While smartphones and tablets have made staying connected more portable than ever, it’s hard to beat the performance of a laptop, especially if you’re doing more than streaming or scrolling. Plus, some convertible laptops offer the functionality of a tablet, while still being able to provide a full workstation when needed. Right now Amazon has slashed prices on new laptops from Acer and Asus by up to 36%. If you’ve been considering upgrading your current laptop, now is a great time to shop.  

If you’re looking for a laptop that can handle just about anything you throw at it, check out Acer’s Swift 5. It comes equipped with an Intel i7 processor, Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It also has a 14-inch screen with 2,560×1,600 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It even sports Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. Amazon has cut the price by $350, meaning you’ll pay just $1,200 during this sale.

And if you enjoy tablets, but want a full workstation, consider the Acer Spin 5. This convertible laptop comes with an Active Stylus for note-taking, drawing and other detail oriented work. It also boasts a full terabyte of SSD storage and 16GB of RAM, along with the same screen resolution and aspect ratio on the Swift 5. Both are solid options for the average person. And this convertible option comes in at just $1,149 — that’s $51 cheaper than the Swift 5 and $231 cheaper than it usually lists for.

While having ample storage is always a nice bonus, sometimes you have to balance that with the price you want to spend. If you’re looking for something a little cheaper, the Acer Aspire Vero offers 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage, along with a 15.6-inch screen — and you’ll only pay $510 for it. That’s a savings of $190. With all of the cloud storage options available these days, it may be worth the trade. It also comes with a protective storage sleeve for when you need to take it with you. And this laptop is eco-friendly, featuring post-consumer recycled plastic in its build. 

But if you want the most budget-friendly option available, you can snag the Asus Vivobook Go 12 L210 laptop for just $200 right now. That’s a 20% discount. It’s fairly small, though, with only an 11.6-inch screen. However, it does get up to 12 hours of battery life and has a number pad integrated into the trackpad, so it’s a good choice if you’re on the go and need a solid travel option or you have a student that doesn’t want to lug around a full-size laptop. Note, however that this computer only comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, plus it runs Windows 11 Home in S mode, so if you’re shopping for a primary computer, you may want to look at one of the other devices. 

The Acer Aspire 5 has the same operating system, as well as storage and memory specs, but it comes with a full 15.6-inch screen. And at 36% off, you’ll pay just $320, which might make it the better choice if you need to type and do other types of work on a more frequent basis.
