For one of the better gaming laptop deals available right now, take a look at what Lenovo has to offer. Currently, you can buy the Lenovo Legion 7i gaming laptop for a significant discount of $580. Working out at 25% off, it means instead of paying $2,290, you pay $1,710 — a great value for a laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070. Here’s what you need to know before you miss out.
Lenovo is one of the best gaming laptop brands out there with pretty much all the Lenovo laptops we review consistently punching above their weight when it comes to performance. Some can be a little bulky, but inside that bulky shell is some great hardware. As an owner of a Lenovo gaming laptop, I’d happily buy from the brand again.
With the Lenovo Legion 7i, you get a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage. As mentioned, there’s the best part — an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card with 8GB of dedicated VRAM. It’s teamed up with a 16-inch WQXGA screen which has a resolution of 2560 x 1600, HDR 400 support, 100% sRGB, 500 nits of brightness, and a refresh rate of 240Hz. It’s a great combination to ensure that whatever you play looks exceptional here.
Above the screen is a 1080p full HD webcam with dual microphones and an electronic privacy shutter. The per-key RGB backlit keyboard looks great too and adds a fingerprint reader to ensure plenty of reliable security here without needing to type in passwords all the time. The full-size keyboard has room for full arrow keys and number pad keys, so it’s a good bet for all your gaming needs. It’s those kind of things that add up to make this one of the best gaming laptops.
Another nice extra is its fast charging. Through Super Rapid Charge technology, you can charge up to 30% capacity in just 10 minutes, or you can gain 70% back in about 30 minutes. A full charge is achieved in just 80 minutes.
Suitable for all your gaming needs, the Lenovo Legion 7i is a delight and it’s even more appealing while on sale. It normally costs $2,290, but right now it’s 25% off at Lenovo, down to $1,710. Take a look at it now before the $580 discount ends soon.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google DeepMind's AI world model Genie 4 can now build interactive worlds that you can explore and reshape as they run. It also generates ambient sounds, music, and dialogue that respond to your actions.
The new world model builds on Genie 3 with improved realism, more natural human movement, and better simulations of real-world physics. It could eventually help with everything from game development to training robots.
Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.
