HP's entry-level devices may not be powerhouses, but they’re perfectly suited for everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming, and email. For something with a little more power, consider HP's excellent OmniBook 5 for $569 (was $1,079), a new model that strikes a great balance between price and performance. It’s equipped with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, making it a solid all-around choice for work, study, and light multitasking.

HP's 4th of July sale also has some impressive deals on Omen-series laptops. A combination of upfront discounts and the promo code LEVELUP20 unlocks some seriously excellent deals on these powerful machines, including this RTX 5070 Ti-equipped HP Omen Max 16 for $1123.99 (was $2379.99).
