The Top Laptop Deals for August 2021: Apple, Lenovo & Dell
It doesn’t matter what the product is, we all want to get the best deal possible on our purchases. Right now, the best laptop deals from Apple, Dell, Lenovo and Acer are available through online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart and Best Buy.
This includes laptops like the M1 MacBook Air and Chromebooks, providing a wide variety of laptops for your various needs.
These deals won’t last for long, so it’s best to strike while the iron is hot.
Below are our picks for the best laptop deals available from Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.
1. Apple M1 MacBook Air Laptop
SAVE $100
In terms of total savings, this isn’t one of the best laptop deals. However, this is the best laptop for sale right now, and it is possible to find it at a discount. The M1 MacBook Air was the single best laptop to be released in 2020 (or in the last five years), and just a couple of months into 2021, you can already find it on sale for $100 off its usual asking price. We would recommend purchasing this computing machine via Amazon Prime (where you’ll find some of the best back-to-school laptop deals of 2021), but it’s also available at a discounted price via retailers such as Best Buy.
Kitted out with Apple’s M1 CPU it developed in house, this laptop is faster and more powerful than all but the most expensive Intel-based laptops (Windows or Mac) while still maintaining its thin-and-light design that sets MacBooks apart from the competition. While this may not seem like the best laptop deal out there, when you consider the performance you get out of this machine compared to what you spend, any discount is just the cherry on top.

2. MacBook Pro M1
SAVE $200
When you’re team Mac, you know you have to jump on a good deal when you see it, because frankly, Apple products, especially laptops, don’t go on sale that often. The MacBook Pro M1 is $200 off the original price at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. We don’t know how long this deal will last so act quickly, especially considering the new M1 chip that powers the MacBook Pro is redefining the way we look at computer performance. And with the Touch Bar and a Retina True Tone display, it’s the go-to laptop for content creators. Take advantage before this deal is gone.

4. Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1

It is hard to ignore all of the utility you get with a 2-in-1 laptop, especially when you consider the $200 savings you get on the Lenovo Yoga 7i right now at Best Buy. It has an 11th Gen core i5 processor for zippy processing power and the 256GB of storage is plenty for any school or work laptop. And when you consider the two work-day long battery life (16 hours) on top of built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant, you quickly realize this is one steal of a deal happening at Best Buy.

5. Apple MacBook Pro 13 (Previous Model)
SAVE $450
If you are willing to forgo the M1 chip and go for a previous model of MacBook, you can save some serious coin. A MacBook with 512GB of SSD and 8GB of memory usually runs $1,449, but at Best Buy, you can score this laptop for $999.99 right now. Minus the M1 chip, you still get an awesome amount of storage and memory that can handle even the most intense photo and video editing, as well as the Touch Bar that makes content editing more convenient. Those who are looking to score a powerful Mac at a decent price should jump on this deal before it’s gone.

6. Samsung Galaxy Chromebook
SAVE $300
Right now you can score this stylish Samsung Galaxy Chromebook for $300 off at Amazon. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Chromebook — it features a 4K AMOLED touch display that makes both work and play that much better. Speaking of working better, the Galaxy Chromebook comes with an S-pen that allows you to interact with your computer in more ways than most standard laptops, And since you can fold the Chromebook display all the way back, you can essentially treat it like a tablet. With all the utility this Chromebook provides, it’s hard to not jump on this deal.

7. Dell Inspiron 14
SAVE $284
Right now through Dell, you can get a Dell Inspiron and save over $280 dollars. Of course, your savings depend on the configuration. But you can beef this puppy up to 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage and have a laptop that can conquer any task you throw it’s way. Plus, when you consider all of the connectivity — ports that are left behind on many new laptops — like multiple USB ports, HDMI and a USB-C port, it makes the incentive to jump on this deal before it runs out all the more sweet.

8. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i
SAVE $220
Currently at Office Max, you can get an ultra-powerful Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7i laptop and save $220 in the process; and we mean powerful. There’s 16GB of memory and 512GB SSD storage on board, as well as an Intel i7 processor. It’s fast, and slim, but doesn’t completely skimp on connectivity either with three USB 3.0 ports and a memory card reader. If that doesn’t do it for you, maybe the 15 hours of battery life will push you over the edge to make you realize you should jump on this deal before it’s too late.
