Found this deal while scrolling through Lenovo's eBay store. Seems like a better deal than any Lenovo have on their website. Although it is last gen, performance shouldn't be much different compared to current gen.. and quite a bit cheaper too.

Coupon Code: SAVLVO

You could also use ShopBack's 3% cash back on eBay gift cards to save another $45 (As far as i'm aware you can only use $1500 in gift cards per transaction on eBay).

Probably best to wait until black Friday sales but this could be handy for someone looking for a laptop now :)

    Got this on watched. Hopefully something happens on Black Friday 🤞

  • choory on 10/11/2022 - 11:45

    Good price but still expensive to me.
    Desktop parts price are rapidly going down but laptops are not… Very stable.☹️

    • ttkc on 10/11/2022 - 11:59

      I have never owned a desktop - always use a laptop for home and work. I am curious, how much does it cost to build a equivalent or similar performance desktop PC?

        Laptop 3070 seems to be equivalent to a 2080S, so probably a < $1200 desktop?

            @KSinny: In most cases, one would need an external monitor anyway. Awful working using the small laptop's screen. Same for mouse…

          • Wonderfool on 10/11/2022 - 15:09

            @KSinny: I mean, if you really wanna penny pinch to get a similar quality screen, just get a used dell monitor on ebay. Along with a membrane keyboard and mouse, less than 100 bucks.

        • choory on 10/11/2022 - 14:35

          Yeah, I agreed that all most half price of laptop with same performance except mornitor and speakers.

          Keyboard and mouse you also have to buy for gaming even laptop has Keyboard and trackpad.

          Anyway when you want to use full performance of graphics card, you have to use desktop isn't it?

          Yes, laptops are portable but gaming laptops are…

    • Wonderfool on 10/11/2022 - 15:12

      I guess? It was moreso that desktop parts were so expensive that you can get a 3060 laptop for the price of the gpu.

      Now, the pendulum over corrected, but laptops prices have traditionally been far more expensive compared to pc.

    Been looking at the Legions a lot the last few days, this looks good for price but leaning towards the 3070ti model or all out 3080ti (or top the amd version). Hoping something comes up for black friday as they are bloody pricey

    • KSinny on 10/11/2022 - 12:12

      There's another one on their eBay store which has an AMD 5900HX, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD and an RTX 3080 for $3039.20

      • cook99 on 10/11/2022 - 12:15

        Thanks, I did see that, although doesn't seem as good as this previous deal?
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/729026

        I'm new to laptops (well since my last Sager/Clevo purchase in around 2013) so way out of the loop and just getting back in now. That laptop has long since died and my desktop is on its last legs so the Legion seemed to fit the bill to replace both.

          Yeah theres definitely been some better deals than this one, personally i'll probably wait until black Friday sales start and see what I can get then.

          • cook99 on 10/11/2022 - 12:20

            @KSinny: Thanks, I'm prepared to go all out on the i9/3080ti if some good deals come up, or aim for the above AMD equivalent. Don't do much laptop gaming these days but like to be future proof as best as possible, Diablo 4 will likely be most played game in future

            • KSinny on 10/11/2022 - 12:27

              @cook99: Im with you on that although i probably wont go as all out as you unless there's a really crazy good deal. Im more likely to get an i7/3070ti or AMD equivalent, This https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/714489 was an amazing deal so i'm hoping something like that comes up again within the next few weeks.

              • cook99 on 10/11/2022 - 14:23

                @AEKaBeer: 😂 I actually didn't hate Diablo immortal beta, but upon release the pay2win design really put me off, felt like the D3 real money AH all over, where I'd spend more time trawling that page for gear than actually playing, stock market simulator basically

                • WarChief on 10/11/2022 - 15:27

                  @cook99: Diablo Immortal is unapologetically pay2win, which isn't surprising considering that is the platform's (mobile gaming) mode of operation.

                  D4 seems similar to D3 with the oversaturation of colours ('cartoony' look and feel) and lack of immersive ambience.

                  No wonder they re-released Diablo 2 to satisfy the old school diablo enthusiasts.

