Hahah... Looks like this was posted as a result of my comment regarding the post for the Lenovo Legion 5a (2026): 15.3" QHD+ 165Hz OLED, Ryzen 7 250, RTX 5060, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD $1299 - 2026-10-06. I still wonder which is better given price difference. Obviously the 5a is better than the 5, but is it $350 better...

For what it's worth, this is not a YMMV price. It's on their website. There is no dispute about it.

I think it is ymmv as it is in store only and it depends if you have a micro center near you and if they have it in stock. 4 hour drive to my cloest microcenter in the central us.

This is better so I'm in for 1.

Here's why:
$300 for an oled vs gaming IPS screen. No need. I love my oled Asus laptop but the difference is not worth $300.
This one has ryzen 7 260 with a top clock of 3.8ghz vs 3.3 on the 250.
Edit: I take it back. There are significant differences described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLe...av4Uu5OmAf

I don't need a gaming laptop, but this will be great for my little cousin so I'll still stick with the cheap version. If this is for me, I'll pay the extra $300.

I'm in Socal and store near me (Tustin) has 7 left.

You can reserve it online. You just need to pick it up in person

You haven't been paying attention to ram prices in 2026, I think. Smilie

That reddit post was extremely helpful, so thank you. The biggest issue with this laptop is the 20ms response time. That is HORRENDOUS for a gaming laptop. The Reddit post states that as a fact, but it's nowhere in the product specs (which are notably silent on that point). So I had to conduct an intensive investigation. Here is what I found.

1. Lenovo's official specification for the 15AHP10 says the 1920×1200 IPS panel is 165 Hz, 300 nits, 100% sRGB, but conspicuously gives no response-time rating. On the very same spec sheet Lenovo advertises 1 ms for the OLED and 3 ms with overdrive for the higher-resolution IPS option. That clues you in to the fact that they have something to hide.
2. An authorized Lenovo parts distributor lists FRU 5D11P88255 as the original LCD panel for the exact 83M0004JUS.
3. That Lenovo FRU 5D11P88255 maps to the AU Optronics B153UAN02.H panel. Another distributor explicitly identifies "DISPLAY FRU AUO B153UAN02.H" as Lenovo part 5D11P88255.
4. Panelook's database lists the B153UAN02.H as a 1920×1200, 165-Hz panel with a typical 20 ms Tr+Td response time. It also explicitly identifies Lenovo FRU 5D11P882.

So yes, the panel has a 20ms response time. If this laptop were more widely sold, I suspect that would be better known. As it is, I would strongly recommend against buying this laptop if you are a gamer (and if you are not a gamer, you are probably not looking at this laptop in the first place).

Your mileage may vary. Micro centers are few and far between. In store only means... you have to drive there. Your mileage may vary.

16GB DDR5 & 512GB are not enough. It's expensive to upgrade it.
