It's worth noting the reviews and threads elsewhere about the included ac adapter not being able to keep the laptop fully charged while doing some heavy workloads or gaming. It will still decrease the battery and Lenovo's response to those reviewers is to "lighten the load", so, keep that in mind.

This has a dedicated videocard which is not mentioned in the specs you just posted.

Seems pretty legit for the specs vs price. If I didn't already wear out my Steam Deck this would be a no brainer.

It's one of the best budget gaming laptops especially at $599, it is a no brainier at $434, RAM and storage are upgradable which is a huge plus.

*EDIT: Corrections made.

I have the intel version of this with the 3050, and I've been happy with it. I upgraded to 16gb of ram and added an m.2 2280* 1tb (it comes with a 2242* in its own slot, and you can add either an m.2 up to 2280* or 2.5in sata drive). I did need to get standoffs for it. It comes with the thermal pads.

The performance is good, I've only had some slight trouble with heavy games like Halo infinite, which I run on low.

Apologies for my ignorance, but the usb-c is only data transfer, does that mean that I can't use the usb-c to add another screen? TIA.

I read some of the reviews, but still not clear, is it possible to run a 2.5" SSD and full sized 2280 NVME drive at the same time?

Not sure, it says 'unavailable' on everything except the $599.99 for me.
