Finding the best deal on an HP laptop can be a challenging experience. There are many different models and configurations to choose from, including a large variety of features, sizes, prices, and other options. There is also the question of when to buy them so that you ensure you’re getting the best available deals at the right time. If you’re looking for the best deals on HP laptops, we’re here to help.
Read on to find out how to find the right time and place for the best price on an HP laptop.
To find the best deals on HP laptops, you’ll likely want to shop around at first. However, before you do that, it will help to determine what features that you’re looking for to focus on specific usage or brands. Once you’ve figured that out, you’ll be better equipped to find the best values during your shopping experience.
Knowing what your budget is will help a lot when you’re looking for the best deals on HP laptops.
They usually boast longer battery life and connectivity options, too. HP Stream 11 laptops fit the bill with an Intel® Atom® processor, Intel UHD 400 GPU, 4GB of memory (RAM), and 32GB of eMMC storage. And you can even move up to the 14-inch display and still stay well under budget. HP Chromebooks are also ideal for this range and offer the intuitive, easy-to-use Chrome OS to which you can add applications via the Google Play Store.
Another important consideration for deciding on the type of laptop you want is the form factor. These include:
Depending on your preferred usage, the size of the display may or may not matter. But if it does, here’s a bit of guidance about what each sizing entails.
Something to consider when looking for the best deals on laptops is the processor or central processing unit (CPU) or “core” since it’s an essential component of the system. The CPU processes receives, and directs your laptop’s data and executes its program’s instructions.
CPUs with more cores are more powerful than those with fewer, and they range from dual-core (or 2-core) processors to hexa-core (or 6-core) processors. Both AMD and Intel offer a host of choices when it comes to CPUs in laptops. Here is a brief rundown of some of the more common processors that you’ll most likely come across when you’re searching - starting with the least powerful and moving up to the highest-performing among manufacturers:
Keep in mind that this is not an all-inclusive list. In addition, the strength of the processor also depends on both the number of cores as well as the clock speed, which is the number of cycles per second that the CPU executes; it’s measured in GHz. These capabilities vary among CPUs, as well.
For instance, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, and Intel Core i9 support Intel Turbo Boost Technology. This allows the clock speed to increase dramatically and dynamically depending on tasks, giving you increased speed exactly when you need it and enhanced energy efficiency when you don’t. And some support Hyper-Threading, which is multithreading technology that lets a single CPU core act like two separate virtual (or “logical”) cores, or threads. So they can share workloads between them, speeding performance significantly.
The graphics processing unit (GPU), which is also called the graphics or video card, is a single-chip processor that manages and speeds the processing of video and graphics. It’s as important as the CPU for most performance requirements in laptops and, in fact, aids the CPU by enabling it to perform other tasks. There are two kinds of GPUs. One is an integrated (or embedded) GPU, which is part of and shares memory with the CPU. The other is a discrete GPU with its own card and memory. Discrete GPUs are faster than integrated GPUs.
Here are a few popular GPUs that you’ll find in many laptops (roughly, from lowest to highest performing separated by brand). And like the CPU list, it’s not all-inclusive:
Like CPUs, the performance of graphics cards depends on a few factors, including number of cores, clock speeds, and memory bandwidth. However, if you’re comparing specs, be sure to only compare amounts within the same manufacturer’s card or even the same GPU family, as NVIDIA and AMD use different architectures and therefore have different memory bandwidth requirements.
Both memory and storage and important factors to consider when looking for the best deals on laptops. Like the CPU and GPU card, you’ll want enough memory (or RAM) and storage to ensure the appropriate amount of performance for your laptop, whether you’re using it for work, school, or gaming.
Look for a minimum of 4GB of RAM to run your laptop’s basic programs. You won’t be able to run too much, however, and that’s why 8GB is usually considered the sweet spot of memory requirements on most laptops. And if you’re a power user or gamer, you’ll want to double that amount to16GB.
Due to the size constraints of laptop computers compared to desktops, which have room for larger HDDs, you’ll be a bit more limited with storage options. Consider getting a solid-state drive (SSD) with at least 128GB and possibly 256GB. If you’re able to go with a higher-end laptop, you can get at least 1TB of HDD and the ability to add more storage capacity.
Once you’ve narrowed down the factors that you’re looking for in your laptop, it’s time to start shopping for the best deals. Timing is everything. One of the best strategies for buying an HP laptop is checking out the annual sales pages. There are several opportunities throughout the year to take advantage of either major national or local holidays, business holidays, or HP-specific events
You’ll save a decent amount, usually at least 20% to 30% (and often more), and enjoy free shipping. Be sure to put some of these dates in your calendar so you don’t miss the opportunity to return to the HP Store and grab some great deals.
Another option for HP laptop deals is to check out the HP laptops-on-sale page, which will bring you to the right place to peruse laptops that are on sale for that particular week. Once you’re there, you’ll also be able to search for HP laptops using filters such as product options (including ready to ship, customizable, or bundles), brand, operating system, processor, screen size, form factor, price range, and more.
For select products, you can save up to 60% in addition to getting free shipping and easy returns. If you find a laptop that you like, but you’re not ready to buy, be sure to bookmark the page so that you can come back and monitor it later, too.
Technology moves at an incredibly fast pace. And the technology that goes into HP laptops is consistently being upgraded with the latest and greatest across features that include processors, graphics, storage, memory, battery, and more. So it makes sense to take a look at some of the “older” models that may be just a generation or two behind the most recent CPU or GPU, for instance.
Why stop at buying a new HP laptop only? If you expand your search a little further, you can save a bundle on an actual bundle, such as a laptop combined with a mouse and external keyboard or speaker. For example, this slim, stylish, and touchscreen-enabled HP Chromebook x360 11-inch laptop includes a mini speaker and a mouse - in addition to an awesome 11 hours 30 minutes of battery life.
To take advantage of one of the best deals on HP Pavilion laptops, check out this HP Pavilion 15-inch gaming laptop. This model, which includes a 15.6-inch diagonal FHD display, a 9th Generation Intel Core i7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics, 12GB RM, and 256GB SSD storage, is already on sale. But if you bundle it with an HP Tango printer, or an HP DeskJet 3755, you’ll save more. Plus you can save money with special offers during an Intel Gamer Days sale.
Discovering a good deal on an HP laptop involves knowing what you want combined with finding it at the right time. As long you approach the search for deals armed with a bit of research, you’ll be better equipped to get the best possible deals for the specs that you’re looking for.
