All tech suffers from an inevitably rapid built-in obsolescence, laptops probably the worst of them all (lasting roughly a single presidential term). Macbooks will likely get you further than that (congruous with the price tag), but not everyone’s Apple-inclined, or frankly, Apple-cash solvent.
Today's Top Deals
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event, though, offers a few solid discounts for anyone who can’t hold out until Black Friday for a variety of price points.
Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (2022)
Buy Now On Amazon
For the anti-Apple crowd, the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is a fantastic foil to the latest iPad Pro, with the novelty of its easy conversion from tablet to laptop. It’s a 2-in1 that’s especially strong here, boasting the bonafides of generally good hardware: one terabyte of storage and 32 GB of RAM on deck. Users praise the sparkling display, keyboard quality, and (relatively) compact size. It’s usually much pricier at about $2,600, but a considerable $800 off for the newly-inducted Prime Day.
HP 15.6 inch Laptop, FHD Display, 12th Gen Intel Core i5
Buy Now On Amazon
HP has always been a reliable, affordable, stalwart of a computer brand, and makes good options for anyone who’s not in Hacker Mode for 18 hours a day. The storage and RAM are solid, the display is good, and it works fairly fast.
Acer Aspire 3
Buy Now On Amazon
You got Acer or Asus if you really don’t spend a lot of time at your computer — it’s the backup computer brand, the super cheap one. And you know what? It does what it advertises extremely well. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better computer for $430, and this one is just under $350 for Prime Big Deal Days. Surprisingly large storage and respectable display make this a great value purchase.
Acer Chromebook Spin 513 Convertible Laptop
Buy Now On Amazon
Same goes for a Chromebook — especially a sub-$200 one, which this Acer model is this week. And it’s a good deal – especially if you’re buying something for your parents to exclusively stream The Good Doctor on. And this one’s basically all the fun of a Surface with none of the fancy tech under the hood, converting to a tablet with the flick of a wrist.
Acer Nitro 17 Gaming Laptop
Buy Now On Amazon
Serious gamers a) use PCs, and invest in a terabyte of storage, which this acer model checks both boxes for. Gamers say it’s an excellent value for the build quality and visuals, even if it’s not super-portable. (Not that anyone’s playing Elden Ring on an Amtrak.)
