[Laptop] Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i Laptop - 255H/16GB LPDDR5X/1TB SSD (+open slot)/RTX 5050/16" 2.8K 120Hz VRR OLED 100% DCI-P3 (500/1100 nits)/WiFi 7/84Wh battery/Glass Touchpad/US Keyboard Layout/FHD IR camera... ($989.99) [Lenovo via Best Buy Marketplace]

This is an insanely low deal for this spec and model. You can't even get an entry level gaming laptop at this price point anymore. I know many people don't like Lenovo, but this is the best laptop deal you will probably see for a long time if you can get past 16GB soldered RAM.

Which subreddit for picture that looks like SSD melted?

I'm relatively new here, haven't been on many subs. Where should I post the following? It's not quite r/techsupport, not sure if it's relevant to r/buildapc, but I'm curious to know and others may also find it interesting.

--

I bought a laptop from someone and it had a couple of BSODs within the first few minutes of using it. I eventually traced it to the SSD, and when I opened it up, I saw this. It looks like one of the three chips is melted, but I can't imagine how that possibly could have happened. Can someone explain whether this is actually what happened, and if so, what could cause that?
