Shopping for a good laptop can be hard – there's just so much to consider when making a decision, and all that jargon to wade through. But if you already know what you're looking for, or at least know what specs you're after in your new laptop, it all boils down to price.

And one of the best ways to buy a powerful laptop for less is to wait for a sale to come along.

Right now, HP is hosting a mega sale on its laptops, with up to $1,000 off on selected models. You can save big on the popular HP Spectre range, the Pavilion line-up, and an Omen gaming laptop, with many more notebooks discounted as well.

There's a wide variety to choose from, so we've handpicked a few of the best laptops with the biggest discounts and listed them right here to make it easier for you to choose. Keep in mind, though, that these offers end March 20, or until stocks last.
