Hmm. It's about $1,484 for Perks members with GREETINGS10. The EXTRA5 coupon doesn't apply. Tempting. The brighter screen is $30 more. Upgrading to 32GB is $55 more.
Although kind of sucks it doesn't have the 99.9Wh battery like the 7.
Is a 4060 equivalent to a 3070 ti of last gen in terms of gaming performance assuming similar tdp?
The 3070 Ti is definitely better at pure gaming, but is more power hungry. 4060 is relatively close all things considered, but does fall behind in pure performance. I think either you'd be happy with. I'd look at the other specs to make your determination (CPU, amount of ram, size of SSD, and screen) since the 3070 Ti and 4060 aren't leagues apart.

If you select the 'build your own' option, which is the only way I see (correct me if I am wrong) to get the screen upgrade and extra RAM etc., unless I am missing something, you start off with a lower CPU (i5 vs i7) and lower GPU (4050 vs 4060). So, you would then end up paying a higher price to upgrade the 'build your own' version to get back to the same specs listed in this thread.

Yes, you're correct. I suppose I could've been clearer.
I'm gonna wait a month or two to see what prices retailers offer. Considering the recent $1400 BH Photo deal for a Legion 5 Pro, this really isn't bad.
Lenovo needs to hire someone to fix their model numbering. It's insane.

Screen went from 500nits last gen to 300nits for new gen?
Yes, 500 nits is now reserved for their ultra premium Legion 7 line of laptops. Those things cost a kidney. Makes me glad I bought 2022 model from B&H a month ago for $1400. I don't use 500 nits all the time, it's so bright! But a few times I needed it and cranked it up, it was nice to have.

If you go to the product specification section of the whole series, then you'll see that this year they have introduced two Display options for this 5i Pro series, one is the same as the older 1600P 500-nits and another is this new 300-nits 1600P, unlike the last two years where it was only having the 1600P 500-nits option.
This looks to be a downgrade to me and now the end user needs to be extra causious about the display while purchasing this year's models.

Downgraded screen
Downgrade gpu
For more money it's less powerful than the $1399 bh deal from a few weeks ago
This is Slickdeals here!
