If you’ve been checking out high-end gaming laptops and waiting for a discount that actually counts, then this is one of the rare price cuts that changes the conversation. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i configuration has dropped with a 16-inch 240Hz WQXGA OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5090, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD $2,999.99 (from $3,999.99)saving you $1,000.
That’s still a premium purchase, but it’s a much better entry point for a no-compromise laptop that’s designed to achieve high frame rates in modern games and look great while doing it.
What you get
This is a 16-inch non-touch gaming laptop with a 2560 x 1600 panel and a 240 Hz refresh rate, paired with an RTX 5090 and 32 GB of memoryj. In practical terms, you get the sharpness and workspace of a 16-inch, 16:10-style resolution, the smoothness that competitive gamers care about, and the GPU headroom to drive demanding titles (or crank up settings while keeping frames high).
It’s also positioned as a performance-oriented chassis with powerful cooling (the kind of laptop you buy because you actually want lasting performance, not just a thin spec sheet).
Why it’s worth it
I like this offering because it hits the two places enthusiasts immediately feel: the screen and the GPU. Fast refresh rate OLED makes everything feel more “premium,” from darker scenes in games to motion clarity in shooters. And the RTX 5090 tier is for you if you want to keep this device for years, run higher settings, or connect it to an external display later.
The discount also helps justify the “big laptop” reality. Machines in this class are designed to transport heat and power, which typically means more weight, more fan noise under load, and less unplugged playtime than a thin and light device. If you’re buying it as a portable desktop replacement, these compromises are usually worth it.
The end result
At $2,999.99, this Legion Pro 7i is a good buy if you want top-notch gaming performance and a high-refresh-rate, high-quality OLED display and have been waiting for a significant price cut. If you mostly play esports titles on lower settings or value portability over performance, you can spend significantly less and still be satisfied.
