The right plan
If you are looking for a high-performance laptop, whether for work or play, gaming computers represent the best in terms of computing power and graphics power. Lenovo stands out with its Legion 5 series, gaming laptops that are both powerful and accessible.
If several configurations are possible, the one that interests us today is a bit special. Indeed, the components that equip it are from AMD, which is quite rare for a PC gamer. The CPU is thus a Ryzen 7 5800H, very fast thanks to its 8 cores rising to 4.4 GHz in Turbo mode. It is associated with an AMD Radeon RX6600M graphics card. Quite exotic, this card is between the RTX 3050 Ti and the RTX 3060 from Nvidia. It is therefore an ideal configuration to play in Full HD and enjoy all the latest games in good quality. If the 512 GB SSD is quite classic, it is on the amount of onboard RAM that this Legion 5 stands out. Indeed, it is equipped with 2 bars of 16 GB of RAM, bringing the total to 32 GB, a must for productivity and creative work. The associated screen is a 15.6-inch 165 Hz Full HD panel, a must for playing competitive games.
If you are looking for a gamer-creator PC, this Legion 5 is an excellent model. It allows you to launch demanding software without worry thanks to its powerful processor and 32 GB of RAM, but also to indulge in a few gaming sessions. Offered at an initial price of €1699.99, it is currently benefiting from a reduction bringing it to €1299.99.

What alternative?
If you prefer to opt for a more conventional configuration, based on an Nvidia graphics card, there are many references. It will generally be necessary to spend on an amount of RAM of only 16 GB. In this segment, the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming PC is an excellent model, combining powerful components with a well-made chassis. It thus embeds an i7 11370H processor, an RTX 3060, all supported by a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.
At the moment, this gaming PC is available at 1099 € thanks to CDiscount which offers a reduction of 250 € on its base price. If you need to play more than work, this Asus gaming PC is a very good alternative.
