June is turning out to be an unexpectedly great time to pick up a new laptop as the official Lenovo Store has just kicked off its 'Black Friday in June' sale.

No, you aren't imagining things - Black Friday is in November, but that hasn't stopped Lenovo from offering serious price cuts on ThinkPad, ThinkBook, and gaming laptops of all shapes and sizes.

I've been scanning through Lenovo's sale today to find my top picks, and in short, there are some really decent options. If you're a college student, a professional working from home, or a gamer looking for your next machine, then you could be in luck.

For a real bang-for-the-buck option, consider this Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 7 for $789 (was $1,089) with its Ryzen 7 chipset and 16GB of RAM. Another fantastic choice is the ThinkPad E14 Gen 7 for $1,049 (was $1,479), which is very similar to the machine I use for work daily myself. You can read more about these laptops, and three other top picks, just below.

Today's sale at Lenovo arrives in a busy week for deals. Amazon's huge Prime Day sale is set to start tomorrow, but between you and me, I usually find Lenovo to be the more consistent retailer for own-brand machines. While you're here, make sure to use the code BUYMORELENOVO at checkout to get an additional discount of up to $100.

Lenovo Legion 5a Gen 11
Lenovo Legion 5a Gen 11: was $2,249.99 now $1,507.99 at Lenovo USA

Graphics card: RTX 5060
Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9 465
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 1TB

Of all of today's gaming laptop deals at Lenovo, this Legion 5a is my favorite. Yes, it's expensive for a machine with a mid-range RTX 5060 graphics card, but you get an impressive Ryzen 9 chipset to really make the most of it. The selling point here, however, is the Legion 5a's premium OLED display, which is a cut above the usual screens found on cheaper gaming laptops.
