Lenovo is currently running a big summer sale on a whole host of laptops, but not even the company can beat this deal. A ThinkPad E16 Gen 2 with 64GB RAM and 2TB storage was $1549 now $1299 at Amazon.
In the UK, the cheapest I can find is a lower-specced E16 Gen 2, now £828 at Currys.
You can check out my round-up of ThinkPads on sale over at Lenovo right here, which includes savings up to $1279 on my favorite laptops. But when it comes to an E16 Gen 2, nothing comes close to this deal on Amazon.
That being said, while the E16 is a good entry-level business laptop, I’ve seen far better business laptop deals around ahead of Prime Day – with Dell, Lenovo, and even Amazon offering big discounts on pro-grade laptops. So, before opting for the E16, these are the machines I’d check out first.

While I like the the E16 model, it isn’t the best ThinkPad laptop we’ve reviewed. It’s a good budget laptop and an accessible entry-point into the ThinkPad ecosystem, boasting some (but not all) the features found on the top-end models, including the ubiquitous red trackpoint and a comfortable typing experience.
This Windows 11 Pro laptop sports an Intel Ultra 7 155H processor, alongside the future-proofed 64GB DDR5 RAM and 2TB storage. Those are great specs, to be fair, making it one of the best business laptops on a budget, and even a contender for best student laptop.
And to be fair, there’s no beating that Amazon deal when it comes to specs – I’ve scoured the official site and can’t find an E16 Gen 2 with identical specs at all. The best I’ve found is a model with 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD storage, which is currently discounted down from $1429 to $1099 at Lenovo. However, I still think for the price, you can get more for your money.
