The sale of laptops, in most cases, is a way for a supplier to change last year’s models to make room for new ones. Depending on the discounts offered, this can be a perfectly good way to buy a well-equipped laptop at a great price, even if it doesn’t have the latest and greatest technology.
Best Buy started a four-day liquidation yesterday, which runs until Thursday. You’ll find all kinds of technology for sale, from TVs and appliances to home theater equipment and laptops. And not just last year’s laptops. Included in the sale are five modern two-in-one convertible laptops based on Intel’s Evo platform through the chip maker’s 11th generation Tiger Lake processors. The Evo label means, among other things, a laptop provides a lot of battery, fast charging and the ability to wake up instantly. You can save between $ 100 and $ 300 on a two-in-one convertible ultraportable laptop from Dell, HP or Lenovo.
And if you’re interested in what’s on sale, in addition to Intel Evo laptops, you can see the entire sale at Best Buy sale page in four days and you can see our picks for the best offers on sale – but note that Amazon has combined some of these prices as well.
