Your Lenovo laptop probably wasn't under $800 so it wouldn't be under de minimus. No change, except for the new taxes.
But the average de minimus package is ~$40 and there are a LOT of them. The point of de minimus is to not tie up customs with insignificant shit. The US has traditionally been a big proponent, bullying other countries into raising their exception limits. But now slamming it to zero... that's going to be some nice chaos.
