The event page lets you filter by Computer Systems (Laptop / 2-in-1 / Business / Gaming) and by Manufacturer (ASUS, Lenovo, HP, MSI, GIGABYTE, Acer, and more), then sort by Best Deals, Biggest Discount, Best Sellers, or Lowest Price to zero in fast.

Quick Primer: Copilot+ PCs and why NPUs matter

Copilot+ laptops combine a modern CPU with an NPU (neural processing unit) to accelerate on-device AI tasks—think image tools, note-taking and summarization, transcription, and creative workflows—with better responsiveness and efficiency. Many Ryzen AI and Intel Ultra systems on the event page are tagged accordingly so you can spot them at a glance.


Choose by Use Case (and the filters to click)

Everyday & School

Look for thin-and-light 14–15.6″ models with 16GB RAM and NVMe SSD. Start by filtering Manufacturer (e.g., Lenovo, HP, ASUS) and set a price band under $700; sort by Best Deals or Lowest Price to surface quick wins.

AI & Productivity

If you rely on local AI features, filter for Copilot+ PC (visible on numerous tiles) and consider Ryzen AI or Intel Ultra laptops with 32GB memory for heavy multitasking. Sort by Biggest Discount to catch short-term drops.

Creator & Office Multitaskers

Prefer 16–17″ displays (some OLED/fast panels), 1–2TB NVMe, and quiet thermals. Look for “Save $xxx.xx” callouts on creator-class models like MSI Prestige/Summit lines, then compare similar SKUs within the brand filter

Light Gaming on a Budget

Target Ryzen 7 / Core i7 everyday builds with 16GB+ memory and ensure a dual-slot storage design for future expansion; consider pairing with a cloud/streaming service or an external GPU later if your workflow allows. Use price filters and Best Sellers sorting for stable value.

Deal-Hunting Playbook (works on this page)

  1. Set the sort first: Best Deals or Biggest Discount will usually get you to the strongest offers faster.

  2. Scan for badges: Lowest price in 30 Days signals a recent low; Free Shipping improves total value.

  3. Open the product page: Confirm memory/storage, panel type, and upgrade paths—some SKUs offer multiple RAM/SSD options.

  4. Cross-shop within a lineup: Prestige vs. Summit, IdeaPad vs. V-Series, etc., to balance CPU/GPU, RAM, and thermals for your workload.
