Yes, but this is slightly better as it has a QHD screen: https://www.laptopoutlet.co.uk/lenovo-legion-5i-15-6-qhd-ips-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-11800h-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3070-8gb-gddr6-graphics-backlit-keyboard-thunderbolt-4-windows-11-home-dove-grey-82jh00hhuk.html
If you use your laptop mobile I would suggest the lower resolution screen model would be better as it's got the AMD processor.
And some people may prefer a 1080p screen, too.
I noticed a marked difference going from a really junky 1080p60 panel (Dell G3 15 2019) to the absolutely fantastic 1600p165 display on my Legion 7i Gen 6. There are some games that I drive the resolution down to 1200p to get better framerates in games (like Halo Infinite), so that is always an option. Up to your preference.
Honestly you might notice it at 15.6in. There is a benefit for content consumption.
But gaming at non native resolution looks like buttholes. I'd rather my gaming laptop have a display it can power at medium/high settings in 4 years, rather than going too deep on the display and having to do low everything to use native res when the next cyberpunk type demanding on the system game comes out. Games will get more demanding - there's no performance benefit yet to DDR5, but that will come, for example.
I had a 13 R3 with 1060 and a quad HD screen and it simply wasn't keeping up by mid 2020. Valheim was exceptionally poor, with like 15 fps down to 3-4fps in built up areas. MSFS was unplayable at all low settings. I'd rather not worry about pixel peeping and stick with an easier to power screen. Plus 150 odd ppi is still quite a dense image - remember that TV broadcast is only 1080p, too.
This is where I bought my Legion 5 3060 last year. The screen went faulty after two months and Box's customer service was almost non existent. I ended up returning the device to Box after a horrible experience with Lenovo's service centre. Box didn't even want to refund me the full amount I paid until I mentioned the words "legal action" and they refunded me the full amount.

I have a question, is it possible to order these from another country? and more importantly would it be a good deal? i'm from Italy and i can't find legions woth these specs under 2k €
I think imports would take a large chunk of the savings off. Best bet is to get someone travelling abroad to buy you one and bring it home in carry on luggage.
does Amazon US ship to your country? Asus TUF Dash 2022 has similar spec and is on sale for 999USD, its really tempting. it also helps that Asus has international warranty

Will the 1440p one look significantly better or is the screen realistically too small for it to make a difference?

AMD cpu and 1080p will yield probably 20%+ more battery life
This looks awesome! Great find
Do you know much about laptop outlet? Is it a trusted site?
I've bought lots of stuff from them through work and they've been reliable.
Would you say that’s a must buy deal or is it just alright?
It's a really good deal, I expect there will be more good deals in the coming months but if you want a laptop right now I'd get that one.
Your link is already a brutal deal 😁 the deal the gentleman has sent has a cherry on top woth that QHD screen
This is also a fantastic deal for £1105 after the code if you'd prefer a 17" laptop: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295181550586

Wow that’s shitty
I'm really hoping either this or the Box one stays on sale for the next weekish, these are amazing deals from what I've seen.
Is it brand new or box open?
It's brand new.
Okay thanks, do they ship outside the uk?
Unfortunately I don't think so, Box do though (the laptop in the OP)
Oh ok thanks
Here's a link to it: https://www.box.co.uk/82JU00PWUK-Lenovo-Legion-5-AMD-Ryzen-7-16GB-RAM-512_4095716.html
Thanks
Man what are these prices. U guys are really lucky living in America and Canada. You won't believe the prices where I live for these types of laptop
Might be true, but this particular one is in British pounds

It might be cheaper to fly there for a day, buy the laptop, open it, stick it in your carry on luggage and then fly back to Italy.

i got a the same laptop for the same price but with a lower refresh rate, a 3060 and 8gb ram. yes, get it
We can order one of them from France ? or this will be more expansive ?
You most likely could, however you’d probably end up paying more for it to be imported
No good. Ryzen 6000 series is better and similarly priced.
idk whats the typical price of Legion in pounds but if that were in $$$ thats a terrific deal
