The usual suspects have discounts. Best Buy Amazon Walmart and the manufacturer sites are all competing for your money. The trick is knowing which deals are real versus which are inflated then marked down.

Right now the sweet spot for value is in the mid-range. Around $600-800 gets you a laptop that will handle most tasks without compromise. Below that you make sacrifices. Above that you hit diminishing returns unless you have specific needs.
Laptop technology has reached a point where even budget machines are genuinely usable for everyday tasks.
Gaming laptops have their own sale category. Those prices are coming down but they’re still expensive relative to equivalent desktop performance. You pay for portability.
Chromebooks are dirt cheap right now if all you need is a browser machine. Theyre not for everyone but for basic tasks theyre fine.
My advice is know what you need before shopping. Dont let a deal convince you to buy something you didnt actually need. A good price on the wrong laptop is still a waste of money.
