Lenovo Legion 5 | RTX 4060 | AMD Ryzen 7 7735H | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | 15-inch | 165Hz | $999.99$869.99 at Walmart (save $130)
We've become big fans of Lenovo laptops here at PC Gamer this generation, and this particular budget machine is ticking a lot of boxes. For an RTX 4060 laptop it has to be under $1,000, and you also get a better than average screen, though I'm a little confused over Walmart's listing of it as 2160 x 1350 when Lenovo itself claims a 1440p panel. That 512GB SSD, however, is disappointing, even in a budget laptop, but is a cheap and easy issue to fix if it becomes annoying down the line.

There's no need to pick sides here, this Lenovo gaming laptop is stuffed with some of the latest technology out of Nvidia and AMD. It's also $130 off over at Walmart.
If you're happy to part ways with $870 of your hard-earned cash, Lenovo will hand you a lovely 15-inch machine here for the money. It comes with an RTX 4060 and Ryzen 7 7735H—two chips from impressive architectures, for the right price anyways.
An RTX 4060 mobile GPU from Nvidia will keep the frame rate ticking over nicely. With access to features like Frame Generation and DLSS 3.5 upscaling, you should be able to utilise the QHD 165Hz screen to its fullest in some games, too. That said, you may have to play it smarter in some more demanding games to reach higher frame rates—the RTX 4060 is a solid GPU for a laptop but this laptop offers a high resolution and refresh rate for the money.
We can't complain about that, can we? For non-gaming activities, the extra pixels across the 15.6-inch panel will be extremely useful. That's more room to breathe if you're trying to get to grips with a large spreadsheet or dual-wielding Chrome tabs for work or school.
Walmart has this laptop listed with a 2160 x 1350 panel, though both Lenovo and Antonline (the original seller via Walmart) have it down as a 2560 x 1440. Let's chalk that up to a typo and call it a true 1440p.
