I've spotted a Lenovo RTX-4080 gaming laptop at a Black Friday discount. We gave it 88% yesterday, err.

$2,649 B&H Photo: $1,999 (Save $650) Lenovo makes some great gaming laptops. This Legion Pro 7i is not an exception. This high-end model, which features the mighty RTX 4080 and Intel's top spec Core i9 Mobile CPU, should be able to handle any game that you throw at it. The screen is also very fast with a 240Hz refresh rate and 32GB of DDR5 memory.

There's a good reason why we don't give gaming laptops scores in the high 80s very often. We are notoriously strict when it comes time to score, so a laptop that reaches those lofty heights must be absolutely fantastic.

You can be sure that the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 is a good one, since it scored 88% in our recent review. It's surprising that you can get one at B&H Photo for just $2,000.

I know that's a lot of cash. When you compare the specs of this laptop to those of other laptops with RTX 4080 graphics, it's a Black Friday gaming laptop deal that is hard to beat.

Let's take a look at the highlights. A CPU with an Intel Core i9-14900HX means 24-cores and blazing performance. It has 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory, which is the right amount for a machine with super-high performance in today's world. A 240 Hz 1600p display? Superb.

Oh, and 175 W RTX4080. This is the highest we would go for a modern gaming notebook, because while you can buy RTX4090 machines, they are almost always a waste. The full-fat mobile RTX4080, though? It's true, this is a massive GPU. And it's surrounded with components that can push it to the limit.

I'd like to reiterate that 1600p display. It's a panel that measures 16 inches, so the resolution is good enough to keep everything sharp. The RTX 4080 is a powerful performer, even at 4K. It will have no problem pumping frames at a high rate to that display. Doesn't that 240 Hz rate of refresh make a lot of sense?

What did Katie not like about the Legion Pro 7i? It comes with a lot of bloatware, but that's an easy fix. The surface is a bit slippery and fingerprint-prone. It only has a 40-minute battery life when gaming. But that's what you get with modern high-powered gaming laptops.

You'll need to keep the machine plugged in if you want to make use of its hardware. This deal machine only has 1 TB of storage compared to our review sample which had 2 TB.

Did I mention we have a Black Friday SSD page specifically for that? We're really good at this kind of thing.

It's not a very long list of criticisms for a PC Gamer review. We put these machines to the test with a demanding set of benchmarks and hours of real-world testing. Lenovo was the clear winner. Impressive, ey?

One other criticism was the price. We felt that the MSRP of $2,729 was a bit high compared to its competitors. But for $2,000, what do you think? That's a great deal.
