HP drops killer laptop deals for Prime Day with over $800 in price cuts

Buying a computer on Prime Day usually involves frantically digging through Amazon to find the best laptop deals available. However, with Prime Day extending over 48 hours this year, many other retailers are getting in on the savings. With that extra time, competing retailers like HP, Dell, and Walmart are offering big sales to keep up with Amazon. So if you are looking for the best laptop deal for Prime Day, you have plenty of options to choose from — including Macbook discounts.

The HP brand is known for high-quality portable computers, most notably the Spectre x360 — which we have deemed to be nearly perfect. With discounts over $800 during HP’s Prime Day deals event, you can apply the code FIVEMORE to get additional savings.

If you’re looking for one of the very best laptops you can buy, then this isn’t going to be it.  That doesn’t mean it isn’t still a decent portable computer, however — especially when you factor in its low price point. With an Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB of memory, and a 128 GB SSD, this budget laptop drops some storage space to bring the price down to just $494. It has a pretty decent battery life, a large 15.6-inch screen, and is relatively portable at just 1-inch thick. The HP 15t doesn’t have quite the horsepower other laptops on our list do, but it will work just fine as an everyday work notebook.

With some configurations priced as high as $1,300, this HP laptop comes in at just $494 during this sale. This is one of the best doorbuster deals the HP Prime Day sale has to offer right now.

HP has come out with a few different updates of this 2-in-1 laptop, and it has remained one of our favorites throughout its glorious evolution. We actually gave the 2019 HP Spectre x360 13 an impressive 10 out of 10 in our review — which is a rare sight for any laptop. With great battery life, a comfy and precise keyboard, and convertible nature it is a really good choice for anyone hoping to be productive. This particular option offers an Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB of memory, and 256 GB SSD. This is currently the most affordable configuration we could find, but you can scale up processing power and memory while maintaining that same discount. Though the extra 5 percent off varies by overall price.

Normally priced around $1,150, you can pick up this HP convertible laptop for as low as $902 right now.  If you’re looking for the best laptop under $1,000 during this Prime Day sale, this is it.

Best Buy’s deal of the day is a starter gaming laptop for $700
A man playing on the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop.

You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get into PC gaming because there are gaming laptop deals like Best Buy's offer for the Acer Nitro 5. The starter gaming laptop, which is already relatively affordable at its original price of $950, is currently even cheaper at just $700. You'll be able to use the $250 in savings on video games and gaming accessories, but you'll have to act fast if you want it because we're not sure how much time is remaining before the bargain disappears, and once that happens, we don't know when you'll get another chance at it.

Why you should buy the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop
The Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, and 16GB of RAM. It's not going to challenge the performance of the top-of-the-line models of the best gaming laptops, but it's going to be more than enough to play the best PC games. Some of the more demanding titles may force you to choose low graphics settings, but that's a fine trade-off for a gaming laptop that you can get for less than $1,000.

HP 14-inch Chromebook — $159, was $299

If you weren't aware, the Best Buy 3-Day Sale is going on now. While the name is a considerably less flashy than Amazon's Prime Day, it does make immediate sense. There's a sale going on at Best Buy, and it lasts... for three days, ending Sunday. During this sale, you can find a number of classic Best Buy items — with everything from the best laptops to the best tablets — marked down in price. Here, we investigate the tablets that make up the 3-Day Sale and highlight the five we like the most, based on discount and quality of the product, while also showing a wide variety of tablets and price ranges.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.
