If you’ve been watching high-end gaming laptops and waiting for a discount that actually matters, this is one of the rare price cuts that changes the conversation. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i configuration with a 16-inch WQXGA OLED 240Hz display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5090, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD is down to $2,999.99 (from $3,999.99), saving you $1,000.
That’s still a premium purchase, but it’s a much better entry point for a “no compromises” laptop that’s meant to push high frame rates in modern games while also looking great doing it.
This is a 16-inch, non-touch gaming laptop running a 2560 x 1600 panel with a 240Hz refresh rate, paired with an RTX 5090 and 32GB of memory. In practical terms: you get the sharpness and workspace of a 16-inch 16:10-style resolution, the smoothness competitive players care about, and the GPU headroom to drive demanding titles (or crank settings while still keeping frames high).
It’s also positioned as a performance-first chassis with heavy-duty cooling (the kind of laptop you buy because you actually want sustained power, not just a thin spec sheet).
I like this deal because it hits the two places enthusiasts feel instantly: the screen and the GPU. OLED at a fast refresh rate makes everything feel more “premium,” from darker scenes in games to motion clarity in shooters. And the RTX 5090 tier is exactly what you want if you plan to keep this machine for years, run higher settings, or plug into an external display later.
The discount also helps justify the “big laptop” reality. Machines in this class are built to move heat and power, which usually means more weight, more fan noise under load, and less unplugged gaming time than a thin-and-light. If you’re buying it as a portable desktop replacement, those tradeoffs are usually worth it.
At $2,999.99, this Legion Pro 7i is a strong buy if you want top-tier gaming performance and a premium high-refresh OLED display, and you’ve been waiting for a meaningful markdown. If you mostly play esports titles at lower settings or you prioritize portability over power, you can spend far less and still be happy.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
