If you're on the lookout for a brand new gaming laptop, there are a couple of fantastic choices at the official Lenovo Store thanks to an ongoing flash sale.

The first is this Lenovo Legion 5 with an RTX 5060 for $1,099.99 (was $1,419), a compelling mid-range choice if you're not looking to completely break the bank. At over $1,000, it's a little pricey for a machine with an RTX 5060, but this particular model comes with an up-to-date Ryzen 7 chipset and stunning 1600p OLED display. That's something that's still incredibly rare to see on a machine at this price point and a major selling point.

<p>This Lenovo Legion 5 melds a solid, well-thought-out design with decent specs and a gorgeous OLED display.

<p>Another incredible gaming laptop at the official Lenovo Store this week, this Legion Pro 5i features a super-speedy RTX 5070 under the hood. That makes it a fantastic choice if you're looking to play all the latest games at higher resolutions. While it would have been nice to have seen a full 32GB of RAM on this configuration, that's an easy upgrade, and you're still getting that stunning 1600p OLED display as a highlight feature.
