The Aspire Vero is Acer’s first laptop made from postconsumer recycled plastics, and it ships in packaging made from recycled materials that are also 100{fa54600cdce496f94cc1399742656d2709d9747721dfc890536efdd06456dfb9} recyclable. You might think an eco-friendly laptop might look cheap or boring, but neither is the case with the Aspire Vero. This is one good-looking green laptop, with a sturdy, textured chassis highlighted with tiny yellow flecks. Inside, it supplies a previous 11th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. The 15.6-inch display has full HD resolution. Bundled with a laptop sleeve, it’s discounted at Amazon right now and selling for a very reasonable $510 that will leave more green in your wallet.

Dell’s latest 14-inch convertible boasts a modern, all-metal design that blurs the line between the company’s premium XPS line and its mainstream Inspiron machines. With a modern 16:10 aspect ratio, the 14-inch display will feel roomier than a traditional 16:9 widescreen panel and sits right in the sweet spot between offering enough space for productivity while still being compact enough for portability. Inside, it supplies an efficient, 12th-gen Core i7 U-series CPU along with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. You can save $200 on it right now at Best Buy.

MSI
MSI’s version of the MacBook boasts a thin, sleek, all-aluminum enclosure. This model is $200 off at Best Buy and features a 12th-gen Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It also features Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics, which doesn’t turn the laptop into a gaming machine but provides a small performance boost for media editing over an integrated GPU you usually find at this price. The 14-inch display features a full HD resolution but has the older 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio rather than the taller 16:10 ratio that provides more room to work. Still, this is a thin, light and rugged laptop and a great deal at its current sale price.

Aside from the new M2 chip, the updated 13-inch MacBook Pro remains mostly unchanged from the previous iteration. It’s now the only laptop in the updated Apple lineup that has the generally disliked Touch Bar. It also lacks the new MagSafe charger and offers the same two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports for both charging and peripherals. Pricing remains the same as the previous series. The baseline model costs $1,299 and features 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. The step-up $1,499 model doubles the SSD to 512GB. You can save $200 at Best Buy right now on the baseline model.

Most 17-inch laptops are gaming monsters. The LG Gram 17 is neither a gaming laptop nor a monster. It lacks dedicated graphics to drive 3D games but is only 0.7-inch thick and weighs less than 3 pounds, making this 17.3-inch desktop replacement roughly the same weight as your typical 13.3-inch ultraportable. The spacious 2,560×1,600-pixel display is powered by an 11th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and integrated Intel Iris Plus graphics. You also get a roomy 1TB SSD for storage. The processor is a bit outdated at this point but should still be plenty powerful for mainstream use. You can save more than $700 on this LG Gram right now at Amazon.

You can save $400 at Best Buy on the previous version of the 14-inch MacBook Pro that’s based on the M1 Pro chip (8-core CPU, 14-core GPU), 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display has a 3,024×1,964-pixel resolution. You’ll get a bit better performance from the new M2 Pro machines, but this previous-gen model is still plenty powerful and a great buy at its current discount.

What should you look for in a laptop deal?
One of the biggest things to consider is which laptop configuration is on sale. Often, with the best laptop deals, only a specific version of the laptop is on sale and making any changes to it could affect the price. This means that sometimes you find the 512GB model is actually cheaper than the 256GB option, or a similar situation.
When are the best laptop deals available?
Generally, you’ll find the best laptop deals during back-to-school shopping time in late summer or early fall and a bit later in the year during annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales events. There are laptop deals available throughout the year, but if you’re looking for the best deal and can afford to wait a little, these are the best times of the year to buy one.
Which retailers usually offer the best laptop deals?
You can usually find deals across a variety of retailers when it comes to laptop sales. Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg and other retailers tend to offer sales on more specific models while manufacturers like HP, Lenovo and Dell usually host larger sales that cover more models and configurations. If you’re looking for a specific model, you’ll want to keep checking back weekly for the latest set of deals.
