2 laptop deals we would actually buy, from $1195.86

Every item here is priced below its recent average.

Laptop prices drift around more than most shoppers realize, and the line between a genuine discount and a padded list price is easy to miss without tracking data behind it. Both machines below are sitting under what they averaged over the last 30 days, which is the check we run before recommending anything.

Lenovo Legion LOQ AI-Powered Gaming Intel Core (15.6-inch, 16GB/1TB, Luna Gray) drops to $1195.86 - save $604.13. The 34% cut from the $1799.99 list price grabs the eye, but the stronger signal is that this gaming laptop has been averaging $1361.85 over the last month, so you are paying about $166 less than recent buyers. The second pick lands below its own 30-day average too, which is why both earn a spot here.

Quick Highlights

Lenovo Legion LOQ: A 144Hz G-Sync display and RTX 5050 make it a real entry point into gaming laptops, and it has been averaging $1361.85 over the last month.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 3: A portable 2.79-pound touch-screen with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD, now priced against a 30-day average of $1770.32.

Why These Deals Matter

Both laptops are trading below the prices they carried over the last 30 days, which is the strongest sign we look for when separating real drops from noise. The Legion LOQ undercuts its recent average by a meaningful margin, and the Surface Laptop 3 sits roughly $100 under its own 30-day figure. When two machines in different corners of the market land below their recent norms at the same time, it is worth acting on.

Final Verdict

If you want a gaming laptop with a fast display and an RTX 5050, the Legion LOQ at $1195.86 is hard to beat right now. If portability and a touch screen matter more, the Surface Laptop 3 at $1667.79 is the pick. Check both prices on Amazon before they drift back up.
