The Best Laptop Deals for May 2023

Has it been a while since your last laptop upgrade? Advances in screen resolution, memory capacity, processor power, and battery capability abound. For example, if you’re currently locked to the nearest outlet because your old battery no longer holds a charge, many models on the market (especially lightweight Chromebooks) can last a full day or more on a single charge.

Apple aficionados have a ton of choices, from multiple MacBook Air notebooks powered by M1 and M2 chips up to a variety of MacBook Pros. If you’re living life outside Apple’s gated walls, there's no shortage of powerful Windows PCs from the likes of Acer, Lenovo, Dell, HP, and more—many of which can match Apple’s performance without the price tag.

If your old machine still has an old-school spinning HDD, you’ll love how snappy and safe an upgrade to a solid-state drive will be. And if you’re in a lot of video conferences, pick a machine with a 1080p webcam, so you look as good (if not better) than everyone else who's still stuck with a 720p lens. Are all your old peripherals still USB-A corded? If so, note that most machines have moved up to mostly USB-C ports, so you might want to add a USB hub to your order.

The Best Traditional Laptop Deals

Our current traditional laptop deal picks include the Inspiron 15 3511 with an Intel i3 processor, 256GB SSD, and 8GB RAM for budget shoppers looking for a casual-use configuration; the Acer Aspire with an Intel i7 processor and 512GB SSD/12GB RAM for those who need more power; and the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip for remote-work and mobile-business use.

Best 2-in-1 or Touch Laptop Deals

If you need a budget 2-in-1 laptop, the Dell Inspiron 14 with a Ryzen 5 processor and 512GB SSD/8GB RAM will make a capable daily-use laptop. Our midrange deal pick is the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2, which is a suitable WFH laptop thanks to the Ryzen 5 Pro processor. The premium deal pick is the Lenovo Yoga 9i with an Intel Core i7 processor, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, and a 4K OLED display.

Best Gaming Laptop Deals

Our current pick for a midrange gaming PC deal is the 14-inch Asus ROG Zephyrus with a 144Hz refresh rate. The RTX 3060 graphics card will run modern titles at their highest settings and the Ryzen 7 processor is quick and powerful. It costs $100 less than the last time we added it to our list, making it an even better value for the specs. If you need more power, our premium pick is the Alienware m17 R5 with an Ryzen 9 processor and powerful RX 6850M XT graphics card, which will run modern titles in ultra settings without issue and handle content creation as well. Budget gamers should take a look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with a Ryzen 5 processor and RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, which will be capable of running most modern-day games in medium to high settings.
