The 7435 model doesn’t include an integrated GPU, so the battery life might be a bit short. Other than that, it looks like a solid choice depending on your needs.

I just bought this model. The lack of battery longevity is real, but I usually keep it plugged in. It’s portable enough to move around the house for casual use. For the price, it’s excellent—fast and relatively quiet, and it stays cool under load.

I thought gaming laptops didn’t have integrated GPUs?
@Val
Some do, actually, just not all models.

Yeah, for instance, the 7735 model is similar to the 7435 but includes an integrated GPU.

The main downside is the 7435HS’s lack of an integrated GPU, which affects battery life. If battery life isn’t a major concern for you, this is a strong choice. Alternatives in this price range include the Victus with 8845HS + 4070, which may have lower build quality and a less powerful GPU variant.

Thanks!
Despite not having an integrated GPU, I think it’s a good deal. The Legion 5 has a sizable battery, which is a plus compared to other models like the LOQ.

Thanks for your advice!
I wasn’t impressed with the Legion’s quality, especially the sound system and battery life.
There was a great deal on Best Buy for a 4070 laptop at $849, but it seems it’s out of stock now.

It’s sold out now, unfortunately. Here’s the link to check if it becomes available again: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6578934.p?skuId=6578934

That model had less storage and the screen wasn’t great.
It performs well, but the lack of an integrated GPU makes it less practical for some.
The 7435HS isn’t the most powerful CPU out there, but it’s good enough for the price.
