Lenovo has kicked off it's BLack Friday sale, just make sure to double check that the promo code "MEGADEAL" in your basket before checking out, although when doing this myself the code automatically applied.

TL;DR: The Best Lenovo Black Friday Deals

IT focuses mostly on laptops for all use cases, from gaming, to the efficient ThinkPads you've probbaly used in an office job before now and 2-in-1 efforts that are great for digital artwork and much more. There's also some monitors on offer, again there's everyday use cases and gaming covered. Let's get straight into it:

Gaming Laptop Deals

This is where the real deals are for me, but if you're not looking for a gaming laptop the rest of this article is for you. Looking for a budget gaming effort? Go for the LOQ Essential 15i, which has a RTX 5050, 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TV SSD. The processor isn't anything special, but this laptop is more than capable of running games at decent settings in 1080p. With DLSS4 available on 5000 series cards, you'll be able to generate the frames you're missing and drop the resolution a game is putting out to artificially upscale to really push this £679 gaming laptop beyond it's limits.

If you want something more upmarket with more power under the hood, it's a big jump in price to £1199. Granted the specs for just over a £500 jump are worth it, we're moving into mid-range territory here. The processor is slightly more powerfull, the RAM and SSD is the same, but we're getting an RTX 5070 with this and a better screen that rocks 165Hz refresh rate and is 1200p. Expect high settings with 120 FPS + on most games with this setup. Just to note also, this laptop was £1,549, a lovely Black Friday £300 discount.

2-In-1 Laptop Deals

If you want a bit of tech that does a little bit of everything, any three of these 2-in-1 laptops are great for those who want Windows-based drawing tablets that can double as a traditional laptop. Personally I'd go with the Yoga 7i 14 with the integrated Intel Arc graphics. It's never going to beat a dedicated GPU, but programs like Photoshop, Z Brush and other digital art apps need a solid GPU offering and plenty of storage . There's also 32GB LPDDR5X RAM installed, so boatloads of temporary memory for multitasking. It's also discvounted by £350, so this is a killer deal for a buyer that wants a little bit of anything, even a bit of light indie gaming.

ThinkPad and IdeaPad Deals

Whilst the price tag might tell a different tale, none of these laptops are useful for any heavy gaming purposes outside of pixel art and indie gaming. If that's you but you want a practical laptop that's thin, sleek and stylish, go for it.

ThinkPads and IdeaPads are by nature workhorses made for anything from web surfing to heavy office-themed work. It's always good to have a fast laptop, but some of these laptops might be a bit of overkill for these usecases.

That doesn't mean these laptops are bad by any stretch of the imagination, and will be great for heavy multitasking, but if you're looking to video edit or anything that depends on heavy use of a graphics card, integrated graphics that are built into a CPU or motherboard ain't it chief.

Monitors and Accessory Deals

A 27-inch 2K gaming monitor for £159 is such a great Black Friday deal, it's perfect for gamers on a budget who want to hit 1440p resolutions on a 1080p gaming laptop. Add a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.5 MPRT (Response time) and you have a solid gaming monitor that does what it says on this tin. It also has a lovely 99% sRGP and 90% DCI-P3 color gamuts for those bothered about color accuracy, but sadly no HDR support and it isn't OLED. IF you find another Monitor with those kind of specs on top of what i've mentioned please tell me, because you won't this Black Friday.

The ThinkVision monitors are great for day-to-day use and for most work purposes too, such as the £90 T22i-30 deal. It just depends what you want to get out of your screen experience.
