The best laptop deals right now.
Amazon/Best Buy/QVC/Design for PureWow

I hate to mention the T word (ahem, tariffs), but according to a report by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), they may cause laptop and tablet prices to jump by up to 45 percent this year. That said, it would definitely be a good idea to upgrade your computer before prices go up. Don't know where to start? No worries. I found five of the best laptop deals on the internet right now, so you can save big on your big upgrade. Whether you're an Apple MacBook fan or more of an HP person, these massive markdowns are *not* to be missed—especially when there are markups looming.

Want to get the most bang for your buck? Who am I kidding? Of course you do, so let me put you on to this Apple MacBook Air deal at QVC. With features like a 15.3-inch retina display, you can finally look forward to sharp, clear text and vibrant colors—a must for streamers and readers. It also has an 18-hour battery life and a Touch ID sensor, so you don't have to type in your password every time you log on. But that's not even the best part. The laptop's M2 chip, which essentially makes the computer run as smoothly and quietly as it does, is the main attraction and totally the reason why shoppers are flocking to buy this laptop as we speak. Well, that and all the accessories that come with it for less than $1,400, from a fitted clip case and business carrier to Bluetooth earbuds, a laptop stand, fabric mouse, USB-C adapter, and voucher for services. You can't go wrong.

Is your kid headed to college this year? If so, there's no question whether they'll need a laptop that can keep up with all their schoolwork (and play). That said, you should seriously consider scooping up this HP, which has a good battery life (11 hours and 45 minutes, to be exact) and a reliable Intel processor that can help them complete tasks, whether they're writing a paper for class or streaming their favorite shows. It also has a top-notch camera and dual-array mics, so they can confidently hop on video chats. But that's not even half of it. This 15.6 laptop is also a *touchscreen,* plus it comes with a one-year subscription to Microsoft 365, so they'll have access to all the programs they need for those straight As. Separately, this would all run you $1,385, but you can grab it now for as low as $400!

In terms of value, Chromebooks can't be beat. Exhibit A: This best-selling ASUS, a 16-inch touchscreen laptop that transforms into a tablet with a simple flip. Here's why one buyer thinks it's worth every penny: "I absolutely love this machine. I have nine Chromebooks, and this one is among my top three favorites...Super sharp screen, true-to-life color gamut and a backlit keyboard. Keys are super comfortable to type on." What else can you ask for (besides built-in cloud support and 8GB system memory)? I'll wait, but not for long, because this deal won't last forever.

A 15.6-inch HD anti-glare display is only one of many benefits you'll get with this Lenovo IdeaPad. Per the brand, you can also look forward to immersive viewing experiences *and* effortless switching between applications. But I'll let one buyer give you their honest opinion: "This is just a nice, straight-up computer. It runs well, has a good speed, and a decent amount of storage space. My mom has been using it for everyday use (social media, YouTube, browsing, etc.) for about a month now and has had no complaints at all...It's a good computer for a good price." I couldn't agree more, especially since it's currently on sale for under $380.

Aside from the powerful system and stunning design, you should add this 2025 Macbook Air to your cart because it's built for Apple Intelligence. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it has a system that will help even the most non-tech-savvy person get tasks done like a pro. Thanks to groundbreaking privacy protections, you can also safely browse without putting your data at risk. Most importantly, reviewers have nothing but good things to say about its updated M4 chip: "There is a significant difference between the M4 chip and earlier models," one reviewer explains. "I am very pleased with the overall quality, and it arrived before the scheduled delivery date." Need I say more? Secure your 2025 upgrade for a steal!
