Deal | 30% off: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 with RTX 5060, 32 GB RAM, and OLED display is less than $1,200 at Best Buy
Unlike desktop gaming PCs, which have gotten more expensive due to rising component prices, gaming laptops have managed to resist big price hikes. Moreover, frequent sales make gaming notebooks even easier to own. Case in point, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 10 is now 39% off at Best Buy.
Retailing at a discount of $510 compared to the full list price, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 brings a full-power RTX 5060, an 8-core Ryzen 7 8745HX, and a 165 Hz 16-inch OLED display for just $1,149.99 at Best Buy. We have extensively tested a sister model of the Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 10 and awarded the laptop a good rating of 85%. So, at a 39% lower price, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 is an easy recommendation.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 10 nails almost all fundamentals. Our review shows that the 16-inch gaming laptop is well built, features a good keyboard with a 24-zone RGB keyboard, and upgradable RAM/storage. The 2,560 x 1,600 OLED display also impressed us with its strong 522 nits average brightness, 165 Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync, 100% DCI-P3/sRGB coverage, infinite contrast, and a short response time. The display also comes pre-calibrated.
Performance-wise, the presence of the RTX 5060 with a full 115 W TDP and an 8-core Ryzen 7 8745HX will ensure excellent 1080p gaming. You can also use Multi-Frame Generation to boost performance even more. Sadly, the RTX 5060 only has 8 GB of VRAM, which will pose problems at 1440p in demanding titles.
Moving on, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 10 should stay comfortable to use, even during intense workloads. Our thermal testing revealed that, although the laptop heats up under load, the keyboard deck remains cool to the touch. The fans also don’t ramp up during day-to-day use.
To sum it all up, the RTX 5060-powered Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16 Gen 10 on sale presents a strong value proposition. The laptop will serve both as a mid-range 16-inch gamer and a superb content creation machine.
