Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16" RTX 4070 Laptop for $1311
This Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 config features a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. You can choose to upgrade to the model with 32GB of RAM for only $38 more, which is worth it in my opinion. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745X is AMD's newest mobile chip with max boost clock of 5.6GHz and a total of 8 cores, 16 threads, and 32MB cache. Not only does it actually perform on equal terms with the Intel Core i7-13700HX, it does so while drawing significantly less power.
The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs on par with the RTX 3080. It's a little bit faster than the RTX 3070 Ti but not quite as powerful as the RTX 3080 Ti. You'll want this kind of power to run games comfortable on the laptop's beefed up 2560x1600 or QHD+ display. Compared to RTX 30 series cards, RTX 40 series cards also support new features like DLSS 3.0 and 3.5. For games that support it (like the new Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty DLC) this can be a pretty significant FPS increase over even DLSS 2.0.
