I do notice this says QHD but the Lenovo Legion 5 pro has WQXGA, but supposedly it is still QHD.
Can someone clarify?

I do recall someone saying the colours will actually be better on this Acer too, but not sure I can believe it

the legion 5 pro has a 140 more pixels as it's slightly wider.

The W in the legion stands for wide/r which is where the extra pixels come from.

However the Legion has 500 nits compared to 300 in the Helios, so it has a brighter screen.

If you want the best screen the legion has the better screen I would say. But I have the Helios and the screen is fantastic so it may not be worth the extra to get the legion

How much better is the £1700 rtx 3080 150w Vs this 3070 130w of the same machine?? Thanks (edited)
11th Dec
I'd say +20/25% in games performance.

Anyone think the 3070ti is worth another 300 pounds? Paypal finance is interest free so its very tempting
11th Dec
No. You will get 10-15% more powerful, for 30% more £

Cold... Doesn't have infinite teraflops of RAM.

Am I doing it right?

Paid £963 for this on the last deal via Very.
Very happy with mine, especially for the price I paid.

That's an insane price

Prince Andrews laptop of choice.

Actually made me laugh so hard mate.

Is this the best price around for the 2022 version? Also, is it likely going to go much lower when the RTX 40 series shows up?

it is the cheapest i can find for now with the xbox pc pass deal, even without the xbox pc pass deal it is still 30£ cheaper then elsewhere example argos has it at 1199£. i dont think will see a significant drop in price when the 40 series is released.

edit: 40£ cheaper (edited)
16th Dec
Finally decided to go for this and price is back up to £1699.97 Can anyone please recommend something similar spec around 1000 - 1300 mark ?
16th Dec
Laptops direct may have a pricing issue 3080 model same price as 3070 3070TI most expensive. going to give them a call.
16th Dec
Pricing correct Very tempted to go for 3080 model for 1699.97 Would value any opinions before I commit.
