The Yoga C740 is Lenovo’s two-in-one laptop in the middle, which can pingpong with a display that can be rotated through 360 degrees between laptop and tablet mode. It is available with a 14 or 15 inch display. If you’re stuck at home, why not sacrifice a bit of portability to have more space to work and keep the bigger size? The second model (81TD0007US) has a 15-inch model with a 10th generation Intel Core i7-10510U CPU, 8 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD.

If you have set up a home office during this time of self-quarantine, you can easily add your laptop to your home office setup with this compact docking station. You can use the dock to run multiple displays from your laptop via the USB-C port, regardless of whether it is a ThinkPad or not. With two DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port, the dock can run up to three displays. It also offers three USB 3.1 ports (three Type A and one Type C port) and two USB 2.0 ports, so you can leave a keyboard and mouse connected with a phone charger and other devices. With an Ethernet connection, you can skip your home’s questionable WiFi for a more reliable and faster cable connection. The dock also powers your laptop so you can plug and unplug a single cable to add and remove your laptop to and from your home office. This dock is already reduced from $ 220 to $ 188, and you can save another $ 9 with code EXTRAFIVE.

With code, you can save 15% of Lenovo’s affordable gaming laptop, the IdeaPad L340 GAMING15. You won’t find GeForce RTX graphics or a display with a fast refresh rate of 144 Hz, but you’ll get a well-rounded mobile gaming rig for less than $ 1,000 with the discount. The model that I noticed has a 17.3-inch display with a 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750HF CPU, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics. A 256 GB SSD for fast data access and a 1 TB hard disk are provided for storage.

Lenovo’s Legion gaming laptops are 15% off, and you can cut another 5% off with code EXTRAFIVE. My advice is to skip the GTX models in favor of one with Nvidia’s current RTX graphics, especially the GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. The RTX 2060 is the budget card in the current RTX product range from Nvidia and offers an excellent price-performance ratio.

He can do ray tracing that reproduces the behavior of light in the real world to give games a more photorealistic look. This model has the 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16 GB RAM, a 1 TB SSD and GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. There are 15 and 17 inch versions of the Legion Y740. The 17-inch model with RTX 2060 graphics is currently sold out, but this 15-inch model is still in stock. The 15.6-inch display offers a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, Nvidia G-Sync, a fast refresh rate of 144 Hz and a brightness of 500 nits.
