The best Black Friday gaming laptop deal we’ve spotted under \u00a31000 is on the Lenovo Legion 5. Right now you can pick up this fully kitted-out laptop with a high-performance Ryzen 4800H processor and fast RTX 2060 graphics card for \u00a3950, which is \u00a3150 less than its usual price<\/a>. Finding Ryzen 4000-series laptops has been tough after the word got out that they were significantly faster and more power-efficient than their Intel counterparts, so this is a particularly good find!<\/p>\n

Let’s have a look at the rest of the specs – it’s all pretty impressive. You have 16GB of RAM, 512GB of high-speed NVMe SSD storage and a 15-inch 144Hz display. Normally corners are cut to get an RTX-equipped laptop under the \u00a31000 mark, but this is all really good.<\/p>\n

The screen is an IPS model, so it only gets moderately bright but offers excellent colour reproduction and wide viewing angles – this could be a laptop you use for colour-sensitive professional work if you wanted to!<\/p>\n

\"legion5\"<\/figure>\n

The reviews of this laptop are also univerally positive. Ultrabook Review praised its build quality, excellent performance and upgradeability, while Neowin noted its great keyboard, long battery life – thanks to that Ryzen 4800H processor – and its excellent industrial design. Any downsides? Neowin wanted to see a touchpad with dedicated buttons, and Ultrabook Review noted that the Legion 5 is a little thicker than other machines, but in total each review is very positive overall.<\/p>\n

Overall, while we’ve considered a few different laptops that squeeze under that \u00a31000 mark, the Lenovo Legion 5 at \u00a3950<\/a> is the very best we’ve discovered so far this Black Friday and we think you’ll be very happy with it!<\/p>\n

Two more options<\/h2>\n
\"alternatives\"<\/figure>\n

If you’d like a gaming laptop that leans more towards portability, the Razer Blade Stealth 13 is also \u00a3900 at Ebuyer<\/a>. This compact laptop has a low-power Core i7 and GTX 1650 Ti, but equals the Legion 5 with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD. If you want something light to slip in a bag and use on the go, this is still going to provide better performance than a laptop with integrated graphics.<\/p>\n

A more balanced option is the Asus Tuf A15 for \u00a3899 at Laptops Direct<\/a>. It’s another Ryzen 4000 machine with a Ryzen 48000H processor, GTX 1650 Ti graphics card, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD. There’s a 120Hz 15.6-inch screen too. Digital Foundry head honcho Rich reviewed the RTX 2060 version of this machine<\/a> and found a lot to recommend.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more Black Friday (and Cyber Monday!) deals<\/a> over the next few days, and follow @dealsfoundry on Twitter<\/a> to get the best deals we discover them! If you’re looking for PS5, Xbox Series X, Ryzen 5000 or RTX 30-series stock, then we’ll tweet them first there.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n
