The RTX 4060 in this laptop should provide enough power for casual gaming. We also like the colored keyboard that's paired with the 17.3-inch 1080p display, Core i7-14650HX CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. With these specs, it's ideal for play, work, or watching movies.

This Lenovo Legion Pro 5i looks a tad dated by our reckoning, but don't disregard it. It's got a very capable RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a QHD 165Hz display. The keyboard is nice and spacious, too.
Alienware is Dell's gaming sub-brand, and this x16 R2 is a great example of how well they do things. There's an Intel Core Ultra 9, a very, very powerful GPU (an RTX 4090, no less), 32GB of RAM and a huge two terabyte SSD. It's reduced by $900, too!
