Ordinarily priced at $1,000, the Apple MacBook Air is enjoying a modest discount at Amazon with $100 off. MacBook deals are hard to come by so this works out as a pretty good offer. For the price, you get the latest model MacBook Air which means a 10th generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of memory, and 256GB of SSD storage. With a 13-inch screen, it’s big enough for you to see everything you’re doing while also small enough that it’s easy to toss into your bag and take wherever you’re going. It weighs just under 3 pounds.

With up to 12 hours of battery life, you can’t go wrong with how wonderfully portable the MacBook Air is. If you’re worried about security, touch ID support means you can be safe in the knowledge that your laptop can never be unlocked without your fingerprint. It’s a great addition to a device already focused on portability.

The Dell XPS 13 has dropped to one of its lowest prices

With the arrival of the new Dell XPS 13 that's part of this year's Dell XPS reset, the previous-generation Dell XPS 13 is down to a very affordable $599, which is one of the laptop's lowest-ever prices. We're not sure how long stocks will last as this is a clearance sale, so it's highly recommended that you hurry up in completing your purchase if you want to take advantage of Dell's $200 discount on the device's original price of $799. The offer may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so move fast to make sure you don't miss out on one of the most attractive laptop deals today.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13 (2022)
The Dell XPS 13 (2022) used to reign over our list of the best laptops. Two years since its launch, it's still there -- but now as the best budget laptop that you can buy. For its discounted price, you'll get a laptop that looks and feels like a high-end device due to a stunning visual design that includes a 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen with barely any bezels. The laptop is very compact so it's easy to bring with you anywhere, and it features a comfortable keyboard that will help boost your productivity.

Best Buy has a refurbished MacBook for $580, and it’s a good buy

Typically, refurbished MacBook deals, or most refurbished laptop deals for that matter, aren't worth the cost. You can buy a brand-new system for about the same price, especially thanks to the best MacBook deals out there. But that's not the case with a deal Best Buy has available right now. You can get a Geek Squad Certified and refurbished MacBook Air, with an Intel 8th Gen Core i5,  for just $580 -- that saves you $320 off the usual $900 price. A newer model MacBook Air is going to cost you over $900, especially when you factor in taxes and shipping. This is the 2019 model, so while it is a few years old, you're still getting a laptop that can go the distance, as Apple's software updates usually keep older systems performing well.

Why you should buy this refurbished MacBook Air deal at Best Buy
Generally, we only recommend buying refurbished or renewed products straight from the manufacturer, but Best Buy's Geek Squad is the exception to that rule. That's because all refurbished and certified products go through rigorous testing, with detailing, sanitization, and cosmetic grading for the finished product done before they're put up for sale. In other words, they take their time to make sure they certify only good products in reasonable condition. Even if a bad egg slips by, they offer a 90-day warrant with extended warranty protection available -- if you're worried about extended coverage. Although extended warranties are available on an item-by-item basis, some may not qualify.

Missed it last time? Dell’s $599 XPS 13 deal is back again

With the arrival of the new Dell XPS 13, the previous-generation Dell XPS 13 was on sale for just $599 in January and February. We thought the offer for $200 off from the laptop's sticker price of $799 was gone, but it's back as part of a clearance sale from Dell. If you missed the chance at getting the device with a discount for the past couple of months, you wouldn't want to waste this opportunity. To make sure that you pocket the savings this time around, you better push through with the purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS reset brings a new Dell XPS 13, but the previous-generation Dell XPS 13, which is powered by the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, is still a worthwhile purchase today. It's more than enough to tackle your daily tasks for work or school, and its 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen is small enough to maintain portability but sharp enough so you'll get a clear look at your projects. The laptop is also sleek and stylish, which makes it stand out among other options with the same size.
