Buying a new laptop can be very daunting, especially with how saturated the market is with dozens of options from nearly a dozen brands and various configurations of each of those laptops. Even worse is trying to navigate the maze of available laptop deals across various retailers, and for those who don’t want to do all that legwork, you’re in luck! We’ve used our experience to collect the best deals in various categories to ensure you get the best bang for your buck. All you need to do is have a general sense of what specs or brand you want, and we’ll likely have a deal for it listed below.

That means that if you need something a bit more on the lower end in terms of price, there’s an option, and if you want something that’s powerful enough to game or do editing work, we have that listed below, too.

Best Chromebook Deals

If you’re going for something a bit more budget-friendly, a Chromebook is an excellent option since ChromeOS tends to be a lot more lightweight, so the same specs go further when compared to Windows. That’s not to say that you can’t find some high-end Chromebooks either, and if you’re in the Google ecosystem and prefer to stick to that for work and school, then there are some solid options for you as well. And if these don’t really tickle your fancy, then check out some of these other Chromebook deals as well.

Best 2-in-1 Laptop Deals

The big advantage of a 2-in-1 laptop is that you can have a more tablet-like experience while still having the power of a more traditional laptop under the hood. Of course, what you go for will depend heavily on the specs and, more importantly, the weight, especially if you want something that will spend most of its time in tablet mode or held in your arm. Either way, there are a lot of great 2-in-1 laptop deals you can take advantage of.

  • HP 2-in-1 14 —
  • Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook 13.3″ OLED —
  • Dell Inspiron 14 —
  • Lenovo Yoga 7 —
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ —
  • Samsung- Galaxy Book2 360 AMOLED —
  • ASUS Flow Z13 —

Best Gaming Laptop Deals

In the past few years, gaming laptops have come a long way. Gone are the days when they would be exceedingly bulky, heavy, and expensive. Instead, modern gaming laptops, especially in the past couple of years, have become relatively thin and lightweight, and the prices have decreased considerably. Of course, if you want the best of the best, then you’re still going to pay a pretty penny, but for the most part, gaming laptop deals have brought their prices down to where they are within reach for the majority of folks.

  • Lenovo LOQ 15 with RTX 3050 —
  • Dell G15 with RTX 3050 —
  • MSI Bravo 15 with RTX 4050 —
  • ASUS TUF 15 with RTX 4070 —

  • ASUS ROG Strix 18 with RTX 4080 —

Best Apple MacBook Deals

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem and want to grab a laptop, then the obvious choice is to go with a MacBook, and if you do a lot of graphical or music editing work, then they tend to be quite excellent for that, too. Of course, being Apple products, MacBooks tend to have a rather deep price tag as well, but luckily, quite a few good MacBook deals are going around, although they aren’t as steep as you would find with a Windows laptop or Chromebook.

  • M2 MacBook Air 13 —
  • M2 Apple MacBook Air15 —

Best 17-inch laptop deals: Big savings on big screens

While many folks tend to focus on smaller and more portable laptops, others prefer something with a bigger screen. While they tend to be harder to find bags for, bigger screens give you more screen real estate to work with, and if you have eyesight issues, having a bigger screen can also work. Unfortunately, there aren't as many 17-inch screens out there as we would like, but we've still found a nice selection that you can pick from, with everything from the budget-friendly to the high-end.
Our Favorite 17-inch Laptop Deal

While there aren't a lot of budget-oriented 17-inch laptop deals, this one on HP's 17z is a solid choice if you want a Windows laptop that stays under $300. It comes with an AMD Athlon Gold 7220U, which is perfect for simple day-to-day tasks and productivity work, and the 8GB of RAM will give you a bit of leeway when it comes to apps and tabs. Storage is minimal, though, at only 128GB, so you might want to grab one of these external hard drive deals to help. As for the screen, it runs a 1600 x 900, but you can upgrade that to 1920 x 1080 for an extra $40, which is what we'd do if we only made one upgrade here. That said, if you can swing it, then upgrading to the AMD Ryzen 3 7320U for $80 is also another good upgrade that will give you a better quality of life.

One of the great things about 2-in-1 laptops is that you don't have to go for either a traditional tablet or a full-blown laptop, but you really can go for something a little bit in between. In fact, convertible laptops have become very powerful and lightweight in the past few years, with much more power under the hood than they used to. Luckily, there are many great options you can pick from, from cheap Chromebooks to more expensive models decked out with AMOLED screens. Either way, we've collected some of our favorite deals below to help save you the trouble of having to go looking, so be sure to check out our picks below.

This Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop is 62% off right now
lenovo thinkpad x1 oled deal march 2022 extreme feature shot

Lenovo probably has one of the widest laptop offerings of any brand, so if you're looking for a work laptop, then Lenovo has some great options. For example, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is made to be the quintessential work laptop with a lot of quintessential business-related features. You can grab it now from Lenovo for just $1,200 rather than the usual $3,229, although it is important to note that, while it may seem like a large discount, Lenovo does have a tendency to over-rice the list price of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. That's not to say it's a great deal; taking the laptop as is without the MSRP, the $1,200 is still excellent.

Why you should buy the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11
Under the hood, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon has an Intel Core i7-1365U vPro Processor, which is a mid-to-high-end processor in the latest generation, so you're getting something up-to-date. It also means that you're going to be able to handle pretty much all productivity work without issue, and that includes everything from document processing to slideshow making. It can also likely get some editing work done, which is handy if you need a couple to do a bit of simple photo editing now and again. Besides the powerful processor, the 32GB of DDR5 RAM will give you an overall solid day-to-day experience. Plus, it's a good amount of RAM to have if you're a programmer or do a lot of CAD stuff.
