Am I missing something? Yesterday's Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 dominated the hell out of this deal.

- 2 TB PCIe SSD instead of 1TB
- 2K screen instead of 1080p
- 400-500nit instead of 300 nit.
- 165hz instead of 144hz
- Cheaper

My price:

Could have been even lower if I was a student, teacher, first responder, etc with id.me at checkout.

EDIT: The 11% back via slickdeals chrome plugin expired yesterday (is now 2.5%), so did the one on ℜαḱυт℮η, but ℜαḱυт℮η's is still at 5%, which still makes this deal slicker than this post here)

Tl;dr: lenovo direct is a very SD'esque place to shop... Crazy deals to find if you're willing to through a through hoops.



If it was still 4+ month shipping, I'd totally understand. But these days, I actually like buying direct from lenovo (esp compared to Dell and HP who can both eat a dik...):

Ridiculous coupon stacking, along with cash back and myrewards pts

No restocking or return shipping fee (unlike HP and Newegg)

CS will likely throw money at you to be happy and/or not return the units

Logistically pretty accurate order tracking (except for the $1150 Legion debacle...)

If corporate gets involved, you'll probably get whatever you want to be happy.

Their machines are actually built well. No issues with my thinkcenter, chromebook duet, any of my old thinkpad X series, or my current Legion 5. No weird rattles, no wimpy cooling fans.

Now, I wouldn't say they're the same as a crazy good place like Costco. Wait times can be bad for phone support, and you have luck of the draw with after-order support, but in terms of online places... They're no worse than Amazon or tmobile in this regards.

Wouldn't it make sense for you to get a 4K HDR screen then?
It is a reasonable comment, and I am selling my old laptop for about this price with a Sharp 4k panel. The problem is that working in 4k on a laptop is a colossal pain in the neck for a ton of reasons. I am wiling to forgo on a bit of color accuracy (meaning less than 100% Adobe RGB) to get the resolution back to normal levels relative to the screen size.

You can never get both - display and specks.
Used to have this laptop of prev. year with the same chassis and screen.
Most of the time was using screen at 50-70% brightness for office work, 100% for photo edits and 100% for gaming.
It is bright enough and you don't need more unless you want to kill your eyesight. The only problem is when playing darker scenes then you want a little bit more brightness.

Also make sure to check left and right display hinges - one of them were badly loose on mine, so potentially could break on me down the road in 1 year.

Display is 100% sRGB - which is every color you see on the web and photos.
Quote :
1.) Adobe RGB requires special software and painstaking workflow not to screw it up. Make one mistake anyplace and you get dull colors, or worse. You cannot use Adobe RGB on the internet or for email or conventional photo lab printing. If you do, the colors are duller.
So why need more? Just for the sake of having larger fancy numbers like 100% AdobeRGB, 93% DCI-P3 and etc.
Though it wasn't my favourite display for Lightroom photo edits - but you could expect that.
Good screens on laptops was always a price point of near $2000 if you want good specs with it. You never had amazing display around 1500 and below.
You can buy a Mac and have a good screen, but then it has own downsides.

Gaming performance these days are mostly held back by the gpu and not the cpu. Alder lake will likely bring longer battery life as the main improvement. Most games coded for consoles with 8 cores anyway. Most aren't going to take advantage of big.little mix of 6 big and 8 small cores.

Might sound obvious, but why not run the 4k panel in 1080p resolution. Group the 4 sub pixels into 1 essentially. There's also usually settings to help with high pixel density, but some programs just don't like 4k.
