I search the web almost every week and pick out the best laptop deals that are available and worth buying for multiple budgets and needs. There's usually a small selection at any one time, but Amazon is in the middle of a big laptop sale right now with dozens of great devices to choose from. I'm here to help narrow them down, with the seven top laptop deals I recommend at the mega-retailer.

The first and best option for most is this affordable Asus Vivobook 15 for $259.99 (was $329.99). It's a great price for a standard everyday laptop that will easily handle your basic computing needs, such as web browsing, sending emails, light admin work, streaming media and more.

If you're after more power then you've got several good options. The highlight is the MacBook Air M2 for $849 (was $1,049), which is a return to the record-low price for Apple's highly-rated premium laptop. For those who would prefer a Windows machine, this Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro is down to $919.99 (was $1,449.99) - that's another lowest-ever price for a slick and powerful laptop with a stellar AMOLED display.

Find all of these offers and more below, including a super-cheap Chromebook and budget gaming laptop that I've picked out from the Amazon sale.

If you're in the market for a cheap Windows laptop for all of your day-to-day needs then Amazon has this Asus Vivobook 15 on sale for a little under $300. With an AMD Ryzen 3 processor and 8GB of RAM, it offers a decent level of performance for everyday use, basic work tasks, and video calls. The 128GB SSD is small but that's enough storage space for your most important files and applications. A bevvy of ports, lightweight design, and reasonable battery life round out this solid portable machine for the price.

Asus ZenBook Pro 14 Duo: was $2,299.99 now $1,899.99 at Amazon
We wrote that this device is a "content creator's dream" in our Asus ZenBook Pro 14 Duo review, so if that's you, then don't miss your chance to get it for a record-low price. The laptop sports a unique dual-screen design with one main 14-inch OLED display and a thinner touchscreen to aid productivity and multitasking. It's a beast in terms of raw power, too, with a top-end Intel i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and a dedicated GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card to aid with photo and video editing, as well as other creative tasks.
