We’re looking at an IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, near 100% of the sRGB color space coverage, and 350 nits max brightness. The screen here is much better than on the IdeaPad Gaming 3. Next, the device packs 16GB of memory coupled with a 512GB SSD and an extra M.2 slot. First of all, you have the Ryzen 7 5800H, one of the fastest mobile CPUs you can get at the moment.
#The best small gaming laptop upgrade
The RTX 3050Ti is far from RTX 3060 for gaming performance, but aside from the GPU, the Legion 5 is a clear upgrade over the IdeaPad Gaming 3. Next, we have the best overall package in the form of the Lenovo Legion 5, the RTX 3050Ti version. Lenovo Legion 5: Gaming laptop under $1000 with best overall package

Overall, this is a superb gaming package and if you have only $1000 to spend on a gaming laptop, get this one along with an extra stick of RAM. The speakers are trash, and the laptop features Advanced Optimus as well as AMD Freesync Premium. Build quality is satisfactory, the body is plastic, the keyboard’s fantastic, the webcam is passable, and the average battery life. Especially if you look at the rest of the hardware, you get for the price. Not great, but far from being disappointing.
#The best small gaming laptop 1080p
The screen is a 1080p 120Hz IPS panel with mediocre colors and brightness and is on the dimmer side (250 nits max brightness). You also get a combo audio jack, which you can find on every other laptop featured on this list. Ports include 2 USB 3.2 gen1 ports, one USB-C port, full-sized HDMI, and an RJ45 (LAN) port. But since the board packs two SO-DIMM slots, you can upgrade to 16GB in dual-channel mode, which we strongly recommend doing. The biggest downside of this device is only 8GB of memory. You also get a 512GB SSD with an extra M.2 slot, which is another plus. A six-core SKU with 45W TDP is a pretty fast mobile CPU. The CPU used on this laptop is the Ryzen 5 5600H.

This is a massive improvement over the RTX 3050Ti. In Control, the RTX 3060 90W achieves around 75-78fps with High preset, Ray Tracing, and DLSS turned on. RTX 3060 at 90W should offer about 70 percent improvement over the RTX 3050Ti in its most powerful, 80W version since the 115W RTX 3060 is 90 percent faster than the 80W RTX 3050Ti. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop equipped with the Ryzen 5 5600H and 90W RTX 3060 is the best gaming laptop deal on the market right now.
