Overview
- Retailers listed steep, time-limited Lenovo markdowns reported May 26–27 that include a LOQ 17 at B&H for $799, a Legion Pro 5i at Best Buy for $1,749, and a Legion Pro 7i at B&H for $3,049.
- The LOQ 17 is configured with a 13th‑gen Intel Core i5, 12GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 17.3‑inch 1080p 165Hz display, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 entry‑level GPU.
- The Legion Pro 5i deal shows a 16‑inch 2560×1600 OLED panel at 165Hz, an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and an RTX 5070 mobile GPU.
- The Legion Pro 7i listing includes a 16‑inch 1600p OLED 240Hz screen, the same Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5, a mobile RTX 5090 with large GDDR7 VRAM, and bundled extras such as Bitdefender and game codes.
- Coverage says these cuts are notable because RAM and SSD shortages plus high GPU prices have kept laptop costs elevated, so buyers should verify current stock and bundles on retailer pages before buying.
