Calling all budget-minded gamers! If you’re looking to pick up a powerful gaming laptop on the cheap, you best stick around, as I’ve just unearthed one scrumptious deal. Lenovo’s selling the Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 for just $1,149.99, which is a massive savings of $300. Not only is this machine rocking an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 discrete graphics card, but it also has a beautiful OLED display as well as a 1080p webcam and a fingerprint reader. That means you can use it for office work during the day and get some gaming in at night–all for $300 off.
The Lenovo Slim 5 Gen 8 has an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Given the hardware, you should be able to play games on the High or Ultra graphics settings, depending on how graphically demanding they are. The 14.5-inch OLED display also has a resolution of 2880×1800 and a refresh rate of 120Hz, so you can expect it to produce fluid visuals. Additional features include a backlit keyboard, which is useful when you’re gaming in a low light environment.
This is an absolutely killer deal, especially for a laptop with an RTX 4060 GPU and an OLED display. Get it now.
