Amazon brought back Prime Day deals for another round this year with its Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, also known as the October Prime Day, so retailers like Best Buy have launched their own discounts in response. The Best Buy Prime Day sale includes significant price cuts on a wide range of laptops, and since there are just too many to choose from, we’ve gathered the five best laptop deals right here to help you narrow down your options.

For shoppers on a tight budget, you should check out Prime Day Chromebook deals like Best Buy’s special price for the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook. Compared to traditional Windows-based laptops, Chromebooks are usually cheaper because they use low-end components, but without sacrificing performance because Google’s Chrome OS depends on web-based apps instead of installed software. The Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook features the Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600, and an 11.6-inch HD touchscreen. It’s also a 2-in-1 laptop, capable of switching forms through its 360-degree hinge.

Asus 14-inch Laptop — $200, was $350

It’s more than enough for basic tasks such as typing documents and checking emails with its Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 4GB of RAM, and with its 10-hour battery life, you can keep working even while you’re on the go. The 14-inch HD display offers decent quality and color for watching streaming content, whenever you need to take a break.

Asus 14-inch laptop -- $130, was $250

Incredibly basic, the Asus 14-inch laptop isn't a smart move if you need to use a laptop regularly but if you seriously need the most basic system around and you can't afford more, it'll do the trick.
