Deal | Popular Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop with RTX 3070, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and 165Hz QHD display now on sale for US$1,299
Although we often report on deals for comparatively affordable gaming laptops with dedicated mid-range graphics cards like the GeForce RTX 3060, many gamers who have more disposable income at hand like to invest in a more future-proof machine featuring at least an RTX 3070 and a nicer display. Fortunately, this description perfectly fits the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop, which is currently on sale with a notable discount at a major US retailer.
To be more precise, Walmart currently sells the aforementioned Lenovo Legion 5 Pro configuration with the quick AMD Ryzen 7 5800H octa-core processor and the popular Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 dGPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a TGP of 140 watts for an enticing sale price of US$1,299. This 16-inch gaming laptop is also equipped with 16GB of upgradable DDR4 memory as well as a 512GB NVMe SSD. In comparison, this version of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is being sold for US$1,500 on Amazon, which means that this gaming laptop deal offers solid savings of US$201 or about 15 percent.
In our comprehensive review of a very similar configuration of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, we praised the gaming laptop's very bright QHD IPS display with a fast native refresh rate of 165 Hz and good color reproduction on top. We further liked the robust chassis, the well-performing cooling system as well as the long battery life of up to seven hours in our WiFi-websurfing test with activated hybrid mode. Overall, we found that the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is a well-rounded gaming laptop, whose RTX 3070 GPU allows playing most titles at high settings. However, please also note that a still-available deal for the Gigabyte Aero 5 offers slightly better specs, at least on paper, for the exact same price after accounting for the mail-in rebate.
