A new generation of laptops is always around the corner at CES in January, but they\u2019re still months away from release. In the here and now, you can get big discounts on excellent current-gen Windows laptops, MacBooks, and Chromebooks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are hundreds of dollars to be saved on laptops from Apple, Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, Asus, and more. And there\u2019s a mix of options, whether you prefer a thin-and-light model for work and easy travel, a workstation for content creation, or a gaming laptop for graphical performance above all else. There are even some Chromebook deals if you\u2019re shopping for a student or someone who wants a minimal-fuss solution for mostly browsing the web.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We\u2019re also compiling some worthwhile deals on laptop peripherals and accessories, like cases, cables, and hubs we like.
