If you’ve been thinking of buying a new Lenovo laptop recently, this week is your chance to save big. Lenovo is currently running a tax refund sale, and it is cutting the prices down on ThinkPad laptops, Yoga 2-in-1s, and more — but only through Wednesday, April 17.

Currently, one of the best deals in this sale is bringing the price of the down from $1,419 to $830, with the use of eCoupon code THINKTAXBUSTER at checkout. This specific sale model comes equipped with the Intel Core i5-7200U processor, 8GB of RAM, and a spacious 512GB solid-state-drive. The ThinkPad T580 also features a large 15-inch display, as well as a “ThinkShutter” mechanism which can hide the web camera for added privacy. Though the Intel chipset on board might be a generation old, it still packs plenty of power and room for general multi-tasking, web browsing, and any day-to-day activities.

After weeks of rumors around another round of hikes, Asus and Gigabyte have pulled the plug. They’ve made the impending price hike official, increasing prices across their entire RTX 50 lineup, and even AMD's Radeon RX 9000 cards.

Huawei made an utterly sleek laptop that’s 35% lighter than MacBook Air. Too bad you don’t need it.

Huawei has made one of the most tempting ultralight laptops most people will probably never consider buying. The new MateBook Pro S weighs just 798 grams in its lightest configuration, making it around 35% lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air. It is slightly thicker at 11.9mm, but Huawei still managed to fit a larger display and a 54Wh battery inside its magnesium-alloy chassis.

Its color options are pure eye candy, too. The soft pastel finishes immediately reminded me of the MacBook Neo and give the laptop far more personality than the usual sea of silver, gray, and black ultrabooks.
