This Intel Pentium Silver N4000-powered Acer Chromebook 314 Spin puts a twist on the standard budget Chromebook with a touchscreen display and a convertible, laptop-or-tablet design — a rare find in the sub-$ 300 price range. (128GB of eMMC storage is better than a lot of the competition, too.) Amazon has it marked down to $ 299.99, which is a 21% savings.

A 2022 release, this Dell Inspiron 16 features something almost unheard of in this price range: a whole terabyte of storage. Other spec highlights include an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, a decent mid-range CPU for gaming, plus 16GB of RAM, and a big 16-inch, 16:10 display. It typically retails for $ 999.99, but Dell has it on clearance for $ 579.99 during its Black Friday in July sale (not to be confused with Best Buy’s Prime Day counter-programming) — that’s 42% off.

Full disclosure: This Acer Swift X laptop isn’t on sale just yet, but it will be soon as part of an invite-only deal for Prime members during Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale (scheduled for July 11 and 12). You can throw your hat in the ring just by clicking the “Request invite” button on its product page; if selected for the doorbuster, you’ll receive an email with a unique link to buy it during the event. It’s worth the hassle, IMO: This 512GB configuration with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor actually retails for $ 1,099.99, so your total savings are even higher than Amazon is letting on with its $ 915 list price. (It works out to a 43% discount.)

Announced during Apple’s jam-packed Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote in early June, the new 15-inch MacBook Air upgrades its 13-inch predecessor with a bigger display and two extra speakers. It retains the same M2 chip, 18-hour battery life, and quiet, fanless design. Amazon wasted no time in putting it on sale, and the base configuration with 256GB of storage is currently sitting at an all-time low price of $ 1,199 — a $ 100 savings. (That matches the Apple Store’s education discount for students, teachers, and school staff members.)
