The sleekest 16-inch gaming laptop I've tested this year is $700 off right now
Briefly

Legion Pro 7i pairs a high-refresh 16-inch OLED display with flagship-class CPU and GPU, starting at 32GB RAM and 2TB storage. The system uses a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, with memory upgradeability to 96GB. The chassis delivers dramatic but customizable RGB lighting across a sleek, substantial frame that balances desk-bound power and occasional transport. The matte black finish attracts fingerprints. Per-key keyboard lighting, a full-size layout with prominent arrow keys and number pad, and a strong key travel contribute to a premium user experience suitable for gaming and creative workstation workloads.
The result is a sophisticated laptop with dramatic (but fully customizable) RGB lighting, a sleek form factor, and a stacked set of hardware. It starts out with 32GB of RAM, (upgradable to 96GB), 2TB of storage, a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. All this, combined with the 16-inch 500nit, 240Hz refresh OLED display makes for not only a competitive gaming machine, but a capable workstation for pro creatives, animators, and designers.
Unfortunately, the matte black finish is a fingerprint magnet, like many of Lenovo's other laptops (ahem -- ThinkPads) that, if this bugs you like it bugs me, will compel you to keep a cloth on hand. All of this is mitigated by the keyboard lighting, however, which can be adjusted per key to be as subtle or loud as you want.
