The RAM crisis has caused laptop prices to soar this year, which has been terrible for creatives and gamers alike. The good news is that you might not have to wait to Black Friday to find the best prices since the hikes came into effect. B&H has $400 of the 15in Lenovo Legion 5a and $1,000 off the 16in Lenovo Legion Pro i7.
With dedicated Nvidia graphics cards, both of these laptops cater to creators as much as gamers. The 5a has you covered for photo editing, 2D design work and content creation, while the Legion Pro i7 has the internals for heavier video editing and 3D rendering workflows as well as AAA gaming with RTX 5080 graphics and 32GB RAM.
There are another couple of deals I'd recommend considering if you don't need quite as much power or if you're looking for a lighter device for travel. See below for the details.
