I was able to get Walmart to refund the $50 price difference as a price adjustment, because I took delivery of it just 7 days ago (didn't even have to do the hassle of a return-rebuy).
I posted a bit of a mini-review in the other thread if anyone is interested. This thing is NICE, especially if your uses are more than just high-end gaming. Bought this for a daily driver, playing the occasional game, so the 60Hz screen doesn't bother me at all. Extremely well built machine for the price. I'm throwing in some more memory and a 1TB SSD, and it should last me a few years.
I'm looking to upgrade my old laptop, mostly for coding and data science homework but would like a gaming machine for my kids as well. Is there a better deal out there than this one? I'm willing to go up on specs if it means up on price to meet 'The Sweet Spot' of value and performance.
Nothing comes closer to this lenovo legion 5 specs with 17.3" 100% SRGB screen and great thermal and 80wh battery. The legion 5 is probably the best overall budget gaming notebook out there. Hp had $450-$500 15.6 Inch gaming but it was very bad compared to legion 5. I had 3 hp notebooks they all lasted only 1.5-2.5 years. Everything I had from hp ran super hot.
Interesting that one of the photos on the listing indicates 1080p 144hz. I see so many walmart deals on laptops with big picture / description discrepancies.

This is the latest legion 5 laptop right?
Would you say the thermals are better for light tasks like reading a pdf file or excel. Because I had the legion slim 7 and it would turn on occasionally. The sound of the fan was not pleasant. I'm hoping with this bigger chassis the sound would be smoother
My purpose is for occasional gaming, but mostly productivity. I don't mind throwing an extra 8g ram if that makes it better

I agree. HP is a mini space heater. Even the business line!

It is the current generation with the improved cooling. Seems to run cool and quiet when used for websurfing and office tasks.

For you I'd suggest getting RTX 3060 equipped laptop, because it has double the performance, useful for machine learning and gaming. Just make sure the 3060 is the 130w tdp version for full performance.
This is an ok deal. I got this early 2020 for ~$800 after taxes and it has a better screen and 16gb ram. Added a 1tb WD ssd and now I have tons of space. Still, at this price point there isn't anything better and Lenovo is a good brand.

Either add a second similar 8GB 1Rx16 module (mine had a Hynix original module), or pick up a couple matching 8GB or 16GB chips.

Is this a better deal? Don't care about screen size as I'll use an external monitor. Other specs look similar.
Deals like these are the sweet spot:
6 cores (5600h)

2 more cores (5800h):

17 inch (5800h):

But that 8 GB of memory, if upgradeable, that would be wonderful.
