UPDATE: May. 20, 2023, 5:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with the latest and greatest laptop deals.
The only thing better than a great laptop is a great laptop that fits your budget. Nowadays, even cheap PCs pack the specs to help you tackle whatever's on your to-do list, whether it's work, school assignments, watching Netflix, or just endlessly browsing social media. If you're hunting for a new one but don't necessarily want to wipe your savings account in one go, we're compiling a weekly list of the best deals on laptops across major retailers right here. Read on for our top picks as of May 20 (categorized by price, then listed in alphabetical order).

Why we like it
It won't blow you away with its Athlon Silver 3050U processor, 128GB of eMMC storage, or low-res display, but according to our friends over at PCMag(opens in a new tab) (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis), this 15-inch Lenovo laptop from 2022 earns points for its all-day battery life and durable build. A deal at Best Buy(opens in a new tab) makes it a good value: You'll pay just $199.99 instead of its usual $329.99 MSRP, which is a $30 price drop since last week. Note that it comes with three free months of Xbox Game Pass (worth $29.97), though we wouldn't recommend playing any games on it besides The Sims or Minecraft on low graphics settings.

This is the 13-inch MacBook Air from 2020 with an M1 chip, a sleek fanless design, and an 18-hour battery life — you may recall it nabbing a Mashable Choice Award upon release. Its 256GB configuration is on sale at the record-low price of $799.99 at Amazon(opens in a new tab), which is about $200 off its usual retail price of $999. You won't find a cheaper MacBook anywhere unless you go the used/refurbished route.
