The only thing better than a great laptop is a great laptop that fits your budget. Nowadays, even cheap PCs pack the specs to help you tackle whatever's on your to-do list, whether it's work, school assignments, watching Netflix, or just endlessly browsing social media. If you're hunting for a new one but don't necessarily want to wipe your savings account in one go, we're compiling a running list of the best deals on laptops across major retailers right here. Read on for our top picks as of July 22 (categorized by price, then listed in alphabetical order).

Laptop deals under $300

Our pick: Dell Inspiron 15
$299.99 on Dell.com (save $180)

Why we like it

This 15.6-inch traditional laptop from Dell comes with 512GB of SSD storage, which is something I've never seen in the sub-$300 price range in all my time putting this list of deals together. (Most entry-level PCs have sluggish eMMC flash storage that caps out at 128GB.) It's powered by an 11th-generation Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor with 8GB of RAM, making it stellar for everyday multitasking.

Laptop deals under $600

Our pick: Dell Inspiron 16
$579.99 on Dell.com (save $420)

Why we like it

A 2022 release, this Inspiron 16 also has an unheard-of storage capacity for its current clearance price point: a whole terabyte. 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.

Laptop deals under $900

Our pick: Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch
$749.99 at Amazon and Best Buy (save $249.01)

Why we like it

This is the 13-inch MacBook Air with an M1 chip, a sleek fanless design, and an 18-hour battery life, which nabbed a Mashable's Choice Award upon release in late 2020. The 256GB base configuration's current price of $749.99 (available at Amazon and Best Buy) is a lingering Prime Day deal and the cheapest it's ever been. You won't find a less expensive MacBook anywhere unless you buy a used or refurbished model.

Laptop deals over $900

Our pick: Razer Blade 15
$1,799 on Razer.com (save $1,200)

Why we like it

Last year's Razer Blade 15 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop that's "the best premium mix of mobility and performance" for big-budget shoppers, according to the experts at PCMag (owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis). Razer's current deal on the 1TB model with an Intel Core i7-12800H processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU takes a welcome chunk off to bring it well under the $2,000 mark; it was hovering at $1,999 earlier this month.
