Microsoft has kicked off its Memorial Day sales — sort of. While the retailer hasn’t mentioned the holiday by name, it has cast some fantastic discounts into the wild at the same time its rivals are launching their promotions … and that can’t be a coincidence. After all, it’s not every day you see a Razer Blade 15.6 in the sale bin for $930 under sticker. But we digress. You’re here for the savings, and we aren’t going to stand in your way a second longer.

　　In typical fashion, we tasked our team of bargain hunters with the all-important mission of trimming the fat off the meat. What we’re left with is a selection of the best laptops on offer as part of Microsoft’s let’s-not-call-it-a-Memorial-Day-(not-yet-at-least)-sale. The standouts? A spreadsheet-loving Lenovo IdeaPad 2-in-1 for $699, down $200 from $899, and a battlefield-ready Asus ROG Zephyrus M for $1,300, down a massive $500 from $1,800.

The fact of the matter is you can’t go wrong with any of these offers, even more so if you’re in dire need of a new laptop to work or play from home. They seem to be selling out fast, though, so best act fast.
