Components like CPU&GPU run hot (might not good for longevity), poor performance

how about the ROG strix scar 3 or hero 3, are these good?

Can advice if Illegear or Level51 laptop can last?

I had have Dell and MSI, the laptop seems to be able to last many years, but no longer as gaming purpose, at least still working laptop for my wife to use as office use...

Want to know if Illegear and Level51 laptop can last that long? maybe 5~7years?

I guess it all boils down to what spec you bought and what games you will be playing 5 years down the road

Avoid Gaming 3i due to cheaped out quality (eg downgraded cooling)

7i has Vapor Chamber cooling, higher GPU TGP, optional GSYNC 500nits, 80Wh battery, thinner chassis, TB3, RGB lightning etc

BTW those product pages have many misinformation, suggest checking specs in psref: https://psref.lenovo.com/
*
Vapor Chamber very much better than pipe?

Well it is new version, so expected a little bit more expensive. If this code is usable in next month with any debit/credit card, maybe I will buy it. The AMD version with high end graphic card is still long time to wait though... Anyway thanks for your opinion  biggrin.gif

LENXCIMB - code is expiring this month?

You're welcome

Until 31 July (probably will refresh again after July)

The choice is yours, there's no 'wrong' model. You're welcome

7i don't have 2.5 inch bay as it uses 80Wh battery for all configs, only x2 M.2 slots (supports RAID)
*
only x2 M.2 slots - means can have 2 NVMe right?

is it a must to use it as RAID or the 2nd stick can be extra space?
