Lenovo is a powerhouse in the computing market. With roughly 23% of the market, the Chinese business leads HP in computer sales globally.

Which is the best laptop to buy in Kenya?

Since then, Lenovo has significantly broadened its selection and diversified it with reasonably priced and functional devices like the IdeaPad and the Yoga. Check out the best Lenovo PC brands here:

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (16ACH6H)

With the Legion 5 Pro, a laptop geared for gamers, Lenovo has found success. It provides excellent value for the money. The high-end 16-inch screen (16:10) with a definition of 2560 × 1600 pixels and an unprecedented refresh rate of 165 Hz is especially welcome. Ideal for gaming additionally, the dark grey chassis has a superbly sober appearance that will surely appeal to people who dislike "gaming" designs and the ubiquitous RGB.

However, the Legion 5 Pro excels in terms of performance, particularly considering its price range. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800H chip performs admirably, and the 3D performance is outstanding when paired with an RTX 3070, whose TGP is raised via the Nvidia Dynamic Boost 2.0 function. Particularly noteworthy are the fantastic ray tracing results. This prevents any thermal throttling along with heat dissipation in the hair.

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 (14ITL6)

The IdeaPad 3 14ITL6 is one of the models that, in our opinion, is the most well-balanced. It has an Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. It is a primary 14-inch computer. It does and shows what is expected of it while being understated. 

It has good connectivity with an HDMI port, a USB-C port, several USB-A ports, and an SD card reader. Its weight of 1.41 kg is reasonable for a 14-inch device that doesn't claim to be ultraportable. The price of this entry-level model, 579 euros everywhere, is appropriate given the high manufacturing level. It will be especially suitable for students who need to take notes in class and everyone looking for a dependable and affordable PC.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5 (15ALC05)

Turn to the IdeaPad 5 15ALC05 for the 15-inch model if you want a larger screen while still paying a very reasonable price. The IdeaPad 5 is a top-notch model with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, a modern CPU incredibly adaptable and efficient. We stick with the standard for the rest, which includes a Full HD screen and 8 GB of DDR4 RAM. The screen's colorimetry, though, is regrettably quite average. Therefore, we do not advise it to creative individuals who want adequate color coverage.
