Lenovo is hosting a massive clearance this weekend, with laptop deals reaching savings of up to 68% off in the latest back to school sales. These are mostly last generation specs, but there are some great prices up for grabs considering the power they offer. That makes them perfect for picking up a cheap, but capable, laptop for college. 

Highlights include the Lenovo ThinkPad X280 offering up a slimline, portable 12.5-inch laptop for 65% off (opens in new tab), as well as a 14-inch ThinkPad T495s now available for $817.76 (opens in new tab). Further up the price scale, however, this ThinkPad T490S is up for just $1,103 (opens in new tab), offering a speedy i7 processor and 512GB of SSD storage. Use promo code CLEARANCE8 to claim these extra savings, but don't take too long - these offers run out on Sunday. 

If you missed out on these offers, we're expecting this year's Black Friday deals to bring more laptop sales as well.

There are plenty more laptop deals, cheap monitors, desktops, and accessories up for grabs this weekend as well, so shop the full Lenovo clearance sale (opens in new tab) for extra savings. We're rounding up our top picks of the best laptop deals just below.

Lenovo ThinkPad X280 12.5-inch laptop: $2,079 $707.48 at Lenovo (opens in new tab)
This is a slightly older spec than the 10th generation processors we're used to seeing, and it's certainly been a while since that $2,000 web price was paid. However, $707 is still a great price for this premium laptop, offering up an all day, fast charging battery, a fingerprint scanner, and Thunderbolt-3 support. You'll find 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD inside this laptop as well.

There's a Ryzen 7 Pro quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and AMD Radeon Vega 10 graphics inside this $817 laptop deal at Lenovo. To be honest, we can't imagine this machine was retailing at over $2,000 any time recently, but that's still a great price for such a configuration on this lightweight, slim-bezel machine.
