Save up to $300 on these RTX 3060 Lenovo laptops right now
Lenovo has a couple of its more affordable gaming laptops on offer right now, making this a great time to pick up a decent gaming PC without having to remortgage your house. These two machines both feature Nvidia's RTX 3060 GPU, paired with high-refresh, 1080p displays to make for a solid gaming experience. The main difference is on the CPU front—you can either go with a Core i5 11400H for a smashing $1,199, or an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, which is $80 cheaper at $1,119.
In case you don't know these things off by heart, both of these are 6-core, 12-thread processors that are more than capable when it comes to modern gaming, and they're not bad at more serious number crunching either. The Intel Core i5 11400H has a higher Turbo Boost of 4.5GHz to the Ryzen 5 5600H's 4.2 Max Boost, although has a slightly lower L3 Cache at 12MB as opposed to 16MB.
In practice, there is very little between the two chips. This is one of those rare occasions where it's going to come down to your own personal preference more than anything else. The benchmarks between the two are within the margin of error, and they're both as capable as each other. So, Intel or AMD? The size of the machine is probably better to go off—do you have room for a 17-inch laptop, or is a 15-inch model more to your liking?

The large 144Hz 17.3-inch screen is bright and the RTX 3060 will help make the most of its 1080p resolution. A solid laptop at a great price.
Beyond their size, both machines
