    I have one with the i5 and 1660ti and its awesome. It has a mux switch. Mine has a 512gb ssd. The 144hz screen is very nice too. Lenovo extended warranty is very inexpensive too. I got 3 year extended for a hundred bucks. Probavly never need it but. Also has a tpm module showing in bios so should be a candidate for Win 11.
    i was able to verify that Lenovo Legion Y540 latpops use firmware TPM 2.0

    Just found out after 2 months ownership Lenovo canceled the warranty. Apperantly these are sold as is with no factory warranty. I hope they return my money without hassle. I contacted the seller and they offer 90 day warranty. Not what i expected.

    Antonline is an authorized Lenovo reseller. There's no reason for the laptop not to have a full factory warranty. Hope you are able to get your issues resolved.

    You should have full warranty because the laptop is brand new in the box no matter where you bought it from. Normally it'll start on the purchase date.

    No these were sold as refurbished to resellers. Wonder what they paid.
    When I called they said it would be reinstated then I got an email saying it wouldn't. I think its a strategy to try and keep my money.

    If they're going to jerk you around like that, avail yourself of the refund.

    If one puts a value on there time its kinda ******** I have to fight to get my money back that they didnt offer it up immediatly after canceling the warranty. I suspect if I had not noticed for a few more months it would have been very difficult to get a refund. As is they wanted proof I purchased it even after giving them the order number. They are not very honest.
