Acer’s Nitro V line is built for 1080p gaming, and this config hits the sweet spot. You’re getting a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 display with a fast 165Hz refresh rate, an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD—plenty of horsepower for esports titles and most modern AAA games at reasonable settings. At about 36% off, it’s a strong midrange gaming deal that still leaves room in the budget for a good mouse and headset.

If you want a premium-feeling work machine with some next-gen AI muscle, the HP OmniBook 5 is the standout value in this batch. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 255U processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD behind a 16-inch 2K touchscreen, so you’ve got the screen real estate and storage to live in spreadsheets, creative apps, and video calls all day. Dropping from $799 to $499 (about 38% off) makes this one of the most aggressive prices we’ve seen on a 16-inch AI-focused laptop this season.

For students, casual users, or anyone who just needs a reliable everyday machine without spending much, this Vivobook Go is the slam-dunk cheap pick. It’s built around an Intel Core i3-N305 processor with Intel UHD graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB UFS drive, plus a 15.6-inch full HD display that’s easier on the eyes than the usual 1366 x 768 budget panels. At just $219—about 27% off—it’s a big step up from bargain-bin hardware without a big step up in price.
