Gaming laptops aren't cheap, but they're an essential purchase if you're looking for maximum performance on the go. Luckily, there are plenty of deals to check out this week, thanks to the Amazon Spring sale - the best being this Lenovo Legion 5 at Amazon for £1,349.99 (was £1,549.99).

If you're thinking about gaming specs, then you're likely wanting the latest GPU from Nvidia and a whole load of RAM thrown in to boot. With an Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU and 32GB of RAM, that's exactly what you're getting with this particular machine. And, considering the cost of RAM nowadays, the price tag here doesn't seem too excessive.

Today’s best gaming laptop deal

Graphics card: RTX 5070
Processor: Intel Core i7-13650HX
RAM: 32GB
Storage: 1TB

It's not cheap, but let's run through the specs before you decide whether it's worth it. Up first is the excellent Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU backed up by an Intel Core i7 CPU. Then there's a superb 32GB of RAM and a 15-inch OLED screen with HDR, 100% DCI-P3, and 500 nits of brightness. It's tempting, isn't it? Now with £200 off.

Despite not having reviewed this specific model, our time with the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i gives us great confidence to make the recommendation. Lenovo Legion gaming laptops offer top specs inside a long-lasting chassis.

The CPU, GPU, and RAM will keep your gaming pursuits flowing along smoothly, while 1TB of storage provides enough room to install a handful of your favourite games without too much issue. The 15-inch OLED screen rounds everything off with bright output and a fast refresh rate.

Every purchase offers three months of PC Game Pass, including EA Play. With new games added regularly, you're sure to find the perfect set of games to unwind to.

At this price, the Lenovo Legion gaming laptop is easily one of the best gaming laptops out there, but it won't be for everyone. If that's the case, have a look at our laptop deals and MacBook deals pages for other options.
