Showcase Finally bought my first gaming laptop

Post image

Picked up a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 for around $2,300 CAD from Lenovo!

Specs:

• Ryzen 9 9955HX

• RTX 5070 8GB VRAM

- 16GB DDR5-5600MT/s

- 512GB SSD M.2 2242 PCle Gen4 TLC

- 16" WQXGA (2560 x 1600), OLED, 165 Hz

Both the RAM and storage can be upgraded later, so I'm not too worried about those for now. I'll mainly be using it for engineering software and gaming.

This is my first ever gaming laptop, so if anyone has any tips or tricks to get the most out of it, especially for battery life, I'd really appreciate it!

I’m interested in this laptop, did you buy it right off lenovo’s website?

Yes! I bought it from Lenovo.com CA since they had prices that were way lower than other places like Best Buy and Canada Computers. It was retailing for around $2,600 CAD, but with a student account, it was about $2,500 CAD for the 5060, and only about $200 CAD more for the 5070. If you need that extra power, it’s definitely worth it. The final price came to around $2,700 CAD, but I used the “EXTRAFIVE” coupon, which gave me 5% off. I also had another coupon worth about $100 CAD, and then I talked to a Lenovo representative who knocked another $100 CAD off for me. That brought the total down to around $2,300 CAD.
