Deal | RTX 5090, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 4K display: Lenovo Legion 9i (2026) gets first big price cut

Amazon's Prime Day shopping event is in full swing, but 4K gaming laptop deals can also be found elsewhere. For example, a US-based retailer is still running a sale on many well-equipped notebooks, which includes a pretty attractive 18-inch flagship machine from Lenovo's current lineup.

Gaming enthusiasts will already know that this description only fits the Legion 9, or the Legion 9i from the latest 2026 model year to be more exact. This Lenovo gaming laptop sports the new Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with 24GB GDDR7 VRAM. Furthermore, the configuration that's on sale here sports 64GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD in addition to the 4K IPS display with 240Hz and 100% DCI-P3 colors.

Unsurprisingly, a gaming notebook with these kind of specs does not come cheap, but B&H Photo Video has now discounted this model variant of the Lenovo Legion 9 by $1,200 or roughly 17%, which results in a sale price of $5,799 including free shipping. Alternatively, the otherwise identical RTX 5080-powered version is available for $4,999 thanks to a $1,000 price cut.

Legion 9 is the most powerful RTX 5090 gaming laptop money can buy

Our in-depth review of the similar 2025 model with a previous-gen Intel CPU provides quite a few arguments for and against buying the Legion 9. For one, our benchmarks showed that this RTX 5090 laptop is the fastest on the market thanks to GPU overclocking and a clear focus on performance instead of portability.

On the other hand, this also means that the 18-inch notebook is very heavy at almost 8 lb. It also gets very loud under full load, draws a lot of power and comes with a chunky power supply. Nonetheless, since gaming performance is most likely at the top of the list for many prospective gaming laptop buyers, this 18-inch beast can be a fitting option for affluent shoppers who can spend a lot of money on a future-proof device.
