Laptop Options

There's never been a better time to buy a laptop. Some of today's laptops are as powerful as their desktop cousins, while many pack the on-the-go features of a tablet such as touch screens and cellular data connectivity.

Choose the Best Laptop for Your Computing Needs

When choosing from the hundreds of laptops for sale at Best Buy, it helps to think about what you plan to use it for. For casual use like e-mail, social media and Web surfing, you might want to consider the light weight and low cost of a netbook or Chromebook. If you ask a bit more from your laptop -- like streaming and saving movies and music or using the Microsoft Office suite -- you might want a laptop with more hard drive storage and a larger screen. For power users looking to edit photos, produce videos, or play graphics-intensive video games, a laptop with a fast processor and lots of RAM is essential. Look for models like HP laptops or MacBook. Keep in mind, the larger the screen and the more performance a laptop has, the less portable it might be.
