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.

Best 2-in-1 Chromebook deals

For added versatility, you should think about going for a 2-in-1 Chromebook. A 2-in-1 device, according to our laptop buying guide, combines the utility of a laptop’s keyboard with the ease of use of a tablet’s touchscreen. Some are in the convertible category, which means their displays fold all the way back to transform from laptop to tablet, while some are in the detachable category, which means they have keyboards that also function as protection for their screens when folded. Either way, a 2-in-1 Chromebook gives you the ability to change modes depending on what you need at any given time. They’re generally more expensive than traditional Chromebooks, so take advantage of the discounts from the following 2-in-1 Chromebook deals.

  • Acer Chromebook Spin 311 —
  • HP Chromebook x360 —
  • Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook —
  • Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 —
  • Dell Chromebook 3110 2-in-1 —
  • Dell Latitude 5430 Chromebook 2-in-1 —

Best Microsoft Office deals: Get Word, PowerPoint, and Excel for free
Students using Microsoft Office software on their laptops outside.

Microsoft Office (and Microsoft 365) are still the standards for many businesses, schools, and colleges around the world. While the browser-based, and free, Google Docs and Google Sheets are starting to dig into the market share of these products, in the battle of Microsoft vs Google, Microsoft still holds the gold standard. While there is a Microsoft Word free trial, for most of the goodies we need to pay. And, that need for payment can be quite a drain, as often this is software we need to do work, complete assignments, or submit important documents. As a result, finding Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 deals is critical, even though it can be a challenging task. Here's where to get a leg up on Microsoft and get Office on the cheap.
Best Microsoft Office deals
Microsoft Office is a pay once, receive once service. You don't have to pay recurring monthly fees to use it, but the software also never updates. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Office packages are labelled "2021", so they're all fairly recent but also ripe for a good deal. With the exception of AI integrations, not much has really changed in the past couple of years when it comes to your basic document creation and these programs should continue to be effective for years to come. Depending on what package you get, you'll get access to different apps, based on the needs of the target audience. For example, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 keeps it lean and cool and with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint being the only apps included.

Here are our favorite deals for the classic Microsoft Office experience:

Best Dell XPS deals: Save on Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 17
Dell XPS 15 OLED on a table.

The Dell XPS is one of our favorite laptop lines out there. XPS laptops come in tons of different options, from smaller, budget laptops that are great for students and casual users, to 17-inch behemoths that pack a ton of power. We've pulled out our favorite Dell XPS laptop deals below, organizing them by XPS 13, XPS 15 and XPS 17.

While the most obvious difference between models is the size of the screen, there are a few other trends you can see as the models get bigger. More room in the chassis means more room for components, so the XPS17 models tend to have more RAM and better graphics cards and CPUs than the smaller laptops. Dell also assumes that the larger laptops will be used by professionals, so the components can keep up with a higher level of processing power demands.
