This seems to be a yearly event: RedFlagDeals points out that ThinkPads are on special (many 45% off). Given their popularity on this list and their known compatibility with Linux, I hope it's okay to post this:

The cheapest model (ThinkPad X395) has an AMD chip (yay! About time with Intel's endless stream of security botches) and soldered-in memory (boo). Oh - and is currently ~$1000.
I picked up a T590 for someone at about 50% off a few weeks ago. It sure is a lot thinner and lighter than my W530 and perhaps a tiny bit faster. No more swappable battery, no optical drive, but screen and battery life is a lot better and it has a number pad and a much better quality screen. -- Len Sorensen
