From budget to premium, there is something for everyone.

Best laptop deal: Microsoft Suface Laptop, $1,499 ($700.99 off)

The Surface Laptop is the complete package: Pretty lightweight at 3.7 pounds, and it’s got a Snapdragon X Elite chip and 16GB of RAM. Throw in the excellent battery life (Microsoft claims up to 20 hours) and a 15-inch 2496×1664 PixelSense display, and it’s easy to see what makes this machine so appealing.

Best budget laptop deal: Asus Vivobook Go, $380 ($45 off)

 

Why is this a good deal?

The Vivobook Go sits in the increasingly important “just enough laptop” category.

This is a laptop for web browsing, watching Netflix, and keeping up with email. The lighter stuff that makes up the majority of many people’s computing. That’s what the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U CPU is made for.

Best budget gaming laptop deal: Asus TUF Gaming F16, $999.37 ($200.62 off)

 

Why is this a good deal?

This Asus TUF Gaming F16 hits the bullseye. The Intel Core 5 210H CPU and the RTX 4050 GPU can deliver good-looking 1080p gaming. Just don’t go cranking up the graphics all the way — lean on Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology in games that support it, and you’ll be fine.
