Lenovo's 14-inch IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook usually retails for $229.99. As of Nov. 7, it's down $90 to $139.99 in Target's early Black Friday sale.

Lenovo has started its Black Friday laptop sale early, with discounts hitting 58 per cent. Notebooks range from business-class, ultraportable ThinkPads, through Yoga convertible tablets, to gaming machines like the Lenovo Legion 7i.
