Also I don't understand: does this not have "Thunderbolt"? What kind of thing do I use to have both my monitor and keyboard connect to it through one port?

But I am not sure why you need that. You can connect your monitor via the HDMI port or the Type-C port using a Type-C to HDMI or DP cable, depending upon your Monitor's input and Keyboard via the USB port and this has 4 of them.
The RGB keyboard is a $30 option at https://lenovo.com. Not sure if any of Walmart's other configurations of the Legion 5 come with it.
- It runs Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 at good frame rates with graphics on high and TAA enabled.
- Screen is bright, vibrant, and accurate. No backlight bleed.
- Keyboard is excellent. Not quite on par with the Pixelbook and MacBook, but better than other mid-tier laptops I've used. Likewise for the trackpad.
- Chassis feels solid for not being a unibody. Design is subtle and understated. Looks more professional than typical gaming laptops.
Had initially ordered the Alienware M15 R1, but it got delayed. Then settled on the Acer Helios 300 before finding this deal. Also considered the 17" Nitro 5, Triton 300, and Asus TUF A15. All have pros and cons, but the Legion 5's screen at this price point is slick.- It runs Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 at good frame rates with graphics on high and TAA enabled.

Bought myself and the daughter both something for traveling.
Really thought hard about the Powerspec too for its upgradability but frankly at this price point it's good for two years and I won't feel bad about trading up for something new in the slightest.

I didn't get it initially since it's supposed to be possible to add it up to 30 days later. And as expected, walmart.com shows this text next to the order in my purchase history:
SquareTrade can sell me the protection plan directly, but they'd charge much more.
Walmart can't figure out how to add it, and told me to purchase another Legion 5 (with the warranty) and return the first laptop. Seems stupid and wasteful since Walmart would be taking back a used computer (for no reason other than this).
Very happy with the computer itself.
