Lenovo is prolonging Cyber Week deals by offering a huge discount on the Lenovo ThinkPad E16. Usually priced at $1,649, the laptop is down to $989 for a limited time only. Now, regular readers will know that Lenovo is a little generous with its original prices. Oftentimes, the estimated value is overly optimistic so the true discount may be less. However, whatever the original price, we do know that $989 for this specification of laptop is a good deal. If you’re looking for a new workhorse of a laptop, read on while we take you through it.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad E16

Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands, especially when it comes to designing sturdy business-focused laptops. The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is a good example of that. It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 155U processor teamed up with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. For work purposes, I’d prefer to see 1TB at this price, but there’s always cloud storage if you deal with a lot of large files.

More of a highlight to the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is its screen. It has a 16-inch WUXGA display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. It offers anti-glare properties, 45% NTSC, and 300 nits of brightness, so it’s a good all-rounder. Its big highlight is its size, as it means plenty more screen space while on the move, which is great if you’re often commuting or traveling rather than using the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 at home where you can connect it to a monitor.

Above the screen is a 1080p full HD webcam with dual microphones and a privacy shutter. The keyboard is backlit and offers a number pad, and there’s a fingerprint reader too for added security. Each component is the kind of thing you’ll see from the best laptops. The laptop also has audio by Harman, and there’s Dolby Atmos support so it sounds good when relaxing with a movie or some music. The Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is also sturdy thanks to meeting the US Department of Defense’s military standards.

Normally $1,649, the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 is down to $989 for a limited time only as one of Lenovo’s last minute Cyber Week laptop deals. It’s perfect for business plans or a student who wants something reliable. Take a look for yourself by tapping the button below.

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.
