The weekend is underway and there are dozens of sales happening simultaneously. While a lot of attention is going to Prime Big Deal Days, I'm equally excited about the Best Buy Member Deals Days sale, which in my opinion is beating Amazon when it comes to laptop deals. The downside is — Best Buy's sale ends on Sunday.

So you need to move fast with these deals. For example, right now Best Buy has laptops on sale from $249. The sale includes Windows machines, AI laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks. Many of this weekend's deals beat the laptop deals I saw during back to school season. Below I've rounded up the top 11 deals I'd get in Best Buy's sale.
