With Independence Day coming up fast, 4th of July deals are popping up all over the place. And fortunately, if you’ve been looking for a great midrange laptop to bring to work or school, there are numerous 4th of July laptop deals to choose from. In fact, we found a particularly great one at Best Buy that we can’t help but discuss.

While the sale lasts, you’ll be able to score the Acer 15.6-inch Aspire Vero for only $400. Not only will you save $230 off the normal price, but you’ll be the proud owner of a new, fast, and reliable Windows laptop!

Why you should buy the Acer 15.6-inch Aspire Vero

Believe it or not, PC engineering can be harmful to the environment. This is a fact that the folks at Acer took to heart when designing the body and inner workings of the Aspire Vero. The chassis uses 40% PCR plastic, which helps reduce CO2 emissions by 21% to 30%. Beyond the keeping-it-green accolades, this is quite a powerful laptop for its price.

Equipped with an Intel Core i5-1335U and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, the Vero also contains 8GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. You should have plenty of space to store important documents, software, and other content, and the performance benchmarks are strong enough to use the laptop for video editing and other demanding workflow tools.

The Aspire Vero is also Wi-Fi 6E certified and supports the Bluetooth 5.1 standard. Connections include two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A, and one HDMI 2.1 output. While this may not be the end-all-be-all gaming setup you’ve been dreaming of, the Aspire Vero has enough horsepower to satisfy most light to moderate gaming applications. Just don’t be surprised if a bandwidth-heavy online match starts slowing things down.

Laptop deals are something we see all the time, but it’s important to draw attention to promos you may not find anywhere else. Such is the case with the Acer 15.6-inch Aspire Vero, which you’ll be able to own for $400 as long as this Best Buy deal lasts.

Best Buy is selling this Lenovo Chromebook for $229 during 4th of July sales

While some of the best laptops on the market can play the latest AAA games, that's often way too much power for most folks, and they often cost an arm and a leg. Add to that the fact that Windows 11 likes to take a chunk out of the RAM to run, and you start running into issues where even budget-oriented laptops are quite expensive to stay above a minimum specification bar. Luckily, there is a solution in the form of Chromebooks, which run their own, more lightweight operating system, so you can get some really great stuff for cheap. In fact, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i is currently on sale at Best Buy for the 4th of July, and it's going for just$229 rather than the usual $349 that it usually costs.

Why you should buy the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook
Because ChromeOS is a lot lighter than Windows, it means that Chromebooks like the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i can get away with having lower-end specs, such as with the Intel N100 CPU. It's a lower-end processor that wouldn't work well for a regular laptop, but this Chromebook will handle most day-to-day and general-use tasks without too much hassle. Granted, the 4GB of RAM is a bit on the lower end, even for a Chromebook, but it's not as debilitating, and you'll still get some pretty good use out of it. That said, the 64GB of storage is very low, and you'll likely have to supplement it with one of these external hard drive deals, if you don't have one already.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 15
The XPS 15 is one of the most popular laptops on the market, right up there with the Apple MacBook Pro (we found some great MacBook deals this week too). This particular version of the computer is sold with an Intel Core i7-13620H with integrated Intel Arc Graphics A370M. These core peripherals are powered by 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. On paper alone, this is an incredible laptop, but it’s the performance that’s going to win you over.
