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.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100
This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance

Every app on my phone has decided I need AI, and none of them bothered to ask
AI assistants are invading everything from photo libraries to messaging apps, and dismissing them only seems to guarantee they’ll return later.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

My wife doesn’t use AI very much. She isn’t philosophically opposed to it, nor is she waiting for the machines to overthrow civilization. She simply opens Google Photos because she wants to look at her photos.

Lately, however, the app keeps greeting her with invitations to try its AI tools. Google would very much like her to search her library conversationally, generate something new, or ask Gemini to edit a photo. She dismisses the prompt, gets on with her life, and eventually meets it again.
