Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 Laptop, $800

IdeaPad Y560The IdeaPad Y560 intrigued us when it launched about a year ago. It's a sleek, stylish laptop loaded with media-centric components designed to appeal to gamers as well as Lenovo's usual business crowd. The entry-level model usually sells for around $1000, but for a limited time Circuit City is selling the IdeaPad Y560 for $800--a savings of about $200.

Lexmark C543dn Color Laser, $299

Lexmark C543dnIf you've got a small business and have simple printing needs, Lexmark's C543dn is worth considering. This color laser printed good-quality text and decent graphics in our tests (though it did poorly with complex images). When we first reviewed the Lexmark color laser, we thought it was a good deal for only $399. Now, however, it's a steal: For a limited time, Lexmark has the C543dn on sale for $299, and shipping is free.
