This HP laptop stands out from all of the current offers at Best Buy as it's a solid mid-range device at a reasonable price. That's mainly thanks to the Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM, which are a good pairing for most everyday work tasks and general use. I'm a little disappointed with the 512GB of storage, but I guess it's enough for essential files and applications. Overall, this is still a good middle-of-the-road laptop, though I'd upgrade to the Dell below if you have the budget for it.

The MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) is the newest version of Apple's popular laptop and it's now back down to a record-low price at Amazon. You get a great-looking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, while the boost to 16GB of RAM keeps all your programs running smoothly. It's just a shame Apple still insists on only 256GB of storage as standard, which feels a little miserly in 2025. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best laptops you can buy if you need a performance powerhouse for productivity and creative tasks – especially after this $200 discount.

This is a good offer for a premium laptop for anyone looking for a productivity boost or a more portable laptop with fantastic performance – especially now you get a keyboard cover included for free.
