The best Lenovo laptops 2020 Best Lenovo laptops 2021

February 23, 2021 by CBW Reporter

Leave it to the best Lenovo laptops to cover pretty much every segment of the laptop market. Whether you want the best Ultrabook, the best 2-in-1 laptop, or the best gaming laptop, there’s a Lenovo laptop for you. The manufacturer even hits the business segment with its Thinkpad lineup, as well as the Chromebook segment for those looking for lightweight options.

More than variety, however, the best Lenovo laptops are among the most affordable options out there. Many of Lenovo’s offerings, in fact, are cheaper than the competition while also rivalling them in design, performance, and build. That makes them a far better value than most of what’s out there. And, that’s without mentioning the brand’s cunningly designed 360-degree hinge that’s often copied but never bettered in its hybrid models.

From high-end multimedia powerhouses to cheap laptops, these are the best Lenovo laptops 2021 has to offer. Whether it’s for work or for play, there’s a Lenovo laptop that’s a perfect fit – and for much less than you may expect.

There’s a lot to love about the Lenovo Yoga C930, which is why it tops our list of the best Lenovo laptops for 2019. To start, Lenovo’s premium portable laptop boasts an excellent battery life, a robust feature set and a strong build. This 14-incher hardly compromises on anything as well.

3. Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook

Everything that netbooks should have been

Specifications

CPU: MediaTek Helio P60T Processor

Graphics: ARM G72 MP3 800GHz

RAM: 4GB LPDDR4X

Screen: 10.1″ FHD (1920 x 1200) IPS, glossy, touchscreen, 400 nits

Storage: 64 GB eMMC

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Lightweight and portable+Long battery life+Very affordable

Reasons to avoid

–Tiny keyboard and finicky trackpad–Charger and headphones share a single port

Is it a Chromebook or is it a tablet? Well, luckily, you won’t have to decide. True to its name, this Lenovo Chromebook delivers two form factors in one, while utilizing the versatility of the Chrome OS and setting you back much less than many of the top Windows tablets out there. Of course, true to its Chromebook nature, its battery packs an incredibly long life of almost 22 hours – you could pull an all-nighter, work through the day and mid-afternoon, and you’ll still pass out before it runs out of juice. For this price, sacrifices have to be made, naturally – the keyboard is tiny, the trackpad isn’t as reliable, and the charger and headphones share one port. However, if budget is your top priority, this is definitely among the best Lenovo laptops in 2020.

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Powerful internal components+New Nvidia discrete graphics+144Hz refresh rate

Reasons to avoid

–Keyboard arrangement–Poor battery life–Webcam placement

The Lenovo Legion Y740 is hardly the perfect gaming machine – flaws like uncomfortable keyboard arrangement, poor battery life and bad webcam placement stop it from becoming the ultimate gaming laptop. However, if you’re seeking an affordable gaming laptop that delivers top-notch performance and touts an elegant design that you can show off anywhere – including the office, if you’re planning on discreetly squeezing in a game at lunch – then this is the most ideal choice for you. Looking for a powerful laptop with some gaming capabilities, it’s also one of the best Lenovo laptops 2019 has to offer.

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Excellent design+Great performance+Comfy keyboard

Reasons to avoid

–Expensive–Battery life

It’s hard not to love the Lenovo Yoga C940 laptop inside and out. That design alone is a stunner, but factor in that IPS screen that can function as a tablet thanks to this device’s 2-in-1 form is impeccable, the Active Pen is just pleasurable to use on it, and a fingerprint reader for easy login, and what you’ve got is a luxurious laptop that might be the envy of everyone at the office. We only wish Lenovo actually delivered on that 15-hour battery life it advertised.

Reasons to avoid

–Heavy–Expensive–Battery life could be better

Do you have a lot of cash to spare and require a powerful workstation? Look no further than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme mobile workstation, whose impressive specs are only the beginning. You’ll also appreciate working with that bright and crisp 15.6-inch screen, especially if you’re getting the 4K version, as well as all that storage space if you go all out. Though, fair warning, this isn’t exactly the lightest laptop you’ll lug around, so investing in a sturdy backpack with padded straps is ideal for stowing it in.

Connectivity: 802.11 AC (2 x 2) + Bluetooth 4.2

Camera: 2MP HD camera

TODAY’S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Very thin and light+Gorgeous main display+E Ink screen works well

Reasons to avoid

–Very expensive–Low on RAM–Aging processor

Much like the Lenovo Yoga C930, there’s a lot to love about the Lenovo Yoga Book C930. We appreciate its light and thin design, that main display that’s a total stunner, and that innovative E Ink secondary screen, which you can utilize as a keyboard and for note-taking, among other things. Those who require a lot of internal power might not be satisfied with that this device has to offer, however, with an aging processor. However, if you only need a laptop for surfing the Internet, ticking off light productivity tasks, watching movies, reading e-books and sketching on, you’ve got a winner in this. It’s one of the best Lenovo laptops for you.
