Best Laptop Deals: Big Savings on MacBooks, Vivobook, Surface Laptops and More

The HP 15 laptop has an entry-level Intel Core i3-1215U, which will work fine for the majority of productivity costs. It also has a large, 15.6-inch screen running an FHD resolution and, more importantly, 8GB of RAM, which is about the minimum we'd like to see, and the same goes for the 256GB storage.

Having something budget-friendly doesn't mean that it has to be subpar in terms of performance. Luckily, the Asus Vivobook 16 is surprisingly powerful, with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS processor under the hood, which will easily hit productivity work out of the park. It also has a pretty large 16-inch screen with a 1,600x768 resolution, which is a bit on the low side, but to be expected for this price.

Two-in-one touchscreens are very versatile, especially if you prefer something with a writing experience. It has a mid-range AMD Ryzen 5 7535U processor, which isn't as powerful as some other options on this list, but it's enough for most productivity and some editing tasks. RAM is a bit on the lower end as well at 8GB, although it won't have a massive impact on you unless you love to have dozens of tabs and apps open at a time.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly gaming laptop, the Dell G15 is a pretty excellent option that's regularly suggested. While it isn't the best, it does a good job of balancing various needs, with an RTX 3050, a Ryzen 5 7640HS processor and an impressive 16GB of DDR5 RAM.

This configuration of the Legion Slim 5 is a solid mid-tier gaming laptop, especially since it comes with an RTX 4060 and a Ryzen 5 7640HS. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and an FHD resolution, which means it won't tax the GPU and your games will more likely hit both the refresh rate and the resolution.

Apple's new MacBook Air 15 is a great option if you're looking for a thin and light laptop in the Apple ecosystem that still has a relatively large screen. It comes with an M2 chip, one generation old but still very powerful, as well as 8GB and 256GB of storage, both of which are on par with what we'd expect to see from Apple at this price. There is also up to $825 in trade-in value you can take advantage of.

If you're looking for a gaming laptop for less than $1,050, this one's worth considering. It has a 14-inch screen, which isn't large but can make it easier to bring the laptop with you when you travel. Plus, it sports 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, an AMD Ryzen 9 7000 processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card, which will work well for gamers and creators alike. 

This laptop is a solid choice for everyday users. It has 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, but where it shines is the 13.5-inch screen with 2,256x1,504-pixel full high-definition resolution. It's a good size for portability and is great for staying productive or streaming content on the go.
