It's a gaming laptop and if you have all the power hungry devices running while playing a game then yes, you're not going to have a long battery.

If you want a laptop with better battery life then don't get a gaming laptop or turn down all the power hungry devices. People have easily extended the battery life on gaming laptops to over 5 hours by doing so.

Complaining about battery life on a gaming laptop is like complaining about MPG on your 500HP sports car.

Seems like a good deal. Legion laptops run hot, I have a lot of them. I have to use a powerful fan cooler underneath it, the $80 expensive one that has one giant turbine cyclone fan. Battery life is terrible, sometimes 90 minutes, sometimes 45, even in silent mode doing powerpoints.

All said, when the 5090s come, I'll still buy another Legion, I like them and their builds better than any other laptop brand.

In a few months this laptop should be much cheaper.

As previously mention, I think they are different models/SKUs, so they have slightly different configurations... maybe just to prevent "price matching" consumer tactics. MC has Mfr Part #: 83DE0049US, where as B&H has MFR #83DE0008US
Got it. Thanks for clarifying.

Laptop 4090 is barely stronger than a laptop 4080. It's nowhere close to the difference between a desktop 4090 and 4080.
I would say 4090 mobile is about between 10 to 20% faster than a 4080 mobile depending on the computer. I own the Titan GT77 HX with 4080 and is about 10% slower than this Legion with 4090. However, my laptop is big and heavy not as portable as this one. However, I still like mine due to its expanded internal, great cooling, mechanical keyboard and mini led 4K screen. This legion laptop is very good at cooling as well. I have played games on this AMD version with 4090, the keyboard is not even warm after long session.

Is this a smoking hot deal or am I imagining things? Though I'd argue most people don't need a 4090
This deal has been up since a week before Thanksgiving. I considered biting on it myself but decided I don't need a laptop right now. It was the best deal I saw at the time

I have this laptop, bought it last year. Battery sucks. Big power brick. The laptop screen is beautiful. Love the power, runs most games on very high performance. But honestly if I could
Go back, I'd probably just buy a desktop, it's not very portable due to the battery and the brick.

When I bought it, I couldn't decide between a desktop or laptop and went with this. Unless you have to have portability, buy a desktop for a lot less for same performance.

You can buy a spare charger like 240 w at much more portable weight for 80% of the 4090 performance. You can still play games on the go.

I use this cooler with this laptop. It's been a phenomenal cooler, but on the higher fan speeds that make the most difference cooling, the fan is incredibly loud and will be a distraction if you don't game with headphones on.

I don't think I've ever had a gaming laptop that didn't run hot.

Decent deal, but maybe not a smoking hot deal. If it was $2000 or under for the 4090 laptop, then it would be a hot deal. The laptop is well designed/engineered, with decent vapor cooling (compared to the legion 7i - non pro), decent keyboard, decent 16:10 IPS 240hz display with 100%DCI-P3. Keep in mind that the Microcenter SKU is slightly different than the one sold on B&H. B&H only has 1x 1TB M.2 NVME and Win 11 Home, where as the Microcenter version (more expensive) has 2x 1TB M.2 NVME (2TB in total) and Win 11 Pro. Also, note B&H's return policy on new laptops; once you open it, you can't return it unless there's a defect. Finally, another caveat with the pro i7 is that it uses an intel raptor lake generation laptop: i9-14900HX. These raptor lake generation processors (desktop and mobile) are known to have defects and could cause permanent damage. Intel has already acknowledge this issue and in certain instances offer warranty. It would be wise to make sure you update to the latest BIOS firmware update and/or update the microcode instructions to fix the issues with raptor lake processors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_Lake

"Raptor Lake CPUs have suffered issues with permanent damage from elevated voltage due to a vulnerable clock tree circuit, resulting in instability. Intel claims these issues have been since fixed in the latest microcode patches, which requires updating the motherboard's BIOS."
The mobile versions such as this HX are not affected. Only the desktop chips were, and furthermore like you pointed out are fixed with a bios update.

Can anyone who had gotten this or the RTX 4080 version confirm whether it's 1TB x 2? I'm curious why B&H listed just 1TB storage while Lenovo(non custom) and MC has 2TB (1TB x 2).
I have this laptop from Thanksgiving. It's indeed a single 1Tb NVME.

Of course, that means it's got an empty full-size, double-sided capable NVME slot left, so I threw in an 8Tb WD SN850x.

I got this one last year for $2500 untouched, opened for contents check only. If anyone wants this and saving another $200, you can have it for $2100 but you must pay shipping. Posting on marketplace this week also. My dumb ass just thought I needed it, I went with MacBook instead.

Open box has already been basically this price but from actual trusted sellers. Sell it on eBay. Hopefully no one dumb enough here to take you up on your offer.

Basically same one as @airecoos posted. It is loud but it's the only one I found that keeps the top of the chasis cool

I'm tempted to jump on this one. My current laptop won't be able to upgrade to WIN 11 and will most likely start having issues once Microsoft stops supporting WIN10. I like the specs but wondered if I should wait until after the holidays. Hmmm

I read that the HX and the desktop chip are essentially the same chip die. Lenovo already released a microcode bios update for the Legion 7i but not the Legion Pro 7i. Why they haven't released a bios update yet for the Pro 7i is a bit of a head scratcher...

You can pull up a list of affected CPUs from any trusted site, this won't be on it.
