It won’t be long before Black Friday deals return, and bargain hunters will have more than they can handle. If you are planning to take advantage of the annual shopping holiday to snag a budget laptop, Walmart Black Friday deals will be a good place to start.

You don’t have to wait until November 27 though, as some Black Friday laptop deals are already available. If you’re on a budget, you may want to consider Black Friday Chromebook deals, such as Walmart’s $100 discount for the Lenovo S330 Chromebook that brings the laptop’s price down to $199 from its original price of $299.

The Lenovo S330 Chromebook features a 14-inch anti-glare display that’s perfect for both working on documents and streaming your favorite shows. The laptop is powered by a quad-core MediaTek processor with 4GB of RAM, which is enough for daily use for school or work, and Lenovo promises up to eight hours of battery life so you won’t have to worry about running out of juice while you’re on the go.

The laptop is called a Chromebook because it’s powered by Google’s Chrome OS, which ditches installed software in favor of web-based apps that open on the Chrome browser. The laptop only has 32GB of eMMC storage as you will be mostly working on the cloud, but if you need extra space, its storage is expandable through a microSD card. Chromebooks require an active internet connection to maximize their capabilities, but the trade-off is low overhead for quick startups and snappy performance.

If you are in the market for a budget laptop, the Lenovo S330 Chromebook may be your perfect companion. It won’t match up to high-end gaming laptops, but for a device that can perform basic tasks while providing some entertainment options, it’s already a steal at its original price of $299. However, Walmart is offering the Lenovo S330 Chromebook at $100 off to lower its price to $199, in a deal that’s hard to ignore. There’s no assurance that it will be cheaper once Black Friday arrives, so if you want to have the laptop as soon as possible, and to avoid the chaos, you should click on that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

Lenovo’s next ThinkCenter desktop is ready to hit the shelves, but the price will make you blink twice

The ThinkCentre X is finally heading to the US with up to 256GB RAM, dual RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, and a price tag that rivals a used car.

If the phrase "future-proof desktop" means never worrying about running out of RAM again, Lenovo may have just built the ultimate machine. The company is preparing to launch its new ThinkCentre X workstation desktop in the US after making it available in several international markets. Built for AI workloads, professional content creation, and demanding enterprise applications, the desktop can be configured with up to 256GB of DDR5 memory, Intel's latest Core Ultra 9 processor, and support for dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPUs.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups

The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the budget laptops I’d actually recommend

From a $359 Chromebook to the cheapest way into macOS, these are the budget picks worth your money.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The back-to-school season often turns into a laptop, especially the budget ones that aren't too heavy on your wallet. Due to the ongoing memory crisis, most manufacturers have already bumped up their laptop prices, including Apple. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help you get a new machine. So, for this one, I spent time digging through spec sheets, customer ratings, and price tags, finding devices that don't just look cheap in an Amazon listing, but actually hold up.

From a flexible touchscreen Chromebook to the least expensive way into macOS, these six laptops balance price and performance well. I'd hand any one of them to a student heading back to campus this fall, depending on what they need and what their priorities are.
