Lenovo’s Legion 5i is down to $1,599 from $2,099 at B&H, a $500 savings on a rock-solid gaming laptop with great performance. This massive discount is only available today—according to B&H, the offer ends at midnight tonight, Eastern time. If you’ve been itching to upgrade your laptop in the midst of the global hardware shortage, now’s the time. 

The RTX 5070 is the star of the Legion 5i. Though far from the best in the RTX 50 series, it’s still powerful enough to provide a smooth and immersive gaming experience, complete with Nvidia DLSS features like upscaling, multi-frame generation, and more. That’s paired with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, plus a spacious 1TB SSD. Specs like this are going for a premium these days, so grabbing this whole package for just $1,599 is a real deal.

But it has a few more cherries on top: a gorgeously vivid 15.1-inch OLED display with a native 2560×1600 resolution for crisp text, a 165Hz refresh rate for smooth motion at high frame rates, cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7, and a Thunderbolt 4 port for high-speed connections.

This gaming laptop won’t double as a good productivity laptop, especially if you often work on the go. It’s too heavy (weighing over 4 pounds), it lacks battery life (only about 5 hours even without gaming), and it just costs too much if all you’re doing is email and office work. Another caveat is that it comes maxed out on RAM—that 32GB is already across two slots—so don’t expect to expand it later on.

For gamers and creatives who are running tasks that tax either CPU or GPU, the Lenovo Legion 5i is a smart buy now that it’s $1,599 at B&H.
