Looks to be same model as https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/643288 which I bought from. The 32GB RAM that mine came with was the decent faster timings, so no need to upgrade. I assume this model will be the same, but don't hold me to that.
Only difference being it is Windows 11. Ensure to go to https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/socket-fp5-mobile/am… and update the drivers to ensure there are no performance issues with Windows 11.
Arguably the best 3070 laptop on the market right now.

    Great deal. I went Legion 7 3080 is claiming back price through work but negligible benefit and not worth the major premium.

    This L5P is an absolute monster machine

    • Brrrrt on 15/12/2021 - 10:54

      3080m this gen is really a shame because for one its cut from desktop 3070 die just like the 3070m, and two that you are restricted to 150w (+15wdB) max power draw while last gen cards are allowed for up to 200w power draw. Its certainly not the cooling have gone down across laptop vendors, just that nvidia happened to arbitary limited them to 150+15w for god knows why.

    • AussieMark on 15/12/2021 - 21:17

      Damn did you see Lenovo store. $3999 for the Legion 7 3080. And that's with $1000 off

  • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2021 - 10:45

    I'm glad I bought the 1k model, I mean even if I didn't own a PS5 I would still be 1k up

    Everyone has different needs!

    Just sucks GPUs are so expensive these days because of mining.

    Hey guys! This Deal or the Blade 14 at roughly the same price at 2686

      Do you need portability-blade 14

      Do you need raw performance-L5p

      Do you have time-wait for CES2022 annoucements

    • Megahowler on 15/12/2021 - 11:02
      +2

      The Legion's 16:10 screen was the clincher for me.. Super bright and super sharp
      the build quality is also really impressive

      I researched pretty much all 3070 based laptops between the $2.5k and $3k range when I was purchasing.. and the legion came out on top fairly easily.
      at this price with 32GB ram and 1TB and a full fat 140w 3070 nothing compares

      also supports USB C charging with a suitable powerbank

      • keanoobreaves on 15/12/2021 - 11:05

        I feel like the only downside for the Legion is the portability. Comes with a fat 300 watt adapter and the laptop in itself weighs 2.5kg. Blade weighs in at 1.7kg while packing a punch in terms of perfomance

        • Megahowler on 15/12/2021 - 11:06

          The portability is the only upside of the blade in my eyes..
          But that's the choice you have I guess..

    • agalea101 on 15/12/2021 - 19:37
      +1

      Haha I thought the same thing and bought both 🤣😭

      All I can say is with mucking around with both is yes hands down the blade is soooo nice in the hands "giggity" but that screen 😭 it just looks soooo small against the Legion but they are different class of laptops…

      The Legion pro is just so nice when it's on desk. Massive bright screen games run so month

      Though the difference in gaming is surprisingly very close! Turned off everything backend updated drivers etc

      Less than 10fps between them in Forza 5

      I finesse Microsoft to take back the blade and I'm keeping the Legion. If I go somewhere I'll take my switch and game.

      That's what really made me swing to Legion 5 pro against the blade

      Hope this helps 👍

      • keanoobreaves on 15/12/2021 - 20:55

        howd you end up returning the blade to microsoft?

        • agalea101 on 15/12/2021 - 23:49

          Complained about the slower ram switcheroo n my unit comin with around 270 to 300 nits when others have reported 330 to 350 nits.

          They issuing full refund.

          But now I'm rethinking again haha blade is quite nice …

          • keanoobreaves on 16/12/2021 - 10:46

            @agalea101: Yeah :( i ordered mine from Microsoft now im contemplating whether to keep it and get the L5P

            • agalea101 on 16/12/2021 - 11:22

              @keanoobreaves: Yeah feel free to use my excuse too

              but man the blade is on another level on how its constructed Vs the L5P

              Hardest choice I had to make in a long time

                @agalea101: I Ended up complaining about The Device having slower soldered Ram and ended up getting 35% back from the device meaning I only paid 1700 for the Blade 3070 haha. So i think I will keep the blade after that!

      Which part doesn't work? What price are you getting? I can add it to my cart and use the code to get it for $2,589.

      Make sure you are on the lenovo education store portal and you have the highest Legion 5 Pro selected.

