Looking for a new gaming laptop? Lenovo's 16-inch Legion Pro 7i is majorly discounted right now at B&H. We're talking $1,150 off the regular price of $3,499 for a sale price of $2,349. That's a significant discount for a laptop released in spring of 2025.

Ahead of Black Friday, retailers are getting a head start on sales, and we're seeing some notable laptop discounts this year before new product launches at the beginning of 2026.

This is great news for consumers, as recently released laptops (like this one) are seeing price drops of 30%-40%. I went hands-on with the Legion Pro 7i earlier this year and can't recommend it enough for its combination of high-performance hardware and well-designed form factor.

The first thing you notice with the Legion Pro 7i is the gorgeous OLED display. Powered by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, the 240Hz 16-inch screen is positively immersive, with vibrant colors and inky blacks. The 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) resolution delivers a crisp image, and support for G-Sync seals the deal with support for DisplayHDR True Black 500 and Dolby Vision.

Under the hood, you've got an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, with 24 cores (eight performance, 16 efficiency) capable of handling intensive workloads and running top-tier gaming titles with ease. With 32GB of RAM and two 1TB M.2 SSDs, you've got plenty of local storage and processing power.
