If you don’t really have the space to fit a whole desktop computer, then you may want to consider going for an all-in-one (AIO) solution; it will save you a ton of space, plus you don’t have to go out and buy each part individually. Luckily, there are some great early Memorial Day deals on AIO solutions you can take advantage of, such as this deal on the HP All-in-One 27, which usually goes for $850 but has been discounted down to just $450. That makes it an excellent budget pick if you just want something for the basics and don’t expect to do any complex tasks on it, like graphical rendering.

Why you should buy the HP All-in-One 27

While the HP All-in-One 27 might not be as powerful as an iMac, it does have similar dimensions, with a large 27-inch screen and a surprisingly tiny bezel, which is actually a bit smaller than the iMac’s.The screen runs a 1920 x 1080 resolution and can hit a peak brightness of 300 nits, which will be fine for a well-lit room, and you can upgrade it to a touch version for $200, but it’s probably not worth it in the long run. Under the hood, you’ll find an Intel Core i3-1315U, an entry-level CPU that should handle most basic tasks just fine, although we’d probably suggest upgrading to the Intel Core i5-1335U for an extra $125, which will give you a lot more versatility and quality of life.

Similarly, the 8GB of memory is fine for basic usage, but since Windows likes to take a nice chunk of the RAM, we’d strongly suggest upgrading to at least 12GB for an extra $60, although 16GB is probably the ideal. Base storage is not too bad at 256GB, although, again, the upgrade to 512GB will certainly be worth it, and at just $40, it’s easy to justify, with the other alternative being grabbing one of these external hard drive deals instead. HP also throws in a wired keyboard and mouse, and you have a pretty solid internal webcam for meetings, so you won’t have to purchase a separate one.

All in all, the HP All-in-One 27 is easy to recommend because it really comes with all the basics that you need, plus some room to customize if you want a bit more power. The whopping $400 does give you a bit of wiggle room if you want to upgrade, although if you’re looking for something a little different, there are other great desktop computer deals you can check out.

Laptop deals with discounts of more than 50% are very capable of attracting the attention of shoppers, but not all of them are worth it. B&H's offer for the HP Dragonfly Pro will be worth it though, with the device's price all the way down to $619 following a $780 discount on its original price of $1,399. The savings are planned to remain online until October 30, but because of the limited supply for this bargain, we're not sure if it will stay available that long. If you want to get this laptop for less than half-price, we highly recommend making the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the HP Dragonfly Pro laptop
The specifications of the HP Dragonfly Pro give it enough to challenge the performance of the best laptops. It's equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 7736U processor and integrated AMD Radeon 680M Graphics, alongside 16GB of RAM that our guide on how much RAM do you need says is on the level of top-tier devices. The laptop also ships with a 512GB SSD for ample storage, and it comes with Windows 11 Home pre-loaded. Its 14-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate may be somewhat disappointing, but for productivity-focused people who don't need extreme sharpness and very realistic colors, the display will be good enough.

Why you should buy the HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e printer
Best designed for anyone looking for a home office printer, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e printer is a great option. It offers printing, scanning, copying, and faxing (remember that?). It can print up to 20 pages per minute in black or 10 pages per minute in color. It also has auto two-sided printing along with an auto document feeder. There’s a 225 sheet input tray so it’s all fairly hands off once you set it up, as you'd expect from one of the best printer brands.

Being able to buy a laptop with such a huge screen for this price is pretty great. In the past, we’ve described the Victus range as a “new gaming brand [making] its mark” and this is a good example of what HP has accomplished in recent years. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop, we think you’ll like this one. Read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 16 gaming laptop
We reviewed a slightly different HP Victus 16 in 2022, but since then HP has gone from strength to strength. Crucially, the two models share a similar design. This HP Victus 16 also has a backlit keyboard with white lighting and it feels “great ... with deep travel and very snappy switches that provide excellent responsiveness for both gamers and productivity users.” It also has a larger touchpad, and the minimalist design looks eye catching with its V logo on the back.
