This laptop is imo the best 5060 15/16" on the market at basically any price point. Only thing it needs is more ram (one slot open so just drop another 16 GB in) and a second SSD installed (has a second slot open for that).
Build quality is great basically the same as the Pros imo same keyboard as well I believe, screen is just gorgeous, battery life for a gaming laptop is good at 6+ hours of normal use. And over the Legion 5 pros this has rear battery and HDMI which if you have never had before are game changers for day to day use and longevity.
Is this worth $200 more than the microcenter legion for $800? Only difference is the OLED screen
Oled's are amazing. It will look much better Almost feel like it takes up the quality a tier in resolution. Just depends on of the image quality is worth the cost for you.

Imo yes. The OLED screen is dramatically better. Like "You couldn't buy a gaming laptop with a screen this good 3 years ago for any amount of money" better. Also if you plan to keep it for more than a few years, the extra brightness is important as all monitors have fade over time. 300 nits may be bright enough when brand new in indoors conditions, but after a few years that can dip to 2-220 or even less and become awful to use.
Man, what a shame. This a pretty great laptop for this price point, especially since it has an OLED display and has Legion build quality, but as usual Nvidia ruined it by putting only 8GB VRAM in the 5060. It's fine for 1080p but not for 1440p+ which this screen is using...
They screwed us over even more since jumping up to 5070 still gives us this limitation, and 5070 Tis are way more than just $1000.
At least the 5060s can be found for cheap like the micro center one.

This looks like a good deal but I've never heard of this website before. Googling shows mixed feedback regarding returns and shipping quality.
Can anyone vouch for this website?

Do not buy from the link OP provided. Antonline is a popular seller on Ebay and Walmart (probably other places too), and a quick Google search shows a thread on Reddit full of people talking about their experience with this company. It seems like you'll get the product, but their returns are sketchy. Walmart's page for this exact deal says they have "Extended holiday returns. Holiday returns until Jan 31", and when you go to return this device, you can do it in person at a store (probably also take some pictures of the condition of the device for proof, in-case Antonline still disputes it).

This laptop is great though, like someone else already said. Great screen and comes with extremely accurate sRGB and DCI-P3 color profiles from Lenovo so you can use it for color work. Processor is a bit worse than some other SKUs with the HX 300 series but good enough and pretty efficient bc it's AMD.
Good cooling and overall just a very solid light and thin gaming laptop that also works well for photo/video and other color work.
I just ordered one of these, but are there any current black friday deals that I should consider instead of this one? I am trying to compare and contrast right now. Trying not to spend too much more than this but would love something better.

I appreciate your feedback, confirmed what I found when I searched.
That said, I'm sharing my experience for future buyers:
I tried buying through Walmart but it wouldn't let me do the PayPal pay later and get 20% off. So I rolled the dice and took video opening the package.
The package was shipped through FedEx, and arrived without any issue or damage to the boxes.
It came double boxed. (The Lenovo box inside a bigger box without any extra padding, so it can rattle around).
The laptop is well insulated with styrofoam inside the Lenovo box.
Laptop feels good quality and has no issues either.
My overall experience was positive, maybe they upped their shipping QC to match how they sell on other platforms.

Full powered 115. I THINK it even has boost past that but can't 100% remember based on my brief time with my cousins.

Also the OLED weighs a little less I believe.
