Shopping for a new computer can often be a frustrating and confusing experience. To make it easier, we’ve sorted through the web to find the best laptop deals.
Given that so many of us depend on our laptops for work and staying in touch with loved ones, chances are good that if you need a new laptop, you probably need it soon — meaning you don’t have the luxury of waiting for seasonal events like Labor Day sales to cop a deal. But you can rest easy, weary bargain-hunter, because we’re here to help: Below, we’ve scooped up the six best laptop deals available online right now, and we’ve made sure to cover all the bases from super-cheap work machines to 2-in-1 laptops and MacBooks. All of them are on sale at great prices, and better still, each one comes in at less than $1,000. Still need some help? We’ve also put together this in-depth laptop buying guide to bring you up to speed with everything you need to know before you buy. Asus built its name on affordable Windows PCs and still cranks out some of the best high-value work machines. This 14-inch VivoBook laptop is a great entry-level computer for anyone looking for a good work machine for less than $500: It runs on an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU with built-in Radeon Vega 8 graphics and a full 8GB of RAM, and it also sports a high-speed 256GB solid-state system drive. Solid specs for a cheap laptop and perfectly suited for those with basic needs (and the Vega graphics even give you some juice for light gaming). At just $429, it’s around the same cost or even cheaper than many of the best Chromebooks out there and is arguably the best cheap laptop you’re going to find right now for less than 500 bucks. Its specs rival laptops that typically go for $550 or more — and since it’s packing pretty recent hardware for such a cheap laptop, it shouldn’t feel outdated any time soon despite its low price. One of the best laptops on the market today — and in fact, for several years running — is actually a tablet. The Surface Pro line has sat among our favorite 2-in-1s for a while now and the new Surface Pro 7, while not a breathtaking update, is a very solid machine.
