It’s very easy to spend thousands of dollars on some of the best laptops money can buy, but the reality is that very few of us need to choose such a powerful machine. Instead, there are plenty of great alternatives that won’t break the bank — and right now one of them costs even less thanks to a huge discount being offered by Best Buy.
This Best Buy deal gets you the Asus Vivbook 16-inch laptop for just $399, a price that saves you a huge $351 off the original asking price of $750. You won’t be asked to enter a discount code or clip a coupon to get that special price, but you do need to act soon. Best Buy says this deal only has a matter of hours left so order now to avoid disappointment.
In terms of specifications, this budget laptop has more than enough to get the job done. The large 16-inch display has a 1600×768 resolution and is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS SPI and 12GB of RAM. The 512GB SSD is fast and spacious, while the whole thing is wrapped in a rather lovely “Quiet Blue” finish.
Software-wise, you’ll get a laptop running Windows 11 Home which adds a refreshed look over the already familiar Windows 10, with a 30-day trial of Windows Office 365 also thrown in. (And you can always nab a cheap Microsoft Office deal once that trial runs out). Overall, this is a great laptop for taking to school, working from home, and so much more.
