Buying a new computer can be an expensive proposition, but the higher price tag also means there’s a lot more potential for deals and discounts to add to your total savings. Case in point: Best Buy’s latest laptop and desktop sale. Now through June 30, you can enjoy savings of up to 45% on computers and computer accessories — potentially saving hundreds of dollars on the usual retail price.
As if that weren’t enough, savvy Best Buy shoppers can find even more value by checking out the Deal of the Day, a one-off mega-deal that expires after 24 hours or after all the inventory has been exhausted. Sometimes these deals are online-only, and sometimes they are both online and in stores, but they always involve very steep discounts and they seldom last very long, especially when computers are featured, so check in regularly and act fast.
Unlock Exclusive Deals With a My Best Buy Membership
And as long as we’re trying to maximize our value and shop for the absolute best deals, don’t sleep on Best Buy’s membership program, My Best Buy
. Even the basic membership, with no annual fees, unlocks free shipping, saving you money for nothing — but it’s the paid memberships where the real savings opportunities lie. My Best Buy Plus ($49/year) and My Best Buy Total ($179.99/year) offer additional perks, from free two-day shipping to exclusive sales opportunities regular Best Buy customers can’t access. All it takes is one good discount and your membership will pay for itself, sometimes many times over.
If you splurge on the Total membership, for example, and end up buying a computer, you’ll automatically be enrolled in Best Buy Protection or, for Apple products, AppleCare+ for a full two years, insuring your purchase against mechanical failure and, in some cases, accidental damage. Even if those two years pass without incident, the cost of the insurance alone justifies your membership fees.
8 Top Computer and Computer Accessories Deals
Still not sold? Here are some of the best value deals we could find on popular computers and computer accessories, from manufacturers like Apple, HP, ASUS and Microsoft.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 13.5”
Want the performance capabilities of a laptop and the convenience of a tablet? Microsoft struck the perfect balance with the Surface Laptop 5. The 13.5”, full HD touchscreen is vibrant and responsive, making it easy to use your fingers to navigate between apps, while the 3.4 gigahertz Intel i7 processor makes swift work of all your work-related flows. The 512GB SSD offers an excellent storage buffer without adding bulk to the laptop’s slim design, while the lithium-ion battery can deliver up to 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, allowing you to roam far from charging outlets without issue.

Acer Swift Edge 16
If you need performance but can’t afford to sacrifice portability, the aptly named Acer Swift Edge 16 should be high on your list. It weighs just 2.73 pounds and sits just half an inch thick, but this laptop still manages to pack in some serious power. An eight-core AMD Ryzen 7040 processor paired with an AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics card help this lightweight laptop punch well above its weight, and it’s a good thing, too, because the 16-inch, 3200×2000 OLED screen with a blazing fast 120Hz refresh rate and 400 nits of peak brightness demands no less. Add a 1TB SSD for plentiful storage, 16GB of DDR5 memory for superior multitasking, and Microsoft’s latest Pluton security processor to fend off the latest malware — all for $450 off its sticker price — and this extremely capable laptop for the working professional on the go suddenly becomes a phenomenal value proposition.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Laptop with Pen
Whether you’re an artist, graphic designer, compulsive note-taker or just unwilling to compromise between the versatility of tablets and the functionality of laptops, the Lenovo Yoga 9i is for you. In the office or at the coffee shop, it can function just like a regular laptop, but the Yoga lives up to its name in sheer flexibility, folding a full 360 degrees into four different positions for easier stylus use, whether you’re holding it in your hand or resting it on a table. The 14-inch, 4K OLED display delivers excellent clarity and color accuracy (a must for graphic artists), while the Intel i7 processor and integrated Iris Xe graphics keep performance snappy. There’s even a built-in fingerprint reader, helping to streamline your device’s security and safeguard your work.

HP Envy 34” WUHD All-in-One
If you’re looking for a home office workstation with the chops to handle anything you throw at it, look no further than the HP Envy 34” All-in-One. The keyboard, mouse, monitor and even a webcam are all included, with the desktop components cleverly built into the oversized monitor, giving this high-performing PC a rather minimalist footprint on your desk. The sleek looks are matched by the high-end internal components, from the Intel Core i7 processor and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card to the 1TB SSD. But truth be told, it’s the gorgeous, 34-inch 5K LED display that steals the show, giving you a combination of clarity and sheer screen real estate that will make it hard for you to work on any other computer.

Apple iMac 24”
If you’re shopping for a high school or college student, or just need a do-everything computer with a minimalist design and effortless good looks, the 24″ iMac, discounted by a cool $650, is an excellent proposition. The M1 chip that was such a game-changer upon its release is still blazing fast, and macOS works so seamlessly with Apple’s larger ecosystem that you’ll wonder how you lived without the easy pairing of your iPhone and your desktop computer. Apple also nails all the little details, like the HD webcam, the ultra-responsive wireless trackpad, the super-fast fingerprint reader, and the easy-to-adjust stand, all of which combine to make this an extremely easy computer to live with.

ASUS ROG 45L Gaming Desktop
Demanding tasks call for an ultra-powerful machine, so whether you’re trying to play the latest triple-A games at max settings or earning a living doing graphic-intensive work on a computer, you need a desktop PC that’s up for the challenge. The ASUS ROG 45L is what happens when you max out your power dial across the board: a 24-core Intel Core i9 processor, capable of speeds up to 5.8GHz, paired with an ultra-beefy GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card and 32GB of DDR4 RAM to help you handle everything, everywhere, all at once. Of course, experienced power users know it isn’t just about the hardware; it’s also about the design. The ROG 45L has excellent airflow, helping to keep its internals cool even when the power load ramps up, and convenience factors like SSD hot-swap bays and front-facing I/O ports prove ASUS really thought about everything with this PC. True, it’s an expensive proposition, but power doesn’t come cheap, and that extra $750 in savings makes this a mighty attractive option for the summer’s lineup of new games.

LG UltraGear 27” UHD Monitor
For whatever reason, people tend to upgrade their monitors last, or not at all. I’s not uncommon for people to buy the latest and greatest graphics card only to game on a five-year-old, 1080P monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate. If that’s you, it’s time to make a change, and what better way to start than with the LG UltraGear? This 27-inch IPS panel offers excellent color accuracy, a blazing-fast 144Hz refresh rate (sorry, no more blaming your in-game deaths on input lag), and ultra-crisp 4K resolution, which not only makes gaming a joy but also allows for ultra-crisp text and superb movie and TV watching.

Seagate Game Drive 2TB NVMe SSD
If you’re one of the millions of proud PS5 owners out there, you’ve probably already discovered two things: modern games take up a ton of hard drive space, and the PS5’s basic storage offering simply doesn’t cut it. Yes, you could save a bit of money by opting for a cheaper, disc-based drive, but then you’ll forever be transferring games between drives every time you feel the urge to play a different game. Trust us: splurge on this Seagate Game Drive; you’ll never look back. Like the PS5’s hard drive, the Seagate is an NVMe SSD, offering the fastest hard drive speeds currently available, and the 2TB model you see here rarely goes on sale.
