Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Price tracking shows this is the going price for a while now. If you want to pick up from a B&M store, or really want this HX i7, then fine - but if you're looking for a deal on a Legion 5, watch Lenovo's Outlet. They frequently have these (at least in the 'Slim' variant, which is not all that slim and I believe shares a chassis/form factor with this unit anyway) around this price but with 4060 or 4070 GPUs. Sometimes refurbished, sometimes 'New'. https://www.lenovo.com/us/outletu...8%3ALegion

Okay, will check it out.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it!
why 4050 on such a high end CPU... need minimum 4060 for this price point
Guess you'll have to OC the GPU and hope for 4060 performance

But doesn't the HX kill the HS line from AMD?? Seems like a massive downgrade.

Massive upgrade in terms of battery life.
I'm no expert, but I don't see an HS CPU being the bottleneck when you're working with a 4050 or 4060? Even 4070? 🤷 ♂️ I was actually specifically looking for non-HX processors because when I'm not gaming, I want to actually be able to use the laptop as a laptop for more than 10 minutes, and when I am, I don't see a 7XXX or 8XXX holding me back. YMMV. I actually just ordered a Ryzen 7 8845HS, 4070, 32GB RAM, 500 nits 240 Hz screen, New Legion 5 Slim from the outlet for <$900, so with this deal you're paying $100 more, for a maybe faster processor and a significantly worse GPU, screen, battery life, half RAM, etc. Yes, I got lucky (which was just checking outlet stock every morning for about a week and a half), and that specific unit isn't available now, but I can't see going with this HX/4050 over HS/4070, for me, at least.
Also a chance of the HX being silently part of the 13/14th gen Intel over-voltage issues, depending on who you believe on Reddit. (Again, 🤷 ♂️)
