If traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine, the smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. It’s only 8.3 inches wide, and it’s compact enough to hold with just one hand. Grab it for the lowest price it’s ever been.
“I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this. The mini is so cute and it fits in my medium-size purse. There’s nothing it can’t do that the newer or bigger ones can’t. Easy to travel with. Easy to use and high performance,” wrote one fan.

This unit is incredibly thin and light, so it’s great for anyone on the go. It has a lot of power (8GB of RAM) despite its small size, and the discount is nothing to sneeze at, either — especially for a MacBook.
“I am in love with this laptop,” said one reviewer. “[It’s] a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. … The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. … Would recommend completely!”

If you’ve been eyeing the MacBook Air but want a bit more screen to work with, voila. This model takes everything you love about the 13-inch version and supersizes it, giving you more room to get things done, making multitasking, streaming and even photo editing way more engaging. And thanks to an upgraded six-speaker system, the sound quality gets a nice bump, too.
Even with the extra screen real estate, the 15-inch Air keeps that trademark slim, lightweight feel. Not surprisingly, its battery life is longer too, and the price jump is pretty reasonable considering what you’re getting in return.

Although not technically a Chromebook, this laptop is closer to one than it is to a fully featured computer. With less RAM and limited storage, most of your tasks will be performed in the cloud — but at this price, that’s just fine when you just need the basics!
Fans have praised a lot about this machine, from its clear display to ease of use. Others say the speakers are great for listening to music or watching shows (but they stress that you’ll need something more powerful for gaming).

This midrange option sports several appealing features, which are all the more appealing given its $280 price tag. While we have seen this laptop go a bit lower, this is still a great deal. It’s got enough storage and RAM for basic use and, though its 128GB of storage suggests a flash drive might be a wise purchase, it’s still a terrific choice for a student or someone who wants a laptop for day-to-day use.
Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida named it one of Yahoo’s best laptops of 2024, saying it “should handle most mainstream computing tasks with no trouble.”
