3 best laptop deals we recommend from the Lenovo back to school sale

The Lenovo back to school sale is now underway with up to 72% off a vast selection of IdeaPad, ThinkPad, Yoga and Legion devices. In addition, students and teachers save an extra 10% if you link your ID.me account and verify your details, so there are some excellent deals up for grabs if you need a new laptop.

Our pick of the bunch? This Lenovo Yogi 7i for $999.99 (was $1,349.99). It's a pricey option but you get a lot for the money; including terrific all-around performance thanks to the latest generation Intel i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a large 1TB SSD for speedy storage. It's a flexible 2-in-1 device, too, giving you the added versatility of a tablet mode with its 14-inch touchscreen and stylus.

For those looking to spend a little less and not in need of all that power, this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Chromebook for $349.99 (was $549.99) is a solid buy. The lightweight Chrome OS means performance is good for basic tasks and schoolwork - even with cheaper components. 

You still get 8GB of RAM and a reasonable 128GB SSD, which is enough for all your key files and applications. Plus, it's easily portable at 14 inches in size and the lengthy battery life means you can use it for a day at school or college without worrying about charging it.

Those are just two options from the dozens of laptop deals available now at Lenovo. You can browse all the offers from the sale or see more info on our top picks below.
