Cheap laptop deals tend to become obsolete in less than a year's time. However, when you're in a crunch — a cheap laptop might be all you can afford. Fortunately, HP has an inexpensive laptop sale that's as futureproof as they get.

For a limited time, you can get the HP Laptop 15t on sale for $549.99. That's $240 off and the best price we could find for this laptop. It's especially noteworthy for its above-average spec sheet.
