Best Buy has one of the cheapest Labor Day laptop sales you'll see this year, with an Asus 14-inch laptop for $99 today. Normally priced at $249.99, you're saving $150 or 60% in this latest round of discounts. This isn't a laptop for anyone keen to get a lot done on the move, but if you simply need a basic system for your kids to use or for simple web browsing and streaming, it's a bargain at $99.
Cheap Labor Day laptop sales aren't hard to come by at the moment but $99 is seriously affordable. Performance is entry level, as per the budget price point. However, you're still getting an Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage, and it even runs Windows 11 in S mode. Not only that, but a 12 hour battery life is a big advantage on a small laptop like this. The best gaming laptops may provide great performance, but never for 12 hours. If you simply want to browse online or type up some documents, it's a cheap way of doing so.
As this Asus 14-inch laptop is so cheap, it's fairly likely this deal won't stick around for long. We're not saying it's for everyone. This is purely for people on a tight budget or who need a near disposable laptop to cover them for a time. However if you do want it, odds are if you miss out now, it's going to be Black Friday before you see these kind of prices again.
