2022 Helios 300 Review: https://youtu.be/WP3pK-x4ta4
2022 Lenovo Legion 5i Pro review: https://youtu.be/xK1HbpUoxyE
Main differences I can see: Helios has 1440p 16:9 300 nits screen vs 1600p 16:10 500 nits screen on L5P. 16:9 is more theatrical screen so better for watching movies and YouTube. L5P has taller and narrower screen so better for gaming and web browsing while YouTube and movies will have black bars on top and bottom and will effectively reduce your 16" screen to about 13". Helios 300 screen is not as bright, but I notice I never crank L5P screen to full brightness indoors, it's just too bright unless you have a ton of sunlight in room, but it's nice to have option. This particular Helios 300 has 240hz screen vs 165hz screen on Lenovo. So lower resolution, more movie theater aspect ratio screen, lower brightness, but higher refresh rate than Lenovo. People have their preferences on screen ratios but IMO a 16:10 (taller) screen on Lenovo is superior and more immersive in games, but you can't go wrong with either one.
Helios 300 has wifi 6, L5P has 6e.
That's all the difference I could find. At native resolutions, Helios 300 should run faster since it is a bit lower resolution than Legion. Both have very good cooling and in benchmarks at same resolution, Helios 300 squeezes out a few fps more than Lenovo.
It looks like BestBuy has disabled open box sales for this laptop. Would've been an absolute deal of the year if you could buy this open box for $1200 or so.
In the days of the 7.2k spinning drives ram was way more important, now if you need to pull from a drive you are reading data off of a super fast m2. With modern code being able to prefetch as well as it does etc its really not going to matter much. There are definitely applications where its needed though but not really gaming imho.
