Among the bevy of OEM PC builders flooding the market, Lenovo is one of the more respected brands out there (and we like them ourselves). Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops offer no-nonsense build quality and premium materials, powerful components with adequate cooling, and a stalwart warranty. They're generally priced at the higher end of the spectrum... except on Black Friday when everything is backwards.
Nay, on Black Friday Lenovo offers such deep discounts that they can out-price any other comparable system on the market. The caveat is that (1) only a few select configurations are on sale and (2) the coupons aren't advertised on its site so unless you're deal-savvy enough to check out an article like this one, you'll probably miss the deals. Fortunately, that's what we're here for. Here are the ten best Black Friday deals I've found so far.
Lenovo Legion Tower 7 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,090
For Black Friday, Lenovo has dropped the price of the Legion Tower 7 RTX 5080 gaming PC to $2,089.99 after you apply coupon code "EXTRAFIVE" in cart for a combined total of over $1,700 in savings.

This configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz of RAM, and a 2TB SSD.
The RTX 5080 is the second best Blackwell graphics card, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's about 5%-10% faster than the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, which is discontinued and no longer available. In games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the gap widens. This is an outstanding card for playing even the latest games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled. Check out our RTX 5080 GPU review.
Lenovo Legion RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $1,650

Curiously, this gaming PC is equipped with a laptop processor, albeit a powerful one. The 255HX is traditionally a mobile CPU that's found in laptops, and it's important to note that mobile CPUs are soldered onto the motherboard so they can't be user-upgraded. If you don't intend on swapping the CPU on a prebuilt computer (and let's face it, most people won't), then rest assured you'll get excellent performance out of this chip.
The RTX 5070 Ti is a traditional desktop model graphics card with 16GB of RAM and 1,406 AI TOPS. The RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck in terms of 4K gaming performance. It performs neck-and-neck with the previous generation RTX 4080 Super and pulls ahead in any game that supports DLSS 4. It is fully capable of running any game in 4K at 60fps.
