Best Buy Accused of Removing RAM After 64GB Legion 5 Upgrade

A Lenovo Legion 5 laptop allegedly configured with 64GB DDR5 RAM was serviced by Best Buy after warranty. The retailer reportedly charged the full price for the 64GB setup, then removed one 32GB RAM module during service and kept it, claiming the upgrade was incompatible with the system, despite the unit reportedly functioning with 64GB for months. The incident, reported on Reddit, has sparked debate over memory compatibility and retailer practices, with suggestions to escalate the issue with Best Buy.

Razer Blade 18 (2026) packs RTX 5090 power in a quiet, premium chassis—yet value hinges on memory prices

Razer’s 2026 Blade 18 refresh pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX+ CPU with an RTX 5090 to deliver strong gaming and creator performance while staying notably quiet (under 50 dB in performance mode) thanks to excellent cooling. It remains a premium desktop-replacement option with a sleek all-black chassis, but memory pricing shifts mean last year’s model could still offer better value. Overall, it’s one of the quietest high-end gaming laptops in its class, just at a premium price point.

Razer Blade 18: Desktop-grade power in a surprisingly portable 18-inch chassis

Razer Blade 18: Desktop-grade power in a surprisingly portable 18-inch chassis

The Razer Blade 18 pairs an 18-inch dual-mode IPS panel with desktop-class hardware (Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and up to RTX 5090) for top-tier gaming and multitasking in a surprisingly portable 7-pound chassis. Its standout feature is the two native display modes (4K@240Hz and 1920x1200@440Hz), switchable via software but requiring a reboot, with strong brightness and color coverage to boot. Configurability is generous (two RAM slots and an extra M.2 slot), but the laptop comes at a steep price—the tested model is $5,400—making it a premium pick best suited for those who want the biggest screen and desktop-like performance in a portable form factor; the recommended sweet spot is around $4,500 with an RTX 5080 for a more balanced value. It isn’t ideal for traveling light and has quirks like unlabeled ports and a smudge-prone matte finish, but it remains the closest you’ll get to a portable desktop replacement in an 18-inch frame.

Zephyrus Duo 2026 review: two vivid OLEDs, one extravagant package

Verge’s review praises the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 2026 as a wild, premium dual‑screen gaming laptop: two 16‑inch OLEDs, RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, a top‑tier Intel Core Ultra 9, 32GB soldered RAM, and a 1TB SSD, plus a removable keyboard/trackpad and a 90Wh battery, all for about $5,500. It excels at multitasking and gaming on the go, but it’s extremely heavy and expensive, throttles around 135W vs. the 150W peak, and comparatively pricey rivals offer better raw performance. It’s a niche, spectacle‑driven machine rather than a practical buy for most, though it remains the undisputed champ of dual‑screen laptops for enthusiasts.
