Staying ahead of the game hinges on a few key components in your gaming laptop rig. After all, who wants to hop into a round of Fortnite or Counter-Strike 2 without a fast and powerful CPU and GPU holding things together? Fortunately, we’re always on the lookout for gaming PC deals, and we found one that’s very much worth mentioning:

Right now, you can purchase the Lenovo 16-inch Legion Pro 7 for $2,604. Marked down from $3,500, that’s a nice $896 discount, folks.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Legion Pro 7 laptop

Gaming laptops need a lot going on under the hood to keep up with modern graphics, frame rate, input lag, and online servers. The Legion Pro 7 is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 7945H CPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. And there’s 32GB of RAM to share between these core components. Spec wise, gamers are in for an absolute treat when using this machine.

The big 16-inch WGXGA IPS screen contains a 2,540 x 1,600 pixel spread. While it’s not 4K territory, this is a notch above 1080p HD. Whether you’re playing a newer game or streaming Netflix on the Legion Pro 7, bright and colorful picture quality is on tap. Peak brightness levels are nothing to shake a stick at either. This Legion Pro 7 is capable of pushing up to 500 nits during the brightest gameplay moments, and motion performance clocks in at 240Hz too.

The Legion 7 is no straggler when it comes to inputs either. The powerful PC has two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connections, which both support DisplayPort 1.4. As a bonus, the host USB-C can receive up to 140W from compatible chargers. We’re also glad to see an HDMI 2.1 port for situations where you’ll be connecting the Legion 7 to an external monitor (we’ve got plenty of monitor deals to peruse too!). For those unaware, HDMI 2.1 is the latest HDMI standard, and it includes several gaming optimizations (ALLM and VRR support are just a couple).

Additional features include the Lenovo Vantage dashboard, a SteelSeries audio system, and three months of Xbox Game Pass with EA Play on the house!

These types of PC deals don’t come around too often. So, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your current system, or want a new gaming laptop to travel with, look no further than the Lenovo 16-inch Legion Pro 7.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
