We spend a lot of time looking at the cutting edge of laptop technology, where premium models will set you back a few grand. But not everyone wants to spend used car-levels of money on a portable screen, so we've done a bit of digging and found three laptops for under $300 in the early Black Friday deals at Best Buy.
The standout deal for me has to be this Lenovo Ideapad 1i 15.6-inch laptop for just $279. It's down $220 from the MSRP — nearly a 50% discount, and you get a decent little rig for that money. A full HD display, a modern Intel i3 chip, 8GB of RAM, and 256 GB SSD for storage. It ticks all the boxes for your average laptop user at a bargain price.
If you want something smaller, there is also the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 for just $219, down from $379. This Chromebook's 10.9-inch display makes it extremely travel-friendly, whether you're taking it out to a cafe or just moving it to the kitchen to watch a movie as you cook.
Finally, there is a hefty $200 off this HP 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop, which is down to $299. Much like the Lenovo, you're getting solid specs for the price, though the sub-1080p display is worth noting.
