Turns out the marketing material and the docs for the AMD Gen 8's were not properly written when they released. The Ram is Samsung DDR5-5600 running at 5200mhz and if they had just allowed manual ram configuration in the BIOS then this would of never been an issue. Also the 4 pipe cooler they use is barely capable of cooling the 7700x, so I'd not expect the 7700 to get too high of a boost clock.
This is important to note for everyone from the comments on Lenovo's website:
"Lenovo has disabled XMP on this machine which means you will NOT be able to add any additional memory and set the speed more than the default 4800MHz."
"Disingenuous about their ram speed and upgradability. Ram doesn't run at full speed. Bios is super limiting. Can't upgrade ram while remaining in warranty. And no ram is available that is within warranty, meaning there is no upgrade path to 32 GB while remaining in warranty. It's deliberate misrepresentation. It's false advertising. The product page even says you can upgrade."
1tb version for $30 more

I know a lot of people can't or don't want to build, but DIY price is still a good reference point. For literally $10 less, you can get the same cpu/gpu combo, with twice as much (and faster) RAM and 4x the storage, plus 50% more PSU and be pretty well future proof.
A 7700 with 16gb and 500w is pretty cramped, and for no savings at all.
Vs buying a pre-built there's generally no questions asked especially if the itemized line item/receipt says Legion T5 Gen 8 Desktop.
Certain parts like ssd, ram, etc can be written off without issue. But you're going to get into a grey area when you have other parts that are clearly unnecessary.
Will the 500W power supply be enough if i put in 2 HDDs? Wanting to make sure a USB port or anything isn't laggy.
I'm mainly going to use this for video editing via Adobe Illustrator / GoPro footage.
-any specific deals on RAM, I would get to a total of 32GB. I'm going to get the 1TD system & then clone it to a 2 or 3TB NVMe.
