Walmart Lenovo Legion Insanely Cheap, is it the real deal?

[EJOE]

Hello, I was going to buy this for a little over a grand (USD) with warranty https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Y540-15-15-6-FHD-Intel-Core-i7-9750H-NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-2060-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Black-Windows-10-81SX015GUS/921861606 ....... Then I found this crazy gem with three left, the same model but with a Ryzen 7 4800H and the GTX 1660TI FOR 665 WITH A THREE YEAR WARRANTY. I didn't want to pull the trigger because I wanted the 2060 really bad. But I didn't think it was worth that much more plus an inferior i7. So I pulled the trigger, I'm sitting here in awe, I'm not even sure if this was a legitimate deal, but it said all the specs in the title and it was straight from Walmart's website. Thoughts and opinions between these two laptops and their price points and if this was a scam seller on Walmart?

I think they are both really good options for their prices. However I can guarantee they won’t have the best battery life. I think they are both about equal from a price to performance ratio, however the 2060 would perform a little better in some situations. I don’t think they are a scam because they are being sold directly from Walmart and not a third party seller.

Clearing old stock. Normal price.

I just haven't seen any Legion 5s at that low of a price before. Also thanks for your help. Ended up picking up what you suggested.

Right, I know they have the option for. a battery upgrade. And that's good to hear, wasn't sure if I was missing something.

You can get similar price with perks

Ryzen 5000u is on the horizon, with 30 series, this will make these laptop a hard sell.

By that time, you will see cheaper 4000 series. Or it will be rebranded for 5000 chips as they are pin compatible.

Ryzen 5700u is essentially a rebanded 4800u.

 

For the specs, it's a great value if you just want a 6 core cpu.
