AMD Laptop Deals
The Lenovo Yoga 7 converts between laptop and tablet mode, with a 16-inch 2K display that can reach up to 300 nits of brightness. This model comes configured with an AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPU, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage. That should be more than enough power for multitasking and the 16-inch screen will make it a great option for your Netflix binges.
The Vivobook S 14 is a solid Copilot+ PC for those on a tight budget. It features a 14-inch 2880 x 1800 OLED 120Hz display, AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU, 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. We're also fans of its svelte design, which should make even the biggest MacBook fans take note.
If you’re into indie games or older titles, there’s no need to splurge on a high-end gaming laptop. This HP Victus configuration is on sale and equipped with a 15.6-inch 1080p display with 144Hz refresh, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
This is RTX 5070 performance for the price of an RTX 5060 laptop, while not ignoring the other specs that make for a good gaming laptop — sharp, fluid display, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD.
I'm a huge fan of the updated Asus TUF Gaming range, and this Asus TUF Gaming A16 now offers pure value with this big discount and the specs it boasts. Expect an AMD Ryzen 9 270 CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Even better, its 16-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) display offers a great 165Hz refresh rate. I tested the Asus TUF Gaming A18, and I couldn't get enough of playing on that machine, so this A16 won't be all that different.
