You can get Lenovo’s latest flagship ThinkPad half off with code THINKPADLAB2022. This model features a new 12th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. The 14-inch display has a 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution along with a tall 16:10 aspect ratio and is rated for a more than adequate 400 nits of brightness. One important upgrade the 10th-gen X1 Carbon received was a 1080p webcam for clearer Zoom calls and video conferences. Weighing roughly 2.5 pounds, the X1 Carbon makes for an easy travel companion. And having passed a series of MIL-SPEC tests, it’s rugged enough to stand up to the rigors of business travel.

This ThinkPad X13 is another ultraportable option for those who can’t afford the X1 Carbon. The newest addition to the line is discounted with code THINKSEP and features a new 12th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 13.3-inch display has a 16:10 aspect ratio to provide more vertical space (so less scrolling) with a 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution, and is rated for a sufficient 300 nits of brightness. The webcam gets a bump from 720p to a 1080p resolution for improved video calls.

Lenovo’s newest midrange convertible boasts a 16-inch display with what Lenovo dubs a 2.5K resolution — that is, 2,560×1,600 pixels. Powering that high-resolution 16:10 display is a 12th-gen Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and Intel Arc graphics with 4GB of dedicated video RAM. You also get a 1TB SSD. The big screen, Arc graphics and roomy SSD make it a good pick for digital artists. You can save $280 on it, no code needed.

Our favorite two-in-one laptop for the business set, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga boasts an abundance of hardware options and security features wrapped up in a thin, light aluminum frame.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad T series is second only to the company’s flagship X1 Carbon line in the ThinkPad pecking order. The ThinkPad T14s is a slimmer version of the ThinkPad T14, though not quite as thin as the flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon. This AMD-based model is discounted with code THINKSEP and features the new Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. The 14-inch screen has 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution, a roomy 16:10 aspect ratio and is rated for a sufficient 300 nits of brightness.

Two rungs down from the flagship X1 Carbon and one rung below the ThinkPad T14S on the ThinkPad ladder is the ThinkPad T14. A slightly bulkier body nets you a well-rounded configuration for a lower price. This new Gen 3 model was just introduced and is already discounted with code THINKSEP. It features AMD’s new octa-core Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 14-inch, 16:10 display has a 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution and is rated for a sufficient 300 nits of brightness.

The latest ThinkPad T14 Gen 3 series is also available with Intel’s new 12th-gen Core processors. This model is discounted with code THINKSEP and features the Core i7-1260P processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. In addition to the new Intel chip, the third generation of the ThinkPad T14 gets a taller 14-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio that makes the screen look and feel bigger because you are scrolling less through web pages and long documents. It’s not quite as bright as the previous version, however, with the brightness rating dropping from 400 nits to 300 nits. Still, that should be plenty bright unless you’re regularly in the field and using your laptop in direct sunlight.
