'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Lenovo clearance sale: Save over $1,200 on the heavy-duty ThinkPad X1 laptop
Lenovo's latest clearance sale has some great deals on tech, but our favorite is a savings of over $1200 on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop.
Clearance sales are launched by companies when they need to sell older or excess stock and discontinued items, as holding stock for too long costs money. They may also include refurbished products.
In this sale, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9, a heavyweight laptop produced by Lenovo, is a steal at only $1823, a saving of over $1200 off its typical retail price of $3039, or 40%.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 is equipped with a 14" WUXGA (widescreen ultra extended graphics array) 1920 x 1200 anti-glare display, an 11th Generation Intel Core i5 processor (2.60GHz up to 4.40GHz), Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 16GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD storage. In addition, the laptop comes with Windows 11 Pro, a fingerprint reader, cameras, a backlit keyboard, and rear venting for improved cooling.
