We absolutely loved the HP Spectre x360 14 when we reviewed it earlier this year, and it’s enjoying a $350 price cut at HP right now as part of the continuing back to school laptop sales. Normally priced at $1,850, it’s down to $1,500 for a limited time when you buy directly from HP. It’s always good to see a discount on a laptop that we love, making it an easy recommendation to make. For anyone seeking a stylish 2-in-1 laptop that’s also a fantastic price, this is one of the best laptop deals we’ve seen in recent times. Have a read below while we break down everything it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1

As our HP Spectre x360 review explains, we utterly adored it. The model we checked out there is the same one that’s on sale so we can confidently stand by that 4.5 out of 5 star review. We only had two criticisms — that there’s no discrete GPU option and that it’s a bit expensive. The latter is less of an issue now, due to the sale price, but gamers will still need to look elsewhere.

It’s hardly surprising that the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 ranks highly in our look at the best 2-in-1 laptops. With this model, there’s an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor along with 16GB of memory and a huge 2TB of SSD storage. It’s well-designed for anyone working on the move, as you have plenty of space for storing all your files.

While that screen might feel a little small to those used to monitors, it’s actually utterly gorgeous to look at. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in quality as it’s a 2.8K OLED touchscreen with 2880 x 1800 resolution. It also has a variable refresh rate between 48Hz and 120Hz, so it’s silky smooth to use even if you’re watching an action movie. The screen is packed with other extras too, like 400 nits of brightness in SDR or 500 nits in HDR, while there’s 100% DCI-P3 color support, 0.2ms response time, and anti-reflection Corning Gorilla Glass NBT. It all looks great whether you’re browsing online, typing up a document, or using it in tablet mode to take in a show.

HP is one of the best laptop brands because it keeps on adding cool things. There’s a fingerprint reader on the keyboard, and you get up to 17 hours of battery life when watching a video or 13 hours during regular use. Even its webcam is pretty high-end, being a 9MP HP Wide Vision IR camera with camera shutter, temporal noise reduction, and integrated dual digital microphones. For someone looking for a flexible solution, the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop is sure to be one of the best laptops.

As big fans of the HP Spectre x360 2-in-1, we’re delighted to see it on sale at HP. It normally costs $1,850, but right now you can buy it from HP for $1,500. The $360 saving won’t be around for long given it’s one of HP’s weekly deals, so be sure to buy it sooner rather than later if it appeals to you.

Snag this massive 51% discount on HP’s 16-inch Pavilion laptop
The HP Pavilion 16t laptop with a colorful screen.

Even though 15.6-inch laptops tend to be the most common size, there's been a big push recently on 16-inch laptops, which makes sense given that they come with a larger and more convenient screen. One great example is the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t, and if you've been wanting to buy a 16-inch laptop, then this one might be a good option for you. Even more so considering the whopping $569 discount you get from HP directly, bringing the price down to $450 from the original $1,019.

Why you should buy the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t
Even at base specs, the HP Pavilion Laptop 16t is pretty solid, as is the Intel Core 5 120U, which is a mid-range CPU that can handle day-to-day and productivity tasks with relative ease. If you know you need a bit more processing power, you can bump it up to an Intel Core 7 150U, but that means that you will also need to bump up the screen to a 2K OLED model, which adds $340 to the price. While the base specification comes with an FHD resolution panel that can hit 300 nits, if you plan to watch a lot of content, it's probably worth the upgrade, and you still get a discount off the full price, which is nice.

Snag Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 laptop with a $1,602 discount

While there are a lot of great business laptops on the market, one of the most iconic probably has to be Lenovo's ThinkPad lineup. Of course, they tend to be quite expensive, but luckily, this ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 has a substantial discount of $1,602 directly from Lenovo. That brings it down to $1,957 from its original $3,559, which is substantial, but it is also worth noting that Lenovo tends to overstate the estimated value of the ThinkPad X1 Carbons. That means that the real discount isn't really that high, although the price you end up with is still pretty solid for one of the best laptops on the market when it comes to business needs.

Why you should buy the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 comes with a 14-inch screen, which makes the overall package very small, and with the 2.48-pound weight, it's pretty easy to carry around with you if you travel a lot. The screen runs a solid 1920 x 1200 resolution, but can hit 400 nits of peak brightness, so you can use pretty much anywhere that doesn't include direct sunlight. You'll also appreciate the 1080P FHD IR camera, which is perfect for those who need to have meetings regularly on the go or when working from home.
