why downvote? I'm not wrong. IPS and IPS level are two totally different qualities of display
When playing a demanding game (I was playing Days Gone) with the battery at 100% to start. Laptop was plugged in the whole time. After 15 or so minutes, the battery was down to 87%. Basically, the charger can't keep up with the battery discharge rate. So, you will hit 0% battery at some point and you have to quit playing until it charges up again.
From what I read, the system pulls too much power for the power cord supplied. Several users ordered the next higher power cord and it solved the problem. But, that adds $99 to the price...and it's no longer a deal.
Upgrade wise, the Gigabyte wins:
Gigabyte
3 slots for storage
2x Gen4 NVMe 2280 slots
512gb preinstalled in 1 slot
1x 2.5" SATA slot
Can use all 3 at the same time
11th Gen Intel processor supports up to Gen4 SSD
Lenovo
3 slots for storage
1x Gen3 NVMe 2242 slot
Small form factor
256gb preinstalled
1x Gen3 NVMe 2280 slot
No mounting hardware, have to buy separately
1x 2.5" SATA slot
Can only use the 2280 slot or the 2.5" slot, not both
5000 Series AMD processor supports up to Gen3 SSD
Gigabyte has more ports around the sides and back of the laptop compared to the Lenovo as well.
Where Gigbyte is lacking (FOR ME) was quality. As soon as I turned on the laptop, brand-new, and saw the backlight bleeding on the screen, I was immediately turned off. The overall feel of the laptop felt on the lower quality side when holding it and using the track pad. At the time, I thought I wanted raw gaming performance, but it turns out, the rest of the laptop mattered to me too, and the Gigabyte just wasn't for me.
The Lenovo feels 1000% better to me with the build quality and has a more professional look. It doesn't look like a laptop which has a 3050ti inside and I love that. I love typing on it and I prefer the pure black keycaps on the backlit-keyboard compared against the Gigabyte which has white/black keycaps and looks like it's backlit even when the laptop is off.
TLDR: I chose the Lenovo with less upgrabillty and ports because of better build quality.

It's usually a higher quality TN panel I have had 3-4 "IPS like" displays and they are all just TN panels it's a scam
