  • $650 discounts led ZDNET's early Memorial Day laptop roundup, with the HP Pavilion 15.6-inch dropping to $499 from $1,149 and several premium models also marked down.
  • Apple's newest M5 laptops were included despite launching this spring, with the MacBook Air cut $150 to $1,149 and the MacBook Pro reduced to $1,549.
  • Business and gaming machines also featured deeper cuts, including HP's EliteBook 6 at $1,198 from $1,799 and Lenovo's X1 Carbon at $2,999 from $3,499 as retailers clear inventory.
  • Memorial Day falls on May 25, and ZDNET said it only highlights deals it views as meaningful—typically at least 20% off or on products that rarely go on sale.
