I was excited to see the 500 nits screen in a Costco deal …
If you want gaming, I have a feeling you can get something with a 4070 at the same price.
DO NOT TRUST all of the comments here as this is a bargain search site and A LOT of commenters, I am NOT saying all, do not even have first hand experience of what they are talking about. Also, there is some BIAS here as this site gets commissions from specific store sale being posted. It is also very easy for staff or personnel of small stores and especially ebay items, to thumbs up and vote down those that compete with their posts.

If all you want is a one large screen then all laptops will give you at least one output that is high performance. Just note that those big screens also need to have a decent refresh rate as well. If you are running an old 60hz tv it will likely have some lag especially if you are running it at 4k resolution.
What you are describing however sounds more like a memory issue. If you are clicking on an app and its not being snappy, its likely swapping memory or something. Kind of like people who keep 1,000,000 tabs open on their browsers. They just run out of memory because each tab is like a new instance of the program. Your app, may be doing something similar. So I guess what you need to figure out is how much memory you are using? Several ways you can check that including the windows task manager. Check to see how much mem your app is using. But I do find that 16GB is a bare minimum for windows. 32GB helps a lot.
A less likely culprit might be your internet bandwidth but I doubt it. Stock software doesnt typically send tons of data on its own. But maybe your internet has high latency? Does it work well on just a single screen?
When you say you want something fast enough to run these monitors, will you be playing modern video games on them?
If not, then practically any modern laptop with at least 2 video output ports can run those monitors without an issue at QHD. Productivity tasks and video playback at any common resolution are child's play for any current gen GPU, integrated or discrete.
You can even run two QHD screens with DP daisy chain using just a single display port output, provided your monitor supports it, or with a USB-C hub.
That said, this Legion has a very fast CPU, 3 video output ports(supporting at least 5 external monitors total with DP daisy chaining), 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. There are 2 SSD slots for easy upgradeability, the RAM can be upgraded, and the Wi-Fi card can be upgraded. So this definitely covers your needs. But if you prefer something slimmer, cheaper, or with longer battery life, there are other options.
For example:

Refurbished, lower build quality, lower CPU performance, better battery life, better gaming performance, 2 year warrantee.

However, the screen is a lackluster and will NOT allow the machine viewing in HDR. so, this is a solid disappointment and a big pass.
Does not support HDR.
Avoid!!!
