The best laptop deals for August 2023: Apple, ASUS, Lenovo, and more
UPDATE: Aug. 12, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with the latest and greatest laptop deals.
The only thing better than a great laptop is a great laptop that fits your budget — and the back-to-school season from late July to mid-August is a fantastic time to find one on sale. From the latest Apple MacBooks to cheap Chromebooks for homework, versatile 2-in-1s for streaming or drawing, and premium gaming machines with a ton of horsepower, we're compiling a running list of the best laptop deals across major retailers right here every week. Read on for our top picks as of Aug. 12 (categorized by price, then listed in alphabetical order).
Best laptop deals under $300
Why we like it
This 14-inch ASUS laptop has a sleek NanoEdge display, a backlit keyboard, an AMD Ryzen 3 processor with 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. It's not a super impressive spec sheet, but it's very solid within the context of its current sale price of $299 and worthwhile for everyday multitasking. (Most cheap, entry-level PCs under $300 have pokey Intel Core N Series CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and sluggish eMMC flash storage that caps out at 128GB.)

Best laptop deals under $600
Why we like it
"If you're looking for a full-size, low-priced budget laptop, you could do a lot worse than Lenovo's 15.6-inch IdeaPad 3i," write the experts at PCMag, who gave it an "Excellent" 4/5 rating. (Full disclosure: PCMag is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis.) The configuration with an 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a meaty 512GB of storage typically retails for $629.99, but we just found it on sale for $399.99 at Best Buy and on the Lenovo website. That's $20 cheaper than its Memorial Day deal and a $30 price drop since last week.

Best laptop deals under $900
Why we like it
This is the 13-inch MacBook Air with an M1 chip, a sleek fanless design, and an 18-hour battery life, which nabbed a Mashable's Choice Award upon release in late 2020. The 256GB base configuration's current price of $749.99 (available at Amazon and Best Buy) is a lingering Prime Day discount and the cheapest it's ever been. You won't find a better MacBook deal anywhere unless you buy a used or refurbished model.

Laptop deals under $1,200
Why we like it
The M2-powered Apple MacBook Air from late 2022 offers a "[rock]-solid battery life, a larger 13.6-inch display than previous models, a keyboard that’s to die for, and enough horsepower to handle everyday tasks with ease," writes tech and games reporter Alex Perry. (It's our favorite MacBook on the market and also a Mashable's Choice Award-winner, for the record.) Best Buy's current $949 deal for the 256GB base configuration is a match of a record-low on Amazon that's made it sold out there since late July.

Why we like it
Deemed "the best big-screen ultraportable laptop" by PCMag (which gave it a 4/5 and a coveted Editor's Choice Award), this surprisingly lightweight 17-incher features a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor with 16GB of RAM, 1GB of SSD storage, a Full HD webcam, and over 20 hours of battery life. It's marked down to $1,399.99 on the LG website — it normally retails for $1,799.99 — but Best Buy will give it to you for $1,099.99 and throw a free one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.
