Yes .. online purchase should be cheaper usually .. with the use of a promo code .. unless u want those extra free gifts and some haggling .. then it may be cheaper

But do note for the waiting time.. it may take u up to 4months

i saw some mentioned within 4 weeks so can be sure get it within the period or need to expect any delay ?

Usually a delay .. as part shortage now .. if its intel .. I think it should be faster

as mentioned, if you don't mind waiting at least 4-5 weeks, then it's a good deal. and yes, it's safe to order online from the website and they package their laptops very well b4 shipping. but they are not very subtle in their packaging, i.e. if you buy a Legion laptop from them, the whole box will have big LEGION wordings on it for everyone to see. very tempting for someone to "misplace" it on the way to you.

if you want it immediately, then buy from local Lenovo shop. you can always diy upgrade the parts to the specs you need later.

I want to ask anyone having problem with the wifi card and manage to solve it? I have turn off the "Auto Turn Off" but connection is not stable. Connect and disconnect.

Reported to Lenovo, since they gave me different wifi card and their reply is "the machine that you have purchased was supposed to come with Mediatek wifi card and not Intel wifi card as published."

Gave 2 options ,
1. Full refund
2. 5% discount.

Full refund probably I will be paying more for next purchase..

Is changing Wifi card easy? will it void the warranty?
From Lazada, Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 11AX is selling around RM100..installation is the risky part..

Mediatek wifi cards do not have the most stable connection, but should do the job. what laptop are you using? if you are running the Lenovo Vantage, do not activate "network boost" or you're gonna have a bad time.

i do not recommend full refund since new laptop prices now are too high for lower specifications.

changing the wifi card is very easy and does not void warranty. the hardest part is removing the back cover of your laptop.

Frequent disconnect is .. Even when the lenovo support asked to remote in.. i cannot get the wifi up, end up using LAN cable.
Lenovo Legion 5 2021
Ya the cover.. saw the Youtube.. looks easy .. if you do it before..

I notice the models for Legion no longer state what Brand.. only features.. e.g. Wi-Fi 6, 802.11AX (2x2) & Bluetooth® 5.1.

That's good to know. I also got that option.

i also replaced my Killer 1650x wifi card, which was suppose to be good, but gave problems just like yours. so i got an AX210 card instead and everything is good now. replacement is easy and straight forward. the youtube videos help.

i also noticed that lenovo no longer states what wifi card you're getting (unless it's the killer card for the Legion 7/7i). i guess they cannot provide the Intel AX200 card anymore. either mediatek or realtek are the options now and you can't even choose.

may i know where you get your AX210 and how much? Is it not overkill to get AX210 instead of AX200 unless your router/modem support Wifi 6E? thank you..

i got it from Shopee. It's not that much more expensive than an AX200 card, about RM180. so might as well future proof. still, an AX200 card is also more than sufficient for now.

Get 5% refund and buy yourself a AX200/AX210, or you can get a cheap Asus USB Card if you worry about opening your laptop.

I bought AX210, coz I think this laptop will last till 6E is common.

I bought this for my dekstop last year and turn out inside just intel AX-200. (Last year about RM 150 only)

u can try changing the connection mode from AX to AC, see if it improves the connection while waiting for ur AX200

do note AMD cpu can only use AX200, AX210 is for intel only

AX210 support windows 10 x64 and newer AMD CPU.


Will let u guys know if AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800H support AX210.

i'm using the AX210 in my Legion 7 AMD (Ryzen 7 5800H). so far so good....but I only have an Asus Wifi6 router, not 6E. so cannot test 6E standard.
