Core i7 Laptop Price Trends Reveal Magic Price to Buy


HP ENVY 14

By Louis Ramirez, dealnews senior feature writer

When can bigger turn out to be cheaper? When it comes to laptops, usually the bigger the screen, the bigger the price. But when we checked out pricing trends on laptops with Core i7 processors, Intel's top-of-the-line laptop CPU, we found that 17" models were sometimes going for less.

We also found that the price for any of these laptops rarely dips below $800. So power users looking for desktop replacements and gaming notebooks take note: This is the processor you want under your laptop's hood, so if you see a deal in that price range, grab it.

The chart below shows the best deals we have tracked for 16" and 17" laptops using the first generation Core i7 mobile processor. Based on the frequency of deals we saw throughout the year, we chose Lenovo and HP to represent 16" and 17" Core i7 laptops, respectively. (Deals from other manufacturers were too infrequent to include in our chart.)Read more
