.
Let's check the screen next.
The screen should be examined on a solid color background.
Carefully inspect it for any bright lines.
Look for any dead pixels or blemishes.
Make sure the screen is in good condition.
Carefully observe it on a solid color background.
Then switch to multiple color backgrounds.
Primarily, use black.
White
Because these two colors stand out clearly against the background
OK, no problem at all
Safe exit
Many of you complete the inspection
And say you need to go back to the initial interface
Do we need to connect to the internet?
No need
Just plug in the network cable or click the small globe icon at the bottom right
Just connect to the Wi-Fi.
Then let's add the computer icon to the desktop.
My computer doesn't have the 'This PC' icon, right?
Check the box to add the computer.
Note that you should click to see.
Computers usually come with two drives.
The C drive and D drive, that's what they come with from the factory.
There aren't three.
This is a USB drive I plugged in.
It's gone once you unplug it.
Now, power off and add more memory for the boss.
Prepare two small tools.
A screwdriver.
A small prying tool.
If you don't have a small prying tool at home,
use a card as a substitute.
Make sure the screwdriver is hard enough.
Make sure to pick the one with high hardness.
A high-hardness screwdriver
Because many of you have mentioned that
You've stripped screws while working at home
That won't do
It's because your screwdriver isn't hard enough
Let's say you take a chopstick
Made of wood or plastic, right?
And shape it into the form of a screwdriver
Would it function properly?'
That's just not feasible, right?
Most of his screwdrivers are single-use, you know.
Those free hard drives that come with random purchases aren't very reliable.
Remove all the screws one by one.
The device's outer shell has a total of ten screws.
Four screws at the top.
Two screws in the middle.
Four screws at the bottom.
The six screws at the top and middle are longer.
The four screws at the bottom are short.
Make sure to pay attention and avoid putting them back incorrectly.
Now let's remove the back cover.
We need to separate the screen from the body of the device.
Why do we need to separate them?
If you operate with the screen still attached,
for example, if the force is unevenly distributed,
it can easily cause damage to the screen.
Use this prying tool or a card from home to start from the edge.
Lever out all the clips along the seam one by one
and remove the back cover.
Let's take a look at the R70P fan.
The air intake has a perforated design.
There's no additional dust filter added.
These two are the thermal pads reserved for the hard drives.
Lenovo is pretty considerate here.
For the 9000P, it's directly integrated into the cooling system.
This 7000P series
It's attached to the back cover.
The original 1TB solid-state drive.
This side is the reserved position for the instrument's solid-state drive.
This is its network card.
Two fans.
Below this is its RAM.
Before we install, we need to disconnect the battery.
After the battery is disconnected,
let's start by installing the RAM.
The original Samsung memory is also Samsung.
Just plug it in and it clicks into place.
Now let's add the hard drive.
The hard drive is for the boss.
Unscrew the reserved hard drive screws from the Western Digital.
Adding the hard drive is super easy.
It also clicks in when you plug it in.
Then secure the screws again.
OK, all done.
That's it.
Simple and easy.
Now let's put the cover back on the memory and add two loudspeakers.
Two hard drives, a network card, and fans.
The internal structure of the memory is quite beautiful.
After installation is complete,
remember to reconnect the battery cable.
OK, all done.
Now let's put on the back cover.
You need to be careful when installing the back cover.
After placing the back cover on,
you still need to separate the screen from the body.
Because you have to snap the clips in one by one.
Push it back into place.
If you try to push it with the screen still attached,
and the force is uneven,
it’s easy to crack the screen.
So, make sure to separate them before pushing.
Tsk tsk
OK, all set
Press all the clips back into place
Now just screw them back in one by one
OK, all 10 screws are back in
Now let's power it on
Press the power button
Press the power button on the new machine
After adding the memory and hard drive
it needs a self-check procedure
It takes about two and a half minutes
Be patient during the wait
Don't worry
Don't rush
Just give it a bit more time
It will boot up successfully after the self-check
OK, it's booted up successfully
Let's use a diagram
to show the boss if the memory and hard drive were installed successfully
They were successfully installed
Let's check the memory
32GB 1616 Samsung RAM from the factory
We also added a Samsung hard drive
The factory one is a 1TB ELECOM
and there's an additional 1TB Western Digital below
Both the memory and hard drive are installed
Now we can shut down and pack it up for the boss
