Lenovo’s 17-inch RTX 5050 gaming laptop is only $850 right now

If you’re in the market for a new gaming laptop that’ll take you pretty far but don’t want to spend more than a grand, here’s a hot deal you might want to jump on. B&H is currently selling this Lenovo LOQ 17 for just $850, a lovely discount of $280 (originally $1,130).

The Lenovo LOQ 17 is on the larger side, with a 17.3-inch 1080p display that reaches a gaming-ready 165Hz of refresh. Sure, that resolution could be better, but given the rest of the specs, you’ll probably be doing most of your gaming at 1080p anyway. It should also suffice for all the other stuff you do, whether that’s streaming Netflix, churning through spreadsheets, or juggling numerous browser tabs and apps.

As for those other specs, here’s what you’re getting inside: a 13th-gen Intel Core i5-13450HX CPU paired with 12GB of high-speed DDR5 RAM, which is a fair enough combo for productivity and modest gaming. You’re also getting an RTX 5050 GPU with all the benefits of Nvidia’s DLSS 4, so that’s smooth gaming at respectable frame rates with the latest games. Finally, a 512GB SSD to round things out.

Altogether, it’s a far cry from a high-end gaming machine, but it’s a darn good value at this discounted price. You’re getting a more-than-decent gaming laptop for well under $1,000, which may not be possible in the coming months as spiking RAM prices are already causing PCs to cost more while packing less.

Don’t miss this chance to grab the Lenovo LOQ 17 for only $850 at B&H before this deal expires! You’ll even get a 6-month subscription to Bitdefender Total Security for up to five devices, included.

Save $280 on this respectable Lenovo laptop with RTX 5050 GPU
