This year’s Presidents’ Day laptop sales and deals are just around the corner now, just a week away, in fact, although those looking to bag a bargain early will be pleased to know we’re already seeing great prices on a myriad of machines.
Alongside the annual Presidents’ Day TV sales, laptops tend to be among the most hotly contested areas for discounts on electronics in general. We’ve put together this handy guide for our readers so they don’t miss a single laptop deal – be that on a machine for casual use, work, or even gaming. Best Buy, Dell, Amazon, and Lenovo are already dropping some great discounts on cheap laptops right now, and you can see our recommendations just below.
So far, highlights include a slew of excellent cheap Lenovo laptops that are absolutely perfect for casual use – such as this $60 off Chromebook at Best Buy for just $269. In the mid-price points, we’re also seeing some good options from HP and Dell in particular, such as this HP 15 for $479.99 (was $669.99), or this incredible Intel i7-equipped Dell Inspiron 14 for $629.99 ($799.99).
If you’re looking to spend more, you’ll also be glad to see today’s latest prices on ultrabooks are also looking exceptional. Highlights include the M1 Apple MacBook Air returning to its lowest price ever at Amazon – just $949 (down from $999). Windows users will also be well-served by this Dell XPS 13 on sale for just $849 – a stunning $300 price cut on a machine with not just a 512GB SSD, but a Core i7 processor too.
Of course, that’s just a tiny selection of what’s available in these early Presidents’ Day laptop sales and deals. Just down below, you’ll find plenty more fine options.
