The Best Lenovo Gaming Deals
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16" RTX 4070 Laptop from $1349
The Legion Pro 5 features a 16" 2560x1600 (QHD+) display, your choice of AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX or Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. We recommend getting the AMD version. The 7745HX is every bit as good as the i7-13700HX and you're saving almost $80. The AMD version also comes with a 1TB SSD compared to the 512GB SSD in the Intel version and faster RAM (DDR5-5200MHz vs 4800MHz).
The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs roughly 20%-30% faster than the RTX 3070 that is replaces. That means its also a little bit faster than the RTX 3070 Ti. You'll need this kind of power to run games on the laptop's QHD+ display with settings turned up. RTX 40 series cards also support DLSS 3.0, which is essentially DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation.
Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 PC for $2080
The RTX 4080 is the second most powerful card on the market and a considerable step up in performance over the 4070 Ti. This (or the 4090) is the card you want for 4K gaming without any restrictions. On the AMD front, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can keep up (and that's if you ignore DLSS and ray tracing). It's much more powerful than previous generation cards, performing about 50% faster than an RTX 3080 Ti. It's actually only 20%-30% slower than the RTX 4090 (and you'll really only feel the difference in 4k) while costing hundreds of dollars less. Check out our RTX 4080 review.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 16" RTX 4080 Laptop for $2020.99
This laptop features a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ 240Hz IPS display, 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900HX Raptor Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The latest Intel Core i9-13900HX is the most powerful mobile CPU on the market right now, you can't get anything better. It boasts 24 cores and 32 threads with a maximum boosted clock speed of 5.4GHz. It improves on the previous gen Intel CPU with more cores, a bigger cache, and support for faster RAM.
The RTX 4080 mobile GPU performs about 20%-35% faster than the RTX 3080 Ti mobile. Compared to desktop variants, the mobile RTX 4080 approaches a performance level similar to the desktop RTX 3070 Ti. It's definitely more than enough power to run games on the native 1440p display at near maximum settings depending on the title.
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16" RTX 4090 Laptop for $2790
This is one of the most powerful laptops that Lenovo sells right now. Let's just say the RTX 4090 makes high end gaming on a laptop possible. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful mobile GPU ever, and by a huge margin. The HP OMEN 17 supplies up to 175W to the GPU. That means this is probably the fully enabled RTX 4090 GPU with a 150W TGP, not the gimped 80W version. It's equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU.
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16" RTX 4060 Laptop from $1235
Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti.
Lenovo Legion Slim RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $1215.99
The Legion Slim is Lenovo's thinnest gaming laptop. It's also light for a gaming laptop, weighing in at about 5.07 pounds for a 16" form factor. As a comparison, the Legion 5 Pro weighs about 5.7 pounds. Fortunately, that extra weight savings didn't compromise the gaming prowess of the Legion Slim. It's still equipped with an Intel Core i7 CPU and an RTX 4060 GPU.
Lenovo Legion Tower 5i RTX 4070 Gaming PC for $1529.99
The GeForce RTX 4070 matches the performance of the older RTX 3080 but with a few new features exclusive to RTX 40 series GPUs. That means the RTX 4070 can still easily hold its own in any game at 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K. This would be my GPU of choice for comfortable 1440p gaming. Because it's a current gen 40 series card, the RTX 4070 also supports DLSS 3.0, which is DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. Games that support DLSS 3.0 (like Diablo 4) benefit with noticeably higher fps.
Lenovo Legion RTX 4070 Ti Gaming PC From $1776.49
The RTX 4070 Ti performs better than the RTX 3090 and way better than the RTX 3080. Compared to AMD's best card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, it only performs slighly worse without ray tracing, but it performs better with ray tracing enabled. It also supports DLSS 3.0 (DLSS 2.0 + frame generation), something both the AMD cards and GeForce RTX 30 series lack, and that increases the performance gap for games that support it. It's still a solid card for 4K gaming and significantly cheaper than the RTX 4080 or 4090.
Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 8 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC for $1111.49
If you're looking for a rig that excels at 1080p gaming and doesn't come with a high price tag, Lenovo has got you covered here as well. This Lenovo Legion 5 gaming PC features an AMD Ryzen 7 7000 series CPU and a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU for under $1200. The RTX 3060 Ti handles all manner of 1080p gaming without breaking a sweat, and even has the chops to handle some 1440p gaming.
Lenovo LOQ 16" RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $1101.99
Lenovo released a budget line of gaming laptops this year dubbed the "LOQ". This particular LOQ laptop is priced a lot less compared to a Legion laptop with similar specs. Fortunately, this config doesn't skimp on the premium features. Not only do you get the latest RTX 4060 GPU, which is superior to the previous generation's RTX 4070, it's also paired with AMD's current-gen Intel Core i7-13700H CPU. The rest of the specs are impressive as well: a 16" 1920x1200 display, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
