Amazon is offering the Lenovo Legion 5i i7/16GB/512GB/RTX 3060 Gaming Laptop for $1,189.99 shipped. Normally going for around $1,350, this 12% discount, or $160 in savings, marks a new all-time low we’ve seen for this laptop. This same device goes for $1,300 from Lenovo directly. The Legion 5i comes with an 11th Gen Intel i7-11800H processor, RTX 3060 graphics, and a 17.3-inch 1080p 144Hz IPS display. This laptop is well balanced to play AAA games at high framerates.

If you want to save some cash, you could instead go with the Acer Nitro 5 i5/8GB/256GB/RTX 3050 for $810. The display of the Nitro 5 runs a 1080p 144Hz IPS panel which is a good pairing with the specifications of the i5 CPU and RTX 3050 graphics. It is an entry-level device that will be capable of playing modern games, but you may need to turn down some graphics settings to fully utilize the 144Hz refresh rate. The Nitro 5 runs a Killer Ethernet controller and uses Intel for the Wi-Fi 6 support. The 8GB of memory is about as low as I would go nowadays, but it can be upgraded later on.
