Been using this laptop for a few months now. I've got it docked to my 3440*1440 144Hz monitor and it's been running games flawlessly. My desktop PC is a 5900X, 32GB & 2070S and that's not been switched on in over two months. Very tempted to sell it and just use the laptop as it's actually faster for gaming.

Mine arriving on Monday. unfortunately I'm away and there's no way to reschedule it latter in the week.
The site (Lenovo) only allows this if you are in the US, rang the depot (UPS) , they said ring today. rang today they said the delivery had to fail before I can reschedule it.
Great system.

Got it today.

What bag did anyone get for it. (if you got a bag obviously) I got a 17" bad for the other Lenovo we have to allow room for the Power supply etc.

I found a lot of bags intended for 15.6" laptops weren't tall enough because of the 5 Pro's 16:10 screen. I ended up with a Logik L16CQL16 from the high street chain for £25.

Yes you can order the extended warranty when it arrives.

My shipping date for the Legion 5 pro keeps slipping, so tempted to cancel order and get this instead.

One of the reasons I wanted the Pro was the 500nits screen. We've a bright sunny kitchen, and I wanted to be able to work in the Garden on nice days.

Now having got the laptop, its working out great for that.

Anyone using a laptop stand holder for this which is plugged into a monitor?

No. I'd like to see people's set up. I intend using mine with a monitor at times. I was using KVM switch but it failed. Now I just swap cables. I but it takes up a lot of space. So I've bought a new bigger desk. But not built it yet.

I'll be buying one soon, should have some space for the air exhaust.

Yeah Lenovo machines warranty are against the device itself, so if you ever sell it it's transferable without sending any other details to the buyer etc. Can extend for 3 years with different types once you register it.

Just for info, after the long wait so far, I emailed customer service asking for a discount for the delayed shipping and they offered 5% without hesitation.
I'm hoping for the free copy of BF2042 also.

Have my second one arriving today after UPS lost my original machine. Original order was 3070/32GB, managed to get another one but only 3060/16GB sadly - but a lot cheaper.
