It's very rare that we recommend a five year old laptop, but this MacBook Air is a lot of computer for the price. It's $50 off where we've seen it the rest of the year, and $400 off the price it was when it launched back in 2020. Look, it's almost five years old, and if you can afford the extra $250, it's well worth buying the M4 MacBook Air instead, but if you're on a tight budget, this is probably the best laptop you can buy at this price.
The Surface Pro 11th Edition offers great performance and battery life to match its excellent design and build quality. A true iPad Pro alternative for Windows users. With the latest Surface Pro keyboard, you can now even work while disconnected from the device.
The Asus Chromebook CX15 is quite nice for this price. Its bezels aren’t overly large, and the keyboard feels great to type on. This deals nets you 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The 1080p, 15-inch screen is nice and bright and easy to see.

No one needs an iPad, but they're fun to have. These days, with support for conventional windowing (finally), you can justify it by saying you'll do some work on it. After you get done watching movies, thumbing through your social feeds, and messing around with Garageband.
