MacBook Air (M4, 2025)

Yes, the MacBook Air M4 (9/10, wired recommendation) is the top pick in our best laptops and best MacBook guides. But this is also the laptop I found myself recommending to friends and family. No other laptop under $1,000 combines this super fast performance with a balance of battery life for a day, all in the thinnest chassis in the game. It even comes with 16 GB of RAM, although you might want to jump to 512 GB of storage. Even if there are a lot of Apple charges that increase storage fees, it’s worth it given the current cheap price.

Surface Laptop Copilot+ PC (7th Edition, 2024)

When I first reviewed the Surface Laptop 13.8-inch (also known as Surface Taptop Edition 7) (7/10, wired recommendation), it immediately became my everyday driver. My favorite laptop feature is the monitor. It’s sharp and fast (with a 120 Hz refresh rate), but it’s actually a 3:2 aspect ratio display that really makes it unique. It’s a taller screen and I like being able to see more works vertically. Not only that, in the latest version, it finally gets great performance and battery life thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Pro (even better, elite) chip. There is also an updated, more affordable model (confusingly called the Surface Laptop 13), but I don’t like much of my favorite features for the 13.8-inch model. For its value, you can also buy the basic configuration for $870.

It’s been a slow year for Prime Day gaming laptop deals. No matter what the reason, there aren’t many discounts this year. However, the ROG Strix G16 is an exception. A variety of configurations are sold, including cheap models using the RTX 4060 or 4070. Their price is very attractive, especially since the RTX 50 series GPUs don’t offer a serious boost anyway. But perhaps the most eye-catching option is the newer model of the RTX 5070 TI, which comes with more VRAM and costs $2,000. Just as cheap as the RTX 5070 TI laptop I’ve seen.

A wise Chromebook Plus

If you are going to Prime Day and looking for cheap dirt, then I can serve you. Yes, this device is a Chromebook, but as a “Chromebook Plus” model, it’s a big step compared to the reputation these laptops have gained when they were introduced to them in school. The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 comes with a 1080p display, a spacious 15.6-inch display and an Intel Core i3 processor. The screen is not a touch screen, but the port selection is good and the speakers are good. As far as the price is concerned, this is a very powerful machine if your demand is not high.

Chromebook Duet Gen 9 (11 inches, MediaTek)

Want a small laptop, can you bring anywhere? If you can work within the scope of your Chromebook, Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet is essential and steal at this price. The 11-inch LCD is compact, and the trackpad and keyboard can be cramped, but the overall build quality is great, the display is lively, and the performance is lively.

About the Dell 14 Plus (6/10, wired review), such as overload of ports, solid build quality, decent IPS screen and excellent battery life, there are plenty to like. When I reviewed, my main criticism was the price. It’s too expensive and has a storage option starting with 1 TB, lacking low-level configuration. But Golden Day sales certainly make it more ideal, and it turns out to be cheaper. The absolute stack configuration starts this week, including 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Now, down to $850. One thing I can tell you: If you have a MacBook Air or Surface laptop as well, you’ll pay more.

The cheapest laptop you should buy

Don’t buy a Windows laptop for under $300. It’s just sadness. If you need an ultra-cheap laptop, a Chromebook is a must. Acer’s Chromebook CX15 is your best laptop for $300. Grab the version with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory. The 1080p, 15-inch screen doesn’t have excellent color accuracy, but the 300 columns of brightness are pretty good. Similarly, Intel Celeron CPUs are not speed demons, but can browse the network and light documents to work.

Surface Pro 13-inch (Edition 11, 2024)

Surface Pro 11 Edition offers good balances for tween laptops and tablets. As a 2-in-1 laptop, it finally reaches its potential. Unlike previous models, this model has excellent performance and battery life that matches its excellent design and build quality. A true iPad Pro alternative for Windows users. With the latest Surface Pro keyboard, you can now even work while disconnecting from your device, making it your ultimate travel companion.

Fashionable stalls

If you have to sit on your desk every day, it’s beautiful. Branch is already known for this brand – it makes our favorite office chair – but this laptop stand does look really nice. The combination of walnut-colored wood and clean, simple aesthetics is enough to add interest to what was originally a pretty basic perimeter. There are no better laptops out there.

Additional ports

ANKER 5-in-1 USB-C HUB

Sometimes it’s better when it comes to gadgets. That’s why this Anker USB-C center makes a lot of sense. Especially in a world where most laptops have limited ports, almost everyone needs something. Many USB hubs offer a wider range of ports and even provide external monitor support, but this Anker USB-C Hub is too convenient and inexpensive to own.

Oh, you know. It is That mouse. Everyone is a party. In Prime Day, it has a minimum price of $95 and its retail price is down 21%. If you’re wondering, that’s really great. If you’ve never used basic stuff like Apple Magic Mouse, you’ll be able to appreciate not only the Clicky buttons and Grippy Scroll Wheels, but also the added ergonomics. Trust me, your thumb and writing will thank you later.

The Logitech G Pro X TKL is the best keyboard you can buy, and there is good reason. The haptic switch (also known as linear switch) feels sweet and I find the TKL (missing digital pad) layout is ideal for gaming and never gets in the way of my mouse hand, but doesn’t make non-game inconvenience. While usually a bit expensive, this selling price is absolutely essential if you are looking for a gaming keyboard.

USB-C hybrid multi-terminal adapter

Everyone needs a USB-C hub, but this feature has most of the features: the built-in M.2 case. This means that in addition to overwriting the base port, you can also eject the SSD and use it as a secondary drive. SSD is not included, but it greatly expands what this gadget can do. This is the ultimate companion to your laptop.
