Alan doesn't run, he walks slowly with a flashlight.
FYI, this isn't the 14.5" OLED version you seem to have, this is the larger 16" version with IPS 1920x1200. That's part of why it's so much cheaper than the ~$1200 the 14.5" is currently selling for.
Nice, but yearly membership fee is $49 :-(((

How well would this run Starfield? Native performance as well as maybe on a 1440p monitor.

You could get a $50 promotional credit with that $49 membership if you purchase by 10/31 and then cancel renewal.

From what I can tell, this is an early access for Plus/Total members that will eventually open up to non-members as well, so sit tight. For those with the membership already, though, or have use for that $50 credit that @Wildpir8 mentioned to offset, this is a good deal. The promo credit will not arrive until November though and can't be used for this particular transaction, so the usefulness to people will vary.

I have this laptop and playing starfield on it lately. You need to drop res to 1920x1200 to get decent frame rates. I play on medium settings and get around 70 fps on planets and 80 while flying.

The problem with these 14.5" oleds is that there's no adaptive sync so there's some tearing. It's not horrible with v sync on but it's there. So you either choose a g14 with some light bleed but no tearing or a slim 5 with oled beauty but with tearing.

Thanks! Do you remember what the frame rates were like at native resolution, let's say at medium?

I'm pretty set on getting a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop and want to make sure I can run Starfield well, but not sure if I want to wait for a 4070 deal or what.

It's going to yield very similar performance to PS5 / Series X.

1080p medium settings around 60 fps. Probably just slightly lower running at native WUXGA resolution. 1440p high settings on external monitor should yield around 30 fps.

It supports DLSS which is coming to Starfield which could help a lot at higher resolutions.

I purchased an Acer Predator Helios 300 (i7 10750H 6 core 12 threads) with RTX 2060 6GB, 144hz 1920x1080 IPS display for a similar price of $900 in 2020. I recently changed out the NVME to a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB and upped the RAM from 16 GB to 32 GB DDR4. It has served me well, but the battery life is pretty poor now, and the performance of the machine is a bit sluggish in the latest AAA games. I'm thinking about purchasing this laptop. Seems like it would be a decent upgrade.

The posted laptop has a 1920x1200 IPS panel, a pretty mediocre one at that. If this was the Slim 14.5 with the OLED, it'd be an insane deal but alas.

That CyberpowerPC laptop had nice specs for the price for sure but also quite a few downsides compared to this Lenovo:

1. Poor battery life
2. Large, heavy, and bulky for a 16" laptop
3. Tiny touchpad
4. No overdrive mode for the panel resulting in high response times
5. Feeble speakers
6. Grainy webcam
7. Fuzzy microphone
8. Last-gen CPU
9. Thin, wobbly lid
10. Large chin
11. Lack of customer support from Cyberpower

I was referring to the Asus laptop deal not the cyberpower.
