Act fast — the best business laptop available is more than half off

When shopping for the best business laptop available today, chances are you’re going to come across Lenovo’s ThinkPad line. It dominates most best-of lists, and indeed the ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 9) has been our top pick for a couple of years running. These laptops are durable, powerful, secure, and absolutely filled with extra features that make them worth the relatively high price tag.

That’s the rub here; these laptops are not cheap, with even the baseline configurations usually costing thousands of dollars. Lenovo does host frequent sales events, but thanks to Black Friday we’re seeing one of the deepest discounts yet. A ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 9) with Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB M.2 SSD, and 14-inch FHD+ display is 59% off for a total savings of $1,460.
