How exactly is it better configured? It has a noticeably smaller battery (70Whr vs 99.9Whr), gimped 5070 Ti (115W VS 140W), slightly inferior build quality; if anything, it just has a more powerful processor (Intel Ultra 9 vs 7). Also, neither the new nor the refurb is available anymore for those prices.
I have the previous generation of this laptop with the 4090. I paid a lot more than this (obviously) but it's been the best laptop I've ever used.
Community Reviews
The Legion Pro 7i stands out as a premium 16 inch gaming laptop with top tier build quality, strong thermals, and a higher wattage RTX 5070 Ti. The OLED display, 32GB of RAM, roomy battery, and polished extras like a glass trackpad and better speakers make it feel more upscale than cheaper MSI or Acer alternatives. The main knock is price, since similar or better configured Legion and Acer deals have appeared for less, including models with Ultra 9 chips and 2TB storage. It is a strong fit if you want the nicer chassis and features more than the lowest spec per dollar.
The Legion Pro 7i is described as having top-tier build quality and thermals that outperform competing laptops in feel and performance.
The Legion Pro 7i is reported to support undervolting that can cap the RTX 5070 at around 80W under load.
The Legion Pro 7i is said to include premium hardware details like a glass trackpad, better speakers, and aluminum accents.
Lenovo warranty coverage is described as strong, with onsite tech service and multiple component replacements after extended coverage.
The deal price is criticized as not competitive because similar-spec MSI and Acer options can be found for much less.
A comparison argues the Acer Predator Helios Neo tradeoffs include a smaller battery and lower-wattage GPU, which can make the cheaper configuration less compelling.
Thunderbolt 4 is reported instead of Thunderbolt 5, and the laptop lacks fingerprint or face unlock features.
A warranty-focused buyer notes that budget laptops like the Legion Pro and Helios S should not be expected to last many years without planning for coverage.

I had the same view until I ordered both (Legion and Acer Helios) and Legion is much much better.
Despite the specs, the Legion performs and feels like a tier higher.

I just wish this wasn't that much more lol. Aw well, I don't actually need a laptop.
Walmart has MSI Vector laptop with similar specs for $1299 (new but with 16GB of ram), and Acer frequently has some refurbished alternatives on eBay with 32GB and OLED display for roughly $1350
I got in on that Acer refurb and I thought I was good, but it was not. USB C connection issues with controllers, screen flickering with display port, random reboots. I could have played with it for another week, but sent it back. The Legion Pro 5 that it was replacing, 0 blue screen / random reboots. That's probably why it's $500 cheaper and this is new...
