These Are the Best Laptop Deals I've Seen During Amazon's Big Spring Sale

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is in full swing this week. If you take a look at the "Laptops" section of Amazon's Big Spring Sale page, you'll find seemingly endless options available at a discount. That doesn't mean these are all deals worth considering, however. There are a lot of laptops out there, and not all of them going to be right for you (or most people). As such, I've looked at Amazon's wares, and found some deals that really seem worth considering.

A rule of thumb with deals like these: If you've never heard of the company before, be extremely cautious. There are laptop manufacturers that have been in the game for years, and know how to ship a product that works. If you see a huge discount on a laptop from a no-name company, that should be a red flag. That's not to say all start-ups and new companies should be avoided; just do your research before buying a computer.

M4 15-inch MacBook Air

If you're in the market for a large yet portable laptop, the MacBook Air is a great buy. While Apple's newest model has the M5 chip, the M4 version is more than capable to buy instead—especially when you can save some money.

During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, you can pick up the 15-inch M4 MacBook Air for $1,149. That's $150 cheaper than the M5 version. You still get the same 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and a chip that Apple will likely support for years to come. (The company still supports M1, which came out in 2020.) If you're set on the M5 MacBook Air, consider saving a bit by going through Apple's education store.

Samsung 16-inch Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360

If you need a large, thin and light laptop that runs Windows 11, this Copilot+ PC from Samsung might suit you. The 16-inch Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 has an Intel Core 7 Ultra processor with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage—double that of the MacBook Air above. It also has a touchscreen 3K AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The integrated graphics won't get you far for gaming, but if you need a capable machine for school, work, or personal use, this is a great all-around machine.

HP EliteBook 6 G1i

Let's up the ante a bit. This HP EliteBook comes with a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's potentially overkill for most students and workers, but it does mean that this machine is a multitasker's dream. (You'll likely never run out of Chrome tabs.) It comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor with a 1TB PCIe SSD for storage. The 16-inch IPS display is lower-res than the other laptops I've noted so far, as its only a 1200p panel. That's just a bit more pixels than you'd find in a 1080p display: Not bad, but not 3K or 4K. That said, if you can live with the compromises on the screen, this machine will handle most things you throw at it—at 32% off its original list price.

ASUS TUF F16

If you're looking for something to game on that won't break the bank, this ASUS TUF laptop might be a solid choice. This machine comes with 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 4.6GHz Intel Core i5 13450HX processor, and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card. It also comes with a 16-inch LED display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz, so you'll be able to boost the frame rates of your games. This isn't the most powerful gaming laptop out there by any means, but at 23% off ($999.99), it's worth considering.

ASUS ROG Strix G18

If you want to push your games a bit further, take a look at the ASUS ROG Strix G18. This 18-inch laptop has an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX chip, a dedicated GeForce RTX 5050 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That 18-inch display has a 1080p resolution, and refresh rate of 144Hz—plenty for high refresh rate gaming. This one will cost nearly $400 more than the TUF, but you're getting a bit more for your money—and you're saving 18% off the list price.

Lenovo Legion 5i

Let's take a look at one more gaming laptop—this time, with a more powerful Intel chip. Lenovo's Legion 5i comes with an Intel Core i7 17000HX chip, a dedicated GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It comes with a 1600p 15-inch OLED, which is the sharpest and highest contrast of any of the gaming laptops listed here. That's excellent for both games, as well for watching shows and movies. Like the TUF F16, this has a 165 Hz refresh rate. That's why this machine is typically listed at $1,699.99, but is currently $230 off.
