Easy way around it. Hub!
Predators are not like regular Acers. And it's not like there's class action lawsuits like with Asus gaming computers.
Which, so far the Legion 5 Pro is the winner. Much better graphics performance and comparable CPU. And it just looks and feels so much better than the GF66.

Probably got sued
Now there is a decent gap in benchmarks - except the DDR5 in the Predator performs between the DDR4 in the MSI and Lenovo.
And the Predator is loud and doesn't feel as nice as the Lenovo. The Lenovo feels faster/snappier in normal tasks, the keyboard is nicer, etc. I'm trying to decide if the performance actually justifies keeping the Predator.
Predator: $1274
Passmark 8170 Timespy 11390 Timespy extreme 5556, Passmark memory: 2882
Lenovo: $1099
Passmark 7148 Timespy 10374 Timespy extreme 4986, Passmark memory: 2681
MSI $1199
Passmark 4962 Timespy 9029 Timespy extreme 4644 Passmark memory: 3017
I already boxed up the MSI.
Edit: ... and I boxed up the Predator. This final straw was all the DTS/fancy audio stuff causes latency for guitar games and apps, which will see heavy usage. Long Live Lenovo! It also actually works with my 4k TV for HDR and 120Hz which the Predator didn't seem to manage.

I also managed to score dual-ranked RAM for it.
Called Walmart several times about this..no remorse, no apology, the moron rep said he will make a note of it., Sent both back, will shop elsewhere.
