- Verify the processor; the Ryzen 7 250 base model and the Ryzen AI versions are all sold as Legion 5a Gen 11.
- Make sure it is the AMD-based Legion 5a and not the Intel-based Legion 5i, unless that is what you want.
- Ask for the original box and confirm a North American warranty and keyboard layout.
