256GB SSD. Plastic built. There is no integrated graphics (the F in processor model means integrated UHD graphics will be switched off) , you will always be using GTX 1650 which means even for normal task battery usage will be higher and with 45 Whr battery it's going to be mediocre battery life.

250nits 60% sRGB display. Not a great choice but for the price this is a good combination of hardware.
After seeing single channel ram and cooling looks worse than HP pavilion, I cancelled my order.
And user upgradability will void the warranty, that's crazy.
Will wait for HP once, since it has dual channel ram, two side cooling fan, M.2 ssd and 2.5 drive bay.
CPU's appear the same:

Lenovo has 2 USB ports vs 3 on HP

Lenovo has Intel wifi vs Realtek on HP.

Lenovo has no extra cooling vents for gaming, while the HP does. This concerns me. However, notebookcheck review says throttling is not an issue.

I would rather get the HP, but I just ordered this Lenovo in case the HP sells out before I can pull the trigger.

Looks like the 2019 model came with a GTX 1050, so this is likely a 2020 BF special.
