The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (Gen 8) can now be had for only US$1,336.49 straight from Lenovo thanks to stackable coupon codes. The laptop comes with an 8-core Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, a next-gen RTX 4070 GPU, 16 GB of memory, and 1 TB of storage. Although the RAM and storage are respectable, they can be further expanded thanks to two SO-DIMM and two M.2 slots.

The 2023 Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (Gen 8) that Lenovo debuted at CES 2023 is currently enjoying a cool 9% at Lenovo’s store. To get the discount, add the laptop to the cart and enter coupon codes EXTRA5 and BUYMOREOFFER at checkout. The coupon codes will take a combined US$133.5 off the US$1,469.99 retail rate for the final price of US$1,336.49 (via slickdeals). According to Honey's price history tool, the US$1,336.49 sale price is in fact the cheapest in 120 days as it beats the previous lowest rate of US$1,396.49.

The Gen 8 Lenovo Legion Pro 5 on sale packs a Zen 4 Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, an RTX 4070 GPU with a 140 W TGP, 16 GB of DDR5-5200 memory, and 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. Other notable specs include a 16-inch QHD+ IPS display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 165 Hz refresh rate, and 300 nits brightness. The panel also covers 100% of the sRGB gamut and supports both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync. Rounding the package off is an 80 Wh battery and an FHD webcam that support Windows Hello facial recognition.

When it comes to usage, the Gen 8 Lenovo Legion Pro 5 ticks almost all the boxes. We were thoroughly impressed with the laptop and gave the machine a “very good” score of 88% in our review. In particular, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 has excellent performance thanks to a speedy mid-range Ryzen 7 7745HX and an RTX 4070. Our review device managed to snag a performance rating of 79.9%. 

In other words, the notebook is sufficiently powerful to handle almost anything you can throw at it. For instance, in our PCMark 10 Digital Content Creation benchmark, the laptop scored 13,229 points and was only 10% behind the Schenker XMG Neo 16 with a Core i9-13900HX and an RTX 4090.

Similarly, the Legion Pro 5 can comfortably play almost all modern AAA games at QHD resolution with elevated graphical presets. For instance, the laptop cranked out 58 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 (1.5) at QHD resolution with Ultra quality settings.

In short, if you are in need of a mid-range gaming notebook with enough performance to handle QHD/FHD gaming and content creation, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is worth taking a look at especially for only US$1,336.49.
