Lenovo knocks $1,080 off one of it’s best Chromebooks
ThinkPad C14 Chromebook

While Windows laptops are great, they tend to be quite pricey if you want to grab something that's more powerful and can handle more tasks. If you don't want to spend that much cash, one other great option is to grab yourself a Chromebook since it runs on ChromeOS and is a lot lighter than Windows. One great example is the ThinkPad C14 Chromebook from Lenovo, and there is even a solid deal directly from Lenovo that knocks the original $1,559 price down to just $479. That's a significant $1,080 discount on the usual price, and while Lenovo sometimes overestimates the MSRP value of its laptops, this is still an excellent deal regardless.

Why you should buy this ThinkPad C14 Chromebook
Something that's pretty unique about this configuration of the ThinkPad C14 Chromebook is that it comes with an Intel Core i7-1265U vPro processor under the hood and a mid-to-high-end CPU that's probably more powerful than ChromeOS needs. Still, that means that you can pretty much do anything with this ThinkPad C14, and it will handle the job, making it a great option for productivity or school work, while the 14-inch FHD screen means that it's easy to carry around with you. Even more impressively, it comes with a fingerprint reader, so it's great for those who need multi-factor authentication to do work or access files. You don't have to carry an external reader or key, saving you a bit of extra carrying space.
