Don't think you'd get a full wattage 3070 Ti with a great screen cheaper than this.
Sadly, it's not shippable.
Yes the keyboard deck did get warm fast.
However, at this price, it's a finr value. Performance was very good. As a desktop with external everything, you can look past all of that. If you do external monitors, screen should be kept open for cooling the beast. Pity because the keyboard was excellent and the computer doesn't flex anywhere
Oh the charging brick rivals the biggest ones you've seen.

Otherwise this is a solid deal.
They need to refresh the chassis. Complete garbage

Notebookcheck check shows 135W TDP and performance is average for 3070Ti. Timy spy shows 10700 points . For Legion 5 Pro, the same graphic benchmark shows around 12000 with full 150 W TDP. Link is below :

So far so good. Planning to use this for Street Fighter 6 on 4k Ultra settings on my OLED.
I have the laptop cooler underneath this for gaming.
Power brick is yugeeeeee
It has 2 nvme slot.
Ram upgradeable to 64gb.
I just wish the brightness is more than 300 nits.
Since folks want to know about the machine itself... My workflow has been to have it hooked up to the TV for most gaming and go on battery power for office tasks/Teams meetings/etc. Specifically, I've played Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p high-max settings and Stray and Subnautica at 4k max. Thermals have far exceeded my expectations. Running at constant 100% GPU, temperature never goes above 155F with fans on Auto on the performance profile. 165F for the CPU, but I haven't come close to 100% usage on that. I do have it on a glass table which probably helps a fair bit.
Compared to the TV (a calibrated OLED), the laptop screen is definitely washed out. My eyes definitely get used to it after a while. Brightness wise, I haven't used with sunlight directly on the screen, but outside around noon, the brightness was more than adequate. I suspect the same wouldn't be true in direct sunlight though.
Battery life is good enough for my office workflow. In the 4-5 hour range with all the power saver options enabled. Fortunately, it can be charged via USB-C if you don't want to lug the behemoth of a stock charger around (seriously, it's comically large for a laptop).
The build quality is definitely poor, but that doesn't bother me very much. I'd go gentle on the hinge if you want it to last. Other complaints include no num pad and no overclocking options as far as I can tell.
All in all, for a 17" with a full power 3070ti, you're going to make compromises at $1k. For me, it's certainly worth it (even if I can't get $100 refunded, it's still worth it!)
