Lenovo's Working Hard This Labor Day With Great Deals on Desktops, Laptops, and Tablets
Hopefully you're having a great Labor Day weekend, but if you haven't set aside some time for tech shopping, you're missing out. Top brands are slashing prices on all kinds of hardware, and Lenovo is leading the pack with massive discounts on PCs and tablets. I've hunted down six can't-miss deals, including a solid desktop gaming machine, a powerful 2-in-1 laptop, a slick all-purpose tablet, and more. Check back as we continue the weekend for even more offers.
IdeaPad Slim 3x Laptop Labor Day Deal
Let's lead off with a spectacular budget-priced portable that dazzles when it comes to battery life. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor is a hyper-efficient chip that gives the IdeaPad Slim 3x nearly 30 hours of use on a single charge. We have a comprehensive review of this model, where we praised its effective productivity performance, sleek and solid-feeling build, and minimal design. Also of note is a second SSD slot, which you can access from the outside with just a hex screwdriver, letting you boost internal storage. A full numeric keypad was also appreciated, although the individual keys feel slightly cramped. We did wish the screen was a bit brighter, but with a Labor Day discount of 37% this one absolutely clears just about any other laptop in its price range.
ThinkPad P16 Gen 3 Laptop Labor Day Deal
For something with a bit more juice, if you've got the cash to spend, the ThinkPad P16 is an excellent enterprise-grade laptop with some very nice features. This machine is designed for professionals with resource-heavy workflows that use demanding creative and data management apps. In our review , we were impressed by how many high-octane components Lenovo managed to pack in such a slim chassis, and this build ships with a powerhouse Core Ultra 7 processor, a dedicated 8GB RTX Pro 2000 graphics card, 32GB of RAM and a full terabyte of internal storage. We also appreciated its bright, crisp display, which pumps up to 800 nits, and its class-leading keyboard, which is comfortable to use for long periods. At retail, it's a bit of a shocker, but Lenovo wants to give you 37% off.
Yoga 7a 2-In-1 Laptop Labor Day Deal
If you like the convertible form factor, this is a nice price on a very fun Lenovo 2-in-1 that offers top-class components in a high-quality all-metal build. We have a full review if you want all the details, but in summary: the Yoga 7a boasts a very impressive Ryzen AI 7 processor that's tuned for Copilot+ capability, backstopped by a generous 24GB of RAM for friction-free multitasking. Just from sheer silicon value alone, this is a killer deal. We also liked the machine's comfortable keyboard (which we automatically assume every Lenovo laptop is going to have) and good battery life. Our biggest caveat was that it felt a little heavy for extended use in tablet mode, but if you want to work out those forearms, pick one up.
LOQ Gaming Tower Labor Day Deal
Lenovo has a solid grip on the gaming market as well, and a Labor Day discount of 17% off this midrange tower is worth noting. You can plug into our full review of the LOQ desktop to see how it stacks up, but the summary is simple: it takes a seriously compact case and crams it full of solid silicon for reliable 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the RTX 5060 Ti, and a full 32GB of RAM keeps things moving smoothly. The case's cooling system is solid, with adaptable speeds and a concealed air duct for quiet operation. Tool-less access to the interior makes upgrades and repairs a breeze. Wireless connectivity is solid, but we did note that we'd like to see a more robust selection of ports. That said, this is a tremendous value.
ThinkStation P3 Tiny Desktop Labor Day Deal
Small form factor desktops are becoming more and more popular, which is great for people with limited space but does make us have some feelings for the glory days of a massive battlestation that dominated your entire computer room. Lenovo has a price drop of $950 on this very capable ThinkStation P3, which clocks in at 96% smaller than a standard desktop tower but still delivers productivity performance. Weighing in at just three pounds and standing just seven inches high, it'll fit just about anywhere. We have a review of the last generation ThinkStation P3 , giving it an "Excellent" rating, with special praise given to wireless connectivity, robust port selection, and capable CPU. This model is even smaller and more efficient, so give it a look.
Idea Tab Plus Tablet Labor Day Deal
Lenovo also has a booming market in Android tablets at a wide range of price points, and the Idea Tab Plus is our pick for the best in the line. If you want an everyday slate for light productivity and media streaming, it can handle everything you throw at it with ease. We gave it the full treatment in our review , with PCMag expert Kimberly Gedeon concluding that it "makes a compelling case, thanks to its impressive display, appealing design, and respectable performance." Its full aluminum build is sturdy and lightweight enough to hold for a long time, and battery life is solid for how bright the screen is, clocking in at over six hours on a single charge in our testing. We did feel that the cameras could be a little crisper, but most people don't use their tablet as their main way of taking pictures anyway. Pick one up for $250 while you can.
