The Lenovo Presidents' Day sale is now underway, with large savings of up to 81% available on a wide selection of laptops and PCs. Whether you've got $200 to spend on a super-cheap device or are after an excellent value-for-money 2-in-1 machine, we've picked out some of the best early doorbuster laptop deals right here.

Easily the best deal if you need a budget option is this Lenovo ThinkPad 11e for $199 (was $659). I track all the best laptop deals available each week, and this one stands out, in particular, because it comes with some surprisingly powerful components for the price – ones that are rarely seen together in laptops for less than $200.

Specifically, there's 8GB of RAM that will give it a decent performance boost for work, browsing, and video streaming. Plus, there's a 128GB SSD to ensure you have enough storage for your most important files, applications, photos, and videos. Combine that with the small 11-inch form factor, and you've got a cheap and lively portable laptop that's ideal for school or for those always on the go.

For a device with a little more power and versatility behind it, consider this Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i that's now down to $589.99 (was $909.99). It does come at a premium as it's a 2-in-1 device, but it's worth paying a little extra to get more high-end components to help chew through all your needs. And the over $300 discount takes the sting out considerably.

With an Intel i5 processor inside, as well as a reasonable 8GB of RAM and a large 512GB SSD, you'll have everything you need to get through the majority of everyday computing tasks with ease. Plus, the 360-degree hinge means you can flip the 14-inch full-HD screen around for smoother navigation and a more comfortable experience when watching videos. Compared to many other current laptop deals in this price range, it offers a lot for the money if you need an all-around device.

Lenovo is exaggerating a little with the discount here, as we don't believe for a moment that this laptop was ever $659. Still, the price it's available for right now is excellent for a laptop with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It's rare to find both of these in a device for less than $200. Both will give this otherwise basic and compact 11-inch Windows machine a solid performance boost so that it can comfortably keep up with everyday use, schoolwork, admin tasks, and general browsing.

If you'd prefer a larger 15-inch display, then this Lenovo IdeaPad 5i offers similar components and a near-identical level of performance to the Dell above - but just has that bigger screen. There's even a dedicated graphics card inside, too. It's a very basic option but will make light gaming a little easier if you like to play a few less graphically intensive titles after work on the same device.