                  With Activision Blizzards acquisition by Microsoft, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for Sony with the top titles that are held by Activision and Blizzard

                  • cook99 on 10/11/2022 - 15:46

                    @WarChief: I actually can't wait to play the D2 resurrection, my very aged desktop can't even handle that so looking forward to a new laptop to enjoy the old school games like this, also C&C and Warcraft remakes

                    • WarChief on 10/11/2022 - 16:33
                      +1

                      @cook99: yeah, I got an Acer Nitro 5: i5 11400 w/ RTX 3060 that is alright for playing Diablo 2 resurrected with max settings, using a cooler pad and an external monitor. It sometime does struggle when there are one too many characters on the screen.

                      Diablo 2 IMHO is still the superior game compared to D3. I never got that much into C&C games so can't comment. From what I heard about Warcraft 3 remake it wasn't a successful remake. YMMV

                      I think it is a good time to build a desktop using parts individually gathered so I'm assuming a system(desktop) with similar specs to this laptop should cost approx $1500.
                      I haven't done my homework behind this figure Ozbargain so no pitchforks please

                      • cook99 on 10/11/2022 - 18:17

                        @WarChief: Get him!!!
                        I came to a similar rough figure of $1500 to $2000 for desktop equivalent but…
                        I get a bit of a 2 for one with laptop since I have neither right now:
                        1 space saved in office with no desktop tower.
                        2 extra monitor built in for normal use
                        3 plug into theatre room LG OLED for big screen games
                        4 can use laptop on couch

                        Of course I know a desktop build makes sense for raw performance but I really don't need it, and can afford the Legion. Other consideration I had was buy the desktop and get a decent $1k laptop for mobile use but items 1-3 above more important for my personal uses.

      Legion 7i have better cooling (vapor chamber), performance (140w + mux switch), and gigabyte screen outside of being 300hz and 17' is not better than legion panel (better response times even at higher reso and lower hz, HDR400, gsync support), more rgb appeal, more comprehensive IO and is generally a more premium machine hence it retained it value a lot compared to the gigabyte.

    • Brrrrt on 10/11/2022 - 14:48
      +1

      You are mistaken mate. Its not desktop 11th gen. mobile 11th gen already uses intel 10nm node a year earlier than desktops, and the resulting performance is very much comparable and even better than zen 3 mobile due to larger L3 cache. Only downside is efficiency below 40w and battery life, but neither is an issue on a machine with good cooling like legion 7 (hence can maintain higher wattage on the cpu favoring intel) and it being a gaming laptop battery life is not exactly a major factor into purchase for most people.

          thats your problem right there mate. I noted in my reply to you that 'Only downside is efficiency below 40w and battery life', and while this is not a issue for the legion 7 a heavyass gaming laptop, it is a major issue to thin and light notebooks where power efficiency is key. A 4 core chip at no place against zen 3 -u series offering better, 6/8 core performance for less power usage as ryzen scales much better below 40w.

    • NuclearWessels on 10/11/2022 - 15:55

      It's not an impressive gen, but it's completely fine for the price and is unlikely to bottleneck that 3070M. Compared to a midrange Ryzen mobile processor it holds its own

        It has 2 years warranty. I understand we have to take Purchasing power parities (PPP) into consideration. But, CPU price, RTX 30XX, RTX40XX prices are similar or more expensive in China than Australia. Cannot understand why the laptop is so expensive here.

    errr… i think there is a big performance difference between gen 11 and gen 12 intel CPUs. completely different approach to architecture. 12th gen using the concept of having different purpose cores, Performance vs Efficiency cores. saving on energy and gives you power when you need it.

    • Brrrrt on 10/11/2022 - 18:04

      Appreciate the input but you are wrong by quite a bit here:

      there is a big performance difference between gen 11 and gen 12 intel CPUs

      multicore wise, yes they see a decent gain, but single core gains and especially actual gains in games? Much smaller. Certainly is the case with mobile chips as 11th gen is using intel 10 node already as compared to desktop end where they didnt move up to 10nm until the 12th gen.

