How to get the AMD 3070 version to 1440? Tried to add it to cart but it is the same price as Intel version. TIA

It will check out for the same price, you need to use a Cashback source to get it down further. 12% is no longer available but some sites have 8%, which brings it down to around $1500.

It won't be a direct discount, but you'll get a check in 3ish months for about $130

My company bought 46 of these. One came DOA and 4 more GPUs have gone bad. Starting to get worried that we are going to have a real problem soon. Otherwise, the ones that are working are amazing!

Which website provides 12% or 8% cashback?

Raku10. Site was giving 15% CB over Presidents Day weekend, then 12% after. Looks like it dropped down to 8% yesterday.

Also, you can stack on an extra 5-7% off using ID.ME in the cart if you qualify (medical, education, military discounts)

Just to weigh in, if you don't need thunderbolt, I'd go with the Ryzen model. It's significant savings for what will amount to the same performance, essentially. Both CPUs will have their wins on a game-by-game basis and within a very small margin in most cases. The AMD models also get marginally better battery life, but I would take that with a grain of salt, as these laptops tend to be on the lower end of the spectrum for battery life even with menial tasks (all things relative, I'm saying lower end for 2021 laptops, not compared to 2015 laptops that get an hour).

Also, while I can't make any guarantees, the Lenovo shipping times are often far overestimated. I've never seen a 4 month shipping listing take longer than 1 month, and if you heckle them in the chat, you can get priority. Just...be personable, not pushy.

My two cents.

Does anyone have personal experience with Lenovo with "ships in 2 months" time frame. Does it really take that long?

Mine said ships in 4+ months but I received it in about 3-4 weeks. Same configuration.

Just a quick note on this machine, this is a custom build order, it's just msrp + coupon saving since last week.
However if you want to do a custom build with Lenovo, there are some cons vs "ready to ship" machines:

1. It varies on shipping time, some people report within a month, some said still in waiting for 3 months+, on build page, it says 4 Months+
2. It only came with basic warranty, ready to ship usually have ultimate warranty and can be extended afterwards for 3 or 4 years for pretty cheap price(around $100-160). Basic warranty usually need more to buy extended warranty.
3. As for Legion 7i in general, all the machines are came with Micron vram
4. The HDMI 2.1 is gimped with less than 40G bandwidth, it can only output 8bit 4K@120hz
5. Memory is 1Rx16

With employee/military pricing, it's marginal difference between amd and Intel. Main difference right now would be shipping time.

Are the intel platform differences worth the wait?

In my opinion, it really boils down to whether or not Thunderbolt is important to you. Thunderbolt could potentially simplify your "docking" process in terms of I/O. If you don't plan to move the laptop a lot, or if you just only intend to have a couple of things to plug/unplug, then the impact of Thunderbolt is pretty low. You also have to factor in the cost of a good Thunderbolt dock to justify using it to its full potential. If you don't have a specific need for it, then I am quite positive you'll be equally satisfied with the AMD model.

edit: Though, if you are on the fence, try chatting with one of the sales folks on their site's chat. They might be able to get you quicker shipping, I've seen it before.

Just wanted to point out that 2560 x 1600 is 1600p, not 2560p. It goes by the vertical pixels, or categorized by the lower of the two dimensions. So the title would be incorrect and misleading as-is, but would be more accurate with that small change. Thanks for the post!

I would use it mostly as a mobile gaming rig. Docking and power saving not that important, in game performance would rank higher along with any possible gain from having the OS SSD on PCI 4.
