Who doesn’t love a great doorbuster sale? Especially when the big-ticket savings are on items like TVs, desktop computers, and the focus of today’s entry: powerful workplace laptops. We’re talking about the Lenovo ThinkPad, a classic office workhorse that just so happens to be marked down by its manufacturer. We’re specifically referring to the ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 model.

Right now, you’ll be able to order this excellent Windows 11 setup for $995. At full price, this PC sells for $2,030. This is a massive discount on a tried and true Lenovo design. We have a feeling we’re going to be seeing a lot of Lenovo ThinkPad deals in the lead-up to Labor Day too. That being said, we recommend keeping your eyes peeled for exceptional discounts on these fast and powerful PCs.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad E16

Powered by an Intel Core i7-1355U CPU with P-cores up to 5GHz, integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 24GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, the ThinkPad E16 is your one-stop-shop for all digitized daily duties. Whether you’re running multiple open browser tabs, or several demanding desktop apps, the E16 is engineered to keep up and stay sharp. Need more hard drive space? We’ve got a whole list of SSD deals for you to scan through!

We’re also glad to see a 1080p FHD RBG camera with dual mics and a privacy shutter, as well as a fingerprint reader for locking down your documents when you’re not near your laptop. As for the screen, you’ll be working with a gorgeous 16-inch WUXGA IPS panel. Dishing out up to 300 nits for peak brightness, the anti-glare screen even makes it easy to use your ThinkPad outside on a bright, sunny day.

On a full charge, you can expect somewhere between 10 to 12 hours of battery life. Lenovo also provides a one-year onsite warranty for this product. It’s hard for us to say how long this sale is going to last, but we can definitely tell you we’ve been seeing a lot of Lenovo laptop deals of late.

Save $1,034 when you order the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 through Lenovo, but act fast before this deal disappears!

Shopping for a Back-to-school laptop? These are the laptops I’d recommend

Whether it's lectures, late-night assignments, or streaming after class, these laptops are built to make the next few years a little easier.

Best laptops for back to school 2026 featuring Apple 2026 MacBook Neo

A laptop is probably the one purchase that'll have the biggest impact on the school year. It'll be there for lectures, late-night assignments, group projects, Netflix binges, and everything in between. The trick is finding one that fits both the workload and the budget. After narrowing down the options, these are the five laptops I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School, whether the priority is getting the most value, joining the Apple ecosystem, or investing in a machine that'll comfortably last through graduation.

These are the compact printers I’d actually recommend for back-to-school

From dorm room paperwork to instant selfie prints, there's a tiny printer for every need.

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Everything is digital until the one professor who still wants a printed essay, or the lease you need to sign in ink, or the photo you want to stick on your dorm room’s wall. That's usually the exact moment you remember you don't own a printer anymore, and the nearest one is a library machine with a line out the door.

I looked at four compact printers that solve that problem without taking over your desk and breaking the bank. Two are built for documents, one is a proper all-in-one for actual home office work, and one has nothing to do with homework and everything to do with turning your camera roll into something you can hold.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the webcam lights I’d actually turn on before a Zoom call

From a budget clip light to a proper desk setup, there's a webcam light here for every price.

Head, Person, Face

Between online classes, group project calls, and the occasional job interview over Zoom, your webcam will be doing a lot more heavy lifting in school than it ever did at home. The problem is that most laptop cameras are bad in low light, and a single overhead bulb or a window behind you turns every call into a game of "wait, can you see me okay?"

A good webcam light fixes that faster than moving your whole desk around. I picked five, starting with the most affordable and working up to the one that's genuinely overkill for a Zoom call but still worth knowing about.
