We all love laptops, but we do not like the price tag that is attached to it. But ever since Amazon came into existence, there is always a laptop deal going on.
But, let's just be honest. We all want the best bang for the buck, because it is our hard earned money. And in this digital era, we don't want to sit in the corner of our houses to use the computer, we want to use it everywhere we go. And these types of deals are the best way to make sure that we are saving as much money as we can, while still having some great computing experience.
So without any further ado, here are the top 3 laptop deals on Amazon that you simply cannot afford to miss:
1. HP Stream 11
Price: $199
Deals: Get a free year of Office 365 by going here.
It looks cute and some productivity can definitely be achieved through it. But let's see what's under that hood and whether it can be useful for our needs.

2GB DDR3L SDRAM
32GB Solid State Drive along with 1TB One Drive Cloud Storage for one year
1 USB 3.0, 1 USB 2.0, 1HDMI port and 1 headphone/microphone combo
The organs of this laptop doesn't look bad for a person who plans to use this laptop for creating presentations, writing documents and just surfing around the web, watching YouTube videos.
Pros:
- Great processor for light writing and internet work
- Great for watching movies/TV shows online
Cons:
- Simply not capable of handling heavy tasks
- Cannot work on too many things simultaneously because of the weak processor and less RAM.
2. HP Stream 13
Price: $219
Deals: Save $20 here.
HP has managed to lock 2 top best deal spots on this list.
Here's a spoiler: This laptop has the same technical specifications. The only difference is the screen size.
I won't be mentioning all the specifications again, you'll be getting a 13 inch screen, whereas with the previous laptop, you were getting an 11 inch screen. It's your choice. [If you want to watch a lot of YouTube videos, then you should go with this one because it will give you a better experience. But if you already watch movies on your smartphone, then you shouldn't be needing a laptop either.]
Pros:
- Bigger screen than HP Stream 11
Cons:
- Same as HP Stream 11
3. ASUS X551MAV-EB01-B (S) Notebook PC
Price: $249
Yes, that's some fancy number assigned to this laptop. Lets see what type of organs does this laptop has and whether they will be sufficient for our needs.
- Latest Gen Intel Dual-Core Celeron 2.16 GHz Processor
- 500 GB Hard Drive
- 4GB RAM
- 64-bit Windows 8.1
- 15.6-inch HD Display
- Web camera
- SD Card Reader
- USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, Ethernet port
Pros:
- Bigger screen than other laptops in this list
- Windows 8.1 included
- Can be used for light work and surfing the internet
Cons:
- Cannot handle tasks that require intermediate or heavy processing power and/or consume a lot of RAM
This one certainly packs a lot of things in it but again, the main things that come into play for tasks like video editing, animation or even gaming, are better processors, more RAM, graphics and space too. So, if you're not planning to do some heavy tasks, then you should be good to go with this one. And with a larger screen, it definitely has an upper hand against other laptops in this list.
