As laptop manufacturers begin to roll out their 2022 models, now is a good time to scoop up a model from last year at a discount. With Intel announcing new 12th-gen Core processors and AMD rolling out new Ryzen chips at CES at the beginning of the year, retailers are slashing prices on current models to make way for upcoming computers with the latest chips.
The best deals I see this week are at Best Buy where you can save $500 on either a 13.3-inch or 15.6-inch model of Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro 360. These convertible two-in-one laptops feature AMOLED displays — Samsung’s version of OLED — that produce stunning color and contrast. They also boast thin-and-light designs, responsive performance, long battery life and work seamlessly with Galaxy phones. A pair of Lenovo Yoga convertibles are also on sale at Best Buy with $300 discounts. And check out the Asus VivoBook 15 if you are looking for an OLED laptop at a great price. I’ve also included other strong deals I found at Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg.
Check out the options below, which are regularly updated as sales expire and new deals emerge.
This 13-inch two-in-one convertible offers a dash of style with an all-metal body and lid wrapped in blue stain-resistant fabric. This discounted model features AMD’s stellar eight-core Ryzen 7 5700U CPU along with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 13.3-inch touchscreen has full-HD resolution and can rotate 360 degrees into tablet mode.
Dell’s entry-level Inspiron may have an uninspired plastic enclosure, but if you care more about performance and storage space than you do about a sleek design, then this model is worth checking out. It serves up a modern CPU and twice the RAM and four times the solid-state storage of nearly every other laptop at this price. It has an 11th-gen Core i3 chip along with 16GB of RAM and a huge 1TB solid-state drive. You usually find 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD on offer in a budget laptop, so the 16GB of memory is a welcome surprise and the 1TB SSD is downright thrilling. Many budget laptops also feature lower-resolution displays, but this Inspiron 3000 model has a 15.6-inch display with a 1,920×1,080-pixel resolution.
OLED for the masses! This midrange laptop from Asus boasts a 15.6-inch OLED display with 1,920×1,080-pixel resolution. Not only is it a step up from budget models that make you get by with a 720p screen, but it’s also got 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 SSD, 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 near its $800 list price but even better when it’s discounted and priced closer to $700.
Lenovo’s midrange two-in-one convertible laptop is based on 11th-gen Intel Core processors and boasts the Intel Evo badge and an all-metal body. This discounted model features a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen powered by an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 12GB of RAM, Intel Iris Xe graphics and a 512GB SSD.
Co-engineered by Samsung and Intel, this premium Intel Evo two-in-one boasts a 13.3-inch AMOLED display powered by an 11th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The full-HD AMOLED display produces stunning color and contrast and can be rotated 360 degrees into tablet mode. The system includes Samsung’s S Pen for drawing and jotting down notes, and the Galaxy Book Pro works seamlessly with Galaxy phones.
This 14-inch ZenBook has a rugged, all-metal enclosure that’s less than 0.7 inches thick and weighs less than three pounds. It features AMD’s awesome Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, 16GB of RAM and a roomy 1TB SSD. The laptop features a unique hinge that lifts the back edge of the laptop to provide good airflow and some tilt to the keyboard to create a comfortable typing position. The full-HD display lacks touch support but is rated for a bright 400 nits. It’s currently selling for $30 less than its already reasonable list price.
This 15.6-inch version of the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is also $500 off. It supplies a bigger display and twice the storage capacity with a 1TB SSD for $100 more than the 13.3-inch 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 and can save more than $450 on it right now.
