Even though it's a quiet time of the year when it comes to sales events,
there are actually a decent number of laptop deals available right now. As someone who searches regularly to keep TechRadar's guides up-to-date, even
I'm a little surprised by what's on offer at the minute. But it's good news
if you're shopping for a device, so here are the 6 best laptop deals I'd recommend for multiple needs and budgets.

I'm starting with this Dell 15 Laptop at Dell for $329.99 (was $499.99),
which I think is the best value entry-level option for light use and regular daily tasks. It has all the essentials you need at an affordable price, including an AMD Ryzen 3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a respectable 512GB SSD for storage. For a more powerful option, I really like this Asus Vivobook 14 at Best Buy for $449.99 (was $749.99). This slim and modern machine boasts
one of the latest Snapdragon X processors that offer terrific performance and efficiency, and battery life of up to 29 hours. I also want to shout out the MacBook Air 13-inch (M5) at Amazon for $949 (was $1,099). This is the biggest discount yet on Apple 's brand-new laptop, which we scored an impressive 4.5 stars in our review, calling it an excellent iteration on its already well-loved predecessor. Check out all my top picks in detail below, including a basic Chromebook if you want a much cheaper option, as well as other good-value devices from the current spring sale at Dell .

This super-cheap Acer Chromebook is a very basic device that's best suited to light use and schoolwork, but it's a bargain at this low price from Walmart. The lean ChromeOS operating system gets more from low-end components, but it relies on you using more web-based applications such as Google Docs. And
while it will struggle with anything beyond basic tasks, this also ensures exceptional all-day battery life, making it a strong portable option at a
very affordable price. Read more Read less View Deal Dell 15 Laptop: was $499.99 now $329.99 at Dell Display - 15.6 inches Processor - AMD Ryzen 3 RAM - 8GB Storage - 512GB
