Right now, Lenovo via Newegg offers the Ryzen-powered Lenovo Legion 5 for just $799 .99 (opens in new tab). Normally priced at $1,199, that’s $400 in savings and one of the best gaming deals you can get. It’s also $100 cheaper than Lenovo’s current direct price (opens in new tab) for the exact same model (82B5000UUS). By far, this is one of the best laptop deals we’ve seen all year.

The Lenovo Legion 5 is one of the best budget gaming laptops money can buy. This particular Legion 5 on sale packs a 15.6-inch (1920 x 1080) 120Hz display, a 3-GHz AMD Ryzen 5-4600H hexa-core CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 1TB secondary drive and GTX 1650 Ti graphics with 4GB of dedicated memory. Although we didn’t test this model, in our Legion 5i 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 1.5mm key travel makes it comfortable and quick to type on. The Legion 5 doesn’t scream gamer, which makes it suitable for work or school settings. It features a minimalist black chassis accented with an iridescent “Legion” logo on the upper-left corner of its lid. Lift the lid and you’ll find a keyboard with white backlighting, but no RGB option. At 5.4 pounds and 14.1 x 10.2 x 0.98 inches, the Lenovo Legion 5 is heavier 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 a tad heavier but thicker than the Dell G3 15 (2019) (5.3 pounds, 14.4 x 10 x 0.8 inches). At $400 off, this Legion 5 is a no brainer if you’re looking for a laptop under $1,000 that’s big on performance. This deal ends August 9, so we recommend you act fast.
