Lenovo Touchscreen Laptop (40GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Goes for Peanuts at 73% Off During Back-to-School Blowout
Amazon has the 15.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad down from $2,200 to just $600, which is a 73% discount according to the listing. If you're after that kind of saving, and more importantly, the versatility that this laptop offers, then you'll want to pick this one up before the deal runs out.

The Ideapad range is often a great choice for students, or those who just need a backup when they're commuting, or working professionals who have to travel a lot. Along with being fairly light and easy to carry around, they also pack in surprisingly high specs, and come at a good price point as well. This 15.6-inch Lenovo Ideapad is no different.
The 15.6-inch screen is full HD, which means that anything you're watching on it will look good, but also means your reports, spreadsheets, or whatever else you're working on will be nice and clear as well. It boasts a decent amount of speed as well, thanks to the i5-1155Gy processor and the 40 GB of RAM. While it's not the fastest out there, it's great for less demanding programs and doing things like research, and it still has enough to help you multitask fairly comfortably as well.
It also has a 1TB SSD, which can make it really easy to transport essential reports around, or just use it to ferry things between work PCs if that's something you need it to. It also means you won't have to constantly keep an eye on your storage, because nobody enjoys having to deal with digital inventory storage. It can even handle WiFi 6, which means amazing wireless speeds, and it comes with Windows 11 Pro, which means your operating system will be set for a few years.
That's an awful lot of value for $600, which is probably why the price is normally much higher. This is an Amazon limited-time deal (73% off) though, which does mean that there are no guarantees when it comes to how long this deal will actually last. So, if you decide you do want this laptop, we'd recommend being quick about it.

Morning bid: 'Tariffs - use this version, please'
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Stella Qiu: It is tariff deadline day and President Donald Trump delivered by slapping fresh levies on imports from dozens of countries, including those that do not have a trade deal yet. Rates were set at 35% for Canada, 25% for India, 20% for Taiwan and 19% for Thailand. Switzerland got a whopping 39% -- one of the steepest -- raising the question: what's Trump got against the Swiss? Not buying enough American chocolate or watches? The big day comes after months of posturing, meetings, delays and truces, which prompted some investors to question what was a real threat and what was a bluff. Indeed, there is still much to be resolved. Arguably, most levies are lower than those threatened on April 2, which back then sent markets into a tailspin. Plus the big trade deals with Japan and the European Union have been reached while talks with China and Mexico are still ongoing. That is probably why market reaction this time has been much more muted. Sure, most Asian shares fell, but only modestly. South Korea is an exception, tumbling over 3%, in part due to domestic tax cuts being rolled back. Taiwan's president said the 20% levy is only temporary and is expected to be reduced further when a deal is reached. Wall Street and European shares did not seem to be too bothered by the tariff news. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slipped 0.3%. Both Nasdaq futures and S&P 500 futures fell 0.2%, thanks to a 6% tumble in Amazon after its earnings failed to meet lofty expectations. Now, with the tariff news out of the way, euro zone flash CPI is due later in the day and expectations are for a slight easing to 1.9% in July from 2.0% in annual terms. Markets have only priced in half a cut from the European Central Bank by early next year. And then it's all about waiting for payrolls, which will be pivotal for hopes for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve in September, which is now priced at just 40%, way off 75% a month ago. Forecasts are centred on a 110,000 rise in July, while the jobless rate likely ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Any upside surprises could price out the chance of a move next month, giving dollar bulls another reason to rally. The greenback is headed for the best week - with a gain of 2.5% against its peers - in nearly three years, solidifying its recent uptrend from a three-year low. It has found support from a hawkish Fed that has held off policy easing on tariff risks. And indeed, the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation came in a tad hotter overnight, showing some tariff impact. Key developments that could influence markets on Friday: -- Euro zone flash CPI for July -- U.S. payrolls for July, ISM Manufacturing survey Trying to keep up with the latest tariff news?
