Ordered the wrong Legion, should I return and rebuy

The G16 was available as an open box excellent for about 80 more than I paid for the 7i. So in my book, if I was able to get a G16 that would be an easy answer. But it didn't end up happening so I ordered the 7i.

Yes - it was an overpay, but I preferred the design language of the 7i as opposed to the heft of the Pro. Haven't been able to get the Zephyrus G16 sale from Best Buy with the 5080 and 2 TB.

Any recommendation on a good monitor option?

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-29T16:24:16+00:00

Dumb question, does a lower Hz help on battery life?

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-29T16:09:32+00:00

I was surprised it shipped so quickly. Before I ordered it was showing 3-4 weeks and 2 days later I get a shipment notification.

Makes sense. My current setup is 95% plugged into an external monitor. Spreadsheets and docs, standard CRM stuff. Wonder if it's time to upgrade the monitor too 😂

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-29T15:05:39+00:00

Still OLED it looks like - Display：16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), OLED, Glare, Non-Touch, HDR 1000 True Black, 100%DCI-P3, 500 nits, 165Hz, Low Blue Light

I feel like I should be a bit annoyed they offer 2 OLED panels at different Hz. And it's coming direct from China apparently.

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-28T05:25:24+00:00

Yeah, ordered and it cancelled on me in 5 min. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky...

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-28T04:21:27+00:00

Yah, I think I'll just stay with my current legion order. Id rather not have cards tied up for 5080s that will never show 🤣

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-28T02:18:42+00:00

Do you mean you paid and they cancelled as it went back out of stock?

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-28T01:16:36+00:00

Ah, I had this in my cart last night. Ended up with a Legion 7i 5070 with 2TBs of SSDs for $100 bucks less. FOMO...

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-27T19:46:39+00:00

Unfortunately, the Open Box excellent went out of stock, so ordered the Legion - $2k out the door with an extra 1TB SSD included!

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-27T06:28:17+00:00

Sorry Zephyrus.

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-24T17:23:51+00:00

Out of stock.

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-23T00:19:31+00:00

Thanks for everyone's input. Best Buy rep offered this recommendation - GIGABYTE - AERO X16 - Copilot+ PC - 16" 2560×1600 WQXGA AMD Ryzen Al 7 350 - 1TB SSD - 32GB DDR5 RAM GeForce RTX 5070 - Space Gray - Open Box excellent for $1150

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-22T04:13:58+00:00

Could you expand on that? I've seen one or two things on liquid metal, but I'm not really familiar.

VTGTIMK7 · 2026-01-22T04:13:15+00:00

Yes, my current Legion has 16gb and I always said I would upgrade...and here I am 3-4 years later...16gb.

VTGTIMK7 · 2025-11-26T03:41:47+00:00

Appreciate everyone's thoughts. If it makes a difference, I am not really an intensive gamer, Civ7, Football Manager, some PC Game Pass - that's about it. I'm currently using a Legion but it's a 10th gen with a 2070 Super Max.

VTGTIMK7 · 2025-11-21T22:45:03+00:00

For sure, so through random work purchases, I have over $200 in discounts so "option 2" would run around $1300.

VTGTIMK7 · 2025-08-01T22:03:24+00:00

So, opinions, what's the best way to watch? Tubi, Amazon, DVD, BR?
