This year’s Lenovo Presidents Day sale slashes the prices of several Lenovo laptops, including Chromebooks and 2-in-1 laptops. The offers are in full swing because the holiday is just around the corner, and we expect customers to engage in heavy shopping over the weekend. To help you decide on your purchase, we’ve rounded up some of the brand’s best deals that are $500 and below, but you need to be quick with your clicks because stocks are probably running out.
Lenovo ThinkPad 11e Gen 5 — $169, was $919
The fifth-generation Lenovo ThinkPad 11e is the perfect companion for students because of its toughness — it passed 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 durability tests. The rubber bumpers provide protection from damage, its keyboard is water-resistant, and it can withstand drops from heights of up to 3 feet. The laptop will be able to keep up with all school activities with its Intel Celeron N4120 processor, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 8GB of RAM, which our laptop buying guide says is the sweet spot for most users. It also comes with an 11.6-inch HD screen, a 128GB SSD, and Windows 11 Home pre-installed.
Lenovo 3i Chromebook — $240, was $350
If you’re interested in Chromebook deals, check out the Lenovo 3i Chromebook. Inside it are the Intel Celeron N4500 processor, integrated Intel UHD Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, with a 64GB eMMC. These components don’t look like much on paper, but because it’s a Chromebook, its performance is still smooth and snappy. That’s because Google’s Chrome OS depends on web-based apps and cloud storage, instead of installed software, which translates to low overhead.

The laptop features a 14-inch Full HD screen and two Dolby Audio speakers, so it can also work as an entertainment system for watching streaming content when you’re taking a break.
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook — $329, was $429
The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook combines the performance of Google’s Chrome OS with the versatility of a 2-in-1 laptop.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook runs on the Intel Celeron N4500 processor, integrated Intel UHD Graphics, and 4GB of RAM, with a 64GB eMMC for storage and a 720pHD camera for joining video calls. It also has front-facing speakers that are tuned by MaxxAudio.
