This is the best laptop under 1k without a doubt. Plenty of computing power, good build quality, easy upgrades, and most importantly, adequate cooling. The Achilles' heel of most gaming laptops these days is the cooling system, and the Legion 5 nails it. If you are looking for a powerful gaming laptop, this is not a problem. The only downside to this laptop is that it's heavy and doesn't save much battery life. But then again, if you're looking for these qualities in a laptop, don't consider a gaming laptop. The Legion 5 does an excellent job of what it's advertised for - gaming and ultra-high performance.
