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.

Have to say the fan is soooo loud. I'm not a hardcore gamer but currently play Diablo 2 Res which isn't extremely GPU demanding and the Legion 5 can be heard from across the room. Have on quiet mode, messed with bios thermals etc and doesn't keep the fan from blasting.
I also ordered the Legion 7 slim deal from Lenovo, it will arrive tomorrow but am now reading it's even louder than the Legion5 Pro.

Got the last one in Asheville, NC and im damn glad I got it. Ended up getting Samsung VRAM on the 3070 so it hashes at 67 MH/s at +1800 on the memory. Good for about $5 a day, plan on mining the next 5-6 months at least. The extended warranty option for 2 years + accidental damage is only like $70 or something so its a no brainer.
The 3070 with that memory OC (plus core clock offset of +150) scored just a hair below a desktop 3060 Ti in firestike and Timespy. Kind of insane. Scored better than the 200 watt RTX 2080 in my old Asus ROG laptop that required 2 AC adapters! I even got 5% off using my Chase Freedom card. To put this in perspective, the median Timespy score for RTX 3080 mobile chips is 11129 , I got 11300 with that insane memory OC. So its performing about as well as most mobile 3080 chips. the 140 watt 3070 is an incredible performer with Samsung VRAM.
Probably the best price to performance laptop ive ever bought. The GPU and CPU scored better than a $4000 laptop from August 2019. (200 watt i9-9980HK + 200 watt RTX 2080)
Kind of crazy but this thing actually has the balls to push 2560x1600 native res at ultra settings. For $1400 you would not expect a desktop replacement type laptop but you absolutely could replace a desktop with this thing and run everything on high/ultra with RTX on at 1440p. Going to upgrade the RAM and see where that puts my Firestike and Timespy scores, they are already pretty great.
