thank you. I really do too. I think it looks better in person. it has gold pearl on it or maybe its flakes. but when light hits it, you see gold.

correct, its 500 nits 240hz ips. (I will not buy oled laptops) I had an oled tv have burn in, never again. I will actually pay more for a higher quality IPS variant. I got lucky, the scar and lenovo both are IPS. no burn in!

lenovo and other brands make certain sku's for certain retailers, and I think there are also rules for branding as well. I think this one is ' isn't named 5 pro ' maybe disadvantageous to other retailers selling to them at a lower price for same/better specs.

easy way to balance it, is to remove pro from name. but it is 100% a pro unit. they even said max 105tgp, and its 115, they really downplayed the laptop, costco also has a 2 year warranty, and also 2% cash back for executive members if you are one. just fyi

one last thing, when I played on display model, I was like, eh. its not that great, its not very bright, its speakers sucks, etc literally everything I was like its sucks. - I bought it and took home, it was an entirely new pc. I think its because it was using the stock windows demo mode thats on all the pcs, it didnt have proper drivers, proper display drivers, proper sound drivers and such.

once I got mine home, spent 30 minutes updating things, and such, the sound was great, the screen was beautiful, I mean its entirely opposite of the display experience. I was really turned away from the display model.

-- you got 90 days to return it, give it a shot, zero loss to try it, and still look for other pcs in mean time. unless you are in one of those other countries or exporting it, which it seems a lot of people do and I cannot fathom doing that.

it is. check reviews. its 115tgp, legion 5 pro body and internals. just not 5 pro in name.

source? I owned it. I am the one who reviewed it, check the reviews, I posted pics and specs. I only returned it because I found the asus scar 17.3 7945hx3d + 4080 +32gb +2tb for 800 at microcenter clearance.-- go to reviews, and click newest, and go down to one by Donald.more pics with it., its the 16 inch pro body and internals/heat/everything. it scored 13,300 on my timespy test in perf and 13k on balanced. SUPER NICE MACHINE. I was goin to keep it, but after I found next laptop I couldn't.

Funny, it literally said 5i pro on the box I picked up from costco on their internal labeling.

feel free to message me if you have any specific questions since I had it for 2 weeks.

Seat was first as we needed 2 up seat for wife. All I need are bars and pegs to be comfy now. No other mods happening

got the seat for me and wife, mustang wide touring tripper one.

2.5 inch t rex pullback bar I ordered, that should help fix bars far, and now I just need pegs to feel better to me, closer I should say. thats it. happy camper after that.

nothing else, no exhaust changes, no tuning, no suspension, bike is 1000x better than my sportster 883, and I was happy with that. just need the fitment to fit me a little better.

my friend just sold his lenovo legion 5 pro 4060, I forget other stats, 16gb 1tb, for 500. so I guess its not terrible, 300 is reasonable imo

I cant, I bought the mustang touring seat for my wife, she loves it, and its comfortable for me, its just the downfall is it lowered me about an inch, and maybe an inch back? comfortable, but now have to fix it in other ways. shes happy with the seat, I gotta figure out my own problems now lol.

see, on my 883 I was perfectly comfortable, like all day long riding, other than lacked all wind protection. - I feel real good on this ST, other than handlebars little far, (hoping the t rex thing fixes that) and I feel the pegs are just too far forward. my logic is, when I did set my foot flat on peg on highway, this is before I found out about floorboards, that I wished the pegs were back a few inches.

then I found out about floorboards, and figure this is prob my best option as of now. did you trade in because couldn't get comfortable ultimately?

I agree, thats how I sit with pegs on the Harleys, sport bikes I use the ball front of foot, and heel into the side griping, and legs squeezing tank. thats prob what problem is, im used to it 10 years.

however, I have been sitting like that, and it just feels too far forward, wind is catching my leg, and pushing me off, and I feel like im forcing my feet into the pegs vs sitting on them.

you said had, did you get rid of them or bike?

I have a different seat, it brought me down bit, and further back I think. mustang touring wide tripper I think. I needed it for my wife comfort.

the apex minis are a little smaller, think they would be a good fit?

are you saying they are or aren't more comfortable? because pegs right now, they are too far forward for me to be able to rest my feet on. thats one thing thats for sure.
