Since its inception, the PCMag Deals team has been dedicated to saving you money and serving up the best electronics sales, especially on laptops. During our careful curation process, we consider different budgets and use cases and the frequency with which we see particular configurations on sale.

We also monitor all major retailers to find you the best discounts and deals. More often than not, we select products tested and vetted in PC Labs by our experts, whose deep experience helps us to determine whether a model is worth your money. We’re here to ensure that you’re getting quality and savings on your next major tech purchase because, after all, you’re probably not buying a new model every year (or even every few years). So let’s get to those laptop deals…

We’ve tested and reviewed the best laptops on the market. If you haven’t upgraded in a while, you’ll be pleased to see all the progress made in screen resolution, memory capacity, processor power (especially for Mac stans ready to step up to an Apple M3 or M4 chip), and battery longevity. Perhaps you’re stuck by the nearest AC outlet because your old battery no longer charges? In that case, many models today (especially lightweight Chromebooks) can go for a full day or longer on a single charge. Check out these deals on all kinds of laptops, which you can easily take during your out-of-town travels for work or play.

Best Gaming Laptop Deals

Budget gamers shouldn’t miss out on the HP Victus, which will easily handle your 1080p gaming needs. Want more power? Check out the Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 9, which will be a content creator’s best friend.

While not as flashy as the high-end HP Omen line, the HP Victus, is a capable configuration when it comes to 1080p gaming. This affordable gaming laptop includes enough RAM to multitask without a hitch, and a zippy AMD processor that will launch applications and speed through productivity tasks like web browsing and document drafting. The 15.6-inch 1080p display is comfortably sized so you can game without using an external monitor, and the rapid 144Hz refresh rate keeps gameplay smooth and tear-free. With this purchase, you won’t be getting a RGB-drenched gaming machine that will play every game at max settings, but the HP Victus does a serviceable job of delivering a modern-day gaming experience for titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at medium to high settings, and it costs just under a grand thanks to this $200 price cut.

You can save 25% on this Lenovo Legion 5i Gen 9, right now. We reviewed a similar configuration, which received an “Excellent” rating from our expert for its excellent performance and lengthy battery life. With specs like these, you can play new and upcoming video game releases at their maximum settings while also streaming your gameplay or recording footage to later edit and post to your socials. With 32GB of RAM, this laptop can not only multitask multiple browser tabs and applications, but tackle more demanding tasks like video editing or AutoCAD, so you can work as hard as you play. Your purchase includes three months of PC Game Pass. Regularly $11.99/month, the subscription service gives you access to an ever-growing library of video games as well as exclusive discounts in the Microsoft Store. Now that’s a good deal!

With a sale price drops down to sub-$600, this Dell Inspiron 15 3535 becomes a solid laptop for daily usage. Life happens, and Dell’s Inspiron line receives military-grade testing to ensure that you don’t have to stress about every little bump and drop. This 15.6-inch laptop sports a 1080p display, while the inclusion of Windows 11 streamlines the user experience with your own personal AI assistant and a modern interface. Plus, a laptop must-have—a multitude of ports—makes it so you’ll have no issues connecting to your other devices, like adding a secondary display or plugging in your phone or flash drive to transfer files. Not the fanciest model out there, but you’re not looking for fancy; you’re looking for “gets the job done.” And this capable Dell Inspiron 15 3520 does just that, now for $170 less.

Lenovo was named one of our best tech brands for 2024, lauded for its build quality and performance and approved via testing by our team of experts in the PC Labs. Again, nothing fancy here, just a straightforward, simple laptop for everyday computing tasks. This model also includes a number of ports including  HDMI, USB-C. and a built-in media reader that makes it easy to connect your peripherals. With an additional $120 off the already affordable price, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is a super affordable option for students or those on a budget.

Best 2-in-1 and Touch-Screen Laptop Deals

Transforming from tablet to laptop or just incorporating a touch screen for a more intuitive user interface, 2-in-1s are versatile devices. If you don’t need the 360-degree hinge typical of 2-in-1 models, a clamshell-style touch-screen laptop is a (sometimes) more affordable option. Our topmost 2-in-1 laptop deal is for Dell’s 16-inch Inspiron 16 Plus 7640, followed by a similar HP Envy x360 option.

This Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 has a 16-inch touch display and decent performance, thanks to its powerful processor and 16GB of RAM. Its built-in webcam means you can make it to Zoom meetings and hold video calls with friends and family, boosted by AI enhancements to ensure you’ll look and sound your best. Dell ExpressCharge technology quickly charges the laptop up to 80% in as little as 60 minutes, so you’ll spend less time tethered to an outlet and more time taking care of business. Finally, for those with creative-content or modest gaming intentions, this model has options for an RTX 4050 or RTX 4060 GPU and up to 32GB of RAM. As configured, this laptop will do a lot in terms of productivity tasks, and at $300 off, it’s an excellent deal no matter how you plan to use it.

This 2-in-1 HP Envy x360 with a 16-inch touch display will make a great work station thanks to the powerful processor and 16GB of RAM. A built-in webcam means you’ll be able to make it to Zoom meetings and video calls, and with a standard privacy shutter and mic mute, you’ll keep yourself from looking and sounding bad (but you’re a great listener). With HP’s proprietary HP Fast Charge technology, you won’t have to stay tethered to an outlet for long because you can gain 50% battery charge in just 45 minutes and be on your way and computing. Our expert rated an HP Envy x360 with a 15.6-inch OLED screen highly due to its peppy performance, decent battery life, and wide array of ports, so this model is definitely worth a second look if you’re not hung up on having an OLED display—especially with a solid $230 price drop. Add an optional HP USB-C Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen to your purchase in order to take full advantage of the touch screen.
