    The only thing better than a great laptop is a great laptop that fits your budget. Nowadays, even cheap PCs 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 wipe your savings account 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 April 7 (categorized by price, then listed in alphabetical order).

    Laptop deals under $300

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

    $199.99 at Best Buy (save $130)
    (opens in a new tab)

    Why we like it

    It won't blow you away with its processing power or low-res display, but according to our friends over at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis), this 15-inch Lenovo laptop from 2022 earns points for its all-day battery life and durable build. A $130 price drop at Best Buy makes it a good value: You'll pay just $199.99 instead of its usual $329.99 MSRP. Note that it comes with three free months of Xbox Game Pass (worth $29.97), though we wouldn't recommend playing any games on it besides The Sims or Minecraft on low graphics settings.

    Laptop deals under $600

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

    $494.99 at Best Buy (save $405)
    (opens in a new tab)

    Why we like it

    Seeing a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 at a sub-$500 price point is extremely rare, but Best Buy pulled it off with a clearance markdown that takes a whopping 45% off this model's $899.99 MSRP. It comes with a 13-inch PixelSense touchscreen, a battery life of up to 19 hours (plus a fast-charging feature), and a snappy little AMD Ryzen 5 Microsoft Surface Edition that can support multitasking.

    Why we like it

    This is the 13-inch MacBook Air from 2020 with an M1 chip, a sleek fanless design, and an 18-hour battery life — you may recall it nabbing a Mashable's Choice Award upon release. Its base configuration is on sale at the record-low price of $799.99 on Amazon, which is about $200 off its usual retail price of $999.

    (opens in a new tab)

    Why we like it

    A 2022 standout, this high-end ASUS laptop impresses with a 14-inch secondary touchscreen between the keyboard and its main 16-inch, 165Hz display — great for keeping tabs on Discord, Spotify, or in-game maps while you play. (PCMag called it a "gaming dream machine" in their 4/5-star review.) This base configuration just went on sale at Amazon for $1,699.99, which is a whopping $800 off its $2,499.99 MSRP and its biggest discount to date by far. It previously sold out on the ASUS website at this same price, FYI.
