For as long as we can remember, the Lenovo ThinkPad has been one of the best and most preferred workplace laptops. Combining simple portability with powerful processing and an excellent Windows 11 UI, it’s hard to beat the user-friendly experience this tiny workhorse brings to the table. And guess what? Right now, Lenovo is selling one of the best ThinkPad models for even less.

When you purchase through Lenovo, you can get the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 for only $873. At full price, this laptop once cost $2,030. Go ahead and put that $1,156 you saved toward one of the best headphone deals we found this week!

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad E16

Equipped with an Intel Core i7-1355U that delivers max clock speeds of 5GHz, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 24GB of RAM (8GB of which are soldered), the ThinkPad E16 can handle just about any workflow you toss at it. Whether that means you’ll have a dozen browser tabs open at once, or a handful of demanding workplace apps, the E16 is primed for performance.

The 16-inch WUXGA IPS screen goes a step above 1080p HD with its 1920 x 1200 pixel spread. And while the panel only tops out at 300 nits for peak brightness, the anti-glare screen works in unison with the ThinkPad’s backlighting to reduce the effects of ambient lighting. There’s even a 1080p FHD RGB webcam for conference calls and other video-chat applications.

The E16 contains a full terabyte of internal storage. That’s plenty of storage for important workplace docs, presentations, photos, videos, and many other files.

It’s hard to say just how long this deal is going to last, so if you’re in the market for a device like this, now may be your best chance to score a great discount! Again, that’s $873 for the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 when your purchase through Lenovo.

AI agents want to handle more of your life, including your money, but US banks are drawing a line when these AI assistants try to move funds on your behalf. Charles Schwab and JPMorgan Chase are now restricting outside AI agents from taking financial actions, citing security risks and unanswered questions about who takes responsibility when things go wrong.

Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster told Bloomberg that Schwab is actively blocking unauthorized AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from moving client money. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon made a similar call this week, so this isn't just one bank being cautious.

Imagine asking your assistant to finish a task, only to find out it paid for it with someone else's money. That's basically what happened, according to OpenAI's incident report. The incident happened on June 26 and involved an internal research model from the GPT-5.6 Sol family.

Apparently, the AI agent ran out of cryptocurrency while trying to finish a coding task. So it completed the task in a way nobody approved.
