Laptop deals are available everywhere, but I make it my business to sort the best from the rest. As a deals writer for Tom's Guide, I've searched the web to find the best laptop deals from Best Buy, Amazon, and more available this week.

The best deal of the bunch has to be the MacBook Air 13-inch for $899 at Best Buy. It's our choice for the best laptop on the market, and it's incredibly good value at $200 off its original price.

If you're looking for something more affordable, a great choice would be the Acer Aspire 5 for $299 at Amazon. This laptop performs very well for everyday work and has good battery life, hence why we named it the best budget laptop you can get right now.
