Add as a preferred source on Google

Now is the perfect time to grab some crazy deals on back-to-school gear, including laptops and desktop computers. There are some awesome HP laptop deals available, for instance. You could opt for a power-heavy machine for gaming and graphics editing, or you could go with something more lightweight that’s easier to lug back and forth between home and school.

The two HP laptops that Staples has on sale right now rest somewhere in between, offering a solid balance between power and portability. The first is the HP 15.6-inch (15-dw3163st) for $490 or 10% off. The second model is the HP 17.3-inch (17-cn0173st) for $570 or 5% off. Both include free delivery, next-day if you order soon, and are excellent deals. You can read more about the laptops and deals below.
