Processor - AMD Ryzen 5
RAM - 8GB
Storage - 512GB
OS - Windows 11
If you'd prefer a cheap Windows laptop then Amazon has this Asus Vivobook Go 15 on sale for under $300. With an AMD Ryzen processor and 8GB of RAM, it offers an acceptable level of performance for everyday use, basic work tasks and video calls. What I'm most impressed by is the inclusion of a large 512GB SSD – an amount of storage we never see at this price point. On top of that, you get a decent resolution display, an average webcam for video calls and a decent battery life. A good value-for-money laptop deal all around.

My favorite laptop deal on the Dell site right now - this super-cheap Dell Inspiron 15. Sure, it's nothing fancy but this Inspiron is packed to the brim with absolutely superb specs for the price. $500 for a Core i7 chipset? That's a bargain - and this machine also comes with 16Gb of RAM and a 1TB SSD, meaning it's got plenty of power under the hood for even intensive applications.

It can handle most users' computing needs: work, browsing, video calls and even some creative tasks such as video and photo editing.

Best Buy has the latest MacBook Air M2 for its lowest-ever price this week.

This is the one to get if you need a premium powerhouse for creative apps such as photo editing, video editing, and more intense workloads. The M1 is still up to those jobs too, though, so you'll be fine with the cheaper option if your budget is smaller - but it's worth the upgrade if you can afford it.

A stunning deal on a stunning laptop, this particular sale on the latest Dell XPS 14 brings the machine down to its lowest-ever price. If you're on the hunt for a high-end Windows machine that looks as good as it runs - then this is it, folks. It doesn't carry one of the latest Snapdragon chipsets but the Ultra 7 and 16GB of RAM should see you with plenty of power for most tasks. As always, however, the main selling point for the XPS is its gorgeous design and extremely lightweight body.

Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design and speaker array, although we did think the jump in size hurt one of the MacBook Air's key selling points – its portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive laptop that was awarded a full five stars – and it's now available for a record-low price.

Display - 11 inches
Processor - Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c
RAM - 4GB
Storage - 64GB
OS - ChromeOS
We're big fans of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet at TechRadar so I definitely want to share this reduction on the flexible little laptop that drops it to its cheapest price ever by £10.

The configuration on sale has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage so it's slightly weak on those components but fine for very light and basic tasks.
