If you’re still looking for a great deal on a new Windows PC for the holidays, you might want to head over to Lenovo to see what they have to offer. The Yoga 730 laptop, the company’s mid-range 2-in-1 PC offering, is on sale with the 15-inch model seeing as much as 40 percent off — that is a savings of up to $700 off a brand new computer and its specs are nothing to scoff at, either.

Lenovo is offering up its latest Yoga 730 15-inch variant in its winter savings lineup using coupon code Yogadeal2. The machine’s eighth-generation Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB of DDR4 memory mean that it can handle a majority of the processing tasks thrown at it. For a bit of a bump in the graphics department, the Yoga 730 also includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GPU with 4GB of memory. Additionally, if you have a lot of data to store, you’re in luck, the machine includes an impressive 1 TB of SSD storage.

When we originally reviewed the Lenovo Yoga 730, we found that the machine had solid build quality, offered excellent productivity performance, and came in at extremely competitive pricing — and that’s before the current discount. We did also find a few things that we weren’t in love with such as the mediocre battery and a display that could use a bit of updating.

If you’re keeping your eye out for a great deal on a laptop for productivity purposes, but also want a bit of a performance boost, the Yoga 730 might be for you. Of course, can’t talk about a Yoga device without mentioning its 360-degree hinge for quickly switching into tablet mode. While we found the 13-inch model of the machine enjoyable to use in tablet mode, remember that this 15-inch model will pack a bit more weight.

With the sale launching Christmas Eve, it makes the Yoga 730’s purchase a bit of a last-minute dash, but your recipient probably won’t mind receiving an IOU when they find out what is in the mail headed their way. Otherwise, if the Yoga 730 isn’t your cup of tea, Lenovo is still offering deals on many of its other ThinkPad, ThinkCentre, IdeaPad, Yoga, and Legion machines.

This Lenovo ThinkPad is usually over $4,000 — today it’s $1,019

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 on a white background.

The sixth-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, a reliable 2-in-1 laptop, is currently available from Lenovo at $3,230 off, so it's down to $1,019 from $4,249. Lenovo uses an estimated value system for the original prices of its laptop deals though, so we don't think it's accurate to market value, but getting this versatile device for this cheap is still a steal, even if you're not actually getting that full discount. You'll need to hurry with your purchase though, as there's a chance that the offer expires within the day.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6
The X1 series is the ultra-premium lineup of the ThinkPad family, according to our explainer on the Lenovo brands, so even if the sixth-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga isn't the latest model, it's still got what it takes to keep up with all of your daily activities. Inside the device are the 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, which are still sufficient for handling your tasks for work or school, and it packs 16GB of RAM, which our guide on how much RAM do you need says is on the level of top-tier machines. The sixth-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga also comes with a 512GB SSD for ample storage space, and with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, it's ready for use as soon as you power it on.

The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is currently available for $419. According to Lenovo, that's a huge reduction from $1,799 which seems a bit unlikely given the spec of the system. Remember -- Lenovo tends to go high with its estimated value system meaning the original price is rarely that hefty. Still, at $419, the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is a good deal whatever it started at. In terms of Labor Day laptop deals, it's worth checking out. Here's why.
