How is this deal compare to the Walmart BF deal Lenovo Legion 5? The main difference is cpu and battery. Is it worth $50 to switch from Ryzen 5 5600H to this?
WIth so many variants, I can't be sure it's the same. But I did look at a Lenovo IdeaPad 3i with a 250 nits display at best buy. I googled this 82S900H6US model and references say it also has 250 nits display.
I went to BB again to check out the Acer Nitro 5 but I also looked at the ideapad that they had on display. I swear I adjusted the screen to 100% but one of the employees came over and I asked them if the screen was really that bad. They then did something and the screen became quite a bit brighter. It still wasn't great but workable. I have also purchased the laptop deal from Walmart (Legion 5). I chatted online with a Walmart rep and they told me I can open the box, which I did. I have checked out the computer and while the screen does not get super bright, it is good enough and has a decent viewing angle. It could be just a fluke because I believe both laptops have the same screen. I've gone full OCD on trying to get my kid the best budget laptop so I also purchased the ideapad gaming 3 from Amazon. I don't know if Amazon allows you to open the box so I used a heatgun to remove the seal on the box so I could check it out. The screen seemed slightly brighter than the one on the Legion 5 but the viewing angle was not as good. The Legion 5 definitely has a better build and feel even though the keyboard is exactly the same. the Ryzen 5 6600h in the ideapad was noticeably faster than the 5600 even though I was only starting the laptop into Windows setup. The Intel I5 in this deal will blow either Ryzen CPU away. I didn't set either computer up because I will be returning one of them ... or both if I get the Acer (which actually has a decent screen). Anyway, hopefully none of that was confusing.
