The Best Laptop Deals for April 2024: Dell, Lenovo, Asus, and More (2024)

Farewell, Q1, we hardly knew ye. Those currently shopping for a new portable computing device are in luck because there are lots of options out there. We’ve been seeing significant discounts over at Dell during its Advancing Sustainability sale, which focuses on configurations designed for—you guessed it—environmental sustainability, and HP, which is running a Flash Sale over the weekend.

If it’s been a while since your last laptop upgrade, you’ll probably be pleased to find all the progress made in screen resolution, memory capacity, processor power (especially for Mac stans ready to step up an Apple M2 or M3 chip) and battery capability. If you’re currently locked to the nearest outlet because your old battery no longer holds a charge, many models on the market today (especially lightweight Chromebooks) can go for a full day or longer on a single charge.Check out these deals on all kinds of laptops, which you can easily take with you during your out-of-town travels for work or play:

This 2-in-1 Dell Inspiron 14 7435 sports a Ryzen 7 CPU, a 1TB SSD, and 16GB of RAM. Our expert applauded its low price and long battery life but found fault in the dim, lackluster display of a similar configuration with a lesser CPU.
