You can get a laptop from a reputed brand like Dell or Asus on sale during Black Friday for less than $300. Of course, they won’t come with the power of professional-grade models, but even lower-end or ARM processors are enough for most everyday tasks like browsing, using Microsoft 365, and watching videos. If you’re on a budget, these low-cost Windows laptops make great alternatives to Chromebooks (although Chromebooks are on sale too).
The best Windows laptops on sale for under $300
Table of Contents
A cheap Windows laptop will make your $300 go a long way, and thanks to some stellar deals, you can get features like a full-HD screen, 8GB RAM, and even SSD storage (though it’s on a lower side). Dell even has two options with Qualcomm ARM processors in them, which not only means the laptop is cheaper, it’s also lighter at just 3.2lbs.
And if you want to go really cheap, you can find laptops under $150 or $200 that feature Intel’s slower Celeron processors and limited memory.
