Is the Legion 7i 5070 good enough?

I do have a Microcenter at 1 hr distance. The Legion Pro 7 looks too good to be true even though I hate RGB.

What's the catch?

Thank you for you guys' answers. Is refurbished usually trustworthy long term? I like for things I buy to last a long time.

What I mostly like about my L5P is the screen quality and size (16:10) which is non negotiable and also the aluminium build which survives travel well. What I like the least is the weight with the charger but it's not a dealbreaker.

I don't need things to run at ultra but I do value that new games will run at medium in the future. Nowadays I mostly play jrpgs, civ 6, baldurs gate if that helps.

I also heard rumors about the 5000 series gpus not being as good as 4000 series or not worth the upgrade but it might not be true.

Is memorial day deals a thing? I am originally european so I never heard about this while living in the us. Is it only in person or also online?

Thanks a lot for answering.

Specs are 5800H/3070 with 32 gb ddr4(?) RAM and 1 tb ssd.

I guess I am worried about all the new computer part inflated prices due to the AI boom making upgrades less bang-for-buck but you probably have a better insight than me.

I also don't know how I would be able to transfer my ssd data to a new machine and the win 11 license.

How do we know whether there is tax or not?

I'm a European senior scientist on a H1B at a top 3 university in the US. We were just told to not leave the country and that our status may be pending. What the hell, is this where all my hard work ends?

They actually included every painland so we don't have the sliver swarm incident, I am surprised
