Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Dr.Wajahat

Has been cheaper before: https://slickdeals.net/f/17069668-lenovo-legion-slim-5-laptop-ryzen-5-7640hs-16-wuxga-144hz-rtx-4060-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-900-free-shipping?src=SiteSearchV2Algo

No reason to buy at this price especially when the 7840HS with QHD display was just $50 more 2 days ago.

I got the 7840HS certified refurbished version. Looks pretty good. Only thing is that it always fails to upgrade BIOS from Lenovo Vantage. Ended up with an invalid firmware. Luckily, it has a feature to detect and recover from the broken firmware. So, all is not lost! :whew: There has been threads online speculating that it is due to a very small EFI partition. And you will have to do a fresh windows install to be able to recreate a larger partition for it. Just wondering if you folks who got the brand new ones have the same issue or not.

It was meaning in the past. Doesn't mean it will come back in the near future. Also there is an open box Excellent option that is cheaper for $860.

It's holiday season and it's definitely going to be cheaper in the coming days.
