The X1 Carbon’s fingerprint reader.
Casey Johnson
Among other things, Memorial Day marks the unofficial beginning of summer. Hopefully you’ll be heading to the mountains, a beach, or at least grilling something over the long weekend. However, it’s not time for Dealmaster to take it easy – retailers know you’re off work. So many companies have launched deals and discounts.
This weekend is a great time to buy a new smartwatch to track your outdoor activities or a blender to make a post-workout protein shake. Our favorite deal, if you’re in the market for a new laptop, comes from Lenovo’s sale on several ThinkPad and gaming models. There are also sales on new TVs, headphones, robot vacuum cleaners and other practical tech accessories.
