Seems promising, except why would you need a drive bay in addition to two M.2 slots? It would be better to have an option with a bigger battery.

Wow, William, you got a strong opinion!
I do not consider Legion because it's bigger, 200g heavier and also psu is 500g heavier, so that's 700g difference combined, pretty substantial.
Anyways, I think it makes most sense to wait for Ryzen 4500H/4800H in this point in time.

I've been using Core 15 since August and I like it a lot. Everything written in this review is true, sound from the speakers is not the best and it's a little loud during heavy games, but when I play with headphones I don't notice this at all. What I like about this laptop, is that it's lighter, more compact than Legion and it doesn't look like a gamer laptop at all (except for rgb keyboard lighting, which you can turn off or set to white, if you like). I think it's better for more mature people, who don't play as often.
