Today we bring you a very hot, and very limited, deal on Lenovo ThinkPads. The T Series and X Series deals are about as good as we’ve seen before, with the exception of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday T400 deal, but the W Series are particularly exceptional.

Lenovo is taking noticeably larger discounts off all W Series models, on top of the stackable 20% coupon. Heck, the dual screened W700ds is under $1700! If you have been contemplating a W Series, this is the best price we’ve seen yet.

After the jump is a complete breakdown of all models on sale, with prices, base specs and recommended upgrades.
