Quote from falafel23 :
From previous threads, this laptop generally comes with lower rank memory that limits performance. You will want to upgrade to unlock its full potential. See here: https://youtu.be/8XCeAdFqsKg

Also, this thing doesn't have an integrated webcam, and no MUX switch either. There were a few reports of driver issues that your should be aware of, nothing major though.

Overall, this is a pretty solid deal, especially if you are trying to avoid Lenovo.
Hmm is it true still? Thought they replaced new batch with better ram. Not sure though. Read it somewhere before

The description says max 32GB of RAM, but I put this in it and it works great: G.Skill RipJaws DDR4 SO-DIMM Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 260-Pin SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 CL22-22-22-52 1.20V Dual Channel Memory F4-3200C22D-64GRS https://a.co/d/hGUVOze
Dual rank by the way.

I also replaced the Wifi card with this guy: WiFi 6E Wireless Card Intel AX210 NGW Bluetooth 5.3 Tri-Band 5400Mbps Network Adapter for Laptop Support Windows 10/11 (64bit) M.2/NGFF https://a.co/d/foujIRf

This is the updated version of the model with liquid metal issues and crappy ram. That was the 5900, this is the 5980.

Bought it last month and been putting it through the ringer - runs like a champ. Can't beat it for the price.

The only issue is the wi-fi card is just plain bad. It appears to be a driver issue that hasn't been fixed yet so it's recommended to just replace the card.

intel 12th gen are powerful but suck at battery life

there's was last year LENOVO LEGION 5 PRO with a Ryzen 7 5800H and RTX3070 for this same price that I would honestly get over this just because of the insanely good 16:10 display

while this is a monster performer it has been this price multiple times now

you hjave to be sure of what you need the l;atop for, CPU workloads, get an intel.... battery life get this
it heavily depends on the games but the 6800m is generally within the ballpark of a 3070ti
While I agree that the Legion display is perfect, this one has QHD as well so it's not like you're comparing it to the conventional FHD. The one thing about the Walmart deal that stood out for me is the optional 3-year accidental protection plan that you can buy for only $88. If I can get that same warranty on this laptop, I'd pick this over the Legion 5 Pro.

I spent all day playing Fortnite on this on the silent profile using the latest AMD drivers and it works well. However the table was very hot afterwards. You can see my Passmark scores on the last thread this was offered on.
And is it in fact silent when used that way?

Does anyone know if the USB C port supports display port so the laptop can drive two external displays?

You have 90 days for laptops, just take it to your nearest walmart with your receipt, unless you bought it from a 3rd party on their site then I have no idea how that works.

How long does the liquid metal stay effective? Anyone ever replaced it?

I like the 12gb beam for video editing but wonder if cuda on 3070 to would still be better.

That legion pro is going to be better overall, unless you're always using an external monitor anyways.

I wanted to buy this but since it has no number pad, I ordered the Legion 5 Pro Walmart deal.
