Lenovo ThinkPad T470 from $873

The 14-inch ThinkPad T470 is the productivity powerhouse you need to get work done. A world-class keyboard offers deep travel for comfortable typing while its hot-swappable battery lasts over 17 hours of endurance (with the 6-cell unit). The laptop also has several improvements over its predecessors, including an optional PCIe SSD for speedy load times, a fast Intel 7th Gen Core series processor and a chassis that's 0.3 pounds lighter. Best of all, a Thunderbolt 3 port allows you to charge the laptop, power multiple monitors and connect to a huge ecosystem of peripherals over a single cable.
