The currently discounted Lenovo Legion Pro 5i is a capable OLED gaming notebook with RTX 5070 Ti and Core Ultra 9
The Legion Pro 5i is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD, which means that gamers won’t need to shell out more hard-earned money to upgrade the memory or storage right away. A 1600p OLED panel is also onboard.
Despite rising storage and RAM prices, price-conscious gamers who don’t want to overspend on a well-equipped 16-inch laptop can still find relatively interesting offers considering the current market situation. For instance, the Legion Pro 5i might be worth considering for gamers who are looking to upgrade to an upper mid-range machine for roughly $2,000.
To be more exact, Best Buy has now discounted the Legion Pro 5i with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD to $2,099 including free shipping or store pickup in many locations across the US. This configuration further sports the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 12GB GDDR7 VRAM, which is a good choice for gamers who would like to avoid the VRAM bottleneck that 8GB GPUs are running into these days. Additionally, the 165Hz OLED display with 2560 x 1600 pixels and full DCI-P3 colors should satisfy most buyers as well.
Legion Pro 5i discounted by 37% but 16% more expensive than in 2025
Before placing an order, bargain hunters should note that this gaming laptop was available on sale for roughly $1,800 before the DRAM crisis hit. So despite the reasonable 37% or $1,250 discount relative to the official list price, this machine is still more expensive than last year. That said, the markup is noticeably smaller compared to some other notebooks.
In any case, prospective buyers should check out our detailed review before placing an order for the Lenovo Legion Pro 5. We’ve tested an almost identical configuration, so our benchmarks of the RTX 5070 Ti and praise for the beautiful OLED screen also apply to this version.
On the other hand, shoppers should be aware of the fact that this 16-inch Lenovo gaming laptop doesn’t have much gaming performance when used on battery. We’ve also criticized the missing Thunderbolt and WiFi 6 support, and the good-looking chassis is unfortunately a fingerprint magnet. With all that said, the Legion Pro 5 OLED can be a decent purchase for impatient gamers considering its decent specs and current price trend.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life.
