When do Memorial Day laptop sales start?

Memorial Day itself kicks off on Monday, May 29th, 2023, however, we generally see early offers rolling out over the weekend itself. You can essentially expect to see deals popping up from Saturday (May 27th) and lasting for a few days afterward. That said, if you see something we recommend getting it, as stock may run out. 

When should you buy Memorial Day laptop deals?

If you spot an offer you like in the days leading up to Memorial Day, it's well worth jumping in ahead of time, as the more popular discounts may have left the shelves by the end of the weekend. They also don't usually drop any further in cost than when the discounts arrive, so there's no benefit in waiting. 

Which stores are offering Memorial Day laptop sales?

We'd recommend starting your search at bigger retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Walmart, though if you're looking for something particularly powerful or premium, it's also worth heading to laptop brands directly such as HP, Microsoft, and Dell. Additionally, Amazon subsidiary Woot is pretty damn amazing for walking away with a bargain, usually putting up a limited number of units at incredibly low prices – definitely one to watch.

All of these retailers will constantly be updated over Memorial Day, so it's worth checking in regularly at the following: 

Amazon: regular deals and discounts on every brand

Best Buy: save up to $700 on Macbooks

Dell: Inspiron 15 laptop for $349.99

HP: $400 discount on HP Envy Laptop

Lenovo: clearance discounts with Xbox Game Pass

Microsoft: save up to $500 on Surface Laptops

Newegg: wide laptops and notebook selection

Samsung: get $100 to $150 Samsund Credit with purchase

Walmart: HP Laptops as low as $289

What to expect from the best Memorial Day laptop deals 2023

Whether it's Apple, Samsung, Razer, or Asus, we're expecting many of the biggest brands to have major discounts across Memorial Day 2023. Amazon will most likely be one of the best retailers for record-low prices, courtesy of its Lightning Deals, while Best Buy and Walmart have a good chance of being in high contention too. Walmart, specifically, has been one of the cheapest places as of late for budget models.

We'd recommend keeping an eye out for cheap deals on the Alienware Aurora R15, the Razer Blade 15 as well as the Dell G15. These are some of our favorite models, with the latter being one of the best you can find for under $1,000. With that, we'd expect discounts between 20% on average, though some retailers may push the envelope in some circumstances. 

Last year we saw plenty of new low prices, with the Dell Inspiron 15 and HP 14z 14-inch laptop dropping below $300. We also saw the Samsung Chromebook 4 going for as little as $130 and the HP 11.6-inch Chromebook falling under $100, so there are plenty of options whatever you're budget. Chromebooks, in general, are pretty reliable for dropping drastically in price, due to the newer models hitting the market. 

Similarly, Windows models are constantly found at many of the most popular retailers. Apple MacBooks, on the other hand, can be a little trickier to nail down, often having limited stock or deals only applying to older models. We'll be updating this piece as we get closer to Memorial Day 2023, so you know exactly what deals are worth investing in.
