The 4th July sales are upon us at last, and this Lenovo sale is one of the best out there right now. More specifically, it's (somehow) possible to save almost $1000 on laptops for both gaming and work.

To get into specifics, this Lenovo sale for the 4th July includes everything from fairly casual Thinkpads to hardcore Legion gaming laptops. In our eyes, the headline offer is one that saves you more than $900. Indeed, the 14-inch ThinkPad T495 with a Ryzen 5 processor, Radeon Vega graphics card, and great battery life will tumble in price from £1,719 to just $739.99 after you use the code 'THINKSPECIAL'.

Another offer that caught our eye would be this Lenovo Thinkpad 13s for just $599, a saving of $260. It's a very handsome laptop that's fitted with reasonable specs; it carries a 10th-gen i5 processor that'll breeze through work and downtime activities, a 256GB SSD for very speedy booting and loading, and a light, durable frame. 

A gaming-focused offer in this Lenovo sale that's worth noticing is on a Lenovo Legion 7i, going for $1,539.99 instead of $1,700. It's packing a 10th-gen i7 processor, an RTX 2060 graphics card, 512GB SSD, and 16GB RAM. That's very respectable for the price and will have you playing the latest games at high settings.

We've listed a few other standouts below. They'd make great companions for accessories in the Razer sale that's also tying into 4th July offers.

Despite being one of the most expensive deals on offer, it's also one of the best.

That's a lot of horsepower, particularly because the screen is a G-Sync HDR display.

Not found anything you like? Be sure to check out the best gaming laptops. And if you want something a bit more static, you can always opt for one of the best gaming PCs.

Don't forget about accessories, either. The best gaming mouse or the best wireless gaming mouse would make a great companion for your new laptop.
