This thread has been disappointing in terms of helping somebody make an informed decision. I'm going to try to help a bit.

Don't listen to the "last year's chassis" guy. Most laptop makers don't really even "make" their own laptops. Faceless tech companies will sell them the design. In this way it's possible that you get a laptop from one company that is internally similar to a laptop from another. Like if MSI and Lenovo bought their design from Quanta computer, then those laptops may be more closely related than you'd imagine.

What matters to you, the consumer? 1stly, the CPU and GPU chips, along with the RAM and storage. Secondly, (mostly for gamers) you need to consider wattage and cooling. You may think a 3080 beats a 3070, and you wouldn't be wrong to think that way. The issue is that if the 3080 is being underfed by low wattage, it may underperform vs the 3070.

Cooling is an issue too. Heat kills electronics. Laptops are a compromise solution to begin with, due to packing an entire computer's hardware into a compact space. When your laptop heats up, it's programmed to scale back performance in order to reduce thermals. This is good...you don't want your gear to cook. But the downside is you lose performance when this happens.

You can have the two different laptops with the same specs, and due to the thermal solution, they could perform differently. Add in the fact that each laptop has its own wattage rating, and you can have wildly different levels of performance between similarly specced laptops.

Honestly, it's a nightmare for the common consumer. So it's up to us to set the record straight and help people understand. I'll post the details in a different comment since this one is long enough.

No MUX and poor performing RAM really hold this back. I'd wait for a revision, as youre losing a lot of performance out of the box compared to what you should have.
It does have a mux in the lenovo software that comes pre-installed

$1150 is the real price folks. A bunch of people just had it delivered from ordering it 2 months ago. $1500 is a bit much for a non-pro Legion 5. I paid $1500 for a Legion 5 Pro with Ryzen 5800H, 3070, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 16" QHD screen.

This Legion 5 has a smaller 15" 1080p with far inferior color gamut, worse cooling, plastic all around vs magnesium on the L5P, lower memory, lower SSD. There are a bunch of drawbacks that can be mitigated by dropping the price to a more reasonable level like $1150.

2021 model has an upgraded chasis... And completed different design.. This is just the leftover inventory from last year and slapped in a newer cpu and gpu... 2021 model has gsync and a 1440p (2k) screen.
I think you're thinking of the pro model. This is the regular Legion 5 model but 17"screen. Only the pro models have 2k and 16". I got one like this for 1100 on this deal a few months ago. I don't honestly know how to tell if this is 2021 though lol. From reviews, the 2020 17"model has the 2070 and the 2021 model has the 3070.

Do you remember (can you share) how you triggered the glitched price?
most of the orders got cancelled afterwards, only the initial batch got it to ship (me included, lol)

These are probably the same ones that were cancelled (after ordering) by some during last glitch deal ($1150). Lenovo is trying to get rid of them, but honestly, solid deal even at this price point.

I just returned my Legion pro 7, didn't care for the screen it seems like the colors were a bit washed out but maybe my eyes are just used to the oled on my alienware. It handled games well though and the build quality seemed top notch, warranty was also pretty cheap I believe it was like $150 or something for 3 years.

Great mining laptop. Getting 63MH/s on 109 watts. Temps are in the high 50s/low 60s. You will make 110-120 a month currently.
