Lenovo Legion 5i Vs HP Omen | Gaming Laptops for Video Editing

In this video, I am going to put the 2020 HP Omen 15 and the Lenovo Legion 5i. I have run these two laptops through 14+ creator focused benchmarks covering video editing in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, motion design, graphic design, photo editing, 3D modeling, and more. ►⏩►⏩ Check specs and pricing in the links below…

Let’s talk about the look of these two laptops. Both have very similar appearances. The Legion 5i with its matte green and iridescent Legion badge, and the HP Omen with its deep matte gray top cover and iridescent shape. Regarding which one I would feel more comfortable in a client meeting, I would choose either one with confidence

Concerning the build quality each laptop stands out in its own right. The HP Omen with its plastic top cover, bottom cover, side panels and aluminum keyboard deck, and the Legion 5i with it’s all plastic build and soft-touch keyboard deck..

I am a big fan of the HP Omen’s redesign, especially since they added the aluminum keyboard deck, this is a nice touch. Regarding durability, these laptops are going to be about the same. The aluminum keyboard deck is nice, but I don’t think it will lead to THAT much of an improvement on how durable the laptop will be over the soft-touch plastic. All in all I give the Legion 5i and the HP Omen a tie on build quality.

The ports selections are quite different, and the HP Omen stole my heart with it’s built-in SD card reader. It is one of the only gaming laptops that still features this nifty little port for video editors and photographers.

The HP Omen comes with:
x2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1
USB 3.2 Gen 2 (power-off charging)
USB-C 3.1 (DisplayPort + Charging)
HDMI 2.0
Mini Display 1.4
SD Card Reader
Network Port
Mic/headphone combo

And the Legion 5i comes with:
USB-A 3.1 Gen 1
3 x USB-A 3.1 Gen1
USB-C 3.1 (DisplayPort)
HDMI 2.0
RJ45 ethernet
Mic/headphone combo

As I open the lid on each of these laptops I am able to do so with one hand. The hinges are smooth and strong. There is only a slight bit of screen flex that is equally present on the HP Omen and Legion 5i. I would rate the hinges as a tie-breaker. Both are solid and sturdy.

Before we move onto the screen quality I want to discuss the ventilation on these two laptops. Both the HP Omen and the Legion 5i have generous vents for cooling. They both have vents on the bottom cover, and behind the keyboard deck.

However the HP Omen has an extra vent on the top of the keyboard deck.

The Legion 5i has vents on both side panels, whereas the HP Omen only has a vent on the right side. But the HP Omen has a vent on the top of the keyboard deck where the Legion 5i does not. So I guess it all evens out.

The Lenovo Legion 5i comes with a 15.6 inch FHD 16x9 display that can reach 144Hs. At full brightness it can reach 350 nits with a color gamut range of 99% sRGB - 80% Adobe RGB - 80% DCI-P3.

For a gaming laptop this is a fantastic screen, and the HP Omen is just as impressive.

The HP Omen comes with a 15.6 inch FHD 16x9 display that can reach 144Hz. At full brightness it can reach 320 nits with a color gamut range of 91% sRGB - 74% Adobe RGB - 74% DCI-P3.

The Legion 5i comes with a numpad whereas the HP Omen does not. Personally I am completely fine with this detail because I have never used the numpad on any computer I have owned.

The HP Omen I am reviewing comes with:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (8 Cores 16 Threads)
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 256GB SSD

Whereas the Lenovo Legion 5i comes with:
CPU: Intel 10th Gen Core i7-10750H (6 Cores 12 Threads)
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 512GB SSD

If you’re looking for a high performance Ryzen 7 laptop with an aluminum keyboard, great cooling performance, and one of the best keyboard decks and trackpads I have ever used, with a screen that has excellent color accuracy then you should be taking a look at the HP Omen.

However, if you’re looking for a handsome matte green laptop with a comfortable soft-touch keyboard deck that performs cool and fairly quiet while getting great benchmarks results in photoshop, video editing, 3D modeling and motion design, combined with a bright color accurate screen then you will want to snag the Lenovo Legion 5i.
