Are you trying to confuse people? What is USB 4 "3x2" mean? I understand 3.2, 3.1 but now you say 3x2 and 2x1!!!

You need an enclosure, a thunderbolt 3 cable and port on your laptop (hence we are already excluding ryzen Legions) it's huge and you would be bottlenecking it.

It looks thin enough on render. Looks cool! Hope they will release a white version as well for aesthetics lover :)

I'm yet to meet someone who actually uses a gaming laptop without charger, randomly, in public locations for gaming, like a gaming phone. If most remain glued to chargers anyways, then why not try to plonk in a 3090 in it, even if it goes heavy and huge?
I myself have a 1060 laptop. How many times I took it out? Zero.
And I don't like this Max Q concept, even though a RTX 3080 base means it will still be blazing fast with most of merits as well!

It's the custom made models so you could lower the price a bit by choosing less storage or no OS etc...
But it definitely did happen for black friday and won't happen again anytime soon.
Being custom made means the ETA is around 6 weeks but I got mine in 3 weeks only, which is a small price to pay for such a big discount.

However, I loved the Asus TUF's build quality and keyboard, plus it was the same price, I just hated the performance. TUF is all plastic, but still impressed me a lot with its build quality, which is why I won't choose Lenovo again next time - and it won't matter if their entry-level laptops are $5000 or $500, because I know I can get a premium build (even if plastic one) from Asus.

Every brand has models like that (Acer has a 3080 in a very cheap full plastic chassis).
Personally I prefer a 16:10 16" display to a 16:9 17" display.

No matter what, I expect more for in this price range than what I got. That being said, I am fine with this laptop, it does everything I need and some, but Lenovo needs to step up their game a lot unless this build quality is normal with other manufacturers. But I will be thinking hard about Asus next time if they improve cooling and their laptops aren't so loud.

Solun1, 22 Dec 2021The build quality. I really don't know how to explain ... moreYou cannot buy a company's entry level laptop and complain the build quality is bad. MSI has very bad build quality on some of their full plastic entry level laptop, Asus too. Ultimately it depends on the price you're willing to pay.
I have ti Legion 5 Pro as well and the build quality is superb, probably better than your TUF. Its nearly full aluminum, only the palm rest is plastic, but it actually looks like metal. The assembly is perfect and there's no cracks and weird noises.
It's way ahead of the regular Legion 5. Then if you want even better build quality, the Legion 7 is full metal. But the worst is probably Acer. Asus TUFs aren't great either. HP Omens are decent.

Plastic toys from the Kinder Surprise egg have a better quality plastic than what Lenovo uses. Or maybe Asus Tuf series really is so superior in materials quality that people don't even know how good it can be. And Legion 5 Pro is cool but not available in a 17 inch widescreen version and offers worse specs in my region (but price is still great).
