A laptop is a lifeline for many of us. Whether you work from home, own your own business, or are heading back to school, a laptop is probably necessary. Some tasks are so much easier to accomplish on a laptop like making a spreadsheet, checking financial info, or booking your next vacation.

Although Prime Day was last month and we’re waiting on the announcement of the next Prime Day, you can still get a sweet deal on a new laptop.

During the week of Aug. 6, you can score some serious savings on laptops from brands like Apple, HP, Lenovo, Acer, and more. Here are some of our top picks this week.

Best overall deal
Why we like itThe MacBook Air 15-inch is our current top overall pick for most people who are looking for a MacBook. Apple introduced several upgrades with this newest model including support for Wi-Fi 6 and support for two external monitors, but only when the lid is shut.

Thanks to today’s deal, Amazon has this 15-inch model on sale for $1,049.98 which is a 19% discount off the list price of $1,299. This price also makes it the lowest we’ve ever seen at Amazon, so if you’ve been considering the MacBook Air 15-inch, today is a great time to snag it.

Why we like itSometimes the versatility of a Chromebook is exactly what you need, and one on a massive discount is even better. Today you can grab the HP Chromebook Plus x360 14c (Intel Core i3-128GB SSD) for 37% off, which means a sale price of $489.99 compared to the usual price of $789.99.

For starters, this HP Chromebook Plus can support Wi-Fi 6 while offering dual hinges so you can use it in tent or tablet mode. It’s also travel friendly, weighing just a bit over three pounds. The white backlit keyboard can also be great for travel should you find yourself typing out a document on a plane or a dimly lit hotel room.

Why we like itIf budget is a consideration, check out the sale price on the Lenovo Ideapad 1i. While this model usually costs about $500, Best Buy has it discounted to just $329.99. The full HD display is perfect if you’re looking for a lower-cost laptop to stream movies. With a 15.6-inch screen, you’ll be in good shape for seeing the entire spreadsheet at work without having to squint or constantly scroll.

While it’s not a stunning high-end model, the affordable price of the Lenovo Ideapad 1i mixed with its decent stats could be the perfect combo.
