Fourth of July weekend means back-to-school laptop deals. Here are the best ones I’ve found.
Gaming laptops: The Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16-inch) is $1,850 — 16% off. Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, RTX 5070 Ti GPU. Handles any current title at max settings. It was $300 cheaper during Prime Day, but this is still solid.
Premium Windows: Dell XPS 16 (2024) is $1,889 — 17% off. Zero-lattice keyboard, 3.2K OLED display at 120Hz. 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Arc GPU. Great for professionals and creators.
MacBooks: Apple recently raised prices across the board, but Amazon hasn’t matched them yet. The MacBook Air M5 (13-inch, 16GB) is $1,298. The MacBook Neo is $699 — a fantastic budget pick with smart trade-offs. Renewed MacBook Air M1 is $519 if you want to save more.
Quick tip on renewed MacBooks: Apple puts them through a rigorous quality check before resale. They’re basically as good as new.
Other brands with deals: Acer, Asus, and HP all have July 4th discounts running right now. Most of these devices were released within the last year, so you’re getting current hardware.
