I review gaming laptops for a living, and this deal slashes $500 off my Editor's Choice pick with RTX 5080 power
I know because I was watching laptop prices like a hawk last week, and one of the best deals I've seen all month is still available. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5080 is $2,999 at B&H, which is $500 off the usual asking price.
This is a great deal on an Editor's Choice gaming laptop packing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU, an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage driving a gorgeous 16-inch (2400x1600) 240Hz OLED display.
This is the best price I've ever seen on this premium Lenovo gaming laptop, which I actually reviewed earlier this year. If you read my Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review you'll see why I gave it our Editor's Choice award.
Lenovo's Legion Pro 7i delivers a killer one-two punch of great gaming performance and a gorgeous 1600p HDR-capable OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate. The only major downside is the high price, but you can take the sting out of that with this post-Prime Day deal.
The Legion Pro 7i is a great value at this price because the power of the RTX 5080 and Intel Core i9 CPU (not to mention the 32GB of RAM) mean you can basically use this laptop as a desktop gaming PC that folds up for easy transport.
Admittedly, it's quite heavy, but so are almost all 16-inch gaming laptops. And since the battery life isn't amazing (my review unit lasted just over 90 minutes while gaming on battery, or nearly 5 hours when surfing the web), you'll want to keep the Pro 7i plugged in on a desk most of the time.
But this thing looks good on a desk thanks to its sturdy, elegant chassis, and you get all the ports you need for serious gaming: USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1 out and an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for high-speed hardwired online gaming. Plus, it supports Wi-Fi 7 and sports a spacious, comfy keyboard.
I'm a big fan of the RTX 5080 model and it's the best deal you can get on this laptop right now, but there are other versions also on sale if you're looking to spend a little less—or more.
If you want the very best model you can get, for example, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5090 is $3,599, $400 off the usual price.
This model of Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is top-of-the-line thanks to its high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That's more than enough power to make all your favorite games run beautifully on the eye-catching 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display.
But if that's a bit too pricey for you, you can save some money without sacrificing much in terms of power by snagging the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5070 Ti for $2,499 at B&H .
This is the cheapest model of this laptop you can get right now, but it's no slouch thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU complementing the usual Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.
This is one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on this laptop and one of the best gaming laptop deals I've seen since Prime Day, but I don't know how long it will last, so act fast if you want to save big on one of the best gaming laptops around!

Amazon's Still Running Prime Deal on the Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Air Fryer Oven, Limited Stock Available
When a one-time purchase pops up that can make your meal prep far, far easier, it's well worth a look. When that purchase is 24% off — an $80 price cut — and it's on a proven brand like the Ninja Foodi, you jump in with both feet. So prepare to leap, because Amazon has as post-Prime Day limited-time deal selling the Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Smart XL Air Fry Oven for just $250. When you see that the Ninja Foodi Smart XL can make everything from toast to a 5-pound chicken or roast and do it all with precise cooking levels that bring out all of the flavor, you'll start eyeballing your counters and shelves to see how many kitchen appliances the Foodi can replace. Answer: Several, because the Foodi Smart XL has 10 cook modes and 10 times the convection power of a traditional full-size convection oven. See at Amazon OK, so the Ninja Foodi Smart XL does not make soup. Or nuts. But we're having a hard time coming up with things that it doesn't cook, and cook exceptionally well. For the uninitiated, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL is a convection oven, which means it cooks with super-heated air that's circulated throughout the cooking chamber at great speed. The result is faster cooking, and food that is heated far more evenly, particularly when it comes to browning or crisping items. The Ninja Foodi XL comes with upgrades over most other convection ovens, namely its high-velocity fan that moves the hot air faster and more thoroughly, and a rear heat source in addition to the top and bottom infrared heating elements so your food is surrounded by fast-moving heat for even cooking levels. As its name says, the Ninja Foodi Smart XL has 10 cooking functions and is great at all of them: Whole Roast, Air Roast, Air Fry, Pizza, Bake, Dehydrate, Broil, Toast, Bagel, and Reheat. (Sorry, no soup.) The precise temperature control ranging between 85 and 450 degrees is the secret sauce here, and the digital display in the front of the Foodi lets you choose which mode you need. Amazingly, you can even do 2-level cooking — air-fried vegetables on top and a large roast below — at the same time, and everything comes out delicious. The Foodi Smart XL's built-in smart thermometer that keeps an eye on your meal and lets you know when it's ready to come out. The Ninja Foodi Smart XL's adjustable slots hold the various included accessories — 2 wire racks, 2 sheet pans, an air fry basket, and a roast tray, and the removable crumb tray at the bottom makes for easy cleanup. The Ninja Foodi Smart XL is smarter, faster, healthier food prep, all combined into one compact countertop machine. It's $80 off right now at Amazon, a huge score for your kitchen at just $250.

