Unless you have your mind set on a NVIDIA 4000 series laptop and want to sell a kidney for it, I'd call this a pretty good price with cashback on top (7% at Cashrewards, though it might be worth waiting for a better rate if you're willing). As far as I can tell, this beats out the previous best at $1949.

        It's the difference between 16GB and 32GB that costs $79. Not the whole 32GB :D

    Nitro 5 with 4050/4060 looks promising.

    • shellshocked on 21/02/2023 - 07:20

      Unfortunately the Nitro's chassis is lower quality compared to the Legion Pro.

      • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 21/02/2023 - 08:30

        That's fair but I'll take performance over chassis quality.

        • oshkoshjosh4 on 21/02/2023 - 15:10

          It's not just the chassis. Generally lower tier laptops have dog thermal solutions, so you'll end up with lower clocks.

    Why intel cpu cost more?

    • shellshocked on 21/02/2023 - 06:47

      Probably because the Intel marketing development fund needs a return on investment.

      • shabaka on 21/02/2023 - 08:38

        no because they have an early retirement program

    Waiting for the 13980HX model this year , double the 6800h benchmark , I hope few hundreds bucks may worth the upgrade .

    • shellshocked on 21/02/2023 - 06:54
      +3

      The 13980HX has a max TDP of 157w. That's more than a lot of desktop processors. The 6800h has a TDP of 45w. I thought it would get more than double in a certain benchmark, considering it has 8p cores and 16e cores, compared to 8p cores of the 6800h, but it must be thermal throttling due to such a high TDP and can't be kept cool enough inside the laptop chassis it was tested.

      • mctubster on 21/02/2023 - 07:32
        +3

        Cool and quiet Intel CPU's are not. AMD still the leader here and if you want to game in a thermally bound device like a laptop you are better off with an AMD that is not thermally throttling and save the cooling system for the GPU, since most games are GPU bound.

        • Sinnerator on 21/02/2023 - 07:51

          Not to mention heat kills electronics, so a laptop constantly getting t-throt will most likely have a shorter lifespan.

        • 811b11e8 on 21/02/2023 - 08:30
          +2

          My work laptop Intel i7 thermally throttles all the time. The i5 version in a cheaper older laptop outperforms it in real world, because the thing throttles if you do any task that takes longer then a few minutes.

          Laptops all about thermals not cpus I would look at the actual benchmarks of the laptops not the CPUs in them.

    • wombat81 on 21/02/2023 - 09:04

      It's a massive unit for school. But you could always look at insurance instead of extended warranty since it'll cover theft and accidental damage too. My son's policy is about $100 per year with a $100 excess.

    3060 in 2023 is not really selling. Should have at least 3070 or 3070Ti for 1440p gaming.

    • MuddyClear on 21/02/2023 - 08:58

      They are still selling 1650 in 2023

    • FireRunner on 21/02/2023 - 12:07
      +1

      The 3060 is ok at the moment but it might become an issue in the future. 6GB of VRAM is the most concerning part imo. Driving a 1600p display on new release games may prove too limiting. DLSS may help out but it’s not ideal to rely on upscaling

    • syousef on 21/02/2023 - 17:53

      You can spec it up to a 3070 (non Ti) for $500. Quite steap. At least they aren't gouging on the memory, but adding a 2nd 1TB SSD is $624. Makes me want to swear.

    How does this deal stack up against the one from last year?

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/743629
    Lenovo Legion 7i - Intel Core i7-11800H 16GB RAM 1TB SSD RTX3070 165Hz W11H(ebay.com.au) - $1999.20

    Is it worth holding out for another deal that good or is this one pretty comparable?

    • wombat81 on 21/02/2023 - 11:34

      I'm not an expert, but I'd prefer the R7 over the i7 all day. Do the factory upgrades in the first comment here and you'll have a beast.

      • FireRunner on 21/02/2023 - 12:02

        3070 is a fair step up from the 3060. Particularly the extra 2GB of VRAM is going to help in new releases.

        • wombat81 on 21/02/2023 - 12:04
          -1

          True, but the throttling that the i7 is likely to have might offset that?

          • FireRunner on 21/02/2023 - 12:10

            @wombat81: The i7 doesn’t throttle. The Intel based Legions use Liquid Metal instead of thermal compound which seems to resolve thermal issues that usually plague Intel CPU gaming laptops

            • wombat81 on 21/02/2023 - 12:11

              @FireRunner: Fair enough. I'm not familiar with them, but keeping intel gaming laptops cool is a big challenge. Sounds like Lenovo must have a decent design.

              • Shwiloo on 21/02/2023 - 12:39

                @wombat81: I'm pretty new to Ozbargin, would it be reasonable to expect the deal I linked to pop up again, semi regularly? In short, I'm not sure if it's worth holding out for a legion 3070 at a similar price or just pouncing on this one, you know?

                  @Shwiloo: I'm sure a similar deal will happen again. Hard to say how long you'll have to wait, though.

          • Brrrrt on 21/02/2023 - 15:08

            @wombat81: Mobile went up to 10nm a generation newer than desktops mate, 11800H do not have noticable temp problems over the 5800H.

            What the amd chips have over intel chips is that they scales better at lower, sub 40w workloads, have better igpu and battery life, its not to say the 11800H dont have gains over the 5800H neither - faster gaming and esp 1% lows thanks to the bigger L3 cache and that they scale better on higher wattage use case.

    I was about to order this a couple of days ago but was told there would be a 4 week lead time, plus another 2 weeks for delivery. Not something they advertise.
    Last year I had an order cancelled and Lenovo couldn't give me any further discount than their web site discounts to accomodate me on another machine. They wouldn't accomodate this time either even with the machine spec'd up for a 3070, 32GB RAM.
    Then I had someone very pushy follow up from Lenovo follow a couple of hours ago. "When are you going to place your order?" 12th of Never you pushy *******. Then when I said I wouldn't be due to the lead time he said it was a week then quickly changed his story to "only up to 3 weeks".
    The 40-series laptops are just around the corner now, and I'm cheesed off with Lenovo. Although according to Jarrod's Tech the new models have gone backwards in some ways. I'm not sure I want a Lenovo anymore. Their service and quality seem to be going downhill.

    The Lenovo Savior 2023 series is expected to launch soon, with the Y9000P featuring Intel Core 13th-generation processors and 140W fast charging. Reports suggest that the device will also feature a new big Y logo. Official data indicates that the new generation of Y9000P professional gaming notebooks can output up to 250W of performance.

    This series of notebooks is expected to be comparable to the Legion Pro 7i series notebooks, as previously reported by IT House. They feature the latest 13th-generation Core CPUs and RTX 40-series graphics, with an optional i9 + RTX 4090 flagship configuration. The notebook’s display features a 16-inch 2560×1600 IPS panel with a refresh rate of 240 Hz.

      R - AMD, Y - Intel (Here its the 'i' at the end of the model), 7000P - Legion 5, 9000P - Legion 5 Pro, 9000K - Legion 7, 9000X - Legion Slim
