We checked out the new Acer Swift Go 16 at CES 2026 and were impressed with its specs. The slightly older Swift 16 AI comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Plus, it's $450 off as Best Buy aims to move units to make room for the new 16-inch laptop.

With a whopping $300 off the price, this Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is hard to pass up. First off, that RTX 5070 will take gamers far, but that's not all it comes packed with. You'll get an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. Compared with the newly announced ROG Zephyrus G16, the differences aren't that huge, making this a fantastic deal.

And with a new Aura Edition on the way, the price has absolutely plummeted, making this a fantastic laptop for anyone who wants a large screen and thin portability.

The Dell 14 Premium is a solid laptop at its full price (which is why Dell is keeping it alive with a new model). The particular model that's on sale today has the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, Intel Arc graphics, 16GB of RAM and a 14.5-inch display. For work and all-around usage, this laptop is great.

We couldn't forget the gamers with this one. It's not a top-of-the-line gaming laptop, but for the player who wants to play the latest games without breaking the bank, this will work. The GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU paired with the Intel Core Ultra7-255H CPU makes for a laptop that can handle a wide range of games and AI tasks.
