Shopping for a new computer can be a fun yet stressful process. With so many different kinds of laptops on the market, it’s hard to always ensure that you’re getting the best price. For that reason, we’ve rounded up a few of the best deals on laptops available now ranging from Chromebooks to Ideapads!
Unless you need special features for your work or hobbies, you can usually find a great new quality laptop for under $400. Clark is also a big fan of Chromebooks, which you can find for under $200. Chromebooks have all the main features of any other laptop including internet access, word processing and more. But, it’s probably best to get one with at least 4GB of RAM to keep up with today’s web applications. Clark often finds great deals on laptops at stores like Micro Center, but he looks everywhere to comparison shop.
Meanwhile, if you need a higher-end computer for gaming or work, we’ve added a new section to our list with great deals under $1,000! These laptops are good if you need to run multiple applications and pages at a time for work, school or gaming.
Laptops usually last from 3 to 5 years, which is a good chunk of time spent on the same laptop if you use it almost every day, so it can be worth it to spend a little extra for one if you need it to run at a high capacity! For gaming and heavy multi-application workloads, it’s good to find an i5 or higher.
If storage size is preventing you from getting a great price on a laptop; keep in mind that you can usually find good deals on external hard drives at places like Best Buy. Remember to use a tool like Google Shopping to make sure you’re getting the very best deal!
