While this laptop isn’t technically a Chromebook, it’s more like a Chromebook than a full-featured computer. Due to low RAM and limited storage, most of your tasks are performed in the cloud. The most appealing part? This is an all-time low price for this laptop.

Fans have praised this device a lot, from the clear display to the ease of use. While others note that the speakers are great for listening to music or watching content, they emphasize that this is definitely the case not a gaming laptop.

This is a feather-light machine that you can easily take with you. At almost 30% off, it’s a real bargain – especially because it’s approaching the lowest price we’ve ever seen. As with the unit above, almost all of your work will take place in the cloud. If you need to do something on the laptop itself, we recommend an external drive. With only 32GB of memory, you don’t have much space to store files.

Several reviewers have said that this small computer is perfect for students and younger children, and many others said that they use it as a home computer. Above all, they like that it is “cheap, lightweight and easy to use.”

This mid-range option has several attractive features that are all the more attractive considering its $300 price tag. Although we’ve seen the price come down, this is still a great deal. It has enough storage and RAM for basic use, and while the 128GB of storage suggests a flash drive might be a worthwhile additional purchase, it’s still a great choice for a student or someone who wants a laptop for everyday use.

In fact, our tech editor Rick Broida named it one of the best laptops of 2024. He said: “This device should easily handle most mainstream computing tasks.”

Another reliable, versatile option, but with impressive speed and storage capacity. The Full HD touchscreen delivers vibrant colors and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for photo and video editing or streaming content.

With 16GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5 processor, you can run demanding applications and switch between tasks smoothly. The 1TB SSD provides ample storage and fast data access, minimizing downtime. Plus, features like a built-in webcam and HDMI connectivity make it ideal for work from home and productivity on the go.

If you’re looking for a versatile gaming laptop that won’t break the bank, the HP Victus is a mid-range device that can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatchand it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once. Oh, and did we mention that this is currently the lowest price ever?

Gaming laptops are notoriously expensive (and niche), but this one strikes a good balance between price and performance.

Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air is just as light as its newer cousins, but comes at a slightly reduced price. And to get to the point: This is the lowest price this Mac has always been. This deal is one of the best Prime Day deals we’ve seen so far.

“Very fast and the specs are perfect for my heavy home office use,” said one customer. “Setup was a breeze thanks to an iCloud backup. I’ve used it on several Zoom and Teams video meetings and the new camera and speakers work great for this purpose.”

This device is incredibly thin and light, making it great for those on the go. Despite its small size, it has a lot of power and the price reduction is nothing to sneeze at – especially for a MacBook.

“I am in love with this laptop,” said one reviewer. “(It’s) a complete game changer. I’m normally a PC guy, but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. …The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me search through more things at once.” …Would thoroughly recommend!”

If you’ve always had your eye on the MacBook Air but want a little more screen to work with, the 15-inch model might be right for you. It takes everything you love about the 13-inch version and makes it even bigger, giving you more space to get things done and making multitasking, streaming, and even photo editing much more engaging. And thanks to an improved six-speaker system with force-cancelling woofers, the sound quality is also significantly improved.

Even with the additional screen real estate, the 15-inch Air retains the typical slim and light feel. Unsurprisingly, the battery life is longer than the 13-inch model and the price increase is quite reasonable considering what you get for it.

I know what you’re thinking: “It’s been three years since 2021.” And while that may be true, this Pro has more than enough power to handle your photo and video editing, as well as all your gaming needs in 2024. Even better? The discount is over $800 off the MSRP, leaving you with enough money for any additional equipment you need.

Say it with me Tim Allen style: “More power!” If you need a laptop that can withstand the rigors of a heavy workload, this 23 model is a great option. Packed with powerful components that can handle anything you throw at it, this is a powerhouse for anyone with a busy schedule who needs a computer that can keep up.

That 10% discount may not seem like much, but $200 is nothing to sneeze at. With the large storage capacity and lightning-fast RAM, you get a lot for your money.
