[truewraith]

i was going to buy one of these laptops but i can only afford the first one, should i wait till i can get the 2nd one or is there difference not much and maybe i can just add another 8gb ram later?

anyone info would be amazing as i dont know much about these

Lenovo Legion 5 17 (2021) AMD Ryzen 5 8GB RAM 512GB SSD Nvidia RTX 3060 17.3" 144Hz

sorry guys for the lack of info. and i can be terrible at these pc specs etc these days and thank u for the help, i will use freemake video editor a little but not much and mostly ebay via web and play games such as world of warcraft and gta online and ark,survival evolved which is a crazy demanding game graphics wise and i just hope the ark game works ok which i think it will

and i always look for 17 because i thought 15 would be too small but that might be just me having always had desktop pc's. so if 15 is better in certain ways then i could do that and i didnt know that the ram was in x2 4gbs. even though i narrowed my laptop choice to legion i didnt know there was going to be so many versions lol, i just want to get the best i can for my budget which is £1250 atm

That budget will get you an in-stock Legion 5 Pro with a Ryzen 7 CPU, 16GB RAM and the excellent 16" WQXGA screen that Kohaashi mentions. The only downside is just 256GB SSD but there's a second slot so it's easily upgradable when required.

I also see that the second option in your OP is available from OcUK for your budget.

thanks but i cant seem to find the one your talking about on Oc site !

should i wait for the Legion 5 Pro 16 to come back in stock instead of buying this
