If you’re looking to grab yourself a great gaming laptop, then you’ll be happy to know that Lenovo is having a flash sale with some really big discounts. In fact, we’ve collected two of our favorite deals below, with both having the same GPU but with some variations in CPU performance and amount of RAM, so you can really dial in the type of laptop you want. That said, if neither of these deals quite do it for you, be sure to check out these other great gaming laptop deals instead.

Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 with RTX 4070 — $1,500, was $2,000

The Legion Pro 5 is a great laptop if you’re looking for something that’s in the mid-to-high-end range, especially with the mobile RT 4070 under the hood, which is roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 4060. That means you get a solid 1440p performance, which is great if you want to play most modern games. More impressively, the 16-inch screen can hit a whopping 280Hz refresh rate, and while you aren’t likely to hit that without a few graphical compromises, it’s great if you also want to play esports more competitively and can, therefore, prioritize framerates. In a similar vein, the 32GB of DDR5 RAM gives you a lot of versatility, whether you want to game, program, or create CAD stuff.

There are a lot of similarities between the Legion 7i and the Legion Pro 7i, and they’re all pretty excellent. That said, this configuration of the Legion 7i is perfect for those who need a lot of CPU performance since it comes with a very impressive Intel Core i9-14900HX, one of the best CPUs on the market. It also comes with the same RTX 4070 GPU as mentioned above, so it has excellent gaming performance, and the 16-inch screen runs a 2560 x 1600 resolution with framerates up to 240Hz, although the more impressive thing is the 500nits of peak brightness. As for the 16GB of RAM, it’s still really excellent and should give you a smooth day-to-day experience.

Whether it's lectures, late-night assignments, or streaming after class, these laptops are built to make the next few years a little easier.
Best laptops for back to school 2026 featuring Apple 2026 MacBook Neo

A laptop is probably the one purchase that'll have the biggest impact on the school year. It'll be there for lectures, late-night assignments, group projects, Netflix binges, and everything in between. The trick is finding one that fits both the workload and the budget. After narrowing down the options, these are the five laptops I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School, whether the priority is getting the most value, joining the Apple ecosystem, or investing in a machine that'll comfortably last through graduation.

These are the compact printers I’d actually recommend for back-to-school
From dorm room paperwork to instant selfie prints, there's a tiny printer for every need.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Everything is digital until the one professor who still wants a printed essay, or the lease you need to sign in ink, or the photo you want to stick on your dorm room’s wall. That's usually the exact moment you remember you don't own a printer anymore, and the nearest one is a library machine with a line out the door.

I looked at four compact printers that solve that problem without taking over your desk and breaking the bank. Two are built for documents, one is a proper all-in-one for actual home office work, and one has nothing to do with homework and everything to do with turning your camera roll into something you can hold.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the webcam lights I’d actually turn on before a Zoom call
From a budget clip light to a proper desk setup, there's a webcam light here for every price.
Head, Person, Face

Between online classes, group project calls, and the occasional job interview over Zoom, your webcam will be doing a lot more heavy lifting in school than it ever did at home. The problem is that most laptop cameras are bad in low light, and a single overhead bulb or a window behind you turns every call into a game of "wait, can you see me okay?"

A good webcam light fixes that faster than moving your whole desk around. I picked five, starting with the most affordable and working up to the one that's genuinely overkill for a Zoom call but still worth knowing about.
