For $799 get a better GPU:
Legion 5 15.6 Gaming 120Hz Ryzen 5-4600H 8GB RAM 512GB SSD GTX 1660 Ti
ebay.com/itm/303784270245

Or spend $100+ less for the same specs on a refurbished:

Refurbished eBay unit listed as "Seller Refurbished" and has 256gb SSD vs new unit with 512gb SSD for anyone interested.

Model numbers are also different, but not sure if difference is limited to SSD size only. 82B5000UUS (new) vs 82B5001XUS (refurb)

Costco has this but minus the TB HDD for $120 less. For that kind of difference you can buy a spinny drive and a stick of RAM.

I'd rather get this one all day. A spinny drive is useless in a laptop and you get the Costco warranty on top of it being $120 cheaper.

One 8 GB stick is around $40 but I haven't looked in detail enough on this machine to know if it's two 4 GB sticks or one 8 GB, so you're upgrade cost will be 40 - 80.

I'm looking at the 649 HP as well and I'm leaning that way. It's for my son and battery life is going to be a much more important factor than gaming. That and he already has an Xbox, Switch and iPad for various games.

The Costco one has a GTX 1650 not the GTX 1650 TI. So just be aware it's not the same GPU, not sure how much of a difference it makes.

Any thoughts on this? My gamer son wants to buy a 17" ... trying to make sure he spends his money wisely. I like costco for warranty and return purposes. TIA...

Very similar deal was $649 a month or so ago at walmart (SSD size is different at 256gb). I bought one and have been using it since.

I know the above doesn't help anyone currently, but it's good to know past price ranges for similar hardware.

I dont know about this specific model, but Lenovos in general are bad quality, cheaply made Chinese brand, and filled with bloatware and had even spyware at one point.

Someone would have to pay me for me to use Lenovo.

Hate to break it to you, but literally every laptop is cheaply made and Chinese.
