Best Buy’s deal of the day is a HP gaming laptop for $500

This 15-inch Windows laptop is discounted to $157 at Walmart

In an ideal world, you'd want to pick up one of the best high-end laptop deals around. However with everyone's budgets tighter than ever, even an awesome deal from somewhere like Dell might still be out of your reach. Alternatively, you might simply not want to spend that much on a new laptop. Either way, that's where the Gateway 15.6-inch Ultra Slim Notebook deal at Walmart becomes so tempting. Right now, you can buy it for only $157 instead of $199. It was cheap at $199 but with $42 off, it's an even more appealing deal.

Now, this isn't a system that's going to wow, well, pretty much anyone. It's a distinctly basic laptop but it does at least have some reasonable specs if you're simply interested in using it for everyday tasks like web browsing or school work. If you've been struggling to get by with your phone or tablet, and need a bigger display and something Windows-based, this should suffice for many people. Let's take a look at what else the Gateway 15.6-inch Ultra Slim Notebook has to offer and why you might want it.

Best Buy knocked $650 off one of our favorite gaming laptops

If you're a gamer, then you're likely familiar with ASUS' lineup of gaming laptops called 'Republic of Gamers' or ROG for short. These laptops tend to focus on high-end gaming specifications, with a lot of horsepower under the hood and a price tag to match. Of course, that doesn't mean that all the laptops under the brand are big, bulky, and have the biggest screens possible; on the contrary, small ROG laptops like the Zephyrus G14 are just as powerful while being quite portable.

Unfortunately, they still come with a big price tag, and while finding great gaming laptop deals on these smaller laptops can be hard, luckily, Best Buy is selling the Zephyrus G14 for $1,000 rather than the usual $1,650. That's a substantial discount for a laptop that can go head to head with a log of gaming PC, so if you're looking for a small but powerful gaming laptop with a large discount, the Zephyrus G14 is your best bet, so lets take a look at it.

Get this HP 17-inch laptop for $330 with this weekend deal

17-inch laptops are a rather rare phenomenon, given that they are large and bulky and tend to cost an arm and a leg. Even so, it's hard to argue that having a larger screen isn't worth it, especially if you need it to do video or graphical editing or if your eyesight isn't that great. Of course, there are also folks who just generally like having a bigger screen, so finding a budget laptop without the expensive GPU and CPU for editing can be difficult.

Luckily, HP has your back with their 17-inch laptop, which you can grab from their website for just $330, rather than the $500 it usually goes for. Even better, you can customize it and use the extra savings on upgrades, such as getting a much better CPU that adds versatility or a better display that runs FHD rather than just HD. Also, even though you can upgrade the internal space, you still might want to grab one of these external hard drive deals for added versatility.
