Among our overall best laptops list, the Apple MacBook Air was declared by Digital Trends to be our favorite MacBook this year. The most popular Mac model, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch, 2560×1600-pixel hi-resolution Retina display, wrapped in a 100% recycled aluminum frame. The LED-backlit butterfly keyboard provides prime stability, while the classic Force Touch trackpad enables precision and uniform control, even when using Multi-Touch gestures.

Specs-wise, this MacBook Air boasts 8GB memory and 128GB SSD, while being powered by dual-core 8th Gen Intel i5 processors featuring Turbo Boost up to 3.6gHZ. Among the MacBook Air’s standouts are its security-focused features, like Touch ID for logging in and accessing documents. Apple’s T2 Security Chip allows for on-the-fly data encryption, and recognizes your voice through Siri audio commands.

You can pick up the Google Pixel 7 Pro for only $500 today

If you've been holding out on buying a new phone for a while because prices are still expensive, then you may want to consider going for one of the older flagship phones. For example, while the Pixel 8 Pro is out, the Pixel 7 Pro is still a powerful and viable alternative, and even better, it has quite a few great deals on it. In fact, you can buy a brand new and sealed Pixel 7 Pro from Woot for just $500, rather than the usual $1,100, and that's for the 512GB version of the phone, so you get a lot of storage with it as well.

This popular Dell business laptop is discounted from $849 to $579

If you're looking for a solid business laptop that's both portable and won't break the bank, then you'll be very happy with the Vostro 14. Not only is it highly rated, but it's still packed with features for being such a small device, and while it can be a little bit pricey at MSRP, you can get it for a steep discount. Dell has knocked an impressive $270 off the usual $849 price tag, bringing it down to a much more affordable $579, making it an excellent deal if you've been looking for a new device.

Why you should buy the Vostro 14
For being only a small 14-inch laptop, the Vostro 14 has some pretty good specs and a couple of ones that maybe should have been slightly better. For example, you get 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which is really excellent, especially for a more business-oriented laptop, so you can open a lot of apps and tabs at the same time. On the other hand, you only get an Intel Core i5-1335U, which is a mid-range processor, and while it's absolutely fine for business work and productivity, it would have been nice to get the higher-end Intel Core i7-1355U for a bit extra power and versatility.
