If you don't have epp, I would pause and think about it. If you do have epp, you cannot get 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD, 9900X3D with the GPU for this price today.
I can't tell if this is an appeal because the parts are different than the one I got. But I paid 4200 before tax for the Legion deal same memory same storage but it's a Intel 285K it just feels expensive?

True, Legion was Intel and didn't have the clock RAM speed of 6000MT/s with RGB, 4TB, Wifi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, PSU ATX 3.1 and 9900X3D has more L3 cache(gaming) so I had to pass on it. If someone just wants RTX 5090 with high end Intel, Legion was the best.

Yes, I was so surprised. Legion had the regular ram no RGB so Lame.
But the Legion had a much cooler looking RGB on the top side of the 5090 GPU, though that looks really cool and sick!!!. My legion is clocking 4800 mt ram speed after upgrade to 128gb now. Sucks
I was able to sell the 5090 GPU and get a decent price for it! I sold it cuz I got my Legion 5090 and it was a better spec overall.
Now I got a Omen 45L without a GPU and I can't use RTX 2070 (power connector) so I put a "borrowed" a 5080. Man 5080 is slow as hell compared to 5090...
Need to find a use for this Omen 45L. Maybe I can try the Intel 32GB cards if they are good for inference as 5080 16GB is just way too little VRAM.
edit: seems to be crappy speed with the Intel "Running the Qwen MoE (35B) model on a single Intel Arc Pro B70 32GB card yields between 35 to 66 tokens per second," -- 5090 ran 230 Tokens per second.
I need to find the power cable to put a lower end video card in it for now.

4800 mt/s is likely good for most people. However, it looks like you are doing some advanced stuff by adding an additional 64 GB. Don't use the 45L for any AI work. Use it for other productivity and smaller applications.
ai bubble wont justify this price ever why is this posted here where people are trying to save money and find real value not get scammed by hedge fund fuks that owns this website. go away ai bubble scammer.
sell it to ai datacenter bros.
like seriously why are millionaires using slickdeals go get ripped off and help the economy.

Nothing advanced, just needed more ram and not chug too slow and I think it's worth the upgrade if it does save me some time.
I will strip it my Omen and leave it at 32GB RAM, just not sure what I want to use it for yet.
Looks like Intel B70 32GB VRAM card is very very slow on LLM inference so I won't be getting that after all.
think 5070 TI 16GB is good value if I just want Omen as a secondary machine since it's basically free at this point. apparently it's just 15% slower than a 5080 16GB.
The 128GB is for another 5090 machine (Lenovo Legion).

It it justifying it for 6+ months now? It will continue. There is no slowdown on spend and there won't be. No one wants to be left behind even if there are no clear ROI yet because no one will get fired to chasing AI right now but CEO will get fired if they don't spend on AI - guaranteed.
LOL You think millionaires don't like deals? I guess you're not a millionaires. funny to ask someone else to do something.
I'm pretty certain the guy who bought my 5090 Card is reselling somewhere for a higher price. IDK where but he paid a pretty good price well above what I thought I could sell and more than what many people here thought. I'm helping the economy somewhere, one reseller at a time... lol.
