Don’t miss the chance to get this 15-inch Lenovo laptop for $200
The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 laptop with the Windows 11 interface on the display.

Students and casual web browsers rejoice! Budget laptops are getting cheaper and cheaper. You no longer have to spend your whole paycheck on a computer. As long as you're doing simple tasks like streaming movies, typing Word docs, and browsing the internet, $200 will get you a quality machine. Or $201, to be precise. This Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is normally $330, but right now it's own to $201. Read more about it below to make sure it fits your needs.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad 1
One thing that the IdeaPad 1 has going for it is the AMD Athlon Silver 3050U, a reasonably powerful mobile processor roughly equivalent to a 6th or 7th-generation Intel i5 CPU, so it's quite powerful. If you aren't familiar with either company's CPUs, suffice it to say that the Athlon Silver is great and will easily handle all the productivity tasks you can throw at it and even handle a bit of streaming as well. Luckily you get an impressive 15.6-inch screen that can handle 220 nits of peak brightness, which isn't too bad for a budget laptop. That said, it only runs on HD resolution, so it's not the best if you plan to stream a lot of Netflix or Disney+ on your off time.

Walmart’s Memorial Day sale gets you an Apple Watch for $149
The screen of the Apple Watch SE showing its apps.

If you've been looking forward to this year's Memorial Day sales to hopefully purchase an Apple Watch for cheap, your wait is over because Walmart is selling the 40mm model of the first-generation Apple Watch SE for just $149. That's $130 in savings from the wearable device's sticker price of $279, for one of the most affordable smartwatch deals that you can purchase for the holiday.

Walmart won't always have Apple Watch deals this cheap, so we're expecting this offer to attract a lot of attention. If you don't want to miss out on getting the first-generation Apple Watch SE for nearly half its original price, you'll need to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can. You shouldn't wait until Memorial Day itself to complete the transaction because the retailer's stocks of the smartwatch may be gone by then.
