Business-class productivity and summer grilling fun —

Dealmaster: Save on Lenovo’s latest ThinkPad X1 Gen 11 laptop, and more

Memorial Day sales include savings on laptops, smart home accessories, and grills.

Summer is so close we can almost smell the suntan lotion and burnt hot dogs. Today's Dealmaster has the usual office fare—including a great deal on Lenovo's gold-standard business-class ThinkPad X1 Carbon series, including the Gen 11 model with Intel's 13th Gen processor—but also a few picks for relaxing and travel. That includes a great price on Sony's highly rated WH-1000XM5 noise-canceling headphones, as well as Microsoft's Surface Pro 9 tablet.
