To be quite honest, the so-called “promos” for the IdeaPad U Series are a bit pathetic, so let’s not waste words on that.

Discounts for the ThinkPad X Series look more promising however, featuring price cuts as high as £377.20!

Lenovo doesn’t promise as much generosity with its supremely high-end W700 series—known for the W700ds, a 17″ gargantuan featuring a slide-out 10.6″ secondary screen. And W700 mobile workstations aren’t really known for their affordability. Still, the highest discount of £223.42 is still pretty significant.

Another caveat: these promos are only available to UK residents, as Lenovo UK can’t ship out of… the UK. They last until September 24, 2009. In any case, here are the three promo pages for your perusal:

The manufacturer is promising at least 25% off on its laptops, setting an expiry for this September 15 to add some urgency to the offer. Check out the discount line-up here. ThinkPads may now sport a different brand, but the Chinese company has done a decent job of upholding the rugged business tradition of IBM, at least in our opinion. The X Series remains on the top of our list, thanks to its good mix of portability and power.

Now if only Lenovo can do away with that damn eraserhead.
