Mother’s Day is just barely behind us and we’re already seeing Memorial Day sales. This year’s Memorial Day is not until the 27th, but if you’re excited to start shopping (or just really want a laptop) now is a great time to shop Lenovo. Lenovo is considered one of the best laptop brands of 2024, prized for both their longstanding commitment to durability and reliability in lines like ThinkPad and IdeaPad as well as more recent forays into extra-portable laptops and some of the best 2-in-1 laptops. As their Memorial Day sale is on, which laptops from their lineup should you consider purchasing? Here are our six favorites, presented to you from the most affordable to the most expensive after sale prices have been applied.

This 13-inch laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage has something unique on its backside: A fabric top cover. It’s a stain-resistant fabric that will bring a unique look and soft feel to the top of your laptop and will give the people that cover their laptop tops with stickers a run for their money in the uniqueness department. If you’re a gamer, you’ll also appreciate the 3 months of Xbox Game Pass that come with your purchase.

Supported by 16GB of RAM and an anti-glare WUXGA monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, you can do some pretty decent strategy gaming on this ThinkPad, though that’s not its main focus. Instead, the ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 wants to get you busy, with a complete-with-numpad ergonomic keyboard, all the ports you’ll need, and WiFi 6E connectivity. An additional chip, the dTPM 2.0 secure chip, will also add extra encryption and security for your work documents.

The ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 has a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 16-inch WUXGA screen.

Best refurbished laptop deals: How to find cheap used computers
microsoft surface laptop go 2020 on desk

If you're shopping for laptops on a budget, then you probably don't want to aim for the best laptops on the market, since they often cost thousands of dollars and usually give you diminishing returns the more expensive they get. On the other hand, refurbished laptops are a great way to save money while also helping the environment and reducing e-waste. Not only that, but most refurbished laptops tend to be refurbished by the brand and are backed by warranties and return windows, so even if something is not right with your refurbished laptop, you can get a replacement or your money back.

To that end, there are really great refurbished laptop sales that you can check out as part of Best Buy laptop deals, Dell laptop deals, HP laptop deals and Lenovo laptop deals. Alternatively, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, take a look at these refurbished MacBook deals, or if you still want to go for something new, you could consider checking out these laptop deals instead.
Best Buy refurbished laptops -- starting at $113
Best Buy's refurbished laptops are -- you guessed it -- Geek Squad Certified and while they may not be free and clear of absolutely all cosmetic scuffs they are still exceptionally clean and always in working order. Some of them even come with additional software like virus tools, streaming access, like Apple TV+, and much more. Of course, the best part is that you can get a premium and fully upgraded model for less, often with more storage, more power, and more features than you would when buying a base model brand new. You've got some great options from Lenovo, Acer, HP, Dell, Gateway, and even Apple to choose from. The cheapest models start around $120 and increase from there. The best way to know what's available is to head over and browse for yourself.
