This is the 2023 MacBook Air everyone knows and loves, but it comes with THREE years of AppleCare+. Two years normally goes for $199, so you're getting a lot of added value for a song.

Yeah, it's a tablet — but it packs more power into this thin frame than most laptops do. On top of that, you can attach a keyboard and get all the power you could ask for. With an average of 16 hours of battery life, 1TB of storage space, a whopping 32GB of RAM, and a 4.8GHz processor, this creator-focused machine is powerful enough to handle anything you throw at it.

This ultra-thin, ultra-light laptop is ideal for someone who needs easy access to the web on the go. What it lacks in power it more than makes up for in convenience, and it still comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, as well as a one-year subscription to Office 365 — a $100 value on its own. While this isn't quite the lowest price on record, it's close to it. Seriously, where else will you find a laptop for $150?

SGIN

The always-popular Sgin is a budget-focused brand that brings a lot of savings to the table, especially when you consider that this guy is nearly 80% off. That's a fantastic deal worth having another can of cranberry sauce over, especially when you consider that it also comes with 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD. It might not be the best choice for gaming, but it's great for everyday use and low-level productivity.

Jumper

That's right: a surprisingly powerful computer for less than $300. It comes with 12GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a memory expandable by another 256GB via a TF Card slot. It's only 3.5 pounds and delivers roughly 10 hours of battery life. The biggest draw? It's over 75% of.

A Chromebook with a bit more power than the norm, the Acer Chromebook 514 comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 15 hours of battery life on a single charge.

This lightweight laptop isn't built for gaming, but it's fantastic for daily use and browsing the web. The 256GB of storage gives you more than enough space to store videos and photos, while the 8GB of RAM will keep things running smoothly.

If you're in the market for something with a bit more juice to it than a Chromebook, here's a fantastic option. With 11 hours of battery life, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, the Aspire is built with work in mind. It's also the lowest price we've seen for this particular model. The fact that it includes a carrying case is just the cherry on top.

Lenovo

The 3i is one of 2022's most popular laptop choices, and for good reason: it comes with more than enough power to handle everyday tasks, all the while giving users a lightweight, portable machine to take with them on the go.

Simply put, a $300 markdown makes this a no-brainer. You'll get a 10-core processor with a 4.7GHz processor, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. It's a powerful, productivity-designed unit that can also handle light gaming.
