While the big day itself is still a few weeks away as of writing, this year's Memorial Day laptop sales have already started to trickle in. The official HP Store in particular has already started its event, and we're also starting to see promising early deals from the likes of Amazon.
If you're on the lookout for a new laptop this May, then you're in the right place. I've started rounding up the best Memorial Day laptop sales so far just below, and I'll be updating this page as I spot more highlights. While some discounts have already surfaced, leading retailers like Dell, Best Buy, and Walmart have yet to post their Memorial Day listings, so expect plenty more updates.
This week's best early Memorial Day laptop sales
Is Memorial Day a good time to buy a laptop?
Great laptop deals can be found all year round but they tend to be particularly good on federal holidays like Memorial Day or Labor Day.
Generally speaking, the discounts don't tend to be as good as on the more renowned online sales like Black Friday in November or Amazon Prime Day in mid-summer, but the deals are usually worth waiting for. Tech retailers often line up seasonal sales to coincide with federal holidays like Memorial Day so there are often plenty of competitive discounts to check out.
What stores will have Memorial Day laptop deals?
See above for a quick list of the main retailers for Memorial Day laptop sales online. This is just a small selection of the retailers that will offer deals, but generally speaking, these are the retailers most people will want to check out first if they're on the hunt for a new laptop this May.
Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy offer decent price cuts on all types of machines but the latter two are usually great for bagging a cheaper Chromebook or basic Windows laptop. Amazon offers good budget options but it's also typically a good place to pick up an Apple MacBook. HP and Dell are more specialist retailers focused on offering discounts on their own-brand machines but you'll find fantastic mid-range workhorse machines at these sites, as well as some of the best deals on ultrabooks and gaming laptops to boot.
