Equipped with 32GB RAM and 1 TB of internal storage, this HP is a solid mid-range laptop that can handle business, work and student tasks — juggling through multiple windows at once. It comes bundled with a high-end mouse pad, a USB-C to HDMI cable, a USB-C extension with support for fast charging and a cleaning cloth for wiping the screen of smudges. It's a pretty large screen at 17.3 inches, so it may be best for casual gamers and those who work on larger visual-heavy projects. Right now, it's 25% off — matching its Prime Day sale price.

Promising review: “So far this laptop has been great. It turns on quickly. Easy to set up initially and easy to use. My last laptop was pretty old so the new abilities the laptops have now is pretty impressive, they are pretty intuitive/predictive. I charged it once and haven't had to charge it again for several days - so that's been nice - but I also haven't used it much. The keyboard is easy to use and the touchpad is large and easy to use as well. I contacted the seller and they were incredibly fast at responding and addressing my questions. Definitely recommend!” — Megan

The Victus is a solid laptop for streaming games and movies, and it's powerful enough for productive tasks like word processing and sheet editing. It has a full HD display and an Intel Core i5-12450H processor for decent graphical power. Its 8 GB of RAM is enough for those casually gaming or working from home, while its 512 GB of internal storage is ample room for students and workers alike. This machine is available for $100 off its original $699 price.

Promising review: “This is a moderately priced gaming laptop with decent specifications for gaming. Personally, I am using it mostly for productivity - but will occasionally want to play a game. Consequently, while I appreciate the Intel Core i5-12450H processor, the 8 GB of RAM, and the 512 GB SSD drive, I recognize that it is likely to be underpowered for many high-end games. The graphics engine, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 GPU, is a great addition. It may not be the cutting edge of graphics processors, but it is still quite good. However, for my usage - mostly productivity with the occasional game - this is a reasonable configuration. My understanding is the RAM can be expanded up to 16GB and I expect that the SSD can be replaced with a more substantial one if needed.” — A. Grover (This review has been edited for length.

A MacBook Air for less than $1,000? Believe it. But of course, it's with a caveat: This isn't the latest and greatest MacBook Air. It's still worth the splurge, though, even if Apple is retiring this model, as you'll still receive a quality laptop to use for years to come. The laptop has a claimed 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, uses the brand's “breakthrough” M1 chip and speedy performance. You'll also get Apple’s standard 1-year warranty, plus 90 days of complimentary tech support with the option to purchase AppleCare for extended coverage, if you need it. This is a steal for an Apple product. The highest price we've seen this was for $999 at Best Buy. Now, you can get it for only a little over half that.

If you do want the latest and greatest MacBook Air, it's only a few hundred dollars more than its predecessors. This MacBook uses Apple's latest M3 chip to make its speediest processor to date — with a lightning-fast, 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU for loading multiple apps at once. It's got a 13.6-inch screen for a beautiful display, terrific sound via its internal speakers, up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera for chatting with friends and family. Like the above Air, you'll get Apple’s 1-year warranty, 90 days of complimentary tech support and an option to purchase AppleCare for extended coverage. Right now, this one is $200 off its regular list price but we don't know how long this deal will last.

Promising review: “I recently purchased the 2024 MacBook Air M3 (base model) and it has completely blown me away. For anyone wondering if the base model is enough, let me assure you - it absolutely is!

Here's what I love:

Powerhouse Performance: The M3 chip is incredibly powerful. I haven't experienced any lag, even with multiple demanding applications open. This thing chews through everyday tasks and even handles some light photo and video editing without breaking a sweat.
Featherlight Design: This laptop is unbelievably light. I can barely feel it in my bag, making it perfect for commuting or travel.
Battery Life for Days: The battery life is nothing short of phenomenal. I easily get a full day's work done on a single charge, and then some!
Stunning Display: The bezels are practically non-existent, giving you maximum screen real estate. And what a screen it is! The colors are vibrant, the text is sharp, and it's a joy to work on.
Incredible Value: You get so much for your money with this laptop. It's the perfect balance of performance, portability, and price.
Overall:

This MacBook Air is a triumph. Apple has knocked it out of the park with the M3 chip and refined design. If you're looking for a powerful, portable, and long-lasting laptop, look no further than the 2024 MacBook Air M3. You won't be disappointed!" — Matthew Sturdevant

If you need power, this Lenovo laptop has plenty. It's got 16 GB of RAM for quickly jumping between apps and browsers and 1 TB of internal storage in case you need to save large files, like videos or high-resolution photos. Also, like the name suggests, it's slim for easy carry. Normally over $1,000, Walmart has it on sale at 25% off.

If you're someone who likes the occasional gaming session or works with a ton of video, the ASUS ROG Strix G17 might be for you. It has a 17.3-inch full HD screen with a 144Hz display for fast refreshing, plus it's powered by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor for exceptional graphical power. Grab this Windows 11 laptop for 17% off at a surprisingly low price given that it was released this year.

Promising review: “The screen is beautiful and the keyboard is nice and....... solid. AS is the build in general. I'm extremely happy with this laptop. No camera but I can live with that. The lighting is a little too ....... involved imo, could be SOOO much simpler. Still, a very fine machine and I am definitely happy with it as will you I'm sure.” — Alan Jones
