With all the jargon surrounding a device like a laptop, plus with so many different models to choose from, finding a great deal can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you aren't sure of what you're after, here's a quick guide to what each device family from Lenovo has to offer.

ThinkPads are aimed at business and professional users. These machines often have powerful components under the hood, and in some cases can do double duty as entry-level gaming laptops as well.

For more hardcore gaming capabilities, though, you'll want to look at the Legion range, which come with powerful discrete graphics options. Of course, the newer and faster the GPU, the higher the price, but there are still plenty of Legion bargains – even options with Nvidia's powerful 3000-series RTX graphics chips – available this November.

When it comes to ultrabooks or 2-in-1s, look to Lenovo's IdeaPad or Yoga ranges, which offer something for everyone at a variety of price points.

In Australia, Lenovo offers two affordable Chromebooks – the 10-inch IdeaPad Duet 2-in-1 and the 11-inch IdeaPad Flex 3i.
