Best Laptop Deals for June 2023

Has it been awhile since your last laptop upgrade? Advances in screen resolution, memory capacity, processor power, and battery capability abound—as do deals on top models.

If you’re currently locked to the nearest outlet because your old battery no longer holds a charge, many models on the market (especially lightweight Chromebooks) can last a full day or more on a single charge. If your old machine still has an old-school spinning HDD, you’ll love how snappy and safe an upgrade to a solid-state drive will be. And if you’re in a lot of video conferences, pick a machine with a 1080p webcam, so you look as good (if not better) than everyone else who’s still stuck with a 720p lens.

Are all your old peripherals still USB-A corded? If so, note that most machines have moved up to mostly USB-C ports, so you might want to add a USB hub to your order.

Apple aficionados have a ton of choices, from multiple MacBook Air notebooks powered by M1 and M2 chips up to a variety of MacBook Pros. If you’re living life outside Apple’s gated walls, there’s no shortage of powerful Windows PCs from the likes of Acer, Lenovo, Dell, HP, and more—many of which can match Apple’s performance without the price tag.
