We've got discounts listed below on laptops from HP, Lenovo, Apple and others, with some of our favorite models discounted right now.

We'll keep updating this page throughout both sales, so be sure to check back often for the best prices live. Best July 4th laptop deals Apple MacBook Air M4 (13-inch): $849 The M4 MacBook Air is the latest model in Apple's lightweight lineup and our overall favorite laptop on the market right now. The basic model comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and there are plenty of more advanced configurations also on sale -- including the 15-inch model for people who prefer a larger display.

Details Save $350 $750 at HP Close More July 4th sales and laptop deals: Should you shop July 4th laptop deals or wait until Prime Day? Unfortunately, there's no guarantee of which event will offer better prices. In reality, the Fourth of July and Prime Day sales are blurring into one massive shopping event that spans multiple days and retailers. With that in mind, we'd lean toward getting your order in sooner rather than later. While there's a slight chance we'll see prices dip a little lower later in the sale, there's a much greater chance that the best bargains will sell out fairly early. If you see a laptop that fits your needs and budget for several hundred dollars off, we'd recommend grabbing it before it goes out of stock. Which retailers offer the best July 4th laptop deals? As you might expect, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will be offering some excellent deals for the Fourth of July weekend and for Prime Day. You'll also want to check out smaller online-only retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, as they may be offering some under-the-radar bargains that aren't being matched elsewhere. Plus, brands like HP and Acer are offering some direct deals of their own. What else is on sale for July 4th? There is a huge variety of deals that you can shop across retailers for the Fourth of July. These include tons of top tech like TVs and laptops, as well as tons of home goods and big-ticket items like mattresses and major appliances. There are also plenty of seasonal deals on things like grills, outdoor gear and other summer essentials. To give you a good idea of what's out there, you can check out our full roundup of all the best Fourth of July deals still available. How we choose the best July 4th laptop deals Many of us at CNET have covered shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless others. We've become good at weeding out scams and superficial deals, so you'll see only the best offers on our lists. When choosing laptop deals, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time. Our team of experts has tested hundreds of laptops to ensure we're bringing you the best options at the best prices. Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, including laptops. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know up front so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.

Best Buy Slashes $120 Off Our Top Two-in-One Chromebook for July 4th
Why choose between a laptop and a tablet when you can get the best of both worlds? The versatile Lenovo Duet is our favorite two-in-one Chromebook on the market, and you can grab one at an amazing price during Best Buy's Fourth of July sale. The tech retailer has reduced this basic model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage to just $279, a $120 savings compared to the usual price. If you want some more advanced hardware, Lenovo also has a configuration with 8GB of RAM on sale for $350, which is a $50 discount. This 11-inch tablet has a 2K LCD touchscreen display, as well as a detachable magnetic keyboard, so it also doubles as a laptop. It's a Chromebook, so the hardware is pretty basic and designed primarily for web-based basics like checking emails and scrolling social media. However, it still has a 5MP front camera and an 8MP rear camera for video calls. It is highly portable, though, weighing just 510g and measuring 7.6mm thick for easy transport just about anywhere. We wouldn't recommend it as your primary laptop but if you're looking for a sleek and lightweight travel companion, it's a solid bargain. Best 4th of July Laptop Deals Ready for a laptop upgrade? Shop the best July 4th deals on laptops from Apple, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung and more before time runs out. See Now Why this deal matters Chromebooks are excellent for those on a tight budget who only need the basics and the Lenovo Duet is one of our favorite models on the market.
