What's the output of that charger?
It will likely charge it but only in sleep/powered off.

Looks like we need 65 to 100w charger

I can confirm it charges via USB-C when using a 100w USB-C PD charger with the laptop powered on.
I get a "slow charger" warning but it does charge.
The 300w charger that comes with the Legion 5 is massive, so it's a nice option to be able to use a smaller and lighter charger for work.
It does not provide enough power for gaming however.

What about video editing?
To clarify, you can game, but it's essentially power limiting the laptop.
On world of warships, on battery I get around 30-40 fps.
100w usb-c around 80 fps
300w charger that came with it - 190fps.
Give it a Hoover every now and again.

I've ordered the Legion 5 (non pro) with a 5800h/16Gb/3070 (130w). Pretty much same specs as the Legion 5 Pro version I missed out on. I couldn't be bothered to wait for the Pro to come back in stock seeing as some here have been given dates months away.
Not too fussed on missing out on a 10w more powerful 3070 and the higher res screen. It should be more than plenty for what I need. The screen being 1080p is fine for me as it will mean I will have more GPU headroom to play with. It's still 165Hz, 3ms, 100% srgb and Gsync/Freesync so that's a bonus.
Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow to have a play with on my day off!

The build is better on the Pro with an all metal chassis iirc.

As minstadave says its a metal lid with Pro, different design lid too with led on with the Pro.
Less led stuff on the normal. I think you lose a USB port on normal but gain a SD card reader.

Well spotted!

Well that sucks. Despite having notification setup. Looks like no 3070 model
Yeah looks like they went out of stock again this morning. Might be worth keeping an eye on it though.

Cheers mate. Thought I'd be ok with notification email. Will keep checking mornings.
How do you get 20% student discount? I've got student email, all setup through student beans and lenovo education, get to checkout and no discount on the pro?
