If you’re looking for a good deal on a laptop that has surprisingly good features and workstation-like qualities, you may want to take a look at this offer from HP. An HP 250 G9 with nearly all specs on full blast comes to just $629 today, which is $964 down from the $1,593 that it would usually cost. Tap the button below to go check out the laptop for yourself or keep reading for our take.

Why you should buy the HP 250 G9

The HP 250 G9 is a 15.6 inch laptop with some customizable options. For today’s deal, the HP 250 G9 is configured as such: It has an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, and comes equipped with an Intel Iris Xe graphics card. To put these options into perspective, all of them are the highest the HP 250 G9 will take, with the exception of internal storage, which has a couple of options for 512GB storage as alternatives. Unless you’re a gamer, we think this will be quite acceptable due to things like Google Drive or Dropbox for your cloud storage needs.

This laptop has a large, full keyboard including a numpad, which fits comfortably into the lower half of its chassis due to the large 15.6 inch, 1080p screen. This makes it great for data entry and, with the processing power it has, it can make a great laptop for business. Then, when it comes time to virtually present your findings, built-in AI noise cancellation will make your voice clear while the camera puts your best face forward in both light and dark environments.

So, to get your HP 250 G9 and have a quality laptop on a budget, just tap the button below. You’ll find the laptop at $629 on sale in HP’s store, with a discount of $964 off of the usual $1,593.

Best refurbished laptop deals: How to find cheap used computers

microsoft surface laptop go 2020 on desk

While it's important to own a laptop of some sort these days, especially if you travel often, many of the better laptops tend to be quite expensive, and if you're on a shoestring budget, then you may not want to spend the sort of money the best laptops are asking for. Luckily, one great alternative is to go for a refurbished laptop since they tend to be surprisingly cheap, with the main thing you'll likely give up in exchange for the lower price being cosmetic damage. Even better, most refurbished laptops come with some sort of warranty, so if you receive yours and find that it has issues, you can usually send it back.

To that end, there are really great refurbished laptop sales that you can check out as part of Best Buy laptop deals, Dell laptop deals, HP laptop deals and Lenovo laptop deals. Alternatively, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, take a look at these refurbished MacBook deals, or if you still want to go for something new, you could consider checking out these laptop deals instead.
Best Buy refurbished laptops -- starting at $120
Best Buy's refurbished laptops are -- you guessed it -- Geek Squad Certified and while they may not be free and clear of absolutely all cosmetic scuffs they are still exceptionally clean and always in working order. Some of them even come with additional software like virus tools, streaming access, like Apple TV+, and much more. Of course, the best part is that you can get a premium and fully upgraded model for less, often with more storage, more power, and more features than you would when buying a base model brand new. You've got some great options from Lenovo, Acer, HP, Dell, Gateway, and even Apple to choose from. The cheapest models start around $120 and increase from there. The best way to know what's available is to head over and browse for yourself.

The Dell XPS 14 just dropped from $1,500 to $1,000

Dell is the brand I tend to recommend to friends and family when they need a dependable laptop. Fortunately, the company often has some great laptop deals, and that’s the case today with $500 off the Dell XPS 14. Usually $1,500, it’s down to $1,000, so you’re saving a considerable chunk of change here. It’s the latest model with the style that we describe as a “momentous design,” so you’ll be delighted with how it looks. Here’s everything else you need to know about it.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 14
We reviewed a similar model of the Dell XPS 14 earlier this year and we were fairly impressed, giving it 3.5 stars out of 5. Crucially, the particular model we looked at felt expensive for what it offered -- something you won’t have to worry about here. The only pivotal issues that align here are that the touch buttons lack haptic feedback, there are limited ports, and the RAM isn’t upgradeable. Buy a USB mouse and don’t plan on upgrading and you’re all good.

For one of the best gaming laptop deals of the week, head over to Best Buy. Today, you can buy an HP Victus 16 gaming laptop for $900 instead of $1,400. Being able to buy a laptop with such a huge screen for this price is pretty great. In the past, we’ve described the Victus range as a “new gaming brand [making] its mark” and this is a good example of what HP has accomplished in recent years. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop, we think you’ll like this one. Read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 16 gaming laptop
We reviewed a slightly different HP Victus 16 in 2022, but since then HP has gone from strength to strength. Crucially, the two models share a similar design. This HP Victus 16 also has a backlit keyboard with white lighting and it feels “great ... with deep travel and very snappy switches that provide excellent responsiveness for both gamers and productivity users.” It also has a larger touchpad, and the minimalist design looks eye catching with its V logo on the back.