This AI-Powered Shark Robot Vacuum Is a Staggering $350 Off at Amazon
While we may not have robots cooking our meals or fully automated houses yet, we do have handy robot vacuums to help keep our floors clean. One of our favorites is the Shark AV2501AE, which uses AI to navigate. This robot vacuum ordinarly retails at $650, but right now you can pick it up at an incredible discount. Amazon has slashed $350 off the usual price, which drops it down to just $300. That's a 54% discount, one of the lowest prices we've seen for this advanced robot vacuum. This deal is listed as a limited-time offer, so we don't expect a bargain this good to be available for long. For that reason, we'd recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later. The last time we saw this exact model go on sale, it was down to $330 so this price beats that by $30. This Shark Robot vacuum has some fancy features that make it a pretty great value for the price. It boasts 650 watts of power so it can handle serious messes, and and has a self-cleaning roller brush that won't get tangled with hair -- making it a great option for homes with heavy shedders. It's equipped with Lidar navigation to avoid obstacles and map your home, and uses AI to generate the optimal cleaning route. Plus, you can use the companion app to set a custom cleaning schedule or room-by-room cleaning. It also comes with a self-emptying base station that can hold up to 60-days worth of debris so you can go around two months without having to empty the base. Why this deal matters There are plenty of more affordable robot vacuums on the market that only offer the basics, but this Shark model offers more advanced features like AI optimization, room-by-room scheduling and a large self-emptying base station. It's pretty rare to get all these kinds of features for less than $500, which makes this deal a pretty great bargain. The last time we saw this exact model on sale back in March, it was down to $330, which was a great price. At only $300, it doesn't get much better. But if you're looking for other options, don't skip our full roundup of vacuum deals with plenty of variety from top brands.

I'm a professional baker — 10 kitchen tools I've tried and would re-buy (so many are on sale right now)
In my friend group, I'm definitely the personality hire, except when it comes to cooking advice. After a decade of working on food trucks and in bakeries (even opening my own in 2015), I've become the go-to person to ask, 'Why did my cookies go flat?' or 'What should I make for Easter dinner?' Cooking and baking professionally, combined with years of trial and error as a home cook, means I've tested (and tossed) a lot of kitchen equipment in my life. Over the years, I've formed very strong opinions about what to splurge on and what to skip altogether when it comes to outfitting your kitchen. I've cooked up a list of my favourite kitchen appliances, utensils, and accessories that have proven to be ride-or-die for the everyday home chef. My favourites range from investment pieces like a Staub Dutch Oven to a set of silicon baking mats that are under $15. And the best part? So many items are still on sale after Amazon Prime Day 2025. Keep scrolling for the best Amazon kitchen deals. Related post-Prime Day articles: 60 best extended Amazon Prime Day deals you can still shop in Canada — Apple, Nespresso, Dyson and more 20 of the most popular deals Yahoo Canada readers bought during Amazon Prime Day 2025 Amazon Prime Day is over, but this 'lifesaver' power bar is still on sale for $16 I can't be the only little girl who dreamed of owning an entire line-up of Dutch ovens, all matching in the same bold colour. When it finally came time to invest in one of my own, the research was all pointing to one brand: Staub. I opted for their 5.5-qt Round Cocotte, realizing very quickly it's the only Dutch oven I will ever need to own. Made in France, these hefty pots are built to last, transferring seamlessly from stovetop cooking to oven braising. Trust me: It's more than worth the investment. This may be surprising, but this set of mini spatulas is my most-used item in my kitchen. I actually have two sets because they're just that good. These spatulas are perfect for everything from getting the last little morsels out of a jar of honey to cooking scrambled eggs. I find myself reaching for one multiple times a day. This set has the lowest cost per use of any tool in my