Asus

OLED for the masses! This midrange laptop from Asus boasts a 15.6-inch OLED display with a full HD resolution. Not only is it a step up from budget models that make you get by with a 720p screen, but it’s also an OLED panel that delivers stellar contrast. It’s also thinner and lighter than any 15-inch budget model. Based on an 11th-gen Core i5 CPU and featuring 12GB of RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive, it features more memory and double the storage capacity than you’ll find with most budget laptops. It also has both Type-A and Type-C USB ports, saving you from having to carry around an adapter. It’s a good deal at its $800 list price and even better when it’s $100 off like it is right now.

Dell

Dell’s top-end Inspiron 7000 2-in1 convertible boasts an all-aluminum chassis that’s thinner, lighter and sturdier than the midrange Inspiron 5000, which features metal lids and keyboard decks but flimsy plastic bottom panels. This 14-inch model is discounted by $150 and supplies AMD’s powerful eight-core Ryzen 7 5700U CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 14-inch touchscreen has full HD resolution and can rotate 360 degrees into tablet mode.

This 13-inch ultraportable laptop boasts an all-metal enclosure, a rarity at this price where plastic lids or bottom panels are common. It also serves up an OLED display that delivers a dynamic image with deep blacks and bright whites. AMD’s powerful octa-core AMD Ryzen 7 5700U powers the display along with 8GB of RAM. I would have liked to have 16GB of RAM for speedier performance, but at least it provides a 512GB SSD rather than the 256GB capacity often found at this price.

Dell’s 15-inch XPS laptop isn’t necessarily geared toward gamers, but this configuration certainly can handle AAA titles with its 11th-gen Core i7-11800H  CPU and GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics. You also get 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. The 15-inch OLED display has an impressive 3,456×2,160-pixel resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio for more vertical space and less scrolling. It’s rated for a bright 400 nits. It’s $400 off right now at Best Buy.
