OP didn't mention it but this is a light laptop (4.41 lbs) similar to the legion slim

Thanks, also just noticed only one RAM slot is upgradeable... I guess that's a sacrifice for slim and lightness

I would be a little worried about the thermals for the i9 in a slim form factor.
Not a bad price, but open box can always be a hit or miss.

The Legion is a better laptop than this

Can confirm this runs HOT, but it's thin and light so great for portability. Screen is decent, but trackpad is meh.

Used this for two months, great laptop but was lagging randomly for me. Lift up the back when using and it'll run a lot cooler, get a laptop cooler as well. Very thin and light. Upgrade the ram and you're golden

This is a nice laptop with a good keyboard if you don't need a numpad but as others said it runs warm which isn't a deal breaker but the fans running on turbo mode are so loud that I returned it. It's kind of obnoxious but if you need the slimmer form factor then it's solid. If you don't need slim get a legion or something else plus the 3070ti in this is a little underwhelming.
