Also, this specific model from Walmart is often mentioned as having "bad" RAM. It isn't bad, per se, but rather the fact that the timing can vary based on the exact RAM installed.
A second NVMe storage bay is available, and a 2TB NVMe works fine in either.

For those comparing this laptop to others with faster processors, etc., keep in mind that a 5800 will run a lot faster than a throttled 5900 in a thin or poorly-cooled laptop.
The RAM in this Walmart laptop is the slow tRFC timings. You'll want to upgrade to new RAM if you want the best gaming performance.
Yes, the RAM and storage are not soldered, and so you can replace them no problem.

I'm leaning toward waiting for the better deal...
UPDATE: And it looks like it's back at the $1529.99 price. I guess it's just coming in and out of stock.

My plan was originally to wait for a killer deal and return Costco. But everyone kept saying how rare this Lenovo was and to hop on it immediately.
If I'm primarily gaming at 4k...then the processor doesn't matter much does it? Only advantage of the MSI gp66
Does this model have the bad RAM?
However, I was also looking for a good deal prebuilt between now and BF.... but I'm unsure of how long Walmart return policy.
What is their return policy?
I called customer support and it sounded like an outsourced foreign person who didn't really seem to know.
One site says 15 days for electronics. Others say 30 days.
Another says that after Oct 16th it counts as holiday time so it lasts until end of winter.
And last question. I used Bing, on MS pc browser. 6% cash back I activated. How does that work? Does it come back to me immediately? The customer service guy was clueless.
Ahhhhh, I'm torn on what to do.
THANKS a bunch ahead of time.
