If you’re in the market for a new laptop, then the Memorial Day sales are what you need to be keeping an eye on. Right now, HP has slashed the price of the HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop by $150, bringing it down to just $900 — one of the many early HP Memorial Day sales happening now. That’s a great price for a laptop with the latest Intel Core i5 processor along with plenty of other great features. If you’re looking for a good laptop for all your productivity needs and you can’t resist the allure of a laptop that also doubles as a tablet, this is the device for you. Be quick though, as stock is sure to be strictly limited.

The HP Spectre x360 convertible laptop is a gorgeous laptop to look at. Improving even more on its looks from when we conducted our HP Spectre x360 review, the device looks super sleek while packing a lot under the hood. It utilizes the latest 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor along with 8GB of memory, 256GB of SSD storage, plus Intel Iris Xe graphics. It’s the screen that you’ll end up loving the most though.

It’s a 13.3-inch diagonal FHD touch display, which means you can use it as both a regular laptop screen and as a tablet once you switch over to tablet mode. There’s support for using a stylus with it, too, so you can really feel in control of what’s on screen. It’s ideal for performing presentations in particular. Elsewhere are other useful features such as audio from Bang & Olufsen plus you can recharge it up to 50% in just 30 minutes thanks to speedy fast charging times. There’s an unhackable webcam kill switch and microphone mute button, too, for added peace of mind.

With everything you could need from a laptop for home, school, or work, the HP Spectre x360 is ordinarily available for $1,050 but right now you can snap it up for just $900. With a saving of $150, this is a great time to treat yourself to a new laptop to improve your working or studying patterns dramatically. Expect stock to be limited though so if you want it, snap it up fast.

HP 4th of July sale: get a gaming PC with an RTX 3060 for under $950

The HP Victus 15L gaming PC on a desk.

HP has been quite impressive recently with its OMEN lineup of laptops and Desktops, and it's done a pretty great job of the Victus as well, giving you a great gaming PC for a great price. In fact, HP is even discounting it further for the 4th of July, with a $920 price tag instead of the $1,400 it usually goes for, which is a significant $480 discount.

Why you should buy the Victus by HP 15L
Under the hood, the Victus 15L runs an RTX 3060, which is a relatively powerful card, and while it won't win any awards, it's great if you want a mid-range graphics card. In fact, you'll be able to play everything from Diablo 4 to Call of Duty: Warzone with relatively good settings, although you'll likely have to give up some graphical settings for a higher framerate. Luckily, this RTX 3060 has 12 GB of VRAM, so you can use RTX DLSS to help with better graphics and higher graphical settings. The Victus 15L also has a ton of space, with a 512Gb SSD for primary storage and a 1TB HDD for secondary storage. However, the latter won't be great for AAA gaming, so keep those on the primary storage, or consider upgrading it yourself.

2-in-1 laptop deal: HP Pavilion x360 is discounted from $800 to $500

hp pavilion family refreshed intel amd cpu x360 2018

If you want a thin and light productivity laptop without paying much, you can't go wrong with the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible, especially since it's also a convertible. Luckily, HP has a great deal running right now that discounts the X360 to $ 500 from $800, so it's well worth checking out if you're interested.

Why you should buy the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible
while The Pavilion x360 Convertible doesn't quite make our list of best laptops, it comes with an Intel Core i5-1235U, a mid-range CPU that will likely be more than enough for most consumers who need to get work or schoolwork done. While it won't be able to handle more complex things like video editing, the Intel Iris XE graphics means you can do some basic graphical editing if needed. You can also upgrade to an Intel Core i7-1255U for $150, but it's likely not worth it if you want a basic laptop for work or school. What we would upgrade is the 8GB of DDR4 RAM, either to the 12GB option for $40 or the 16GB for $80, probably the latter since it will provide you with the best quality of life upgrade, but the 12GB would still be good if you don't want to pay the extra $80.
