Subscribe to our newsletter Chromebooks often dominate the budget laptop space, but if you want a full Windows 11 machine without spending a fortune, Ive found a great deal for Amazons Spring Deal Days.

The HP 15.6-inch laptop is now 280 (was 399) at Amazon . Already pretty affordable, this budget laptop is a brilliant buy for everyday computing in the sales.

The system runs on AMDs Ryzen 3 7320U processor, a four-core chip built for efficient daily tasks. Web browsing, streaming, document editing, and general multitasking all run comfortably on hardware like this.

HP pairs the processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. That's obviously not
a huge amount of memory or storage, but it will be plenty for most daily tasks. If you do need more power, I spotted this HP 15.6in laptop with Ryzen
5 and 16GB RAM down to 440 (487) at Amazon .
