    Thank you for the deal but this is a chunky boy. Still holding.

      The Legion 7 Slim had same specs and much less chonky, sadly think it's discontinued

      • +1

        Chonky isnt necessarily bad as they get too hot

  • I'm holding out for a new and chip with an 890

  • 2.8k at Lenovo. Pretty good deal
    Edit. 2.9k has better display
    So saving of around $200 over lenovo

  • How's the 14900HX?

    • Very strong. Stronger than the strongest AMD Laptop HX370 at the moment. However its hot and take twice as much TDP (Watts)

  • Isn't this a CPU that could have issues? It's a backported desktop chip.

    • Pretty much any Intel 12th-14th gen CPU could be affected by the elevated voltage/silicon degradation issue though it's moreso a problem for desktop chips but some mobile CPU product lines are very likely to be affected as well. It's basically impossible to determine how widespread the problem is as Intel's response and publicised information on this issue have been absolutely piss-poor so any Intel CPU made in the last 3 years should be considered suspect especially if it's having inexplicable stability issues.

      • I am very happy I bought an 11th gen i7 Intel a while back. Runs cool, much better TDP and thermals than 12th gen and later.

        Unfortunately, I bought that 11th gen inside an Intel NUC M15 laptop, now discontinued.

        Even Intel doesn't bother building Intel laptops these days.

  • 50 series laptops around the corner now id hold off.

    • Around the corner as in November, or May 2025?

    Hmm the Pro version has gone on sale for the same price with same CPU+GPU, so bit harder to justify especially with potential Black Friday sales next month / RTX 50 early 2025.

    • Thanks Jarrod! Keeping an eye on your website for the best deals during Black Friday! 🙏🏼

  • i have a legion 5 with a 4070, I don't think I'd pay 2600 for a 4070 today. This one only cost me $2000 well over a year ago, unless the better cpu is really important to you, I don't see how its worth it

    • same thoughts. a bit much to pay for a 4070 mobile today

    • Yep pretty steep. Better wait till g greedy year with the 5070

      • 5070 wouldn't fit lol

  • Update: it's temporarily out of stock.

  • I prefer the Slim AMD version

  • Confirmed mobile ID's with NV going back to 3000 series naming except the 5080 Ti being inflated to a 5090:

    GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile
    GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile
    GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile
    GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile
    GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile
    GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile

    5060 Mobile will be the sweet spot - same die as desktop, even better efficiency than the already tight ass 4060 and desktop 4070'ish performance due to GDDR7

    At the low end, Radeon 890M and Arc 140V have made big steps so NV are going to crank out a proper generational lift this time

    Anyone spending $2K+ on a 4070 gaming laptop over the next 3 months is either cashed up or desperate

    • I was both cashed up and desperate (more like impulsive) to buy one back in August lol.

  • This is actually the EXACT laptop I have been eyeing off buying. It's listed around $2700-$2900 in all other places so this is the best deal I have seen. You can get the
    "Pro" model for the upper end of that range though ($2800-$2900) which has better chassis and screen. However, I'm not interested in these prices. I'm hoping for a price around $2000 as I still feel the current pricing is way too high.

    The "Pro" model is $2899 directly from Lenovo and has been priced like this all year (ignore their bullshit pricing strategy saying 34% off as it's all fake). They are always priced at this level and have been for a long time. So a "true" discount would be much lower.

    I can vouch for Legion laptop although I have the 13900HX/RTX4090 32GB RAM/1TB SSD model. There’s overall minimal bloatware and I recommend software undervolting CPU with Throttlestop + slight GPU overclock using MSI AB.

    Few things to keep in mind:

    1) NVIDIA 50 series cards are coming no later than mid next year to consumer market. The laptop variant of 5090 especially is slated for 24GB VRAM which is much more future proof than my laptop 4090’s 16GB.

    2) If you follow tech news & politics, the usa is imminently in process of banning ALL chip imports to China especially 40/50 series affected… China rightly has started to finally retaliate by proposing to ban intel chips starting with all government computers… This means the price of higher end 50 series GPUs next year has more probable chance than not to be lowered/dropped especially if what I’m hearing from logistics/engineering side is Nvidia might have more stock than forecasted to sell… I believe greed been greed, Nvidia will hold stock maintain inflated pricing. Engineering whispers are they’ve already significantly shifted production and testing configurations to focus on server/enterprise variants of the 50 series chips so that means reverse can come true where 50 series GPUs are squeezed both sides from inflated demand by Nvidia withholding inventory from consumer distro + western market demand…

    Last unrelated but very relevant for all Win 11 users & prospective buyers, be warned about Windows 11 feature Recall (snapshot feature). All Win 11 PCs that are compatible (which is most) will have Win Recall enabled by default. You used to be able to disable and delete Microsoft screenshots of your sessions via GUI. That’s removed I believe or no longer works properly. You can’t manually remove recall feature either as it’s baked at system space level… You can use power shell cmds to manually & temporarily disable recall but it has chance to be reactivated by Microsoft with each update.

    Why this should bother you is because there’s significant debate within engineering circles whether your data screen shotted is actually anonymous + Your data used to train AI models + us & partners spying/building profiles on your data… This isn’t unnecessary fear mongering so much as reality of our current society and lack of any real alternatives beyond some Linux builds.
