This is the first holiday weekend of the year where you can get major discounts on tech, and right now we’re seeing up to 38 percent off top-tested laptops.

We typically see prices like this around Cyber Week, but Presidents’ Day is also a great time to buy a new laptop (or any other tech gadget), whether you’re looking for a cheap Chromebook, a sleek touchscreen, or a feature-packed gaming laptop. “The sales will include products from leading makers like Apple, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft, among others, that debuted over the past year, ensuring that consumers can snag a bargain on a laptop with up-to-date hardware and futureproof performance,” says Stefan Vazharov, Senior Tech Editor for Best Products.

There are a lot of laptops out there, so Vazharov broke down what you should consider before making the purchase. “I always recommend researching the latest laptop hardware and design trends to narrow down the type of machine you are looking for,” he says. “If you are shopping for a laptop to give as a gift, make sure its specs, performance, and battery life fit the recipient’s needs.”

To help get you started, we rounded up the best laptop deals below.

Presidents’ Day Laptop Deals

2020 MacBook Air

MacBooks can run pricey, but the 2020 MacBook Air is an entry-level option that’s ideal for everyday use, school projects, web browsing, and beyond. All three metallic finishes (silver, gold, and space gray) are currently on sale.

The laptop is sleek, with a fast and powerful performance, and is capable of delivering up to a whopping 18 hours of battery life between charges. It also weighs just 2.8 pounds, making it a lightweight option great for commuting and traveling.

Surface Laptop 5 (15-inch)

The sale on this Microsoft notebook brings the price tag under $1,000, which is a noteworthy moment for the often pricey computer. You should get up to 17 hours of use on a single charge, and there are two different storage options that vary in price.

The sleek, sophisticated design of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 stands out from other touchscreen PC competitors. Users get the laptop experience they know and love combined with a touch screen, essential connectivity ports, and a solid performance and battery life.

Galaxy Book3 Pro Touchscreen PC Laptop

Key features of this Samsung notebook include the AMOLED touchscreen, a high refresh rate, and powerful Intel hardware. It offers a solid amount of memory at 512GB, and we’re fans of the high-quality webcam as well as the price point for a laptop of this size.

The 16-inch version of the product is also on major sale, though the price tag is higher for the extra 2 inches.

Swift Go 14 Touchscreen PC Laptop

For less than $750, this laptop is ideal if you’re shopping on a tighter budget. The hardware includes a 13th-generation Intel Core i7 chip, which delivers an impressive gaming performance, a high-resolution webcam, and both wired and wireless connectivity features.

The Acer notebook also comes with a sleeve, so you have a way to keep it protected while you’re on the go. It eliminates the need for a separate purchase, only adding value to the budget-friendly price tag.

Pavilion Plus 14 PC Laptop

This was our pick for the best PC laptop for college students, thanks to the crisp OLED screen, eco-friendly build, and streamlined design. The GeForce RTX 20 Series GPU has you covered for both gaming and any school project thrown your way.

The only con for this pick is that it doesn’t feature a touch screen, but if that’s not a dealbreaker for you, it's a great pick.

Inspiron 15 3511 PC Laptop

The vibe of a tablet and the function of a laptop come together in this affordable gaming pick. The notebook features an anti-glare screen in full HD for crisp visuals and is loaded with an Intel Core i5-1035G1 quad-core processor for speedy performance.

Reviewers say the battery life isn’t the best, but also praise how it can handle notoriously heavy programs (like Adobe) with ease. Just make sure to pack your charger if you’re working on the go.
