This year's holiday sales gave us RTX 5060 gaming laptop deals at under $1,000 for the first time, but neither the HP Omen Max or Alienware 16 Aurora machines that dropped to this price can beat the Lenovo Legion 5. That's because not only is this mid-ranger still available with a three-figure price tag, but it also adds an OLED display into the mix.
In fact, this machine starts life at an already-fantastic MSRP (though Walmart's $1,549.99 figure looks a little inflated). I normally see this configuration floating around the web for $1,299.99, so even though you're not really saving $550 this is still a fantastic offer on one of the best gaming laptops I've tested in 2025. You'll find the RTX 5060 Lenovo Legion 5 for $999.98 at Walmart this week.

Lenovo Legion 5 RTX 5060 gaming laptop | $1,549.99 $999.98 at WalmartSave $550 - Again, it's rare to find an RTX 5060 Lenovo Legion 5 at that full $1,549.99 - these machines are normally around $1,300. Still, this is one final RTX 5060 machine sitting under $1,000 after holiday sales wiped out stock on other models.

View DealShould you buy the Lenovo Legion 5?
The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 represents the best value I've seen in the gaming laptop market so far this year. I was blown away when greeted with an OLED display on opening the lid for the first time, you won't find that on some gaming laptops at double this price tag.
That boost in color vibrancy and contrast was previously reserved for the most luxurious machines on the market, but 2025 has been particularly kind to this panel technology. Still, even with OLED's growing presence on the market I was surprised to see one on this cheaper rig.
You're getting an AMD Ryzen 7 260 AI processor in this offer, the more premium option of the two AMD configuration options. It's a newer CPU than I tested, with a solid mid-range power level and focus on efficiency.
Combine that with 16GB RAM and an RTX 5060 graphics card and, from my testing, you'll be good to go on Ultra settings at 1080p, even in more demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077. QHD+ is a little trickier with these components, but I was still able to hit 100+fps in at full settings in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. More demanding titles will need a drop down in settings to 60fps reliably, though.
So, if you're after a 1080p experience that prioritizes panel quality, component value, and a slimline chassis, the Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 is an excellent choice.
The only snag would be the fact that I found this screen a little more susceptible to glare than more premium options. For the absolute best OLED screen I've used in a gaming laptop so far, I'd explore the Razer Blade 16 (currently on sale for $1,499.99 at Razer).
