A big part of this weekend’s Best Buy Presidents’ Day sale is its vast array of laptop deals. I track offers across all sorts of devices here at TechRadar and some I’ve found at the retailer today are the best I’ve seen in weeks. You can check out my 12 top picks below, including discounts on cheap Chromebooks and record-low prices for premium Microsoft Surface devices.

The real highlight for me is this brand-new five-star-rated Microsoft Surface Laptop for $749.99 (was $999.99). It started at $899.99 earlier in the week and has been slashed multiple times to reach this new low price.
Our expert testers think it’s the best laptop you can buy as it’s a powerful and modern machine that boasts a Snapdragon X Plus processor and 16GB of RAM for high performance and handy all-day battery life. Storage is a little underwhelming at 256GB, but that’s enough for the essential files and applications you need.
You’re also spoilt for choice if you want a more basic and cheaper option. The one I think is best in this price range is the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 for $279 (was $399).
This efficient and great-value laptop uses the less demanding ChromeOS so you can eke out better performance and battery life with cheaper components. It’s still well-built, though, with an Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM that are best suited for light use such as general browsing and everyday tasks.
You can read more on both of these laptops and the rest of my top picks from the Best Buy Presidents’ Day sale below. These offers should remain available for the rest of the weekend and through Monday until the end of the retailer’s sale so you’ve only got a few more days to secure a bargain.
