Bend over backwards for these HP 2-in-1 laptop deals in the Best Buy 5 back-to-school sale
Best Buy’s back-to-school sale is in full swing, and there are some fantastic deals to be found on HP 2-in-1 laptops. Whether you’re looking for a top-end powerhouse laptop or something more budget-friendly, we’ve got you covered here with some deals on the best 2-in-1 laptops.
The HP Envy line-up offers excellent value if you want an everyday workhorse, and there are deals on both the 14-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch models — the smaller display is great for portability, while larger screen models are ideal if you’re going to be watching Netflix during your downtime.
If you need something with a little more grunt, the HP Spectre has you covered with an i7 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB storage. It’s also a thing of beauty with its slick design and OLED display, but the best-looking part of it is the price — $500 off. In our HP Spectre x360 14 review our only complaint was the price — now less of an issue with this hefty discount.
Whatever your needs, we’re sure you’ll find something in the back-to-school sales and we’re here to help as you prepare for the new semester. Check out our roundup of the 57 best back-to-school sales from across the web.
It’s worth noting that all of these laptops are running on Windows 11 and have Microsoft Copilot integrated into them, which could be a pro or a con, depending on where you stand on the controversial new AI tool.
