I cover all aspects of laptops here at Mashable, and after countless hours sifting through the sales of every top retailer this year, the very best deals are extending right into Wednesday. While the excitement of Cyber Monday has passed, the good news is that retailers still have a few record-low prices that simply can’t be ignored.

I’ve sifted through the thousands of ongoing deals on OLEDs, gaming systems, and dual-screen setups to present the last three laptop suggestions that I’d eagerly add to my cart at this moment. These models (my top selections for everyday users and the most beneficial niche options) have all been rigorously tested and approved by the Mashable team.

Best MacBook promotion
Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) – $748 at P.C. Richard & Son (Save $251)

Why we recommend it
Apple’s newest MacBook Air is lightweight, silent, and outperforms 83% of the laptops in our testing database — it’s an exceptionally impressive ultraportable. The 15-inch variant is my top choice for most users, but the 13-inch version is ideal for college students and other individuals seeking something a bit more affordable and portable. Both sizes were frequently discounted on Amazon for $200 off earlier this autumn, and I truly believed they wouldn’t drop further at this stage of their life spans (given they’re still under a year old). Surprisingly, they remain discounted at various retailers. Currently, the Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is available at P.C. Richard & Son for only $748. (It’s “temporarily out of stock” at Amazon.)

Best gaming laptop offer
Alienware 16X Aurora (Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) – $1,649.99 at Amazon (Save $350)

Why we recommend it
The Alienware 16X Aurora is my preferred gaming laptop for most users. It’s an outstanding mid-range option featuring a 2.5K 240Hz matte display, a satisfying keyboard with one-zone RGB backlighting, and an appealing, port-rich design. The model I reviewed boasts a high-end Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. You can still secure it for $1,649.99 from Dell (regularly $1,999.99). Lower configurations start at just $1,299.

Best affordable laptop option
Acer Chromebook Plus 516 (Intel i3-1315U, 8GB RAM, 128GB UFS) – $279 at Best Buy (Save $200)

Why we recommend it
This 16-inch model is my top Chromebook under $500. Compared to similar models in its price category, it provides snappier performance, a superior 1200p display, and extended battery life. (It lasted over 14 hours in our tests; most other budget Chromebooks we’ve tested fall short of the 13-hour mark.) It’s also quite sleek for a laptop of its dimensions: Other 16-inch Windows laptops we’ve reviewed are more than a quarter of a pound heavier. Best Buy still has it available for just $279 or 42% off, marking the largest discount I’ve ever witnessed for it.
