Best Deals on Laptops, Desktop Computers, and Tablets Right Now

LG’s Gram line of notebooks has consistently scored among the top laptops in our labs since it debuted nearly a decade ago. The 16-inch Gram Pro offers very fast performance and a 17-plus-hour battery life. Of course, given that it’s called the Gram, you’d be correct in assuming it’s quite lightweight as well.

This 14-inch laptop features an Intel Core 7 processor, 16 gigabytes of memory, and 512GB of solid state storage—the sort of specs that allow you to stretch beyond the routine work of paying bills, returning emails, and fielding Zoom calls. It can handle tougher tasks, like photo and video editing, too, though not quite as fast as top-of-the-line options. All in all, it’s a solid laptop from a reliable brand—available at a solid price.

If you’re in the market for a lightweight laptop, this Apple MacBook Air is a great 13-inch option. The M2 MacBook Air is among the highest-rated models in our laptop ratings, combining fast performance with great battery life and a great display. And it’ll go just about anywhere, with battery life (around 14 hours) to spare.

Although this laptop is usually listed at $1,199, we’ve seen it selling for less than $1,000 for months.

Attention, travelers: If you’re looking for a lightweight option, this model is one of our favorites for travel. MSI’s 13-inch Prestige weighs a scant 2.1 pounds, earning top marks in our ratings for portability, while still delivering solid performance and 15-hour battery life.

The Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 has a 14-inch screen that you can fold back to use as a tablet. Its display is brighter than most, which makes it ideal for reading outside on a sunny day. That said, its battery life is longer than that of many other Chromebooks, lasting 15.75 hours in web browsing tests and 12 hours in video playback. Performance speeds are among the top in our rated Chromebooks, making this a great pick for a variety of uses.

Apple’s entry-level iPad is $8 less than the lowest price we’ve seen until now. It still provides the most bang for your buck, especially when you factor in the number of high-quality apps and services available for the iPad operating system. The model has a 10.9-inch display and 64 gigabytes of storage, and it records HD video. In our testing, the device delivers enough battery life for a cross-country flight or a day on the go.

Apple recently unveiled a Mac Mini with an M4 processor, but this M2 model delivers admirable power and performance, especially for this price. It features 8 gigabytes of memory and 256GB of solid state storage and remains the least expensive way to buy a Mac, assuming you already have a mouse, a keyboard, and an external monitor.

The Canon Color imageClass MF656Cdw sits near the top of our ratings for color printers. It’s relatively inexpensive for a color laser model, and the estimated toner cost of $46 is low for the category. Color laser printers are built with graphics professionals or maybe small businesses in mind; they’re expensive to buy and the toner isn’t cheap, at around $75 annually. But there’s a reason some people buy and love models like this. When it comes to graphics, they blow away both inkjets and black-and-white lasers with sharp, accurately saturated images. The text performance is stellar as well, though they do fall short when it comes to printing photos. Keep in mind that it’s quite large for a home printer.

Tech editor Chris Raymond has his finger on the pulse of all things tech, and he found the mesh router he uses in his own home at a discount during a sale.

“I bought this mesh router system back when I started working at home full-time, and it still makes me smile,” he says. “It’s inexpensive (especially at this price), easy to set up (using the TP-Link mobile app), and effectively eliminates the WiFi dead spots in my modest-sized home. In fact, I even get a reliable signal on the backyard patio now.”

If you don’t need (or want) a multirouter mesh setup, this single-unit WiFi 6 model from Netgear should be near the top of your list. It aced our throughput tests at all distances and was easy to set up via a smartphone app or an old-school, web-based wizard.
