With the perpetuating memory and flash shortage, more integrated devices like consoles or laptops are becoming increasingly enticing. For instance, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM will run you at least $300 right now, but you can get the same amount in mobile form in the deal we're highlighting today. This Black Friday, grab a Lenovo Legion 5i gaming laptop for just $1,099 on B&H, marked down an insane $600 from its list price.
Lenovo is among the top laptop manufacturers in the world, and the Legion series is the company's exclusive gaming lineup. This model in particular features a killer hardware combo, consisting of a 115W RTX 5060 and a Core Ultra 7 255HX processor with 20 cores. Those are paired with 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory and a 1 TB Gen4 SSD, with another slot empty for expansion.
Those specs will lead to consistent and reliable 1080p gaming performance across the board with smooth frame rates, made to look even better on the gorgeous 15.1" glossy OLED display. In many ways, the screen is the highlight of this device, sporting a 165 Hz refresh rate, 1000 nits of peak brightness, and even Dolby Vision support, along with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.
While most OLEDs carry an HDR TrueBlack 400 rating, or sometimes TrueBlack 500, this Legion is rated for HDR TrueBlack 600, which means you can expect up to 600 nits of peak brightness before the ABL kicks in to protect the OLED panel. In simple words, you'll get higher brightness across larger window sizes.
The Legion 5i has a largely understated design; it's only the large vents that could give it away as a gaming laptop, but you get ample cooling because of them, so it's a win-win. It's made out of aluminum, so there's minimal creaking or deck flex, but it still weighs just under 2 kilograms (4.19 lbs), so you can easily carry it around on campus or take it to work.
There's a full-size RGB keyboard, plenty of USB ports with Thunderbolt 4, a fingerprint sensor, and Wi-Fi 7 for wireless connectivity, among other creature comforts. All that is backed up by an 80 Wh battery, plenty to last throughout the day on a moderate workload. Before DDR5 becomes inaccessible on laptops too, grab this Lenovo Legion 5i for just $1,099 on B&H right now and start gaming.