      This is the student bean link, but you will need a code to get in. I don't have edu email so not sure on the process to access from elsewhere.

      If you're going to mine crypto, just get a desktop PC for far better cooling and higher hashrate. Mining on a laptop is just not it.

  • LlamaFace on 15/12/2021 - 13:58

    I've had this exact laptop since the original Lenovo Edu offer earlier in the year. It's the finest piece of tech I've ever owned. Gaming is a delight, ethernet it into your router and it'll stream Half Life Alyx wirelessly to a Quest 2.

  • zztrader on 15/12/2021 - 15:02

    Love the rear port alignment with a couple of side USB ports as well, nice design IMO :)

  • twistedvx on 15/12/2021 - 15:06

    Would appreciate some advice since I'm not very experienced with laptops.

    I'm weighing up between this one and https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/671034, was leaning towards the other since the specs look good enough and I'd like to save a bit of money, but is this one so much better that it would be stupid not to upgrade for just a few hundred more?

    • Brrrrt on 15/12/2021 - 15:13

      Whats your usecases? The 5i can be plenty enough and while this one is only 'a few hundred dollars extra' it is still ~600 extra that you may not get to use anyways.

      • twistedvx on 15/12/2021 - 15:32

        Moderate gaming, maybe running a few VMs, compiling programs, programming stuff.

        You're right that I probably wouldn't need the extra power but I was thinking in terms of QOL things like better screen, build quality + future-proofing.

        • SourNipples on 15/12/2021 - 15:43
          +1

          I'd take this one just for the extra ram and screen resolution (the other one is FHD).

          VMs chews up ram, and you'll want the 32gb.

        • Brrrrt on 15/12/2021 - 15:52
          +1

          Your call then I reckon. The build quality on the two machines is basically the same but this one have the better screen and specs of course. However, if more ram is what you are looking for, you can always get 64gb kits for only 334$.

  • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2021 - 15:10

    How much do people make mining off a laptop like this?

  • samuel042 on 15/12/2021 - 16:32

    really tempted to return my rtx 3060 legion 5 pro to lenovo and just buy this one. Is it worth it?

    • Brrrrt on 15/12/2021 - 16:41

      No. Since you already have a l5p 3060, a very well rounded machine for this generation.

      If you are going to upgrade, wait at least till next gen releases (which is very soon at CES2022) before making a decision. This model will only have gone down by then if you dont like the new machines.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/12/2021 - 17:02

    Need some advice on choosing. I don't need the laptop for gaming but I do like the hdr screen and slightly bigger size. Same spec laptop but with an inferior gpu is being sold here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/670823).

    My use case is software dev, running VMs and rarely some video editing and no gaming. Is that laptop good value for my use case? By good value I mean if it is overpriced for a 3050ti laptop

    • DKZ370 on 17/12/2021 - 15:41

      I wouldn't really say same spec… As you've pointed out :

      • Inferior GPU
      • Less Ram
      • Less SDD

      For me personally and my use case the $790.20 difference is justifiable.

    Joined the small business area but no stock there.

    • SueyJitSu on 10/01/2022 - 10:57

      I have no solid way of knowing when stock would be in next. My best guess would be a couple of months. Going by the fact that it was in stock in early August last year (then OzBargained in a day), then in stock mid December for this deal. So my best guess would be at least a couple of months.
      No stock in the EDU store from what I could see.

      Could always hit up the Lenovo chat and ask a rep.

      • JohnF888 on 10/01/2022 - 14:23

        Was wondering if the 3060 would be enough but might be better to go with the 3070. I do photogrammetry processing (and it will be an office replacement, video & photo editing machine) in many different locations - so it’s a work tool.

        • AussieMark on 10/01/2022 - 15:54

          Ah gotcha. Good luck. I'd try waiting a week or two then pull the trigger if nothing

          • JohnF888 on 10/01/2022 - 18:03

            @AussieMark: Will try.
            eBay says more than 10 of the more expensive model in stock and the 20% off deal finishes on the 15th. Don’t want to miss out though.
            Guessing most people are waiting for the new model, or a further price reduction of existing stock.
