Yahoo News The best laptop deals of June 2023: Save up to $1,000 on Chromebooks, MacBooks and more
Whether you're a hardcore gamer, a work-from-home parent, a student with too many classes or, you know, a sentient human living in the 21st century, everyone needs a laptop. Not to mention those people who have a laptop but need a new laptop. Or a second laptop. The point is: laptops! There are tons of great deals on every possible make and model at any given moment. Let us point you toward some of this month's best, including this popular Samsung Chromebook for $149, or a MacBook Air for only $849 (from $999). And how about almost 60% off a Lenovo IdeaPad 3? Let's go!
The best Chromebook deals of June 2023
This little worker bee of a laptop is ideal for those who are always on the go — and it's almost 50% off.
This Samsung Chromebook 4 is a couple of years old, but it's still a great option (for a backup, a bedroom or a kitchen) if you don't need something with a ton of power. Chromebooks are ideal for browsing the web, hanging out on social media and handling a light workload, especially if you use Google's suite of tools (such as Sheets or Docs). We're hard-pressed to find a higher compliment than this shopper's: "Best computer I ever used."
This comes with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides pre-installed, plus access to more than 2 million Android apps from the Google Play store.
Ideal for use in classrooms or anywhere something might be spilled or dropped.

The best laptop deals of June 2023
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is one of Amazon's most popular laptops — and one of the most beloved among Yahoo readers, too.
With 256GB of onboard storage, 8GB of RAM and Windows 11 pre-installed, this IdeaPad 3 is a true workhorse. It can handle major Excel spreadsheets and more work-intensive tasks than a Chromebook, which makes it perfect for a new home-office machine. And though hardcore gamers will want to look elsewhere (due to its lack of a dedicated GPU), you won't find a more dreamy marriage of performance and budget-friendliness than this.
One five-star reviewer said, "I needed a laptop to take the bar exam because I couldn’t download the exam software on my work laptop. I’d purchased a Microsoft Surface laptop in the past, and while they’re super sleek, light and the screen quality is great, twice I’ve had the laptops break down and malfunction. And those are, like, $1,000. This laptop is a bit heavy and the screen resolution isn’t the best, but it appears to be a reliable machine — and for the money, a total steal. I actually love the feeling of the keyboard and track pad. Great laptop."
With 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD, as well as built-in Amazon Alexa, this laptop is a great lightweight, everyday machine.

The best MacBook deals of June 2023
Lightweight, portable and powerful, this Air is $200 off. Though it's an older machine, it still holds up against many modern Windows laptops.
The 2020 MacBook Airis impressive. Powered by Apple's M1 chip, it has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage — plenty of space to keep your photos and videos. It's got enough punch to edit videos on the go, plus an all-day battery that means you don't have to worry about running out of juice. At $849, you're unlikely to find a better deal than this.
One user said this machine trumps anything Windows: "This is the best laptop I've ever owned, and I've owned about 20 or more. For most folks, this 2020 model will be more than enough: great battery life, excellent display, excellent Mac OS and UI, robust build quality, easy portability ... and I love the aluminum case. I own four Windows 11 laptops too, which are great laptops as well, but this Mac tops them."

The best gaming laptop deals of June 2023
This machine is beastly enough to run even the newest games with maxed-out settings — and it's more affordable than ever.
Gaming laptops generally come in one of two camps: affordable but weak, or powerful and way over budget. This ROG Strix Scar 15 finds the sweet spot between the two. It packs a state-of-the-art RTX 3080 graphics card as well as 16GB of RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive to store your entire Steam library on — and it's on major sale.
"This can run any game you throw at it. Now, I will mention that the cooling could probably be better; this thing does tend to run a little hot. But I built a laptop table with fans in it for this thing to sit on, and it drastically helps the overheating issue, if you even want to call it that. That's me trying to find something to complain about, though," one five-star reviewer said. "This machine was built to last, and the fact that it has empty slots to add more RAM and extra storage? Pffft, no-brainer. Best ~$1,500 purchase I've ever made."
With a GTC 3050, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, this is a beastly little gaming laptop, especially for only $700.
