Why we like it
This Dell laptop features an AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor from 2022, 8GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and a 15.6-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s nothing spectacular and a little outdated, but this is a spec sheet we rarely see at this price point: Most cheap, entry-level PCs under $300 have dinky Intel Pentium/Celeron CPUs, 4GB of RAM, pokier eMMC flash storage that maxes out at 128GB, and 60Hz refresh rates. (Hell, even some nicer laptops don’t have 120Hz refresh rates — included!) It’s marked down to $289.99, which is a 36% discount.

Why we like it
At 54% off, this is the biggest discount we’ve yet encountered on a laptop powered by a brand-new Intel Core Ultra processor. It’s not much to write home about otherwise: There’s 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 720p webcam, a 15.6-inch IPS display, and a backlit keyboard (with a numeric keypad). But if all you really care about is oomph, it should make your shortlist at this price.

Why we like it
The 13-inch version of Apple’s previous-gen MacBook Air won a Mashable Choice Award upon release in mid-2022, with tech and games reporter Alex Perry praising its peppy M2 processor, superb battery life, satisfying keyboard, and lightweight frame. A spurred by March’s release of its () predecessor has brought it down to a new starting price of $999, and a $150 discount at , , and scoots it even further into — as far as MacBooks are concerned, at least.

Best laptop deal under $1,200
Opens in a new window
Why we like it
Last year’s 15-inch M2 MacBook Air has a slightly larger (but just as pretty) Liquid Retina display and six speakers instead of four. Best of all, it still only weighs about three pounds. It’s technically been discontinued by Apple, meaning you can’t buy it in through the Apple Store anymore, but certain third-party retailers still have it in stock. For its part, has the 512GB model marked down to $1,199, or 20% off its $1,299 MSRP — an all-time low for this configuration.
