     Samsung GalaxyBook 4 Edge

     Price on sale: $899.99 (usually $1,349.99)

     Save $350 on this contemporary laptop with Best Buy’s sale. For the price, you get the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and 16 GB of memory. The Samsung Galaxy Book4 comes with 512 GB of storage, which is suitable for most business cases, including some photo editing. If you want to use Microsoft’s Copilot AI features, you can do that — including using the upcoming, controversial Recall timeline.

   • Fast performance
   • Seamlessly connects to Samsung Galaxy phones
   • Powerful new AI features

     Apple MacBook Air 2024

     Price on sale: $929 (usually $1,099)

     The latest version of the reliable, versatile MacBook is 15% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to $929 from over $1,000. Apple has found success lately with the M3 chip for speed, performance, and the upcoming generative AI Apple Intelligence, which the 2024 MacBook Air will support in the fall.

     Pros

   • Long-lasting
   • Contemporary artificial intelligence features
   • Made to support heavier-duty graphics programs such as Adobe Creative Cloud

     Cons

   • Relatively low memory and storage compared to some other business-focused laptops, although still well within modern expectations

     Aspire Go 14 Laptop

     Price on sale: $299.99 (usually $349.99)

     The Acer Aspire Go 14 is a dependable, entry-level laptop that you can get for $50 off at the brand name today. It’s an ideal laptop for students or casual business use, with reviewers saying that while the Acer Aspire Go doesn’t do anything extraordinarily well, it does everything competently.

     Pros

     HP Victus 15.6

     Price on sale: $599 (usually $979)

     Walmart has taken $390 off the price of this 2024 gaming laptop. The HP Victus boasts up to 11 hours of battery, an AMD CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics, and a 144Hz refresh rate. While it’s optimized for gaming, this laptop’s speed and visuals wouldn’t hurt during video conferences or when creating graphics for work, either.

     Pros

   • Fast, powerful performance
   • Vivid graphics
   • Robust cooling fans to keep the temperature down even during heavy-duty workloads

     Cons

   • Some reviewers say the battery life is not as long as advertised
   • Some reviewers urge caution when using Walmart’s delivery service

     Apple 2022 MacBook Air

     Price on sale: $849 (usually $999)

     We recommended two MacBooks this month, both at similar discounts. I’ve been using MacBooks and MacBook Airs at home for a while, impressed by their longevity, the integration with the Apple ecosystem, and the low rate of bugs and crashes. There isn’t much difference between the 2022 and 2024 versions, except for $80 and the previous-generation proprietary Apple chip.

     Pros

   • Slim and light
   • Up to 18 hours battery life
   • Impressive sound quality with Spatial Audio

     Cons

   • You can get a newer model for almost the same price
