I believe this is the same one that is currently selling for $1100 at Costco. Screen looks fantastic.

From an online review:

Nailed it

Solid build quality
Pretty decent performance
Customizable configurations
Handles most games o.k.
120Hz refresh rate display (up to 240Hz available)
Plenty of ports on board
RGB lighting

Needs work

Struggles with higher settings on some games
Keyboard slightly spongy/soft for typing
Crowded number pad
Not very bright at 250nits (up to 500nits is available)
Mediocre battery life

that's what I was afraid of.... so it's not very bright... Frown

otherwise, looks like a good price with decent specs..

If it's the same screen as the RTX 2060 Gateway laptop then it's pretty subpar for the pricepoint.

Uhmmm yeah "the screen looks fantastic" is quite the bit of hyperbole. I have the 120hz. Its passable. Low color gamut and just bright enough that I wouldn't call it trash.

Do yourself a favor and find a Legion spec'd with at least the 144hz panel. Its not hard to find one that's been listed on EBAY with AMD CPU and the 1660ti for about the same price. V...I...P or something. Makes a very noticeable difference for very little extra $$$.

For Reference, here is the Costco model...

https://www.costco.com/lenovo-leg...68543.html

It has 16gb vs 8gb of Ram
1024GB vs 512GB SSD.
144hz Display vs 120hz. (Note: The Brightness and Color Gamut are MUCH better too.)

--

The Ops laptop is showing $1099 for me currently, and the CostCo deal is WAY better at that price point.

However, I'm not a fan of the CostCo Price Point of $1199.
If the BB laptop WAS the CostCo laptop at $899, it would be a great deal but less sure due to the weaker screen as well as modest RAM and SSD size.

Keep in Mind, there will be a Legion Refresh very soon with Ryzen 5000 CPUs............
