Lenovo's Legion family of PCs offer some of the best gaming laptops money can buy.

Although we didn't test this AMD model, in our Legion 5i (Intel) review, we found the laptop's clutter-free ports and good speakers impressive. More importantly, the Lenovo Legion TrueStrike keyboard's 1.5 millimeter key travel makes it comfortable and quick to type on. 

Performance-wise, you can expect this Ryzen 7 version of the Legion 5 to outperform competing Intel gaming PCs. In a recent benchmark face-off, the Ryzen 7 4000 series CPU outperformed Intel's 11th-Gen Tiger Lake processor. 

When you're not gaming, the Legion 5 AMD laptop is suitable for school or work day-to-day tasks. 

Weighing in at 5.5 pounds and measuring 14.1 x 10.2 x 0.98 inches, the Lenovo Legion 5 is heavier than, but nearly the same size as the HP 15 Gaming Laptop 15 (4.9 pounds and 14.25.14 x 10.144 x 0.9 inches). It's also slightly heavier but thicker than the Dell G3 15 (2019) (5.3 pounds, 14.4 x 10 x 0.8 inches). 

At $859, the Legion 5 is solid choice if you're looking for a cheap gaming laptop
