If you’re an avid gamer, you know how important having a solid gaming laptop is. You want to make sure there’s minimal to no lag as well as crystal clear graphics so you don’t miss a beat. Brands like HP, Asus and Acer make excellent choices, but we can’t forget about Lenovo. The Lenovo Legion 7i laptop has a strong OLED display, a large 16-inch screen and a powerful high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card.

All these features mean this gaming laptop doesn’t come cheap. But if you order from Best Buy today, you can save a lot of money. Normally $1,870, you can enjoy a $635 discount which brings the laptop to $1,235. Hurry, this deal expires in a matter of hours.

The Lenovo Legion 7i delivers a lot of power despite its portable design. The 16-inch OLED screen is sizeable enough for on-the-go gaming, and it also has rich colors and smooth motion. It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card and 32GB of RAM, so it can handle nearly all available games, as well as streaming and other creative work.

With features like advanced cooling, it helps keep things quiet even during high performance. Lenovo’s AI-features also help give you a more enjoyable experience, such as AI Sound Sync, which adjusts performance for seamless gaming. It’s a strong pick for gamers who want high-end power — especially now that it’s available for a much better price.
