Deal Details
Lenovo [lenovo.com] has the Legion 7i 16" Gaming Laptop on sale for $1439.99 when you apply eCoupon code GAMERDAYS13 in cart. $1330 if you have perksatwork [perksatwork.com].

Specs:
  • 11th Generation Intel® Coreâ„¢ i7-11800H Processor (2.30 GHz, up to 4.60 GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 24 MB Cache)
  • NVIDIA® GeForce RTXâ„¢ 3060 Laptop GPU, 6GB GDDR6, maximum graphics power 130W
  • 16.0" WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS, anti-glare with Dolby Visionâ„¢, HDR 400, 500 nits, 165Hz
  • 16 GB DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8 GB)
  • 512 GB PCIe SSD
  • Thunderbolt 4 x2

***Note the 4+ months delivery estimate***

The delivery window is terrible, but it can't be helped for these custom builds. They only charge when the order ships. I guess you can always place the order and cancel if a better deal comes up on Black Friday.

The AMD versions of the Legion 7 [lenovo.com], the Legion 5 Pro AMD [lenovo.com] and the Legion 5i Pro [lenovo.com] are also on sale, but not nearly as good a deal.

This may be a slightly worse deal when compared to the previous frontpage deal with the AMD Legion 5 Pro. Maybe a tossup depending on your preferences.

Cons:
  • 16GB vs 32GB RAM ($110 per Lenovo)
  • 512GB vs 1TB SSD ($70 per Lenovo)
  • RTX 3060 vs RTX 3070 ($240 per Lenovo)

Pros:
  • Legion 7 has a better chassis / cooling than Legion 5 Pro (usually ~$300 more than 5 Pro)
  • Intel offers PCIe 4 and Thunderbolt
  • $140-170 cheaper

In for one at $1339. This is less than the impossible to find Walmart Legion 5 Pro with better build and less gamey look. I'm a web developer that does casual gaming. I don't want a gamer looking PC. I think the the Legion 7 with a 3060 will fit my needs well.

This is a really good deal...do I keep the Asus m16 I got open box through best buy for the same price? Enjoying a great laptop for 3-4 months vs waiting for a slightly better one...hmmmmm

I'm sure it's been mentioned in other threads but anyone know if they charge at time of order??

Edit: slight step down on processor with the Lenovo . 11800h vs 11900h but it has a MUX switch so it'll run faster in cpu bound games if you're going straight to the dedicated gpu...workaround on the Asus is a USB to HDMI solution which is limited to 4k60fps, or resolution + hz combos within that bandwidth. The Lenovo boasts HDMI 2.1 which is another future proofing advantage but it's not like you can run all that many games at 4k and high refresh with a 3060 unless you want to output eSports titles to a large external monitor

Aren't you a little concerned about the touchpad? I really like the specs on the Legions but that touchpad location completely kills it for me

I use a trackball 90% of the time for work. The touchpad is more for casual use. You can quickly disable/enable the touchpad so I think I'll be just fine with it.

i built out a legion 5 (non pro) 17 in for $1470 with a 3070. See the thing is my laptop stays at my desk 95% of the time. i loce the form factor and ability to take it anywhere. Have an external monitor 1080p gysync. So i feel like this can work for me.

i also did the legion 7i with 3070 for about $1650. so $180 more and is that worth it???

have military discount but not sure if i can use it on mobile website via perks at work. i'm set on a 3070 but maybe i should strongly consider a 3060 for my use case? 8gb is the new minimum ram now a days isn't it. 3060 only has 6gb.

also i'm thinking in 4 months before this ships… black friday deals will be around and this still wouldn't have shipped

How you getting the 7i for $1,650 with 3070? Yes, that is the DEAL if it's actually working. EDIT: are you not talking about the 16.1 for the 7?

EDIT 2: is this dead? I cannot remove the promo code of August xxxsomething and when I try to add the one in the description it says it is expired or invalid.

The glitched L5P 32GB, 2TB, 3070 for $1,500 or $1600 were much better deals. Come black friday 3060 laptops will be $899 like last year's 2060s.

Legion 5, not pro. This topic is for the pro. People need to make the distinction because the legion 5 pro will not be $1k on BF

Yes not the pro. But still a full power 3060 at <$1000 doesn't exist anywhere.

That 4+ month shipping time is an estimated I guess, usually it will be faster that that, about 1 month-ish
