Note for potential buyers, the CPU (R7 7435HS) does not have an integrated GPU so the battery life will not be good. Also still uses Zen 3 instead of Zen4 so performance is very good but not amazing.

Just a consideration if you don't intend to use it as a desktop replacement. Other than that it looks good.
First thing to do is to remove the pre-installed antivirus and just go with windows defender and the the free malwarebytes... its all you need. Next thing to do is check for updates in the vantage app, update (I dont recommend bios updates) and then uninstall the vantage app. The next thing to do is download Lenovo Legion toolkit here:

https://github.com/BartoszCicheck...tag/2.21.3

That is essentially Vantage but uses much less resources.

The next thing to do is type "Startup Apps" in the search bar in windows 11.

Disable everything except the realtek audio driver and the windows security notifications.

Reboot..

Next update your geforce drivers (open geforce experience).

Next, install the xbox app and xbox accessories app if you are an xbox controller user and gamepass user.

Next, go into nvidia control panel and make sure in the settings that power management mode says "Maximum performance"

Next, make sure enable G-sync is selected for the laptop display in nvidia control panel.

Next, download steam, gog, and epic games and make sure to get your free weekly epic game (farming sim right now).

next, if you are gamepass user, download the new Hellblade 2 to test your system, its a next-gen game that looks insane on this laptop. Some games are crashing with RTX ray tracing enabled (Witcher 3 for example).

next, go ahead and type startup apps again and disable anything except the mentioned above..

Lastly, remember to user the FN-Q keyboard command often... if you are not gaming, make sure the power light is on blue...

I grabbed the last one at my local Microcenter and was able to combine with new members $100 off laptop. My last laptop was ine of the discount Dell BF G15's from 2017 with i5 and 1050Ti Mobile so it's been a while since I've done any product research. 99.9% of use is desktop replacement so I don't think the lack of iGPU is a big deal for me. Aside from that, are there any other concerns I should be mindful of or are there any other recommendations for $800?
