If you need a powerful all-around machine then you won't find anything better value than this Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED for $549.99 (was $899.99). As well as 16GB of RAM and a solid 512GB SSD, it features one of the latest and super-efficient Snapdragon X Plus processors for strong performance and fantastic battery life.

Meanwhile, those after flexibility on a budget should consider this Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook for $399 (was $499) as a solid entry-level laptop for basic everyday use, light work and admin tasks. The lightweight ChromeOS means better performance with the cheaper Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM. You also get the option to use the laptop in tablet mode for a nicer experience when lazily browsing the web or watching videos.

Check out more info on both of these devices and the rest of my top picks from the current set of Best Buy laptop deals below. Most of these offers should remain available for the rest of the week until we move into Presidents' Day sales season later in February when I'll be hunting down more of the best laptop deals.

I rarely see a laptop with these specs for around $300 – especially the 16GB of RAM that'll give it a huge performance boost. Even though it was $30 cheaper at the end of last year, this is still one of the best value laptop deals available now. The rest of the components are about as expected for the price, so this device is ideal for general everyday use and light work tasks. Battery life is decent, too, at up to 12 hours.

If you want a Windows machine then this configuration of the HP 15 is an excellent buy and terrific value for money – just note it has been $30 cheaper in the past. Still, you get a capable Intel i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD to ensure excellent overall performance and enough essential speedy storage for the price. Overall, it's a great entry-level option to handle all everyday jobs, some more advanced work and light multitasking.

Want a laptop but also think you'd appreciate the flexibility of a tablet? Why not both? This Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook offers a lot of versatility and decent overall performance for light use and everyday tasks. Plus, you can flip it to tablet mode at any time to make web browsing or watching videos even more comfortable. The less demanding ChromeOS ensures cheaper entry-level components such as the Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM go further. It also means that battery life is considerably improved compared to Windows machines, with up to 10 hours available on a single charge.

A laptop with this amount of power and at this sort of price with an OLED screen is a rare find, so if you desire top-tier image quality for photo/video editing or watching TV and movies then this is a very strong buy.

I've seen that 2-in-1 laptops usually come at a premium price for the added flexibility, so the fact that this modern and high-performance model has a huge $400 discount is not to be ignored. This Dell Inspiron 14 has a powerful Intel Core 7 processor and 16GB of RAM for excellent overall performance, as well as a large 1TB SSD for storage. Altogether, that's a lot of power in a versatile machine that makes it great for all your computing needs, plus the tablet mode is ideal for doodlers, watching videos, or lazily browsing on the sofa or in bed.
