Some models are less than half price right now, including a previous-generation X1 Carbon on clearance sale.

The best of the bunch might be the new ThinkPad T16 if you want a big-screen laptop that supplies a spacious 16-inch display with a tall 16:10 aspect ratio that gives you plenty of room to work. It also includes a CPU from Intel’s 12th-gen (Alder Lake) processors.

Deals for the current X1 Carbon Gen 10 models are less than enticing at the moment, which leads us to this previous-generation model on clearance. You can get it for a fraction of its full price with code X1CG9CLEARANCE, and it should offer more than enough power for most office tasks. And do so inside the sleek X1 Carbon chassis. It features a previous 11th-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 it’s rated for a more than adequate 400 nits of brightness. Along with the previous-gen CPU, it features an older 720p webcam that provides an interior image for Zoom calls and video conferences than the newer 1080p cameras. 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.

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 more than half off with code THINK4PREZ3 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 300 nits of brightness.

The first 16-inch model in Lenovo’s ThinkPad T series, the ThinkPad T16 is heavily discounted with code THINKFEB and boasts a roomy 16-inch display with a tall 16:10 aspect ratio and a 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution. It features touch support and is rated for a sufficient 300 nits of brightness. This sale model features the midrange AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U CPU along with an ample 32GB of RAM and a roomy 1TB SSD.

This 13.3-inch two-in-one convertible features a roomy 16:10 display wrapped in a compact, all-aluminum enclosure powered by a midrange AMD Ryzen 7 5500U CPU along with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. With the 360-degree hinge, you can use the Yoga 6 as a laptop and tablet. The CPU is a generation behind AMD’s current Ryzen 6000 series, but it should provide ample oomph for general tasks. Most laptops and convertibles at this price supply only 8GB of RAM, so getting double that amount is a boon and will go a long way towards providing a smooth Windows experience.

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 latest Gen 3 model is half off with code THINK4PREZ2. It features AMD’s new octa-core Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U CPU, a generous 32GB of RAM and a spacious 1TB SSD. The 14-inch, 16:10 display has a 1,920×1,200-pixel resolution and is rated for a reasonable 300 nits of brightness.

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 THINKFEB and features a new 12th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB 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 300 nits of brightness. The webcam gets a bump from 720p to a 1080p resolution for improved video calls.
