Which is the Best Bang for Buck Gaming Laptop? // Acer Nitro 16 Vs Lenovo Legion Pro 5
Source: Ben G Kaiser
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and the Acer Nitro 16 are two budget offerings from Acer and Lenovo. The question is which one is actually the best bang for buck. They both claim great price to performance, but honestly, I think only one can truly stand up to that claim.

80% Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 review

I like the Lenovo Legion Pro 5, particularly at this price. It doesn't crush frame rate records, but if I can crank the settings on the games I'm playing to Ultra and see 60 frames per second (or higher, in this case), I'm content — even if it is leaning on AI-magic. You wouldn't be disappointed if you looked further up the best gaming laptops stack at Asus' ROG Zephyrus G14 or the Asus ROG Strix G18, but the higher price tags give me pause. If you want a great gaming machine for under $2,000, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 hits a killer sweet spot of 1600p performance in a 16-inch laptop with sturdy elegance. I'd personally save up a little more cash and opt for the $1,991 Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 instead. An extra $400 or so (at time of writing) gets you stronger general performance, a smidge more battery life, twice as much RAM, and a 240Hz display (albeit at 1440p). That extra oomph is worth the relatively reasonable cost; 32GB of RAM is especially appealing to me. And there's even an RGB strip, for a bit of extra pizzazz.

It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation.

90% The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is the next-gen gaming laptop I’ve been waiting for
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
We’ve seen a handful of high-end, expensive gaming laptops packing next-gen components. The Legion Pro 5 is the first, however, that hits a sweet spot between high-end performance, premium build quality, and a decent price. There are a few reasonable trade-offs — a decent but unexciting screen and a hefty weight chief among them — but they’re easy to overlook given how much else the Legion Pro 5 has going for it. This is the midrange to high-end gaming laptop from the latest generation I’ve been waiting for, and Lenovo nailed it.
