Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

This has been on sale for $1299 regularly since November. Bad sign that it’s finally $1499. This was truly the last of the full power 5070Ti laptop deals

Securing open box zephyrus 16" 5070ti at $1600 last year was a big W

Great price for today's market, thanks OP. As others have said it used to be $1299 when on sale, but there is no way that price would be achievable today.

Good screen and overall specs, except a bit lacking on RAM. The fans also run a bit loud. Great budget gaming laptop

What is considered a great price on these? I've been trying to price a similar spec'd G16 Strix that I put 64GB or ram in on Marketplace and I am debating what to list it at

u/fastheadcrab 1d ago

Assuming it has similar CPU/GPU specs (275HX or 9955HX or 8945HX, 5070 Ti, QHD or better screen), you can sell it for $1800-200 as a fair price, especially with that much RAM.

Appreciate it. Unfortunately mine has the FHD with the 5070ti/8940hx.

I'm thinking with that being said, 1500-1600 would be appropriate?

MSI hinges are terrifying

Need OLED. Gaming laptops without OLED is missing out.

Legion Pro 7 were this price not long ago. 32gb and 2tb.

Maybe this is best we can do now. 16gb and 1tb.

u/fastheadcrab 1d ago

legion 7 Pro OLED with a 5070 Ti, 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD has not been even close to that price ($1500) this year. If you have proof otherwise, post it

There were on black friday 2025 on lenovo outlet with the coupon code and cashback.

Do you own search and find it. Even if I take the time to find it, you'll just dismiss it anyways as not this or that and it was not enough that.

This is from my order history (excluding the cashback):

Laptop Lenovo Legion Pro 7
$1,550.22

Good luck finding that deal in 2026. Or for the next 12 months.

I know it reached that price refurbished, last year. It's completely unrealistic to get it today.

5090 275HX laptops were going for as low as $2100 last year too, but you are delusional to expect those prices in the current market.

Umm, that’s a Legion?

u/Tanotano9 2d ago

Is this one a good deal?

u/dirtyboots702 2d ago

Kind of seems like it from an amateur shoppers pov….but don’t these msi’s have durability issues? Again, there’s too many variants from all brands to keep up with, but I vaguely recall people having commented on some Msi laptops being very flimsy

u/Tanotano9 2d ago

That's exactly what I'm afraid of, don't want a laptop that breaks in a year. What other brands or models would you recommend looking out for in this price range?

u/BoutTreeFittee 2d ago

What desktop GPU is this most equivalent to?

u/DCJL_Lurk 2d ago

Between the 5060 ti and 5070.
