If you just want a cheap and capable option, then I'd go for this Asus CX14 Chromebook for $279 (was $429). You get an entry-level Intel Core 3 processor and a welcome jump to 8GB of RAM, which will help maintain good levels of performance for basic everyday use and light work. Just don't expect it to keep up with demanding jobs and multitasking.

If you're one of those who has dozens of browser tabs open at once and needs
a laptop with more juice, then I'd suggest this Dell Inspiron 15 for $449.99 (was $799.99). It's an older device, but it's still an excellent price for a powerful everyday machine that packs in an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. Expect solid all-around performance at a very affordable price.

I've picked out several more of the best laptop deals from Best Buy below, including some even cheaper Chromebooks and a big trade-in deal on the new MacBook 14-inch (M5). Be sure to check out the latest Best Buy coupon codes

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Intel Celeron
RAM - 4G
B Storage - 64GB

This Lenovo Chromebook is a very basic device, but it's ridiculously cheap, making it a good buy for general web browsing, admin tasks and schoolwork. It won't offer great performance and will struggle with anything beyond light use, but the lean ChromeOS gets more from the entry-level components and ensures a lengthy full-day battery life.

If you'd prefer a Windows machine that's a similar spec to the Chromebook below, then this HP Laptop 15 is down to $239.99 at Best Buy. It has a fairly low-end spec, but you still get 8GB of RAM and an entry-level Intel i3 processor, which can cover the basics without a dramatic performance dip.
This is one to buy if you want a Windows laptop for general everyday use,
word processing, streaming shows, web browsing, video calls, or answering emails. View Deal

Processor - Intel Core 3
RAM - 8G
B Storage - 128GB

Here's a fairly basic and well-priced Chromebook that comes with a welcome bump up to 8GB of RAM to help boost performance. It's still best-suited to general use because of the entry-level processor and limited storage space, but it's up to the job of web browsing, light work, writing documents, and streaming media. Plus, you get the superior battery life of up to 10 hours with this Chromebook, compared to similarly priced Windows machines. View

One of the best cheap laptops in Best Buy's current batch of offers is this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a reasonable 256GB SSD. These all work together to ensure good overall performance and enough essential speedy storage for the price. It's an older machine, but I still recommend it now if you're on a budget and need a laptop for general everyday use, admin tasks, light work, or schoolwork. View Deal

Display - 15.6 inches
Processor - AMD Ryzen 7
RAM - 16G
B Storage - 1TB

Best Buy's latest set of laptop deals features this older but still good
value all-around pick. With an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a
large 1TB SSD, it's a smart buy if you have a reasonable budget and need a device to handle your day-to-day computing jobs and light work comfortably. Expect solid performance, good multitasking capabilities, and speedy load times, but be aware of the bulky size and mediocre battery life that hamper its portability. Altogether, though, this is an impressive laptop for the price. View Deal

Display - 15.3 inches
Processor - Snapdragon X
RAM - 16G
B Storage - 256GB

This is a great price for a relatively modern laptop that comes with a well-performing and efficient Snapdragon CPU. On top of that, you also get 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD for storage, and an impressive battery life, which represents good value for money overall. I like it as a light, portable and capable all-around everyday machine. View Deal

This powerful and versatile HP OmniBook X Flip offers impressive performance for the price, with powerful components such as a modern and efficient Snapdragon X Plus processor for incredible battery life, a massive 16GB of
RAM to boost performance, and a decent 512GB SSD for storage. You can comfortably handle everyday tasks, demanding work, video calls, media streaming and more with this laptop, all with the option to flip it around to a 14-inch touchscreen tablet when the need arises, too. View Deal

The brand-new Microsoft Surface Laptop shot straight to the top of our best laptop guide and received a glowing five stars in our Microsoft Surface
Laptop review , so I'm obviously going to call out this big discount at Best Buy. This particular specification includes a powerful Snapdragon X Plus processor, a healthy 16GB of RAM and a decent 512GB SSD. The levels of performance from the CPU, AI capabilities and 20 hours of battery life are top-tier to go alongside the swish-looking display and keyboard. View Deal

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5): from $799 with a trade-in
Apple just announced a new version of the premium MacBook Pro, and if you
have an older device to trade in, you can pick up one of the latest laptops from as little as $799. While the upgrades with the M5 chip are minimal if
you already have an M-powered MacBook Pro and the design remains identical to many previous devices, this is the best way to get a big saving on the new laptop if you want the latest tech. View Deal
