We generally don't like to recommend older tech, but today's Amazon deal is particularly noteworthy because it's on a system that despite showing a bit of age, can still provide enough performance for everyday tasks.
Buy Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet on Amazon.com
We're talking about Lenovo's first-generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet, which is still one of the best business 2-in-1s you can find. Although Lenovo just announced its third iteration of this tablet at CES, the new models will command a starting price of $1,599. By comparison, Amazon is taking up to $770 off Lenovo's first-gen models with prices starting at $599.99. Each model comes with at least 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD in addition to a detachable keyboard and Lenovo's Active Pen. They're all also MIL-STD 810G tested for humidity, extreme temperatures, and vibrations. The prices are as listed below:
- ThinkPad X1 Tablet w/ 12-inch 2160x1440 IPS LCD/1.1GHz Core m5-6Y75/4GB/128GB SSD for $599.99 ($400 off)

Sure, there are newer, more powerful 2-in-1s on the market, but few — if any — will come close to matching these prices. But take note, because Amazon's sale ends today.
