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.

Can AI audiobooks narrate better than humans? This study says many listeners think so
New study finds listeners favor AI narrated audiobooks over traditional human narration in blind testing.

You might assume most listeners would pick a real human voice over a synthetic one, but a new study says otherwise. Edison Research at SSRS surveyed 1,005 fiction audiobook fans in May 2026 for a study commissioned by AI audio company Spoken. The twist is that listeners rated the AI narration higher, and they did not even know it was AI until after they heard it (via Variety).

Gemini can make sense of the world around you, but don’t let it observe your children just yet
AI can spot what a child is doing, but figuring out what it means still takes a human expert
Kid using an iPad

Google's Gemini models are becoming remarkably good at understanding videos, images, and conversations. A new study shows AI can even identify subtle behaviors in parent-child interactions with impressive accuracy. But here's the catch: while Gemini can reliably observe what is happening, researchers say it should not be trusted to decide what those behaviors actually mean.

Worth noting is that the study used Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is not Google's most advanced AI. That means future models could improve the results even further. Even so, the researchers argue that human experts remain essential.
