Personal laptops are a pretty big investment, whether you’re buying a Windows machine, a MacBook, or a Chromebook. If you’re looking to upgrade (or if your old computer is overheating or lagging), the Memorial Day weekend sales are a fantastic time to grab big savings on the latest and greatest laptops. From gaming laptops to 2-in-1s and more, there are some great discounts.

Keep in mind that these deals expire or can sell out at any time, so it’s best to grab what you need sooner rather than later. Remember, the next sales event — Amazon’s Prime Day — doesn’t happen until July. If you can’t wait that long for a new laptop, take advantage of these Memorial Day deals.

How we pick the best Memorial Day laptop deals

Many of us at CNET have been covering shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day, and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten good at weeding out scams and shady deals, so you’ll only see the best deals in our listings.

We look for real discounts, quality reviews and time left on sale when choosing laptop deals to show you. We have a team of experts who have tested hundreds of laptops to make sure we offer you the best options at the best prices.

• Real discounts mean just that. We look at the price history for this product to make sure no brand is inflating prices to make the discount seem more significant than it is.
• Quality reviews and tests are important for any product, including laptops. If you’re not happy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn’t worth it.
• Remaining time to sell is a huge part of our vetting process. If it looks like a deal will only be available for a short time, or will only be available for remaining stock, we’ll let you know in advance so you don’t return to the deal later only to be disappointed.
