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.

  • M2 MacBook Air 13 —

Continuing from all the holiday sales excitement, HP still has a HP 17-inch laptop for $240 off bringing the price down to $260. Usually priced at $500, this is one of those laptop deals that's a great option for anyone seeking an inexpensive Windows-based laptop to take to class or similar. We're here to tell you a little more about it before you consider making your purchase. As a previous Cyber Monday deal, expect it to end pretty soon.

Why you should buy the HP 17-inch laptop
The HP 17-inch laptop keeps things simple. It has an AMD Athlon Gold 7220U processor along with 8GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage. It won't rival the best laptops when it comes to performance, but it's well priced for what it offers. It also offers a hefty advantage for the price -- a 17-inch display. Said display has a HD+ resolution of 1600 x 900 while it also has 250 nits of brightness. While it might not be great for using in bright sunlight, it's a good call if you need more space to juggle your many windows.

If the laptop deals that you're seeing are still beyond your budget, you may want to check out Chromebooks, which are generally more affordable alternatives to Windows-based machines. Powered by Chrome OS, these devices are capable of running fast and smooth despite low-end components because of their operating system's web-based nature, so you don't have to install much software that slows down laptops. While a few Chromebooks are pushing the envelope with top-tier specifications, most of the Chromebook deals that we've gathered here are on the cheaper side -- if you see one that you like, proceed with the purchase immediately because there's no telling how much time is remaining on any of them.

While Chromebooks come in all shapes and sizes, one thing that they all have in common is the ease of using Chrome OS. The operating system grants quick access to Google's wide network of services, including Google Docs where you can create your reports, Google Play Store where you can download apps, and Google Drive where you can save your files. The best Chromebooks also promise decent displays and solid build quality, which make them excellent choices as work or school companions.

There has been a huge boom in gaming laptops in the past few years; once they were bulky, expensive, and not that good, we now have thin and lightweight configurations with lots of power. We're also seeing more and more powerful GPUs in gaming laptops, although it's important to note that even if laptop GPUs have the same name as desktop GPUs, they often aren't the same. Even so, having a laptop RTX 4070 or 4080, which are one step down from their desktop counterparts, are leaps and bounds better than a few years ago when we'd have to rely on the processor to do all the graphical lifting.
There's a lot of variety to pick from, and the market is saturated with deals, so to help you along, we've collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals below. We've broken it up between Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs so you can pick the processor family you feel most comfortable with.
