Personally I'm not in love. It's not that it's a bad price or computer, it just depends on what you prioritize. But just a few days ago you could get (for a week with Walmart) a Legion 5 15.1" with a 500 nit Oled screen, a ryzen 260 and 5060 for $950 new. The screen on this is pretty mediocre in terms of brightness which is a big deal to me. Also that 14th gen i7 likely means atrocious battery life for even basic browsing/video watching if that matters to you.

The only real complaint is the same with most gaming laptops, Nvidia crippling the GPU by limiting it to only 8GB VRAM. This means this won't perform much faster than the 4060 TUF for $250 less that's brand new. Particularly at 1440p if you plan on using this as a desktop replacement with a better external monitor. Older games may work with it but settings may need to be turned down or DLSS enabled for newer titles.
Agreed, this though is slick. 5070 Ti for 1229 open box excellent.

Also wouldn't buy this for a teen assuming we are anywhere near college. The battery life is just going to be atrocious for school.
