Fact: If productivity is your main reason for purchasing a new laptop, you don’t need to spend a ton. That’s why this sub-$800 mobile workstation is such a valuable deal. With it, you’re gaining access to a zippy AMD processor, a large and vibrant OLED display that will be a treat for the eyes, whether you’re working on spreadsheets or joining in on a Zoom meeting using the 1080p webcam, and a dedicated GPU. That RTX 3050 will be capable of casual gaming, and will also give you an edge when attempting creative pursuits. Image editing with Adobe Photoshop or video editing with CyberLink PowerDirector? No problem. If you’re ready to get a leg up on your productivity, read on for more details.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 is an OLED laptop geared towards productivity, and the Lenovo AI Engine intelligently optimizes performance whether you’re creating content or have multiple tabs open while compiling notes from multiple sources. The Windows 11 OS brings the Copilot assistant to your fingertips, lessening your workload by summarizing key notes from documents, emails, and web pages, and generating text and images with just a few clicks. Weighing only 4.21 pounds, it’s also quite portable despite the large display, and it meets the MIL-STD-810H standard of durability, ensuring that it can withstand a drop or two and extreme weather while traveling. Time is money, and saving $470 on this workhorse will hopefully give you back some of that valuable time.
