Best laptop PC deals for holiday 2020

Holiday laptop deals are in full swing, and as Christmas and the winter holidays approach we’re looking for the best laptop PC deals and other discounts for online shopping.

We’re checking for new sales daily, and we’ll keep adding to the list below as more great PC laptop deals emerge. For the most part, we avoid laptops, tablets, or Chromebooks that are capped at 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Typically, we’re looking for deals with 8GB of RAM and at least 256GB of storage, plus a 9th-gen or 10th-gen processor. Here are the best deals we’ve found.

Best Amazon laptop deals

Best Dell laptop deals

Best Microsoft Store laptop deals

Microsoft traditionally sells its Surface hardware at a discount around the holidays, including bundles. Microsoft also sells a number of third-party PCs, including models from Acer, Dell, Lenovo, and more.

Surface Pro 7 (Platinum/Core i5/8GB RAM/256GB SSD)Remove non-product link: $899.99 (25% off)

We also think that these deals on third-party laptops Microsoft sells are worth your time, too.
