Legion 7 & 7i: AMD R7 5800H or Intel i7-11800H, RTX 3070, 16GB, 1TB - $1,884 (25-27% discounts + Rakuten cashback)

January 10th UPDATE: The "DECEMBERCTODEALS" code has finally expired as well so this deal has officially run its course. I'll be expiring this thread today as a result after 60 days... wow. I'm happy that many have received their Legions and most have found them to their liking to date. My family certainly has. Hopefully this thread can live on for a while in support of all you Legion owners who can still pitch in and help each other as well as give any good tips or ideas for these great laptops. I know I still will.

All the best to all of you!

Original post:
The Legion 7 and 7i are one of the most highly rated, if not the best, gaming laptops on the market today by most accounts and reviews. At $1,883.57 before taxes, after rebates for the Ryzen 7/3070 configuration, the entire Legion line is currently on a good sale. These gaming/media editing/engineering laptops are extremely well built with full powered, vapour chamber cooled 45+ watt CPU and 140 watt MUX'd dGPU on the 3070 (as well as Hybrid/Optimus iGPU), an excellent 16", 16:10 aspect ratio, 165Hz refresh, G-Sync (Hybrid off) & FreeSync (Hybrid On), 1600p QHD+, 500 nits colour accurate (100% sRGB) pre-calibrated displays that come in a rigid, all aluminum chassis with smooth glass trackpad, per-key RGB & individually addressable case RGB LEDs, understated lid design, 7 hour battery runtime on AMD (4 hours on Intel) and more.

AMD Legion 7 or Intel Legion 7i:
I'd recommend the least expensive equivalent build available at your time of purchase since these are so similar in actual performance, but keep this in mind:

• Choose AMD if battery life matters to you or you'll ever need more than 4 hours of runtime (7-8 hrs vs 3-4 on Intel).
• Choose Intel if Thunderbolt peripherals matter to you or if you want a slight performance advantage, cooler CPU temperatures or PCIe v4 storage support (on 1 of 2 slots).
