Buying a new laptop can be very daunting, especially with how saturated the market is with dozens of options from nearly a dozen brands and various configurations of each of those laptops. Even worse is trying to navigate the maze of available laptop deals across various retailers, and for those who don’t want to do all that legwork, you’re in luck! We’ve used our experience to collect the best deals in various categories to ensure you get the best bang for your buck. All you need to do is have a general sense of what specs or brand you want, and we’ll likely have a deal for it listed below.

There are, of course, an absolute ton of different laptop deals to pick from, but we’ve done our best to make a selection of deals that cover every budget and need. That means that if you need something a bit more on the lower end in terms of price, there’s an option, and if you want something that’s powerful enough to game or do editing work, we have that listed below, too.

Best Chromebook Deals

If you’re going for something a bit more budget-friendly, a Chromebook is an excellent option since ChromeOS tends to be a lot more lightweight, so the same specs go further when compared to Windows. That’s not to say that you can’t find some high-end Chromebooks either, and if you’re in the Google ecosystem and prefer to stick to that for work and school, then there are some solid options for you as well. And if these don’t really tickle your fancy, then check out some of these other Chromebook deals as well.

  • HP Chromebook X360 —
  • ASUS 17 —

Best 2-in-1 Laptop Deals

The big advantage of a 2-in-1 laptop is that you can have a more tablet-like experience while still having the power of a more traditional laptop under the hood. Of course, what you go for will depend heavily on the specs and, more importantly, the weight, especially if you want something that will spend most of its time in tablet mode or held in your arm. Either way, there are a lot of great 2-in-1 laptop deals you can take advantage of.

  • HP 2-in-1 14 —
  • Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook 13.3″ OLED —
  • Dell Inspiron 14 —
  • Lenovo Yoga 7 —
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ —
  • Samsung- Galaxy Book2 360 AMOLED —
  • ASUS Flow Z13 —

Best Gaming Laptop Deals

In the past few years, gaming laptops have come a long way. Gone are the days when they would be exceedingly bulky, heavy, and expensive. Instead, modern gaming laptops, especially in the past couple of years, have become relatively thin and lightweight, and the prices have decreased considerably. Of course, if you want the best of the best, then you’re still going to pay a pretty penny, but for the most part, gaming laptop deals have brought their prices down to where they are within reach for the majority of folks.

  • Lenovo LOQ 15 with RTX 3050 —
  • Dell G15 with RTX 3050 —
  • MSI Bravo 15 with RTX 4050 —
  • ASUS TUF 15 with RTX 4070 —
  • Lenovo Legion Slim 5 with RTX 4060 —

  • Dell G16 with RTX 4070 —
  • Alienware m18 with RTX 4070 —
  • ASUS ROG Strix 18 with RTX 4080 —

Best Apple MacBook Deals

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem and want to grab a laptop, then the obvious choice is to go with a MacBook, and if you do a lot of graphical or music editing work, then they tend to be quite excellent for that, too. Of course, being Apple products, MacBooks tend to have a rather deep price tag as well, but luckily, quite a few good MacBook deals are going around, although they aren’t as steep as you would find with a Windows laptop or Chromebook.

The Dell XPS is one of our favorite laptop lines out there. XPS laptops come in tons of different options, from smaller, budget laptops that are great for students and casual users, to 17-inch behemoths that pack a ton of power. We've pulled out our favorite Dell XPS laptop deals below, organizing them by XPS 13, XPS 15 and XPS 17.

While the most obvious difference between models is the size of the screen, there are a few other trends you can see as the models get bigger. More room in the chassis means more room for components, so the XPS17 models tend to have more RAM and better graphics cards and CPUs than the smaller laptops. Dell also assumes that the larger laptops will be used by professionals, so the components can keep up with a higher level of processing power demands.
