One of the fastest RTX 5080 gaming laptops we've ever tested has $950 knocked off the price

It's still not cheap, but it's a whole lot faster and better value than you might expect.

Plus, you're getting a 240 Hz OLED display. While you can find the odd RTX 5080 machine for cheaper right now (like this MSI Vector 16 HX AI for $2,099), it's very unlikely to have a panel anywhere near as good as this one. It'd be a shame to scrimp on the screen when you're spending this sort of money, but the Legion Pro 7i has you covered.

It's still a lot of cash to drop on a laptop though, that's for sure. And it's a bit noisy, although the fans are pretty easy to rein in with Lenovo's LegionSpace software without tanking the performance too badly.

But given you get the full set of bells and whistles (including 32 GB of DDR5-6400 and a 2 TB SSD, no less) for a heavily discounted price, in a market where many 16 GB RTX 5070 Ti laptops are cruising above the $2,000 mark, the Lenovo sure makes a whole lot of sense.

It's not cheap, but it does give you a huge amount of performance for your money, and that's plenty good enough for me.
