Who knew "Does it have 2 drives?!" would be the dominant query on SD over the last 2 months.

So I popped my l5 17 open

A few disappointing areas:

It will not come with two 1 tb ssd drives only one and not even the 1 tb mechanical drive as some people thought, but there is a slot for a extra nvme no 2.5 slot however

2nd: the laptop display does not support freesync
so no variable refresh rate for us who own the ls17

I post pictures of the ram timings for those who are interested in that


I am now going to contact Lenovo customer service to see if I can get a partial refund since my Pc only came with 1 tb ssd when I order the extra 1 tb ssd secondary storage option.

Thanks for the update. Let us know if you get the partial refund. Are you able to turn on mux and use freesync that way? Not sure if this laptop has mux though.

Laptop has mux Switch, so you can choose between discrete and hybrid mode.
However freesync is not supported by the display so hybrid mode won't give the freesync option, which is a real bummer because I wanted variable refresh rate for my gaming.

L5 17 should have FreeSync per the spec, so it's something worth looking into: https://psrefstuff.lenovo.com/Det...82JY005TUS

And for the 2 drives, it wasn't really ever in the order. The order spec only listed 1 drive, it's just listed weirdly as the "2nd Drive".

Does your spec list actually show a secondary drive? For my L5P it is explicitly listed both in the order confirmation and on the spec list on the Lenovo site.

When mux is turned on the Amd software is deactivated
So freesync is only selectable in hybrid mode.
But the display on the l5 17 does not support freesync so the option is not selectable. Huge disappointment for me.
I rather have variable refresh rate that even the extra 1 tb drive which was not included by the way.

One major point however is the laptop runs extremely cool:
That Amd chip and that big heat sink with those huge fans does wonders for the temps.

But the missing freesync and the lack of the extra ssd drive that was advertised

Is leaving a very sour taste on me
Frown
Still can't complain that much thou for the price.

Will contact them later today

I am going through the laptop thoroughly to try to convince myself to keep it.


I will almost certainly return and wait for Alder lake if Lenovo doesn't partial refund or compensate me.
