I got one of these for a Vine review unit. Compared to the older versions of the Ideapad Gaming, this one is very much more "legion-like" in terms of design. No MUX switch, the 8GB is single-channel (there's an empty 2nd slot), which is unfortunate given how expensive DDR5 is, even for a single 8GB stick. The wifi card I believe is a RealTek unit. The 3050 is I think 85W. Thermals are pretty good but that's because the hardware isn't too demanding for the cooling.

The 256GB is a gen 4 Kioxia BG5 but it's a 42mm, there is an empty 80mm slot that should be PCIE Gen 4, but for some reason any PCIE Gen 4 drive I put in it just seem to not work (it could be a problem with my unit, I don't expect this to be a widespread issue); gen 3 drives work fine for me.

There are models with a larger 60W battery, it should be a drop-in replacement if that's something you want to do in the future. Disassembly isn't too bad, but just be aware that you need to take the rear plastic bezel before taking the bottom cover off, you might want a spudger or guitar pick. I'm not a big fan of the redesign, I always felt that the older more "consumer-laptop-like" design of the Ideapad Gaming 3 was a bit less "gamery", but I don't fault Lenovo for moving it to a new design language.

It should be able to. I have the 2021 model, intel too, but physically they are very similar. It seems the pictures on this only show ports in a different place and because of that, the vent holes are different. The inside chassis though appears very similar.

If you see the amazon reviews, one shows the bottom removed and inside it. On the left/bottom of it, there appears to be the same space my older one has and I easily put a 2.5SSD in it. There's no reason you can't use the same size HDD too I suppose. I would go with an SSD unless you need the absolute max in storage - it keeps you from having moving parts and performance is generally better.
