Lenovo’s Legion family of PCs offer some of the best gaming laptops money can buy. The Legion 5 in this deal on sale packs a 15.6-inch display (1920 x 1080), 2.9-GHz AMD Ryzen 7 4800H octa-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a GTX 1650 Ti GPU with 4GB of graphics memory. Although we didn’t test this AMD model, in our Legion 5i (Intel) review (opens in new tab), we found the laptop’s clutter-free ports and good speakers impressive. More importantly, the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard’s 1.5 millimeter key travel makes it comfortable and quick to type on. Performance-wise, you can expect this Ryzen 7 version of the Legion 5 to outperform competing Intel gaming PCs. In a recent benchmark face-off, the Ryzen 7 4000 series CPU outperformed Intel’s 11th-Gen Tiger Lake processor. When you’re not gaming, the Legion 5 AMD laptop is suitable for school or work day-to-day tasks. Weighing in at 5.5 pounds and measuring 14.1 x 10.2 x 0.98 inches, the Lenovo Legion 5 is heavier than, but nearly the same size as the HP 15 Gaming Laptop 15 (4.9 pounds and 14.25.14 x 10.144 x 0.9 inches). It’s also slightly heavier but thicker than the Dell G3 15 (2019) (5.3 pounds, 14.4 x 10 x 0.8 inches). At $859, the Legion 5 is solid choice if you’re looking for a cheap gaming laptop. Lenovo’s Labor Day Sale Sneak Peek Week ends August 31.
