Lenovo IdeaPad 1 — $180, was $330

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 features a 15.6-inch screen with HD resolution, which is large enough to properly view whatever project you’re working on, and a 128GB eMMC for storage with Windows 11 Home in S Mode out of the box. Inside the laptop are the AMD Athlon Silver 3050U processor, AMD Radeon Graphics, and 4GB of RAM, which are sufficient if you’re only planning to use the laptop to carry out basic tasks such as typing documents and doing online research. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 also comes with Dolby Audio speakers, so it’s great for watching streaming content.

Lenovo Chromebook 3 — $219, was $319

You’ll want to go for Chromebook deals if you’re looking for cheaper alternatives to Windows-based laptops. That’s because Chromebooks, like the Lenovo Chromebook 3, offer fast performance despite low-end components, as Google’s Chrome OS depends on web-based apps instead of installed software. The Lenovo Chromebook 3’s MediaTek MT8183 processor and 4GB of RAM don’t look good on paper, but you won’t be complaining once you try it out. It also features a 14-inch touchscreen with Full HD resolution, and cloud support to augment its 64GB eMMC.

The HP Pavilion x360 doesn’t hold back on performance, as it’s powered by the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM. The 2-in-1 laptop also comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed in its 512GB SSD.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 — $600, was $700

If MacBook deals are still too expensive for you, you may want to consider going for the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2.
