The only thing better than a great laptop is a great laptop that fits your budget. Nowadays, even cheap PCs pack the specs to help you tackle whatever's on your to-do list, whether it's work, school assignments, watching Netflix, or just endlessly browsing social media. If you're hunting for a new one but don't necessarily want to wipe your savings account in one go, we're compiling a weekly list of the best deals on laptops across major retailers right here. Read on for our top picks as of June 9 (categorized by price, then listed in alphabetical order).

Laptop deals under $300

Why we like it

This 14-inch compact laptop from ASUS comes with 256GB of SSD storage and 8GB of RAM, which is super rare to see in the sub-$300 price range. (Other notable specs include an entry-level AMD Ryzen 3 processor and a backlit keyboard.) It's 25% off in the ASUS Store, down $100 from its $399 MSRP.

Why we like it

Rated highly by customers for its long battery life (up to 12 hours per charge), this 15-inch Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is a lightweight PC from 2022 with an 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a hefty 512GB of SSD storage. Best Buy just revived its Memorial Day deal and dropped it back down to $419.99, which is 33% off its $649.99 MSRP (and $30 cheaper than its current sale price on Lenovo's website(opens in a new tab)).

Why we like it

This is the 13-inch MacBook Air from 2020 with an M1 chip, a sleek fanless design, and an 18-hour battery life — you may recall it nabbing a Mashable Choice Award upon release. Its 256GB base configuration is on sale at the record-low price of $799.99 at Amazon(opens in a new tab) and Best Buy(opens in a new tab), which is about 20% off its usual retail price of $999. You won't find a cheaper MacBook anywhere unless you go the used or refurbished route.

Why we like it

Announced during Apple's jam-packed Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote on Monday, June 5, the new 15-inch MacBook Air upgrades its 13-inch predecessor with a bigger display and two extra speakers. (It retains the same M2 chip, 18-hour battery life, and quiet, fanless design.) Amazon wasted no time in putting it on sale: You can pre-order the 256GB base model there for $1,249.99, which is about $50 off its MSRP and its first discount to date.

If you happen to be a student, teacher, or school staff member, reserve it directly through the Apple Store(opens in a new tab) instead for a $100 education discount and a free $150 gift card during its Back to School sale (live until Monday, Oct. 2).

Frequently Asked Questions


There are several times throughout the year when we see extra-low prices on laptops:

  • Around Amazon Prime Day, which generally happens in mid-July

  • During back-to-school sales in July and August

  • When retailers' Black Friday and holiday deals are in full swing from October to December

Laptops also tend to get cheaper right after manufacturers announce next-generation models, which explains why we're seeing some really good MacBook deals in the wake of WWDC. (We didn't expect the new 15-inch MacBook Air to go on sale so fast, though.)


We find a lot of good laptop deals at major retailers like Best Buy and Amazon (and occasionally Walmart), though they often sell discontinued models and inflate original list prices — that makes discounts look better than they actually are. As such, we also cross-check their deals with manufacturers' direct websites. Many of them are usually running sales of their own, too.


We're partial to Acer, Apple, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, Microsoft, MSI, Razer, and Samsung: They're reputable brands that typically tick most (or all) of the right boxes when it comes to innovative features, durable build quality, customer support, and overall value.
