To get the best bang for your buck, you should check out this HP Pavilion 15t that's down to $649.99 (was $979.99). It comes with an impressive selection of high-end components including a speedy Intel i7 processor, 16GB of performance-boosting RAM, and a large 512GB SSD. As an all-around device that can handle demanding work as well as all your general computing needs you won't find better value in the current sale.

If it's a cheaper and more basic device you need for light use or less intensive school work, then consider one of the Chromebooks in the sale. These devices are less powerful but still offer good value for money if your needs are much lighter and boast excellent battery life. For example, take this HP Chromebook 14a that's now $249.99 (was $369) - it's an ideal budget pick exactly for those reasons.
