Display - Good but basic. 144hz has become a standard for 1080p screens. The only disappointment with this display is that it maxes at 300 nits, which isn't too dim, but it's not impressive either. What many consider the minimum for gaming laptops in the $1000+ range.
Thermals - very, very good. The laptop hasn't changed much from the 2020 model, and has one of the best designed heatsink/fan setups in this range.
Memory - Two slots for user changeable SODIMMs on the bottom. Thankfully no soldered RAM here.
GPU - 3070 80w w/dynamic boost, so basically maxes out around 100w. Because the thermal system is good, it generally handles this well, and there are no reports that it thermal throttles. It won't beat bulkier 115-130w mobile 3070 laptops, but it will beat previous generation 2070 115w "Max-P" by 10-20% depending on the game.
CPU - The Ryzen 7 5800H is basically a stones throw away from the Ryzen 9's, within the top tier of current mobile CPUs. If gaming is what you desire, this is as good as you need for any game. The GPU is the real focus there however. Just like the Ryzen 9's, it's 8 core / 16 thread, it just has a lower max boost clock and base speed.
Storage - 2x NVMe M.2 slots, one on either side of the battery. Fairly standard in this class.
Battery - reports say battery life is similar to last year's model, so 5-7 hours battery life for general use, which is quite good for a 3070 laptop. Gaming as usual will drain the battery much faster, in 1-2 hours.
Aesthetics - a really professional looking laptop that can easily blend into an office. A big reason I nearly bought it.
Fans - when gaming or pushing it hard, the fans are on the higher side of average. Not bad, but very noticeable.

Where are the QHD(+) versions on these!
If you use your laptop for a lot of productivity and work that can make use of the Ryzen processor, though, then it may be worth the upgrade.

THank you!
I also see an option for a QHD screen (+160). I have old eyes in my old head, so that makes the type too small for me even with reading glasses.
Any feedback on the quality of the hinges? Do they have a lot of flex when opening/closing the lid and is there risk of them cracking after a few months?
But since it isnt going to ship until 5/10/2021 if even... I anticipate a cancellation request should be fine.
At least it's already paid for. :/
What was the original estimate? I'm guessing a month or so? 6 weeks is egregious.

Anyone have thoughts on cooling, throttling, and wattage of the 3070? I've been reading that you can't just go by the name of the video card anymore, because a low wattage card will be less powerful than a higher wattage lower end card...
Although I'd prefer these specs at 17" for hopefully a more efficient cooling system. I'd actually prefer a Legion with these specs, but who knows when Lenovo is going to get their stuff together...
