What’s better than a great laptop? A great laptop that’s cheap. Nowadays, even budget machines 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 looking to pick up a new laptop (but don’t necessarily want to drop your life savings 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 Dec. 8.

Laptop deals under $300

This is prime territory for entry-level Chromebooks with Intel Celeron N Series processors, embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) storage, and 11- to 14-inch displays that are geared toward light multitasking.

Why we like it

The 14-inch ASUS Chromebook Flip C433 is an extremely well-reviewed 2-in-1 laptop with double the RAM (8GB) of most machines in this price range. Best Buy has it on sale for $229 (or 40% off) and throws in free trials of YouTube Premium and Webroot Internet Security Plus with Antivirus, a combined value of $65.96. For comparison’s sake, the exact same configuration has never dipped below $249 on Amazon(opens in a new tab), where it’s currently the No. 1 bestselling hybrid PC(opens in a new tab).

A bit of a catch-all, this price range includes bare-bones gaming laptops, upgraded Chromebooks, and 2-in-1 PCs with solid-state drive (SSD) storage and 15- to 17-inch displays.

Why we like it

Lenovo’s Alexa-enabled, 360-degree laptop/tablet hybrid also punches above its price point with a powerful AMD Ryzen 5 processor, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Vision. Best Buy has it on sale for just $499.99 (or 33% off) with a free six-month, three-device subscription to Webroot Internet Security Plus with Antivirus that’s worth $29.99.

Think mid-range Samsung Galaxy Chromebooks, Microsoft Surface Laptops, Dell Inspirons, and older-generation Apple MacBook Airs on sale.

Why we like it

Apple’s 13.3-inch MacBook Air from late 2020 features the original M1 chip and an 18-hour battery life. The base configuration’s all-time-low price from Cyber Weekend is still live at Best Buy: Save 20% while nabbing free trials of Apple TV+, Apple Music, and iCloud+ (worth almost $70 altogether).

Here’s where you’ll find beefed-up gaming laptops from Dell and ASUS, newer Apple MacBooks, and other workhorses with couple-hundred- to thousand-dollar discounts.

Why we like it

A 2022 release, this ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 boasts impressive specs like a high-performance NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU and an ultra-fast 1TB PCIe 4.0 solid state drive (generally considered among the best SSDs for gaming). Best Buy wins once again with a $350 discount on the machine itself, which gets beefed up with three great freebies: a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, a month’s worth of Xbox Game Pass, and a 6-month trial of Webroot Internet Security Plus with Antivirus (worth about $110 altogether).
