The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i features a 'gorgeous' OLED display, RTX 5080, and 32GB of RAM

It's increasingly difficult to find great value gaming laptops in recent times due to the ongoing RAM price crisis. If you know where to look, however, there are still a few diamonds here and there.

One highlight I've just spotted is this Lenovo Legion Pro 7i for $2,549 (was $3,499) at B&H Photo. This retailer has really surprised me with excellent deals recently, and this particular listing might just be the best yet — if you have deep pockets.

While pricey, the $950 discount offsets the blow significantly, and you get not just an excellent RTX 5080 graphics card, but also an Ultra 9 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a 240Hz OLED display. In short, this machine is ready to go right out of the box, and should last you a few good years down the line, too.

If I were looking for a higher-end gaming laptop, this would definitely be on my shopping list this week. You can check out our Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review for a full rundown of this particular model.

Is it worth waiting for Prime Day now?

For those not in the know, Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner. The annual mega-sale is set to take place from June 23 - 26 later this month, and it usually has excellent discounts that rival those from Black Friday.

I usually recommend that readers hold out until the big sale for most tech purchases, but I think you're pretty safe with this particular listing at B&H Photo. As someone who covers gaming laptop deals all year round, I find Amazon to be one of the least consistent retailers out there for gaming laptops. There are usually discounts for Prime Day, but I've found Best Buy, Walmart, and Dell to have much better options in their rival sales.
