for $100 more you can get this updated version: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Dis...B08YKG5K7F [amazon.com]

Did you check what Graphics card it has? Do that and then check some review of that GPU's performance vs RTX 2060.

Not saying this is a bad deal but, the 3050ti is maybe on par with a 1660ti on a good day(if you don't hit limitations due to 4gb vram vs 6gb). With a 2060, it shouldn't even be close.

I don't think so. But you can google it out Legion 5 2020 model.

$869 using perks at workThey must be clearing these out for the new Models. The 7-4800h isn't much off from the Newest 7-5800. It also has the better of the two screens available 300 nits, 144Hz. Only down side, the battery life is pretty weak "Up to 4.2 hours with polymer 60Wh" (claimed)

As low as $782 (net pre tax)

$869 using perks at work then another 10% off with a popular CB site =$782+tax. They must be clearing these out for the new Models. The 7-4800h isn't much off from the Newest 7-5800. It also has the better of the two screens available 300 nits, 144Hz. Only down side, the battery life is pretty weak "Up to 4.2 hours with polymer 60Wh" (claimed)

CB sites don't work on any Perks at Work at Lenovo. It has to be directly Lenovo.com.

Thanks, Good to know Wink

I will edit my post. Would have been a killer deal though. I also noticed the Senior discount wasn't there(probably military and student discounts are gone also).

I have had this laptop and have no issues with hinges yet. It lives in my backpack and travels daily if that's an indication of durability

Thanks for the info. Good to know. I'd heard about some complaints in some reviews, so I hope it's not serious.

I have an opportunity to get one of these used locally but with the Ryzen 5 4600h and the RTX 2060. I know, it's a very rare combo. Trying to decide if I can go back to a 5.42-lb. laptop.

But according to Lenovo's spec site, it only adds about 1.4 hours or so for a total of

Up to 5.7 hours with polymer 80Wh
Up to 4.2 hours with polymer 60Wh

Out of stock anyways Frown
