Lenovo Legion 5 Pro

This looks very tempting. Some of the specs:
AMD 5800H
3070
16" QHD display 2560x1600
165hz
2 USB C ports

Apparently it's $1700. If this releases here for £1500, I'm gonna bite.

Says in the article and on the spec sheet the article links to that it has a 3070, not a 3080. I very much doubt it would be priced anywhere near £1500 if it did indeed come with a 3080.

"confirms that the Legion 5 Pro will pack 8GB of RTX 3070 graphics."

Sorry that was my mistake. Yes 3070 and with all those specs if it comes in at £1500, I'm in.

Hope this comes to UK soon

In a quandary. Go for the ASUS rog strix 5800H laptop for £1700 or wait for this... not sure if this will have the higher TGP of 115w-130w either or the gimped 80w... I need a new laptop asap, the article above says ready to order in match, doesn’t actually say release...

Someone has it in Singapore and doing some initial testing and first thoughts

i am also very tempted by this

Available to buy now, check hukd.
£1500. However some can use student portal to knock it down to £1350 and then use code UNIDAYS50 for another £50 so £1300.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to get notified when they become available

The way I found out was to set an alert on hukd with keyword 3070 above 100°

You can obviously set Lenovo. Someone will bound to post it if it comes back.

Is there anything else with this spec, particularly the 1440p screen? Really need that, but struggling to find anything else at this price point given so many laptops are 1080p. Shame the 5 Pro isn't available yet.

Thinking I might just opt for Macbook Air M1 at the £1500 price point. I don't really NEED gaming as it's mostly work use, but I can't be dealing with a 1080p screen on most options at this price.

This is it really: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...z-ryzen-r7-5800h-gaming-laptop-lt-2d3-as.html

Personally I'm going to try and be patient and wait for the 5 Pro to come back and hope I manage to snag it...

5 pro won't be coming back into stock for 3 months or more.

It was overordered and loads that contacted in the current queue had them cancelled and others told to wait 1-2 months.

Where did you see people being told to wait 1-2 months?

Hot UK deals

On reddit, someone said live chat told them 2-3 weeks... I don't think anyone reliably knows tbh.

It's a queue. There will be stock coming every few weeks and some are right at the back of the line.
