In the last couple of years, there’s been a significant design push toward making gaming laptops look less “gaming” and more as if they could fit in an average office, and the Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 has somewhat taken it to its logical conclusion. Given that it’s designed as a sort of sleeper computer — that is, a computer that’s powerful but looks rather dull — it tends to come with a heavy price tag, but luckily some great gaming laptop deals are floating around, like this one from Lenovo bringing its price down by over $700 to $1,760 from $2,470.
The new Lenovo Legion 5i Pro is a 2022 update to the Legion 5, which is always a challenge when dealing with a laptop that was already great, but Lenovo managed to hit it out of the park with this one. For starters, the performance is sublime; with an RTX 3070 Ti, you’re not likely to run into many games that will push it up against its limits. Not to mention we love that it’s a 16-inch screen running 2K at a 165Hz with the much better 16:10 aspect ratio, landing it in the absolute sweet spot for gaming monitors on laptops, although if you are using it as a desktop replacement, it might be worth grabbing one of the gaming monitor deals for the bigger size.
Beyond that, the keyboard is surprisingly fun to use, with snappy switches and great travel; they’re comparable to the likes of the XPS keyboard, which is impressive. It also has a good battery life in non-gaming applications, with roughly four to eight hours, depending on whether you’re browsing or watching videos. You also get an overall smooth experience with the 12th-gen Intel i7-12700H processor and 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz, so you won’t have any issues with productivity work, editing, browsing, gaming, and pretty much whatever your heart desires.
Overall, the Legion 5i Pro Gen 7 could easily place among some of the best laptops of this year, and while that usually means you have to pay a premium, this $710 discount from Lenovo brings it down to $1,760 makes it a much more affordable price for a top-end gaming laptop.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
