Lenovo’s Memorial Day sale has pushed one of its most ridiculous gaming desktops to its lowest price of the year — and yes, this thing is properly overkill.
The deal highlighted by IGN is for the Lenovo Legion 7 Gen 10 / Legion Tower 7 configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. After Lenovo’s automatic GAMEON coupon, the price drops to US$4,657.49 with free shipping in the US.
For Malaysia readers, that is roughly around RM22,000 before any local shipping, tax, import, or warranty headaches depending on exchange rate. So no, this is not exactly “cheap” in our market. But for a fully built RTX 5090 machine with this spec sheet, it is still worth paying attention to — especially if you follow high-end PC pricing or are planning a no-compromise gaming/editing/AI rig.
What’s inside the Legion Tower 7?
This configuration is stacked:
- Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 32GB graphics card
- 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM
- 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD
- 1,200W power supply
- Six 120mm fans, including three fans for a 360mm liquid cooling system
The Core Ultra 9 285K is a 24-core chip with boost speeds up to 5.7GHz. It is no longer Intel’s newest king, but it still sits in the serious-performance tier for gaming, content creation, productivity, and AI workloads.
The real headline, obviously, is the RTX 5090. Nvidia’s current flagship consumer GPU is basically the “I want the best, don’t ask me about value” option. IGN notes that this generation leans heavily into software, AI features, and DLSS 4, but the raw raster performance still lands around 25% to 30% above the RTX 4090. That is gila territory, especially for 4K gaming, heavy ray tracing, AI tools, and creator workloads.
Why Malaysian PC gamers should care
For most gamers in Malaysia, this is not the practical buy. A RM22k-plus desktop is way beyond what you need for Valorant, Dota 2, Genshin, Wuthering Waves, or even most AAA games at 1440p. You can build a very strong RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4080-class, or future mid-high tier PC for much less.
But this deal matters because it shows where ultra-premium prebuilt pricing is heading. If you are a streamer, 3D artist, video editor, AI tinkerer, or someone building a “last me five years minimum” workstation-gaming hybrid, these big-brand RTX 5090 towers are the machines to benchmark against.
Lenovo also has one advantage that matters for PC people: its Legion desktops generally avoid annoying proprietary parts. That means future upgrades should be easier with standard off-the-shelf components, which is a big deal compared to some prebuilts that trap you with weird motherboards, power supplies, or case layouts. IGN also previously reviewed last year’s Legion 7i desktop and came away positive on build quality and performance, though this newer 2025 model has not been reviewed yet.
One coupon warning
IGN also points out a slightly cursed checkout detail: if the product page shows a clickable 5% coupon, do not click it. Doing that may remove the better automatic GAMEON discount, making the final price higher. Apparently, the reset path is to clear cache or start again in incognito mode. Very checkout boss fight behaviour.
Bottom line: this Legion Tower 7 deal is not a casual recommendation for Malaysian gamers. It is expensive, US-focused, and likely messy once you factor in local logistics. But as a snapshot of top-tier RTX 5090 prebuilt pricing, it is still useful — and the spec sheet is undeniably beast mode.
