Deal | Lenovo Legion 5 with RTX 5070, QHD OLED and 32GB RAM gets big discount

After last week's deal for the RTX 5070 Ti-equipped Legion Pro 5 expired way too quickly, gamers who are yearning for an upgrade now get another chance to snatch a comparatively affordable laptop at a decent price. This time around, the even more wallet-friendly Lenovo Legion 5i has received a mentionable price cut at a well-known retailer.

Specifically, B&H Photo Video is currently selling the Legion 5i with with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU for just $1,299 including free shipping. This gaming notebook deal offers $400 or roughly 24% in savings in comparison to the usual price of $1,699.

This 15-inch machine also sports 32GB DDR5 memory, a 1TB SSD and a gorgeous OLED screen with 2560 x 1600 pixels and a 165Hz refresh rate. Alternatively, more demanding shoppers can opt for the otherwise identically equipped RTX 5070 model of the Lenovo Legion 5, which has dropped to $1,449 thanks to a 28% or $550 discount at B&H Photo Video.

Lenovo Legion 5i with fantastic but flickering OLED display

In any case, prospective buyers should read our comprehensive review of the immediate predecessor to this Lenovo gaming laptop. Since the 1600p OLED screen and chassis haven't changed, our benchmarks of the RTX 5070 and many other impressions will apply to the variants that are on sale here.

Among other things, gamers can look forward to a bright and colorful display, good performance and a praiseworthy keyboard as well as connectivity selection. On the other hand, the Legion 5 gets loud during gaming and the OLED panel will flicker due to PWM. With all that said, this is arguably one of the better laptop deals around considering that hardware prices remain sky-high and that viable options under $1,500 are rather difficult to find these days.
