There are, of course, an absolute ton of different laptop deals to pick from, but we’ve done our best to make a selection of deals that cover every budget and need. 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 —

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.
