Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M3) for $899 at Best Buy ($200 off MSRP): The latest MacBook Air is our pick best laptop you can buy. It ticks almost all the boxes for those who prefer macOS, from its premium design and comfortable keyboard to its long battery life and capable performance for everyday use. We gave him one score of 90 in our review. A recent Bloomberg report said Apple will likely release a minor update early next year, but that’s a decent price for the current base model, which includes Apple’s M3 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Amazon it had it available for about $850 during Black Friday, but that’s its lowest price otherwise. If you want more storage, the 512 GB variant it’s also $50 off its all-time low of $1,099.

Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M3) for $1,234 at Amazon ($265 off): The 15-inch MacBook Air is more or less identical to the 13-inch version in terms of features and performance, but has a larger screen and better speakers.

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M2) for $799 at Amazon ($200 off): If you’re on a tighter budget, the latest generation MacBook Air is for you most things we love the new M3 model at a lower price. The main sacrifices are a slightly smaller chip, technically slower storage in the base model and no possibility to connect to two external monitors. This deal is for the entry-level variant, which packs an M2 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Again, that’s $50 more than the all-time low we saw during Black Friday, but still $200 less than buying directly from Apple. Also in Best Buy.

Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, M4 Pro) for $1,749 at Amazon ($250 off): The newly updated MacBook Pro is more portable than most people need, but it’s still a powerhouse for programmers, media editors, and those with more demanding needs. we gave it a 92 in our review earlier this month. Note that there’s no USB-A port, and as with all Apple laptops, there’s effectively no way to upgrade the device after purchase. This is the biggest discount yet for the configuration with Apple’s M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. A version with 1 TB of storage it is also $50 above its all-time low of $2,149. Also in B&H.

Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Pro) for $2,249 at Amazon ($250 off): The 16-inch MacBook Pro adds a roomier display and a couple of extra hours of battery life to the same excellent performance, build quality and mini-LED display of its smaller counterpart. The downside is that it’s heavier at 4.7 pounds. This configuration includes an M4 Pro chip, 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. As with the other MacBook deals above, it was $50 cheaper on Black Friday, but this deal is still $250 off its regular rate. Also in B&H.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 (13.8-inch) for $899 at Amazon ($300 off): We’ve given away the latest Surface Laptop to review score of 88 earlier this year, and we currently recommend it as a great mainstream ultraportable in our laptop buying guide. The caveat is that it runs on an ARM processor, which works well, but may not work with every app or peripheral you use. If you can live with that, though, the bright 120Hz screen, luxe aluminum design and long battery life impress. This configuration includes a Snapdragon X Plus chip, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It was technically available for $800 a Micro Center last week, but with store pickup only. Otherwise, it matches the best price we’ve seen. If you prefer a larger screen, a 15 inch version with a faster Snapdragon X Elite chip and a 256GB SSD it drops to as low as $1,053. Also in Best Buy.

HP Pavilion Aero 13 for $600 at HP ($300 off): The HP Pavilion Aero is the budget option in our laptop buying guide. It feels a little cheap and its webcam is poor, but it’s thin and light, has a decent selection of ports and its IPS display is solid for the money. This setup with a Ryzen 5 8640U chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD should be fast enough for typical web browsing, word processing, and light photo editing. That’s $20 off the best price we’ve been able to find for the 2024 model since launch.
-
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 12) for $1,099 at Lenovo ($500 off): The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an honorable mention in our laptop buying guide and won a score of 87 in our review earlier this year. Its performance wasn’t quite top-notch in benchmark tests, but it was still fast enough to handle the kind of web browsing, media editing, and even light gaming that most people do with a notebook. The design is reasonably thin (0.6 inches), light (2.4 pounds), and very durable, with a good variety of ports (HDMI 2.1 included) and the kind of flexible, responsive keyboard we like from the ThinkPad line. The matte display also pretty much eliminates glare, though the 1080p webcam is fine and the side power button is a bit awkward to press. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the configuration with the Intel Core Ultra 5 135U chip, 16GB of RAM (non-upgradable), a 512GB SSD, and a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 display.

Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus for $349 at Best Buy ($150 off): The Flex 5i Chromebook Plus tops our guide to the best Chromebooks. We like that its IPS touchscreen has a tall 16:10 aspect ratio, as it makes the device better suited for word processing and web reading. It works perfectly for the basic tasks you need to do with Chrome OS, and both its keyboard and trackpad feel reliable. However, its battery life is mediocre, and at 3.6 pounds, it’s quite heavy for a 14-inch laptop. That ties the lowest price we’ve seen for the configuration with an Intel Core i3-1315U chip, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of eMMC storage.
-
Alienware M18 R2 Gaming Laptop for $2,300 at Dell ($500 off): The M18 R2 is an iteration of our top 18-inch pick Gaming laptop buying guide. It’s an absolute tank, but it’s well built, and this setup can run through new games at high settings at 1080p or 1440p. It comes with a 165Hz 2560×1600 panel, an Intel Core i9-14900HX chip, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. This deal is $100 more than the price we see Black Friday, though it’s still a good way off the laptop’s regular price. A lower spec model is on sale for a new low of $1,700, though this one will struggle sooner with more demanding games.
-
ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop (2024) for $1,615 at Amazon ($285 off): While not a top pick in any of our guides, this configuration of the ROG Strix G16 should be a solid value for those looking for a 16-inch all-terrain gaming laptop. It includes an Intel Core i9-14900X chip, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, which should be enough to run many games at high settings without much trouble. The overall build doesn’t feel cheap, and the 2,560 x 1,600 240Hz display is sharp and snappy. RAM and storage are also user upgradeable, though battery life and the 720p webcam aren’t ideal. This agreement coincides with a historic low. Another model with a 1080p panel, a Core i7-13650HX chip, and an RTX 4060 GPU is on sale for a low price of $1,100, but you’ll need to lower your game settings more often to get decent frame rates with it.

Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) for $849 at Amazon ($100 off, $50 coupon): The iPad Pro is still excessively for most people, but its class-leading OLED display, remarkably thin frame and powerful M4 chip make it a tremendous tablet. this can it works as a laptop replacement for certain creative types, but you’ll have to live with iPadOS’s continued shortcomings in multitasking, file management, and other computing tasks. If you’re thinking about making the switch, or if you just have cash to burn and want a more portable companion to your current laptop, this matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the latest 11-inch model. Just clip the $50 coupon on the page. If you’re willing to pay for a bigger screen, the 13-inch iPad Pro it’s also on sale for a minimum price of $1,099.
