Lenovo’s Memorial Day Sale just started — 6 laptop deals I’d shop

By

Mother’s Day is just barely behind us and we’re already seeing Memorial Day sales. This year’s Memorial Day is not until the 27th, but if you’re excited to start shopping (or just really want a laptop) now is a great time to shop Lenovo. Lenovo is considered one of the best laptop brands of 2024, prized for both their longstanding commitment to durability and reliability in lines like ThinkPad and IdeaPad as well as more recent forays into extra-portable laptops and some of the best 2-in-1 laptops. As their Memorial Day sale is on, which laptops from their lineup should you consider purchasing? Here are our six favorites, presented to you from the most affordable to the most expensive after sale prices have been applied.

This 13-inch laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage has something unique on its backside: A fabric top cover. It’s a stain-resistant fabric that will bring a unique look and soft feel to the top of your laptop and will give the people that cover their laptop tops with stickers a run for their money in the uniqueness department. If you’re a gamer, you’ll also appreciate the 3 months of Xbox Game Pass that come with your purchase.

Supported by 16GB of RAM and an anti-glare WUXGA monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, you can do some pretty decent strategy gaming on this ThinkPad, though that’s not its main focus. Instead, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 wants to get you busy, with a complete-with-numpad ergonomic keyboard, all the ports you’ll need, and WiFi 6E connectivity. An additional chip, the dTPM 2.0 secure chip, will also add extra encryption and security for your work documents.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 is designed to be an office powerhouse and a digital nomad’s collaboration suite. Your work and security are backed by Lenovo’s ThinkShield, a sort of cocktail of Lenovo security features. One particularly interesting feature you should be aware of is the “self-healing BIOS” which can restored information should your laptop become corrupted. When you’re ready for a meeting, your voice input will go through a noise cancellation field to reduce the amount of your background noise your listeners have to deal with. (You’ll still need noise-canceling headphones to reduce the amount of your background noise you have to deal with.) The ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 has a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 16-inch WUXGA screen.
