Lenovo Cyber Monday Sale: The Best Deals on Legion Gaming PCs and Laptops image The Lenovo Cyber Monday Sale is under way and it's time for you to score some great Cyber Monday deals on their Legion and LOQ lineup of gaming laptops and desktop PCs. These deals start now and run until the end of day on Monday, November 27. There are two coupon codes available right now: a 5% off Lenovo coupon code "EXTRA5" that's available throughout the year and a new coupon code specifically for Cyber Monday. Some of the deals below are eligible for both coupons. It doesn't work on all configs, but it does work on a lot. You might be interested in these Cyber Monday articles. The best Cyber Monday gaming PC deals The best Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals The best Dell Cyber Monday Sale deals The best HP Cyber Monday Sale deals Lenovo Coupons for Cyber Monday Xbox Core Wireless Controller for $34.99 Lenovo has the official Microsoft Xbox Core Wireless Controller for for Xbox Series X|S consoles for only $34.99 after you apply a $5 off coupon code "MXBOXWH" in your shopping cart. Only the Robot White color is available at this price, so if you want a fancier color you'll have to look elsewhere. This is the lowest price we've seen for the Xbox controller for Black Friday. Lenovo Cyber Monday Deals on Gaming PCs Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better and more rugged build quality than what you'd find from most other prebuilt PCs. People like the fact that Lenovo does not use many proprietary components in their rigs, so the PCs are much easier to upgrade with easiy obtainable, off-the-shelf parts. Lenovo gaming rigs employ solid cooling even if you opt for the base models, although the best models do come with a super robust 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution. Finally, Lenovo's warranty and tech support is more proven and more reliable than most boutique builders. Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 RTX 4070 PC for $1231.99 The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 8 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU is cooled by a very robust air-cooled 120mm tower heatsink. There are three additional 120mm system fans to maintain proper ambient temps, both for the CPU and the rest of the components. The GeForce RTX 4070 matches the performance of the RTX 3080. Unlike the RTX 3080, it features DLSS 3.0, so it will perform better on games that support it. This is an outstanding card for both 1080p and 1440p gaming, although it can do perfectly well in 4K depending on the games you play and your settings. Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4070 Ti Gaming PC for $1629 This config is housed in a Legion Tower 7 case, which is physically larger in size and accomodates three more system fans than the Legion Tower 5 case for even better airflow: two more 120mm fans up top and one more 120mm fan up front for a total of 6 fans. The RTX 4070 Ti performs better significantly better than the RTX 4070 or 3080. This is a better card if you want to push very high refresh rates at 1440p or if you want something that can handle 4K comfortably without paying over $1K for an RTX 4080 or 4090. Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 RTX 4080 PC for $2069.99 This Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-13700KF CPU, GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The RTX 4080 is a beast of a GPU that should run any game you can throw at it, even at 4K resolution. On the AMD front, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can keep up (and that's if you ignore DLSS and ray tracing). Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 8 RTX 3060 Gaming PC for $759.99 Despite its very low price, this Lenovo Legion tower is surprisingly very well equipped. It has a 13th gen Intel Core i5-13400F processor, a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD. That's pretty impressive for a budget $799 gaming PC no matter how you look at it. Lenovo Cyber Monday Deals on Gaming Laptops Lenovo Cyber Monday deals require more elbow grease to find because the best deals are often hidden in a sea of configs that aren't really discounted very much. That said, the actual deals are sometimes very very good. Lenovo Legion laptops are generally priced higher than similarly configured gaming laptops from other vendors so finding a deal on Cyber Monday is extra rewarding. Specifically look for deals on Lenovo Legion 5 and 7 Pro laptops, but you'll also find deals on Lenovo's new budget-minded LOQ laptops as well. Several of their deals can be further discounted with the 5% off sitewide coupon code "EXTRA5". Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 8 16" RTX 4090 Gaming Laptop for $2750 Apply TWO coupons: "HOLIDAYSURPRISE" AND "EXTRA5" (no quotes) This is Lenovo's most powerful gaming laptop on sale for Cyber Monday. The 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900HX Raptor Lake CPU is one of Intel's fastest mobile gaming chips. It's paired with the monstrous RTX 4090 mobile GPU, which is roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU. That means this GPU is capable of 4K gaming. Since the display is QHD+ instead of 4K, there should be ample headroom to run max settings and even ray tracing enabled while maintaining comfortable fps.

The Best Cyber Monday 70-inch TV Deals image Cyber Monday 2023 is here and, if your celebrations are anything like mine, a pretty good bit of the holiday season is spent around the TV, whether it's watching A Christmas Story, Elf, football games, or whatever else you get into. For my money, 70" TVs are a fantastic sweet spot between huge size and value (my wife actually wanted to upgrade to a 70" after playing Halo split-screen on our old 45" TV, if you need a good argument). Currently, there are a handful of really solid 70" TVs discounted as part of Cyber Monday, so you can get a great TV from a respected manufacturer for very reasonable prices for a limited time.
