If you have the room and want more power for the price, don’t miss our list of the best desktop computer deals. Beyond PCs, our expert deal curators have also put together the ultimate list of top deals for Black Friday across scores of technology categories.
Apple MacBook Air M1 13″ Laptop
The 2020 13-inch MacBook Air is built on Apple’s own M1 CPU, 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of solid-state storage. With nearly 30 (!) hours of battery life, we rated this iteration of the Apple MacBook Air 4.5 stars, and gave it our Editors’ Choice award, calling it “the best value among macOS laptops” at its retail price of $999. At its current sale price, it’s an absolute steal.
Dell G15 Intel i5 RTX 3050 Ti 120Hz Gaming Laptop
The G15 offers some decent specs for the price. With this configuration you get a 12th generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, an RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, and a 512GB SSD, which means you’ll be able to run high-fidelity titles at ultra settings. The 15.6-inch screen has a 1,920-by-1,080 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate to eliminate tearing and lag.

Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 RTX 3060 144Hz Gaming Laptop
With its AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, this beefy Acer Nitro 5 should impress both gamers and content creators. The 15.6-inch FHD IPS display packs a 144Hz refresh rate and the machine has four exhaust ports and packs Acer’s CoolBoost technology to keep things from overheating even when you’re pushing it to the limit.
HP Victus Intel i7 RTX 3050 Ti 144Hz Gaming Laptop
The HP Victus’ 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and 512GB SSD is a master multitasker whether you’re gaming, streaming music, watching video—or all of the above. The RTX 3050 Ti graphics card with ray tracing and DLSS can handle most AAA games at their highest settings.
What’s the best low-priced laptop?
PCMag’s current top-rated budget laptop is the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14, which offers excellent performance and a bevy of modern trappings that almost make you forget it rings up at less than $600.
Which is the best site for buying a laptop?
The usual suspects when it comes to buying a laptop are Amazon and Best Buy, but you can often snag a deal at Newegg and Walmart, too, or direct from PC makers like Dell and HP. They all want your money, so they’ll often price-match each other if a rival is having a sale. Use a price-comparison app to compare prices, and read PCMag’s reviews to make sure you’re really getting a deal.
What is the most reliable laptop to buy?
The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is our current favorite among general-use Windows laptops. This laptop merges high-quality hardware and design with a surprisingly low starting price, bringing very capable computing power to more people than most flagship models. For those set on Apple, you can save some money and still get a powerful, long-lasting laptop by picking up the M1-based 2020 MacBook Air—otherwise, the pricier 2022 model is also a safe choice.
Which laptop is best in 2022?
Laptops come in many flavors. Do you need a gaming PC? A portable, convertible 2-in-1? Maybe you’re a macOS fan. We have top-rated laptops in each category, but our top-rated overall laptops include the HP Pavilion Plus 14 and Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 mentioned earlier, as well as the 2022, M2-based Apple MacBook Air.