entire kitchen. As a professional baker, an accurate food scale can be the difference between an airy loaf of sourdough and an inedible brick of flour. I recently switched to the Oxo Good Grips Food Scale, and it has upped my baking game tenfold. The unique feature of this scale is the pull-out display, making it easy to see no matter the size of the bowl you choose. This scale's utility goes way beyond a dynamite focaccia dough — perfectly portioning bulk groceries and divving up this week's prepped meals. Please accept this as my formal declaration of love for hand blenders. Do I have a traditional blender and also a food processor? Yes. Do I reach for either of those even half as much as I reach for my KitchenAid Hand Blender? Not even close. Soups, sauces, jams, compound butters — do I need to go on? I still have the exact KitchenAid Hand Blender I opened my bakery with ten years ago, and it hasn't skipped a beat. You often hear chefs say that the one tool you need in your kitchen is a high-quality knife—this fact became very clear when I finally bought one for myself. I've become a huge fan of the entire catalogue of Global Knives since purchasing my first one a few years ago, but even with a drawer full of knives I'm always reaching for the GS90 Santoku Knife. The super sharp fluted blade makes chopping vegetables less of a chore, and the lightweight handle fits perfectly in my small hands. There are dozens of digital thermometers on the market these days, ranging in price from $10 to more than $100. You may be shocked to find that the thermometer I've trusted for over five years is one of the most inexpensive on the market. I use the Thermo Digital Thermometer for everything from checking whether my roast chicken is cooked through to making sure boiled sugar is hot enough to turn into marshmallows. It's compact and easy to read, and I can't even remember the last time I needed to change the batteries—sometimes, simplicity is best when it comes to cooking. Getting to feed delicious things to the people I love is a big part of why I enjoy cooking. After years of entertaining, I recently found a new favourite hosting hack: Pacolit P's Warming Mat. The pressure of making sure everything on the Thanksgiving table is ready at the same time has finally been lifted. This mat has three temperature settings to keep the mashed potatoes from cooling while you're carving the turkey. I'm never hosting another dinner party without it. A bench scraper is a non-negotiable tool in any kitchen I cook in. I first learned how handy they can be working in professional bakeries, and it turns out they're just as useful in my home kitchen. Dividing pizza dough, scrapping flour off counters, and scooping up chopped onions — this may be the most versatile tool in my kitchen that's under $20! The Anaeat scraper has the added benefit of measuring guides, making it the perfect gift for amateur bakers. It doesn't take a professional baker to know that KitchenAid Stand Mixers don't always do the greatest job of incorporating everything in the bowl. I've owned five of their mixers, and the one thing that consistently improves every batter and dough is the Flex Edge Beater. The added silicone covering drastically reduces the number of times I find myself scraping down the bowl with a spatula, often allowing me to skip that frustrating step altogether. Whether in my home kitchen or a professional bakery, I always find that most of my waste is parchment paper. Silicone baking mats not only reduce my use of parchment paper, but they also save my pans from the wear and tear of stuck-on food. Pro tip: If you've ever pulled out your hair trying to master a French macaron, a silicone mat may be the missing piece. 38% off: Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Egg Cooker | Shop for $18 $29 Take 38% off an ecozy Countertop Ice Maker | Shop for $99 $160 30% off a Philips Series 3300 Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine | Shop for $700 $1,000 Take 48% off a Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine | Shop for $99 $18 Save 19% on a CyberChill Slushie Machine | Shop for $243 $300 Save 77% on a Canoly Masticating Juicer | Shop for $149 $640 52% off: HOSHANHO Kitchen Knife | Shop for $38 $80 Take 38% off a Keurig K-Supreme Plus K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker | Shop for $130 $209 31% off: KitchenAid Digital Air Fryer Countertop Oven | Shop for $200 $288
