Best laptop deals under $300

Why we like it

This 15.6-inch traditional laptop from Dell comes equipped with an 11th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage, which are specs you rarely see in the sub-$300 price range. (Most cheap, entry-level PCs have pokey Intel Core N Series CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and sluggish eMMC flash storage that caps out at 128GB.) When you factor in its 1080p display and a decent selection of ports, it’s a stellar pick for basic everyday multitasking.

This 15.6-inch ASUS laptop has an unheard-of storage capacity for its current price point: a whole terabyte. Other spec highlights include an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 processor with 8GB of RAM, Intel Iris Xe graphics, a fingerprint sensor, and a sleek NanoEdge display.

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.

A 2022 release, the 17.3-inch Alienware x17 R2 is a hefty gaming laptop that’s a great pick for gamers who value tons of power over portability — and can afford it. “If money is truly no object, this machine will impress with both style and performance,” says PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis). Dell’s current deal on the high-end 1TB model with a 12th-gen Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics takes a welcome $2,000 chunk off its $3,999.99 MSRP (50% off!) that makes it a bit more reasonable for the average gamer.
