Is it worth waiting for a deal on the ones with the stupendous QHD (or whatever it is) / 165hz / 500 nits screen? Although not sure that's 17 inches... so might be an unfair comparison

500 nits?, are you sure? Alsi there is no guarantee that they'll do a discount on that spec.
I would think people who buy this they'll do it mainly for the rtx 3070.

Best price I've seen with these specs

They're referring to the Legion 7/ Legion 5 Pro confusingly, the regular 5 gets only the 1080p variant displays

The Legion 5 Pro has the better screen than the standard 5 for sure, but it's 16'', not 17'' like this, and the cheapest I've seen a 5 Pro with RTX 3070 card is circa £1,500 (with employee perks/student access).
All things considered, I'd say this is a good deal, but I'd still choose the 5 Pro personally (either paying £1,500 for the RTX 3070, or circa £1,100 for the RTX 3060 version).
I've had many Legion laptops over the past 6 months, and I'm not sure there's an awful lot of difference between the gaming performance on the RTX 3060 or 3070, or even the 3050ti variants. Depends what you're playing of course, but I've tested with stuff like Cyberpunk, MS Flight Simulator and Death Stranding, amongst others...

Yes absolutely! However that's the 15". I have that version and I paid £1199 for the 2k version on a deal from here. I wouldn't pay more for a 17" FHD version with a lesser screen.

Well sort of. The 5 pro I ordered was cancelled and I know the same happened to at least one other. But yes the 5 pro 3060 was £890 recently and I don't think they were cancelled

I ended up getting the Legion 5 Pro 3060 for £825... Albeit they refunded £112 for sending the rubbish RealTek WiFi card, but it was £925 before than anyway. I've seen 3070 pro be had for the price of this 17 inch laptop, so not the best deal. But it's the best at the moment.

Complained to customer service. When I search my order it says Intel WiFi 6, but they sent RealTek :D. Bought the Intel one for £15, thanks Lenovo!

Does the 5Pro have a 3070 upgrade? Can't seem to get it even after upgrading CPU to R7

The 5 Pro earlier on in the year went for this price and even cheaper if you got a 10% refund for the wait time on the custom builds for 3070 configs. Any 16GB/1TB SSD/5800H/RTX 3070 L5Pro would've been sub £1250, my maxed out config barring a single 1TB NVME drive as I had others to swap in was £1340 in august.

Doesn’t mean it will again and they normally sell out quick or have long waits.

Still working but they seem to be having website issues. This is the URL: lenovo.com/gb/…586

I have updated the main deal link - not sure what is going on with their website!

I'd avoid the AMD Legion 5 Pros like the plague. I have one, and I paid £1600 for it and the touchpad is faulty. They replaced the whole keyboard and touchpad to try to fix it and it is still broken. It's a known issue they are not admitting to and have no idea how to fix. About once or twice an hour the left hand side of the touchpad becomes unresponsive or freezes for a few seconds. Also, the touchpad sometimes reacts like you are multiple touching it, so context menus come up. If you use a mouse it doesn't happen.

I'm on it now and it's doing it right this moment. SO. ANNOYING.

Ive been after this or a 3060 pro for a whole so finally purchased. Can anyone recommend some 32gb good ram for it? I've had a look on crucial but it doesn't seem to be very easy to identify the lenovo model.

That's what I'm doing. I've only had it three weeks.

It's so close to what I want and at the right price, it's just missing the QHD. Such a shame. And the legion 5 pro that has the QHD seems to be sold out everywhere, or priced far too much
