Save $200 on a Surface Laptop 3 and more top laptop deals (August 2020)

Looking for a new laptop can be time-consuming and confusing. You have to make so many hardware and software decisions and it can feel like you’re comparing apples and oranges. That wasn’t a Mac pun, but it does bring up the fact that you even have to choose your operating system. Even after you narrow your choices, it can be even tougher to narrow down the best laptop deals.

We’ve taken a bit of the hassle out of your quest. We’ve gone ahead and rounded up some of the best options that can be had right now, and we’ve split our deals up by manufacturer to make things easier. Some new laptops have sky-high prices, so we’ve tried to keep our limit close to $1,000.

Featured deal: Save $200 on a Surface Laptop 3

The Microsoft Surface line earned its stripes in the 2-in-1 market, but the Surface Laptop represents its latest effort in the traditional clamshell market. Available in 13.5-inch and 15-inch configurations, the Surface Laptop 3 takes many of its design cues from its touchscreen siblings.

The bezel may be a bit thick and the display may be on the square side, but an Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of memory give you a nice boost when you need to be productive. It’s a laptop that’s designed to turn heads, and the ability to choose a soft Alcantara finish or a matte texture reinforces that idea. You can take any of four colors, and if you opt for a 16GB configuration Microsoft has storage options up to 1TB.

All of these deals were in effect at the time of writing, but we’ll update them with new savings as we find them.

Lenovo deals

Lenovo has been leading the laptop scene for as long as it’s been around, holding the title as one of the top producers in the world. It’s created many well-known product lines, but none more so than the fabled Yoga 2-in-1s. The Yoga name has even begun to leak into other lines such as the powerful ThinkPads which are built for productivity. Many of Lenovo’s high-end machines feature unique hinge designs that blend beauty and strength.

Dell deals

While Lenovo may ship more units, Dell may be the most recognizable name in American laptops. From the near-perfect XPS line to the accessible Inspiron line, Dell has an option for every consumer. It even covers durable Chromebooks for students with the Chromebook 3100. Although our Dell deals don’t share too many features, that just means you have a wider variety of choices.

It’s also worth a look at some of the latest refurbished deals you can get from Dell while you’re here:

Microsoft Surface deals

As we mentioned above with the Surface Laptop 3, Microsoft’s flexible 2-in-1s are its bread and butter. The Surface Pro 7 and Surface Pro X are the latest in a long line of powerful options, though each has a different purpose. If you opt for the Surface Pro 7, you’re getting a machine that’s built for full-sized apps and can handle Photoshop like a breeze. The Surface Pro X, on the other hand, is built for cloud-based apps and offers an LTE connection that you can take anywhere you want.

The budget-friendly Pavilion line is easy to jump into while the Omen brand brings high-end gaming power in a redesigned body. Many of our top picks offer the latest 10th-generation Intel hardware, and we’ve included a few different price points to fit your budget.

Other laptop deals

If we tried to give each manufacturer its own section we’d be here all day. There are so many options out there that we couldn’t list them all before the deals started to end. With that in mind, we’re putting some of our “best of the rest” deals in this section. We’ve added some Samsung options, an Apple deal, and a pick Razer as well. You’ll have to check each deal for the full rundown of specs, but there’s bound to be one that meets your needs.
