If you're looking for a machine that can just cover the basics, then this 14-inch Chromebook is easily one of the cheapest ways to do so. OK, so an Intel Celeron chipset and 4GB of RAM isn't exactly world-beating in terms of power, but you really don't need much to run a Chromebook.

Best Buy has just posted a great deal for the latest Apple MacBook Air 13 — an excellent laptop by all accounts. With an impressive $150 discount, this deal addresses our main complaint with the M5 Air: namely, that it's pricier than the previous model. Now, you're getting the latest chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a bigger 512GB SSD for much less, with a price that arguably challenges even the budget MacBook Neo when it comes to outright value. Note that this machine has been $50 cheaper before, but Best Buy's trade-in program is particularly good for getting a much cheaper device. View Deal
