Budget laptops usually skimp on RAM or CPU power, but this machine is more than suitable for everything from homework to light gaming. Dell XPS 13: was $799 now $599 @ Dell The XPS 13 is one of our favorite overall laptops. Although we dislike that the 2022 model only has a pair of Thunderbolt 4/USB C ports, it's still a capable machine for most users.

In our XPS 13 (2022) review , we called it a good laptop for everyday computing and for streaming content. This config packs a 13.4 inch 1920 x 1200 display, Core i5 1230U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. HP Envy 2 in 1: was $1,049 now $699 @ Best Buy The HP Envy is a versatile everyday machine.

In our MacBook Air M2 review , we called the Editor's Choice laptop an unbeatable combo of stellar performance, long lasting battery life, and sleek design.

Note that Amazon offers the same price, but only in one color and it won't ship in time for Christmas.
