Desktop computers can be expensive, time consuming to build, and space consuming to put on your desk. The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Workstation has none of these issues, however, as it is a prebuilt mini PC that is on sale; a triple attack of a product that brings you a reduced price (it is currently 50% off), no building time, and a very small desktop profile. We’ll go into all the details below, but if you want to check out the machine for yourself, go ahead and tap the button below to find the desktop over on Lenovo, where it is part of one of their Doorbuster deals. It’s currently just $879, which is $880 off the usual $1,759.

Why you should buy the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny WorkStation

When evaluating a prebuilt PC, you should think of how its going to be used and work up from there. So, you might want to consider what situation you’d use the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny WorkStation in before anything else. It’s body is in a smaller than 8 x 8 inch square slab. More versatile than large towers, it can be laid down flat (perhaps pushed under a monitor stand) or be stood up vertically. You can also VESA mount it, even attaching it to the underside of your desk to save up more space and keep your PC off the floor. In addition to all of the usual ports and the increasingly common USB-C port, you’ll also find a headphone jack, meaning you won’t want your tiny desktop too far away if you want to use that. Next, consider that this small desktop is made to survive, to quote Lenovo, “it will run in extreme conditions from the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms.” So, it will probably serve as a data entry point for your dusty lab.

After you consider how and where you want to use this small computer, now consider if its stats will work for you. It uses a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, has 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage, none of which are bad for the small frame it is in. It also comes with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, making internet fast and reliable if you have one of the best routers.

So, if this strikes your fancy, go ahead and tap the button below. Today’s deal on the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny WorkStation brings its price down to just $879. That’s $880 off of its usual $1,759, making this one of the better PC deals going on at the moment.

Snag Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 laptop with a $1,602 discount

While there are a lot of great business laptops on the market, one of the most iconic probably has to be Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup. Of course, they tend to be quite expensive, but luckily, this ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 has a substantial discount of $1,602 directly from Lenovo. That brings it down to $1,957 from its original $3,559, which is substantial, but it is also worth noting that Lenovo tends to overstate the estimated value of the ThinkPad X1 Carbons. That means that the real discount isn't really that high, although the price you end up with is still pretty solid for one of the best laptops on the market when it comes to business needs.

Why you should buy the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 comes with a 14-inch screen, which makes the overall package very small, and with the 2.48-pound weight, it's pretty easy to carry around with you if you travel a lot. The screen runs a solid 1920 x 1200 resolution, but can hit 400 nits of peak brightness, so you can use pretty much anywhere that doesn't include direct sunlight. You'll also appreciate the 1080P FHD IR camera, which is perfect for those who need to have meetings regularly on the go or when working from home.

Lenovo’s cheap Surface Pro alternative is down to $270

While Microsoft Surface laptops are great, they tend to be quite pricey, especially if you're looking for something a bit more robust, like what some of the best laptops offer. That applies to the Surface Pro as well, and if you want something that's a bit more affordable while offering a similar experience, then this Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is a great option. In fact, you can snag it for just $270 from Lenovo instead of the usual $420, which saves you a solid $160 in the process.

Why you should buy the Chromebook Duet 3
One great thing about Chromebooks is that they run on ChromeOS, which is a lot lighter than Windows, meaning you don't need as powerful hardware to run it, and that's where the Chromebook Duet 3 shines. In fact, when we got our hands on it, we felt that "this little Chrome OS tablet can handle a surprising range of tasks, falling short of only the most demanding productivity and creative workflows." A lot of that is due to the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor under the hood, which is powerful enough to run this little device while also allowing for pretty much any productivity and day-to-day tasks.

The Lenovo Legion 9i is a 10 out of 10, and it’s $540 off today

Gaming laptops used to be these massive, chunky things that had terrible battery life and wouldn't even be able to play the latest games without warming your whole house by a few degrees. Luckily, nowadays, you can get a thin and light gaming laptop that can handle the latest games with no issue if you're willing to pay the price. If that's the case, then we highly recommend the Legion 9i Gen 9, which we gave perfect marks on, and even has a solid $540 discount directly from Lenovo. That means you can grab one of the best gaming laptops for $3,300 instead of the usual $3,840.

Why you should buy the Lenovo Legion 9i Gen 9
While there are a lot of configurations for the Legion 9i Gen 9, we found one that almost exactly matches the one our lead reviewer, Jacob Roach, checked out in person. He felt that "It’s the first high-end laptop I’ve ever touched that truly feels worth its premium price point. It focuses on being a good laptop as much as it focuses on peak performance, and it exceeds on both fronts." The review unit had an RTX 4090, but this configuration has an RTX 4080, which is also quite powerful and will easily let you handle most modern games without too much hassle.
