The Gaming Desktop I've Relied on More Than Any Other Is More Powerful and Sleeker Than Ever — But Damn, It's Expensive

I've been using the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i (Gen 10), and while it isn't a massive departure, it's a better pre-built gaming PC than ever — but it's expensive.

Lenovo's ThinkPad tablet would've been a great Surface Pro competitor... A few years ago

The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable (Gen 2) is a durable enterprise tablet that offers a good user experience, but it feels a few years behind the competition.

This mid-range gaming laptop feels like the forgotten middle child, and it isn't difficult to understand why

The Lenovo Legion 5i (Gen 9) is a pretty great mid-range gaming laptop that's rather confusingly positioned in Lenovo's lineup (and a little difficult to find).

I'm genuinely shocked by how much laptop $280 can get you for the next few hours — a 58% off flash sale will do it, though

Lenovo has shaved 58% off one of its best value Windows laptops in a Cyber Monday flash sale. It's a lot of laptop for $280, but this deal isn't going to last long.

Lenovo somehow made the lightest laptop I've ever reviewed even lighter, more powerful, and longer lasting

Lenovo has announced two AI-powered "Aura Edition" laptops during IFA 2024, including the lightest ThinkPad X1 Carbon ever, all powered by Intel Core Ultra (Series 2).
