Looking for a good deal on a gaming laptop before Prime Day sales? I found a pretty insane one: The Lenovo Legion 5i is currently $1,100 off at B&H Photo/Video, bringing the sale price to just $1,799. To put that into perspective, its regular price is $2,899 — over 60% off.

Here’s the kind of hardware you’re getting: an Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX processor (that’s the 18-core), 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. For graphics, this configuration comes with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU (with 8GB of GDDR7). This is more than enough horsepower for any modern gaming title.
It wouldn’t be a Legion without the touches gamers appreciate, though. The HDMI, power jack, and two USB-A ports are located on the back of the laptop for easy access, but you’ve still got two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, another USB-A, ethernet jack, and audio jack on the sides. Regarding wireless connections, it supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

The 15.3-inch OLED display is no joke, either. It features a WQXGA (2560 x 1600) resolution with support for G-Sync and 165Hz refresh. It’s plenty bright, as well: 1,000 nits for HDR content. The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU supports advanced ray tracing and DLSS, which leverages AI-powered neural rendering to boost FPS, reduce latency, and improve image quality without taxing the CPU. The result is better performance across the board, especially on CPU-intensive games.
We’ve reviewedseveral laptops from Lenovo’s Legion series and can attest to their raw power and premium build quality. Turn off the RGB lights, and you’ve got a laptop that looks like it wouldn’t be out of place in class or at the office.
When is October Prime Day?

How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?
We look through available deals and only highlight those we’d actually buy ourselves — either devices and products we’d recommend or vouch for being worth the price. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or rarely on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how often it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
