Cheap laptop deals often stumble on one key component - RAM. It's easy to find laptops for as little as $200, but often you'll be working with only 4GB or even 2GB of RAM. If you want seamless multi-tasking, a whole suite of different software systems and a lightning-fast computer, you not only need a processor that's up to the task, but enough RAM to support it as well.
Thankfully, this week's laptop deals from HP are offering up far more RAM than you would usually find at these price points. RAM can be an expensive component, so machines offering 12GB and 16GB configurations can often run you into the $700 - $900 range. The laptop deals below, however, won't cost you more than $600 and offer the power under the hood to handle heavier workflows and more demanding programs.
These are machines for more power-intensive users, so if you're looking for a laptop for everyday browsing or lighter work, you'll be better off picking up a machine with a more reserved configuration. A 128GB SSD, i3 processor, and 8GB RAM are the baseline specs you'll be after for this purpose, and you'll find plenty more laptop deals right here on TechRadar.
