I've had mine for about two weeks now and I'm really happy. Finding 17" gaming laptops on sale turned out to be harder than I thought, at least with the specs I wanted.

Not at current gouged prices, but lenovo has tons os 16:9 skus distributed worldwide that they need to move.

The extraordinary appeal of the 16" iteration of the "Legion 5 Pro Gen 6" at Walnart, Costco (3050), Lenovo.com, etc. over their widely available and in-stock 17.3 "Legion 5 Gen 6" is this deal is a "Legion 5" (note the lack of the word Pro in its name) and these are all FHD 16:9.

The 16" Gen 6 Legion is the "Legion 5 Pro" which is a different beast with a highly coveted, more impressive display, frankly. QHD+ at 16" leaves you with a different wow factor than FHD 16:9 17.3" displays.

Once you go 16:10, you do things like pay massive premiums over settling for hot deals on 16:9 laptops IMO. Hoping for wider adoption of 16:10, such as the ASUS M16, the Triton 500 SE, Pavilion, Lg Gram, XPS (so far, and growing). All coveted for their game changing screen real estate.

And yea, Walmart foolishly says QHD and makes no mention of their differentiating feature anywhere in its product detail page or photos. But the unicorn is 2560x1600. Don't nobody try and tell them so they can correct it! I want people to pass on that puppy

I'm confused by the specs on it. Are there two M.2 PCIe 2280 SSD slots or is one a 2240 only. It appears to me that the 1TB drive is the 2280 and the other can only be a 2240. Pictures of the motherboard appear to show a 2240 slot empty.

Quote from MK7GOLF :
At the same time the largest complainers were the ones who refused to get off the couch and look for one not to mention also exacerbated by the fact scalpers probably with Walmart insiders poaching them as soon as they come in.

I drove 4 hours to pick one up that Walmart kindly reserved for me over the phone and on my way back brickseek updated the Walmart closets to me had limited stock lol. Was a little annoyed but the drive was relaxing and I only spent some gas money. You're right, though. Many weren't spamming Brickseek or calling their loc al Walmart's to at least check.

This or the 15.6" version and why? I know there's the screen size, overall size and weight difference, but I'm mostly going to be using mine around the house as a second computer that will go upstairs and downstairs. My desktop stays downstairs next to my 3D printer.
