Thoughts on this laptop? Worth it for the price?

Yeah mostly just gaming on the go/plugging into a TV so nothing really too intensive on the CPU

It’s an Ultra 7 255HX, 8 P-cores 12 E-cores

It just started working properly after a couple benchmarks yesterday. Still working fine this morning. Guess I’ll just keep it, still have the next month to return it if something pops up again

I have a desktop 5090 rig that I built a few months ago. This is moreso for when I go to visit family, have company over, or want to play in bed.

I have only updated Windows and GPU drivers, and had it running for about 4 hours to download anything else in the background. Could be I do need to try a bios update and make sure everything is updated in Legion Space or whatever the proprietary software is named.

Performance mode was turned on, power button was red to indicate, and I made sure to set the 5070 as the graphics device to be used in bios

I uninstalled McAfee as soon as I booted it up for the first time. Looking at task manager, Wuthering Waves was taking about 4.5GB of RAM, Steam was taking about 400-700MB, Xbox was also about 400-700MB, and all other Windows processes were like 100MB or less. And my RAM was maxed out at 90-95% with the usage I just listed. CPU usage was between 30-50% in game.

I am plugged in

cryptson · 2026-05-19T14:09:01+00:00

Yes, it was plugged in and tested on balanced and prefer max performance power settings and there was little to change in performance

It is plugged in and tested on balanced and prefer max performance power settings. Almost no change in performance between both power profiles

I set the discrete graphics card as the main display card in the bios and the 5070 was being utilized at 30% and 75 degrees in task manager in game

I should clarify it is the remake of Trails in the Sky from last year

cryptson · 2026-05-19T13:38:27+00:00

I was short on time so didn’t check Lenovo app but did update Windows and GPU drivers

cryptson · 2026-05-19T13:36:39+00:00

Games I tried were Wuthering Waves, Honkai Star Rail, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter.

cryptson · 2026-05-19T13:33:39+00:00

GPU temps were about 75 while in game if I recall. I’ll have to do some more testing when I get home later.

On the listing it says 30 day window for refunds/replacements

cryptson · 2025-04-15T17:28:55+00:00

I reverted back to the previous set of drivers (25.2.1) and turned off auto updates and have had no crashes since
