Lenovo Black Friday laptop deals are live: up to 45% off ThinkPad, Yoga, and Legion
9 excellent laptop deals - all covered by Lenovo's Black Friday price guarantee
The big day itself is quickly closing in now, but there's actually no need to wait until Black Friday if you're on the hunt for a new laptop. The official Lenovo Store is just one of the big laptop retailers to have launched a huge early sale this week, and it's featuring some of the best deals I've seen this entire year on our favorite models from the brand.
I've been looking through Lenovo's huge sale today to find the very best deals from the brand, and I've found some superb options for all budgets. Just below, you can see my recommendations on everything from cheap machines for work to high-end gaming laptops.
My options start with this IdeaPad Slim 3x for $549 (was $749), which I think is an incredible choice for most people. It's a Snapdragon-based model, so some more niche apps may not be supported, but it's going to provide an excellent level of performance and unbeatable battery life for the money. For basic things like browsing, emails, and shopping Black Friday deals, this machine is fantastic.
Other great options include the Lenovo ThinkPad 14 for $689 (was $969) and the ThinkPad E16 for $909 (was $1,239). The ThinkPad brand has become synonymous with reliable (if somewhat boring) Windows workhorse machines, and both these options feature excellent components to provide a few good years of fuss-free computing.
Finally, don't hesitate to check out incredible gaming laptop deals like the Legion 5 for $1,079 (was $1,314) and the Legion 5 Pro for $1,499 (was $2,299). These are pricey buys, for sure, but they both feature a high-end OLED display that's worth the price of admission. I've also included a few cheaper options just down below for all the gamers on a budget.

If I had a smaller budget, I'd be highly tempted by this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with a Snapdragon X. This chipset gives this lightweight machine superb battery life and more than enough power for everyday tasks. Although it's a slightly larger 15-inch model, there's no doubt this one is a great choice for casual users who want something that can go the distance. As a Snapdragon-based model, however, make sure that all your favorite apps are fully compatible before you jump on board.

Considering you're also getting a premium OLED display, Ryzen 7 chipset, and a 1TB SSD, this is a superb machine for the money. The only downside? You only get 16GB of RAM right out of the box with this configuration, which makes this machine a prime candidate for a DIY upgrade down the line.
