Another Costco deal. This one is £200 more than the Ryzen 5 4-series one, but is much much better deal. This has 12th Gen i5, and 3050Ti, 165Hz Screen, and 2.3kg only. Bargain at £700!

sorted byA 1660ti is more powerful than a 3050ti, and comes with 50% more VRAM.
Agree the CPU is better, but overall don't think this is worth the 40% higher cost.
Edit: Also this is a Lenovo Gaming chassis rather than Legion, so lower quality overall. (edited)
Agree with the build quality comment though and also don't think this is worth and extra 40%.
I almost exclusively buy 17" laptops nowadays. They can still easily fit inside a rucksack and the weight is acceptable. I tried using a 13" laptop and it was just horrid to use.
If you need something smaller, just use a surface pro! (edited)
Some of the comments on here seem to be really criticising this laptop. Is it actually a better laptop than the Legion 5 or just a not-as-good-as deal from a value point of view?
It really boils down to what you need the laptop for. (edited)
