Dealmaster: Lenovo's ThinkPad doorbusters top Memorial Day deals

Among other things, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer. Hopefully, you're headed to the mountains, a beach, or at least grilling something during the long weekend. It's no time for Dealmaster to take it easy, though--retailers know you're off work. So lots of companies have launched deals and discounts.

This weekend is a great time to get a new smartwatch for tracking your outdoor activities or a blender to whip up a protein shake after your workout. Our favorite deal, if you're in the market for a new laptop, comes from Lenovo's sale on various ThinkPad and gaming models. There are also sales on new TVs, headphones, robot vacuums, and other practical tech accessories.
