To be honest I'm not sure given the Walmart listing be a bit of a conflicting mess lol. Doing a quick comparison on Lenovo's site didn't return any meaningful differences so I'd personally err on the side of caution and assume the lowest specs listed, similar to the previous deal.

Really good deal for its value right now, given the specs and the lenovo legion build. But since 2024 laptops are just 2023 laptops renamed, and upcoming 2025 laptops offer huge upgrade (new CPU out already, 5000-series nvidia GPU in a few months) I guess people are just holding out.

don't brands assign different model numbers to the same exact models when sold in different retailers? that could be the difference between the model names/numbers.

How big are we talking

I only buy laptops once every 10+ years (as opposed to upgrading desktop parts more often)

Would mind holding off a few months of I can get better performance for the same price.. But if the new parts are really that much better, then we probably won't see similar pricing/performance for about a year?

I would say bigger than the jump from AMD's 6000 to 7000 (zen 4) on laptop (note that 8000 = 7000 renamed, as mentioned). All thanks to the push from ARM.

We are talking about average battery life jumping from ~5h to ~10h, almost doubled (or in some extreme cases ~20h if you do all sorts of battery saving possible.) This generation is believed to compete with ARM's battery life.
CPU performance won't be much different though, just a lot less power-consuming. iGPU will be a bit stronger than AMD 780M from current gen (780M is about 1050 so I guess the new 890M will be about 1060).

For comparison, I have a laptop with 7840HS, and surfing the web on balance mode consumes ~8W, while the new gen intel CPU consumes 3-5W on average.

So the biggest upgrade comes from the insane battery life. Intel and AMD are quite comparable this gen because intel finally ditched their own fab . If you care about raw performance while plugging in, I don't think it's that much, but don't forget that's just the CPU, there'll be the new 5000 nvidia dGPU too.

All of those mumbo jumbo above are from the limited testings done by reviewers and advertisements so far. The next gen is still new, and really different from previous gens, so maybe it still needs some more time for mature results. In the mean time, you can just buy 2023/2024 laptops and capitalize on that sweet extended holiday return period while waiting for more reviews of the next gen of course.

Edit: that's not to mention the new AI thingy that Microsoft is trying to push. Whether it's useful or you like it or not, it's still a new different thing I guess.

I think your comment about new things not seeing a similar price/performance for about a year is spot on. It will take time for laptops with new specs to hit this price point.
This is a good laptop for the price. Very good even. I would say though, that with Black Friday 7 weeks away, that there will be plenty of opportunities for similar deals soon enough.
I'm not thread crapping. This IS a good deal. 8845HS, 4060, 350 nits, 100% SRGB display, 2 slots of upgradable RAM, 2 M.2 slots.... that's a solid laptop for $850.

indeed, reviews are coming out but i will still buy and at least hold this until close to return period. if lenovo has zen 5 and nvidia 5000 series parts at reasonable prices by next month then i'll return

but my guess is they'll be $1500+ with only a minor discount until next fall

right i guess my thought process is that i don't have a laptop now, and i'm looking for the best laptop at a price point now (it being sub $900)

if i can wait 1 year, i might as well wait 2 years or more until there's this unicorn of peak performance/price that happens to be easily avail and much cheaper

or i can buy this reasonably priced one now and use it until several generations later then just pick the right time to buy

Thats what I'm thinking. I would like a new laptop but with nea AI technology about to be released in the upcoming time not sure if I should buy or hold.

its gonna be awhile i think...... prob around summer 2025. and FULL PRICE. Might be holiday 2025 before you see any deals on the new 50 series GPU. theyre not reinventing the wheel with 50 series..

I think right before they release a new GPU IS the BEST time to buy laptops. .