      12th gen using the concept of having different purpose cores, Performance vs Efficiency cores. saving on energy and gives you power when you need it.

      12th gen mobile chips didnt solve the energy consumption problem of 11th gen chips as the uncore usage remains high -intel have thunderbolt, more bandwidth more pcie lanes etc none of which help with battery life at all, not to mention core scheduling is not catered towards power saving at all. With 12th gen chips no matter if its desktop end or laptop end, at least one of the performance cores remains active at all times, and contrary to popular belief, low powered workloads would actually be running on the performance cores first, and only in demanding workloads, would the so called economy cores kick in. There is no power saving at all here, the naming scheme certainly doesnt help but it is what it is.

        Nope sorry I disagree. And let's not pretend to be experts. Listen to Linus and the graphs here. https://youtu.be/-EogHCFd7w0

        Gen 12 is 10-20% faster (yes I am generalising here) than 11th gen equivalents. Go on check the graphs. The gap is even greater when it's multi-core workload check the PS benchmarks which takes advantage of the multi-core.

        I quote 'this is a legit generational leap even over 5600X' …you know, ala AMD CPUs. of which kicked gen 11's butts.

        DDR5 does help too.

        PS they are efficiency cores not economy cores.

          Im not pretending to be experts and you can stop pretending as well mate, linus is literally benchmarking desktop end comparison and not laptops? I literally said in my original comment to you that mobile gains are much smaller than desktop gains since the transition to 10nm is done a generation earlier. You can keep ignore that part.

          And yes thats a nonsense typo i made on my end I blame my fingers fudging around and autocorrect doing its job somehow. But my point still stands, you can feel free to screenshot my comment and ask on LTT forums to see if im correct or not.

            @Brrrrt: Transition to new new fab 10nm or not. Desktop or mobile or not. Let's see some more facts.

            https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-Li…?

            The summary performance rating score here for 12800H Vs 11800H is a 16% increase. 89.3 Vs 75.4. That's massive in a generation IMO.

            I guess 16% in your view is small but in my view its large and well worth a couple of hundred in premium.

            • FabMan on 11/11/2022 - 09:40

              @hippo2s: In synthetic benchmarks, the 12th gen looks like a big upgrade, but in reality it seems like efficiency is the biggest upgrade for the 12th gen. When the GPU is in use, the CPU doesn't seem to matter, similar performance. There are a few tasks where the 12th gen pulls ahead a little, and if you use those tasks, the 12th gen might be a worthwhile upgrade, but to most, it doesn't seem that big of a deal.

                I think I saw a deal yesterday for a 12th gen Legion 5, for another $150 or so more than this deal. That to me is a much better deal.

                    @nasir55: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/736086

                    for your consideration.

                    NOTE: they are different laptops. But at 2249 so $90 more only. You get 12th gen CPU (better) but 3060 GPU (worse). Note that list is a 5i, while this one is 7i, so yes a bit of premium for 7 series, the differences are in the build material. 5 is still very nice IMHO. 15.6 inch screen vs 16 inch. DDR4 vs DDR5 (much better).

                    If it was my money - (i have seen many-a-Legions for work) - I would suggest the other deal is a better all rounder, better CPU. better RAM, slightly smaller chassis, the downgrade in GPU isn't a deal breaker unless you intend to do hardcore AAA title gaming AND chases frames. I would hook it up to an external monitor anyway so the screen specs matters little to me.

                    If you like the frills tho… RGB light bar around the laptop anyone? (yes, even in the vents! ;) better materials all round (fully metal body), it being a '7' and not a '5'. better built in display, and can live with one gen older CPU and RAM…then this listing is good for you.

                    Another one for consideration. If you are more of a business user that might want to do some light gaming. I love the build and design it is very modern and less 'gamer'. ie no RGB.

                    • nasir55 on 18/11/2022 - 08:15

                      @hippo2s: That one really is very elegant looking laptop especially the two color design on the back (lid top). And earlier i really considered it but just stopped due to the TGP for the GPU. (yeah I know it was not purpose built for gaming)

  • nasir55 on 23/11/2022 - 19:57
