As laptops quickly came to dominate the PC market, computer makers have worked to slowly but surely shrink the gap between gaming desktops and their portable backpack-friendly counterparts. Today’s best gaming laptops have come a long way thanks to this ongoing trend of more powerful and more portable computer hardware. Along with top brands like Razer and Alienware, Lenovo — mostly known for its business-focused ThinkPads — makes some of the best gaming laptops on the market today, and now’s your last chance to score a post-Labor Day discount on the excellent Lenovo Legion Y740 that can save you hundreds.

Our review team picked the Legion Y740 as the best gaming laptop that you can buy for less than $1,500 (specifically the 15-inch model, although other variants run on similar hardware), with our roundup citing the excellent performance that these laptops provide for the money. These discounted models belong to the new generation that Lenovo redesigned in 2018 and come loaded with laptop variants of Nvidia’s latest 16- and 20-series GPUs.

The base configuration of the newest Lenovo Legion Y740 15 and Legion Y740 17 both run on Intel Core i7-9750H six-core CPUs and dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti mobile graphics cards packing 6GB of VRAM. Our reviews of both the 15-inch and 17-inch Legion Y740 gaming laptops noted their excellent body designs, customizable RGB keyboard lighting, great displays, and solid processing power as high points, with the excellent price-to-performance ratio also making these solid choices for users who (like most people) understandably don’t want to dump two grand or more on a PC.

Lenovo often has great sales on but just in time for the Labor Day sales going on, it has an extra cheap laptop available right now. 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.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2
Lenovo is one of the best laptop brands, especially for business users, thanks to many of its devices being great for robustness and longevity. With the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2, it has an AMD Ryzen 3 5400U processor, 8GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage. Those are the core essentials for typing up documents, web browsing and other simple activities.

HP Chromebook 14a -- $210, was $290

Chromebook deals are generally less expensive than offers for their Windows-based counterparts because they're equipped with cheaper components, but they still provide decent performance through Google's Chrome OS. The HP Chromebook 14a, for example, has the Intel Celeron N4500 processor, Intel UHD Graphics, and 4GB of RAM, but as a Chromebook, it's pretty quick because it primarily uses web-based apps instead of installed software. The device also features a 14-inch HD screen and a 32GB eMMC that's supplemented by cloud storage.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3
Lenovo's most affordable gaming laptops fall under its IdeaPad line instead of its Legion line, according to our explainer on the different Lenovo brands, and that includes the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3. However, even with its cheap price, the machine still provides decent performance with its AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, and 8GB of RAM.
