This is a 16 inch gaming laptop aimed at desktop replacement performance, with the 330W power supply pointing to a higher wattage RTX 5070 Ti setup rather than a slimmed down version. The 5.5 pound chassis is fairly typical for this class, and the RAM and storage are upgrade friendly with two SO DIMM slots, up to 64GB, and two M.2 slots. The OLED panel and strong cooling are the main appeal, with similar Gigabyte models showing high frame rates and reasonable GPU temperatures. The main knocks are the bulky charger, the 12GB VRAM, and a 1TB SSD at this price.
The 330W power supply suggests this laptop can be configured for higher-wattage GPU performance than thinner models.
The laptop supports RAM expansion using two SO-DIMM slots up to 64GB.
The laptop offers expandable storage with one PCIe Gen5 M.2 slot and one PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 slot.
Price matching at BestBuy can improve the deal and enable BestBuy credit-card financing.
GPU performance may be capped by BIOS settings and thermals, so wattage checks are needed to confirm full-performance configuration.
The charging brick can be heavy, which can reduce portability for travel use.
USB-C charging can force the CPU into low-power mode even with 100W, making full performance impractical while charging.
A similar CPU/GPU model reportedly suffered motherboard failure after about 2.5 years, with symptoms like power and logo but no POST.

5.5 lbs isn't a brick for a 16" laptop unless you are trying to compare it to macbooks or something. Plenty of gaming laptops at this size push into the low to mid 6s lol.
5.5 vs 4.5 isn't brick vs not brick, and yes actually gaming laptops have a whole lot of requirements other systems don't. Your old M16 was top of it's class and priced to match at the time. And importantly it was specifically a thin and light downgrade, it ran slower than the "bricks" in the gaming category.
Almost everything with a gaming laptop is a tradeoff, physics doesn't care if you have unlimited money, it takes room and weight to evacuate the amount of wattage in heat these machines put out.
Anyways, yes I guess if you don't know what you are getting into with a gaming laptop the weight might surprise you. If you do though, 5.5 lbs at 16" is within a half lb of standard. Not like this is a HP Omen that breaks 6 lbs on 16".
What issues did you have with your Legion 16ACH6? That was my last laptop with a 5800H/3070 in it, and I loved it, curious what went wrong for you as I sold both of them to a friend maybe a year ago and would like to give him a heads up. I would take it apart every 9-12 months to clean the fans and stufff, never really had heat issues.

Anyhow, I bought a warranty (after 5Y from manufacture date, they don't offer it), waited >30d and submitted a warranty repair blah. Board was replaced. That lasted 2 years, and exhibited the exact same failure again. I don't travel with it, it would reside in two places, my lap (on a cooler pad), or the table next to my chair.
This all being said, my wife has an identical laptop, purchased 3 days prior (I liked it, decided I needed an upgrade from the 7577), and it hasn't died yet. It runs hot as F, but the fans are clean, and we're supposed to trust PTM to be "forever!", but here we all are.

Man that is crazy. I wonder if i avoided this because at around the 2 year mark I went into both mine and my wifes (we also had identical ones lol) and pulled the heatsink entirely and repasted/repadded everything. That sucks dude. Really frustrating when you do everything right in terms of cleaning and stuff and still get wrecked with heat like that. That 5800H plus full power 3070 was a lot for that chassis honestly, and you definitely couldn't do low temp solder with it...

This only applies to gaming laptops with discrete GPU's, but that shouldn't even need to suggest that any laptop with a discrete GPU = gaming laptop = big heavy brick. AMD Halo strix, Apple silicon, Intel Panther Lake all have igpu's perfectly capable of playing today's games and can be found in slimly-built laptop chassis'.

You shouldn't. Unfortunately the current gen Acer Helios Predators have really bad quality control and build problems, even by ACER standards. Which is why Acer direct has flooded the Helios Predator on ebay refurb.
