In most cases, powerful gaming laptops with a decent screen and a fast dedicated graphics card like the RTX 3070 have a rather hefty price tag of well over $1,000. However, patient gamers who have set their sights on Lenovo’s quite popular Legion 5 Pro series of gaming notebooks can now get their hands on a well-equipped configuration of this 16-inch machine for its lowest retail price in recent memory.
Walmart is currently selling the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16 variant with the speedy AMD Ryzen 7 5800H octa-core processor and the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a high peak TGP of 140 watts for just $1,099. This gaming laptop also comes with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, an ample 512 GB SSD and a nice QHD display with a 165 Hz refresh rate. Compared to Amazon’s current price for this particular Lenovo Legion 5 Pro series model, this sale offers a potential savings of US$400 or about 27%.
We thoroughly tested a very similar configuration of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro last year, and we were pleased with, for example, the bright and color-accurate IPS screen, the well-functioning cooling system and the robust housing. Plus, the 16-inch gaming laptop is easy to access and maintain, and battery life reached a very respectable seven hours during our Wi-Fi web surfing test with hybrid mode activated. Overall, the RTX 3070 powered Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is a well-rounded and powerful notebook that should serve gamers well for years to come.

My fascination with technology goes way back to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and nurturing computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student I developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make stressful student life so much easier. After falling in love with digital content creation while working in a marketing role, I now scour the web to bring you the hottest topics in the world of technology. Outside the office I am especially passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
