15 laptop deals I'd buy with my own money — save on Alienware, Dell, Apple and more this weekend

The Acer Aspire Go 15 made our list of the best laptops as the best value pick, and it's even better value now that it's on sale for a discount! You get a roomy 15.6-inch display, 10 hours of battery life and plenty of ports. We also like its comfortable keyboard, and its Intel Core i3 processor is enough to handle everyday tasks. The webcam and speakers aren't great, but that's not too bad for the price.

The OmniBook 5 is a powerful AI-based laptop that doesn't cost a fortune. In fact, it's downright cheap at this price.

Whether you're using it at work or at school, it's a budget friendly mainstream machine that won't disappoint.

Want an inexpensive Copilot+ PC? This 15.6-inch laptop won't disappoint despite its low price. It features a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Its 15.6-inch 1080p display is pretty standard, but at this price that's no dealbreaker.

Save big on this RTX 5060-powered HP Omen 17.3" configuration, an ideal pick for casual games or graphically intensive games at lower settings. It’s equipped with an AMD Ryzen AI 5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. You also get a 17.3-inch 1080p 144Hz display.

Fortunately, there's $200 off this build with Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and an RTX 5060 GPU. Display wise, you're looking at WQXGA with a 240Hz refresh rate.

As another gaming laptop that can pump out wicked gaming performance in a sleek design, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 is now on sale for a discount. You can expect an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, an RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD.

This HP Omen Max 16 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU is now one of the cheapest RTX 50-series gaming laptops I've seen, all thanks to this $600 price cut.

Yes, it's pricey, but this is one of the first discounts we've seen on Alienware's just-released laptops.

Yes, this is a 5-year old Mac, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a MacBook Air for less. Despite its age, it offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed.
