A $1,000 discount makes this RTX 5090 Legion Pro 7i easier to justify

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.
