The Amazon Big Spring Sale Has Huge Deals On The Best Laptop and Desktops

Amazon’s massive March sales event is dominating the deals discussion with huge discounts as much as 40% on top tech. We’ve found so many incredible offers on desktop and laptop PCs and Macs that will vanish on April 1st. There are tons of great products to pick from during the 2025 Spring Sale, and here are ten desktop and laptop deals that will hit the sweet spot.

Laptop Deals

The Chromebook Plus platform is the latest evolution of Google’s virus-free and efficient operating system, optimized to run Gemini AI functionality at greater speed. We reviewed the Acer Chromebook Plus 514, which is on sale right now at $100 off retail, and liked its exceptional battery life, sturdy design that features tons of ports for peripherals and storage, and responsive touchscreen. It’s way cheaper than a comparable Windows laptop, and perfect for students.

Here’s a budget Windows laptop from HP that’s seeing a very attractive 34% price drop until March 31st. The HP Stream is a portable designed for long-term usage, with impressive battery life coupled with a solid 14″ high-definition screen. While it’s not a powerhouse, the Intel Celeron processor is more that capable of handling typical schoolwork of office requirements. We reviewed an earlier model and noted that it had good build quality and was a good value for the larger form factor, and this new release looks to have handled many of our criticisms.

Apple’s shift to bespoke silicon for their laptops and tablets has been a huge performance booster, and the latest MacBook Air won an Editors’ Choice award in our review. The Air hits a sweet spot between a slim, light form factor and powerhouse components, with the new eight-core M3 processor working alongside eight dedicated graphics cores for peak performance in creative apps and multitasking. Its milled aluminum chassis is gorgeous and durable, and the Liquid Retina display is bright and sharp. A 23% discount is massive.

Lenovo makes some of the most reliable laptop hardware on the market, with responsive keyboards and touchpads that last a long time. The Big Spring Sale has a 22% price drop on the V15 business laptop, a portable designed for productivity on the go with a serious RAM loadout that’s essential for multitasking, along with 1 terabyte of internal storage for all your TPS reports. Integrated Intel graphics are fine for everyday use, but don’t grab this if you plan on gaming. It does have Dolby audio and a solid selection of ports, and battery life is around eight hours between charges.

Gaming Laptop Deals

Let’s start off the gaming laptop section with an absolute dream machine that we gushed over in our review. Using the refreshed Raptor Lake architecture in the Intel Core i9, this is a blisteringly fast and powerful portable that absolutely justifies its price tag. With a massive QHD+ (2560 x 1600) display that runs at a 165Hz refresh rate, this isn’t a lightweight model, but graphics look gorgeous courtesy of the cutting-edge GeForce RTX 4090 card. Massive RAM loadout and tons of storage are just the icing on the cake, and you can get a 15% discount right now.

Gaming laptops are just going to get more expensive as tariffs and trade wars drive up the cost of high-end silicon, so this is a good opportunity to snag a solid midrange performer from MSI. The biggest draw on this portable is the full HD screen, which has wide viewing angles, great color quality and a blazing fast 144Hz refresh rate that keeps up with the RTX 4050 graphics card. It’s lightweight and runs fairly cool, even while incorporating fun features like a backlit LED keyboard. Check out how it measures up on our list of the best gaming laptops.

For a more budget purchase, the Asus TUF A15 is a solid pick. It slots in nicely compared to our selection of the best cheap gaming laptops, running off a capable Ryzen 5 processor and a very decent RTX 4050 graphics card. Just from sheer component cost alone you’re getting a great deal at six hundred bucks. The display is bright and clear, with a 15.6″ thin bezel screen and a 144Hz refresh rate. Plenty of ports and long battery life just make it that much more appealing.

Desktop Deals

Apple’s pint-sized Mac Mini desktop packs a serious punch in a tiny footprint. In its 50 cubic inches, it competes with desktops many times its size thanks to the potent M4 processor, which enables the new AI features of MacOS Sequoia as well as high performance across your desktop apps. It’s a breeze to unplog and tote around if you have multiple workstations, and it’s built as durably as you’d expect from Apple. A well-designed selection of ports gives you solid expandability, and Amazon has the Mac Mini at a 17% discount.

If you’re more of a Windows type, this HP desktop is a solid deal at a nice price. In our review of the HP Pavilion, we had nice things to say about the row of convenient front-facing ports, eight-core Ryzen processor that handles basic tasks with ease, and quiet, cool running. It’s not a gaming machine, with no dedicated graphics card, but for schoolwork, family finances, media streaming and more it’ll do the job. Right now Amazon has it on sale for an 11% discount.

This is billed as a gaming desktop, but without a dedicated GPU it might not be too great for people looking for 4K resolution and high framerates. That said, the rest of its component loadout is more than capable for the price, featuring a whopping 32 gigabytes of RAM, more than enough to multitask demanding creative applications. Plenty of ports line the front of the case, and it’s Wi-Fi 6 enabled for speedy connectivity. You can get a 15% discount right now.
