HP Laptop Deals This Week: 5 Models From $380 to $800
July 23, 2026
HP laptops fill the deals feed again this week, five models between $379.97 and $799.99. RAM is the spec that separates them, and it splits the group into two clear tiers.
The pattern continues from last week
HP dominated the computer deals feed last week by sheer volume, and this week five more models are live at once, ranging from a $379.97 student laptop to a $799.99 business desktop. That volume still reflects HP's refresh cycle running through Amazon at scale, not a rare clearance event. The five models below split into two groups by RAM and storage, the fastest way to tell them apart when the marketing copy on each listing reads almost the same.
The list at a glance
Five models, sorted low to high by price.
HP Essential Laptop, $379.97 (41% off): 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, Windows 11 S
HP Laptop 15" FHD, $429.99 (43% off): 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 11 Home
HP Laptop for Everyday Use, $499.97 (41% off): 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6
HP Pro Tower 290 G9 Desktop, $799.99 (38% off): 12th-gen i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
HP Essential Laptop — $379.97 (41% off)
This is the entry point of the group, running Windows 11 S mode with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. Windows 11 S restricts installs to the Microsoft Store by default, which matters if you rely on software that only ships as a standalone installer. It bundles Office 365 and comes with a HUB docking station, built for students who need a portable machine for browsing, documents, and video calls rather than heavier processing. At $379.97 against $639, it's the cheapest way into this week's HP lineup.

Same 8GB RAM as the Essential model above, but doubles the storage to 256GB and runs full Windows 11 instead of S mode, meaning no restriction on where your software comes from. At 3.64 lbs, it's the lightest laptop in this lineup, worth noting if you carry it daily. It ships with a 5-in-1 hub for extra ports, useful since thin laptops at this price usually cut down to just USB-C. At $414.99 against $799, this is the deepest percentage discount of the five.

Nearly the same specs as the model above, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, at a $15 higher price with a slightly smaller discount. The real difference between these two comes down to weight and the bundled accessories rather than raw performance, since both run the same memory and storage configuration. If the 5-in-1 hub above isn't a priority for you, this is a fine substitute at nearly the same price. At $429.99 against $749, it's a $319 cut either way.

This is where the lineup steps up a full tier: 16GB RAM, double the other three laptops here, plus a 512GB SSD and Wi-Fi 6 support. That extra RAM is the difference between a laptop that handles a browser with a dozen tabs open alongside a document and one that starts to lag under the same load. It also bundles a year of Microsoft 365. At $499.97 against $849, it costs $85 to $120 more than the three 8GB models above, and for most people running more than light browsing, that's the better trade.

The only desktop in this week's lineup and the only one running a named, current-generation processor: a 12th-gen Intel Core i5-12500 up to 4.6GHz, paired with 16GB RAM and a 512GB PCIe SSD. Dual monitor support comes standard, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. If you have a monitor already and don't need portability, this outperforms every laptop in this list at a similar RAM tier, since desktop cooling lets the same specs run faster for longer than a laptop chassis allows. At $799.99 against $1,299, it's the priciest pick here and also the most capable.

For light use, browsing, documents, video calls, any of the three 8GB models works, and the HP 15.6" FHD Laptop at $414.99 has the deepest discount of the group. For anything heavier, multiple browser tabs alongside real work, the jump to the 16GB HP Laptop for Everyday Use at $499.97 is worth the extra $85 to $120. If you already have a monitor and want the most capable machine in this lineup, the Pro Tower 290 G9 desktop beats every laptop here on raw performance for a comparable RAM tier.
For browsing, documents, and video calls, yes. For heavier multitasking, many browser tabs open alongside other applications, 8GB starts to show its limits. Three of this week's five HP deals run 8GB, and the two that step up to 16GB cost $85 to $120 more.
What's the difference between Windows 11 S and Windows 11 Home?
Windows 11 S mode restricts app installs to the Microsoft Store by default, which limits you if you need software that only ships as a standalone installer. Windows 11 Home has no such restriction. The cheapest laptop in this week's lineup, the HP Essential at $379.97, runs S mode; the other four run full Windows 11.
Is the HP Pro Tower 290 G9 desktop better than the laptops in this lineup?
For raw performance, yes. It runs a named, current-generation Intel Core i5-12500 processor, and desktop cooling lets it sustain performance longer than a laptop chassis allows at a similar RAM tier. The tradeoff is no portability, so the choice depends on whether you need to carry the machine.
