Prime Day 2024: Score an HP Chromebook for $200, plus other sweet laptop deals

Though it was released a couple of years ago, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins and doesn't skimp on power thanks to its M2 chip. This is the lowest price this Mac has ever been and one of the best Prime Day deals we've seen this year.

"Eighteen hours of battery life is not just marketing. The speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would," raved one shopper. "The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none."

This is a feather-light machine that's easy to take on the go. At nearly 30% off, it's one heck of a bargain — especially since it's closing in on the lowest price we've ever seen. As with the above unit, almost all of your work will take place in the cloud. If you need to do anything on the laptop itself, we suggest an external drive. With only 32GB of memory, you won't have a lot of space for file storage. 

Multiple reviewers have said this little computer is perfect for students and younger children, and plenty of others said they use it as a home computer. Most of all, they love that it's "inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to use." 

This midrange option sports several appealing features, which are all the more appealing given its $300 price tag. While we have seen it go 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 additional purchase, it's still a terrific choice for a student or someone who wants a laptop for day-to-day use.

In fact, our tech editor Rick Broida named it one of the best laptops of 2024. He said, "This machine should handle most mainstream computing tasks with no trouble." 

If you're in the market for a versatile gaming laptop that won't break the bank, the HP Victus is a midrange machine that can handle almost any modern game on at least medium settings. The high refresh rate makes it a great option for esports titles like League of Legends or Overwatch, and it has a large enough drive to store multiple games at once. Oh, and did we mention this is currently the lowest price on record? 

Gaming laptops are notoriously expensive (and also pretty niche), but this one strikes a fine balance between price and performance.

Say it with me, Tim Allen-style: "More power!" If you need a laptop that can stand up to the rigors of a heavy workload, this '23 model is an excellent option. Loaded with powerful components that can handle anything you throw at it, this is a powerhouse for those with a lot to do who need a computer that can keep up.

This 10% discount might not seem like much, but $200 is nothing to sneeze at. Between the large amount of storage and blazing-fast RAM, you're getting lots of bang for you buck. 

Although not technically a Chromebook, this laptop is closer to a Chromebook than a fully-featured computer. With its low RAM and limited storage, most of your tasks will be performed in the cloud. The most appealing part? This is an all-time low for this laptop. 

Fans have praised a lot about this machine, from its clear display to the ease of use. Other fans say the speakers are great for listening to music or watching content, but this is definitely not a gaming laptop. 

This already-affordable laptop has dropped to an even more reasonable price for day two of Prime Day — down to its lowest price ever, in fact! It's thin, lightweight and capable of producing an impressive amount of power. Expect up to 12 hours of battery life and know your privacy is secure with the sliding camera shutter. 

Fans like the computer for a lot of reasons, but impressively enough, it seems to handle lightweight games well: "I play games from The Sims franchise as well as chill games like Stardew Valley and Dinkum so I have to use A LOT of mods and cc and it runs better than I expected on this."
