You probably think Lenovo is all corpo ThinkPads, but its Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals are the best around

We've become huge fans of the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i gaming laptop here. In fact, in his review, Dave could find little to moan about apart from the weak battery life we expect from such a machine, calling it a "outstanding next-gen gaming laptop".

With a recommendation like that, the deal currently available in the US looks even better, with $750 slashed off the laptop's price making it just $1,999 at B&H Photo. Equipped with an Intel i9 and GeForce RTX 4080, it's a lot of lappy for the money.

1. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | Nvidia RTX 4080 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $2,749 $1,999 at B&H Photo (save $750)

1. Lenovo Legion Pro 7i | Nvidia RTX 4080 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240Hz | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $2,749 $1,999 at B&H Photo (save $750)
This is a great discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested and is even cheaper than it was over Prime Day. It's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review). There's a high-performance CPU to back it up, a decent, bright 1600p screen, and a fair amount of storage. All with a discount.

Price check: Lenovo $2,359.79 | Amazon $2,398.72

2. Lenovo Legion Pro 5i | Nvidia RTX 4070 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 17-inch | 240Hz | 2560 x 1600 | 32GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,449.99 at B&H Photo (save $450)

2. Lenovo Legion Pro 5i | Nvidia RTX 4070 | Intel Core i9 13900HX | 17-inch | 240Hz | 2560 x 1600 | 32GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,449.99 at B&H Photo (save $450)
This isn't the cheapest RTX 4070 laptop deal, but it might just be the best. This Lenovo is a quality item with fantastic specs, not a cheapo lump with an over-specced GPU. RTX 4070 aside, highlights include 240Hz refresh, 32GB of DDR5 and a 13th Gen Core i9 CPU.

You can also pick up the smaller Legion Pro 5i, sporting a Core i9 and RTX 4070, for a discount of $450, and that makes it just $1,449.99 also at B&H Photo.

Then there's the Legion 5. It's no less handy in a gaming fight than its 'Pro' siblings, but it sports an excellent AMD processor and a RTX 4060 GPU. You can shave a useful $130 off, which makes it a great Cyber Monday grab if you don't mind the chonkier frame.

4. Lenovo Legion 5 | RTX 4060 | AMD Ryzen 7 7735H | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | 15-inch | 2160 x 1350 | 165Hz | $999.99 $869.99 at Walmart (save $130)

4. Lenovo Legion 5 | RTX 4060 | AMD Ryzen 7 7735H | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | 15-inch | 2160 x 1350 | 165Hz | $999.99 $869.99 at Walmart (save $130)
We've become big fans of Lenovo laptops here at PC Gamer this generation, and this particular budget machine is ticking a lot of boxes. For an RTX 4060 laptop it has to be under $1,000, and you also get a better than average screen, though I'm a little confused over Walmart's listing of it as 2160 x 1350 when Lenovo itself claims a 1440p panel. That 512GB SSD, however, is disappointing, even in a budget laptop, but is a cheap and easy issue to fix if it becomes annoying down the line.

Price check: Amazon $1,224.99 | Newegg $969.99
