Do you know what kind of ram is in it? I heard on an older model it uses a bad rank 16 ram and the guy on YouTube replaced it with a rank 8 ram and it improved performance

Yes it has the mediatek mt7921 network card, i do not have problems with it, it does get pretty hot when i run performance or turbo mode but fans are powerful and a bit loud, i don't mind though. temps are about 90 on cpu and 85 on gpu max settings
edit: forgot to add the RAM, i'm unsure but it's running at 3200mhz and it's SODIMM
edit 2 : found out via command prompt MTA4ATF1G64HZ-3G2E2 Micron for the RAM

Someone in another thread mentioned the newer version with the updated CPU may have the Mux switch in Armory Crate. That would be nice, if true.
Did you try different/updated drivers for the sound breaking/high pitched noise? Was it the speakers? As for the line down the screen issue as well, did they tell you what the root causes were for these 2 RMA's?
How good is the RMA process in terms of turnaround time and the condition in which you get the laptop back? Is it all pre-paid shipping labels or did you have to pay one way?
The nice thing about going Lenovo Legion route is they offer extended warranties up to like 5 years, at a reasonable price. But I've also read folks who tried to get replacement parts under warranty only to be told they were out of stock.
At $1099.99, this G15 Strix is a pretty strong, competitive offering, if you manage to get a good one that stays good. I'm kind of worried about reliability long-term.
[I figured the 6800s and 6800m were about the same
Thought i was getting a better machine buying the g14 6800s since its newer... Also $400 more.
Should i have bought this instead?

They do not tell you what the causes is but my panel got replaced. They did a poort job gluing the frame to the panel as there was a noticeable gap. It doesn't affect the panel as it is small but you can run your finger over it and tell there's an air gap. Turn around was 2 weeks. I had to pay to ship to them.
I bought this laptop when it was $1600 and I still love it. It is a graphics powerhouse. I use an air cooling pad when I use the laptop on my lap and am gaming.
I just upgraded the RAM to 32GB and it is working great. CRUCIAL 32GB DDR 4 CL22.
One thing to note is when you lift the back case, there are two cables that are attached to the mobo which need to be disconnected. They are the LED light cables for the case.
