As Kimber Streams, a senior executive, writes in our Windows ultrabook guide, ultrabooks are the best laptops for most laptops. Lightweight, long-lasting ultrabooks are great for basic tasks like checking and replying to emails, editing audio, editing personal photos, or collaborating on Google Docs – all at a lower cost than a snap-on laptop.

While no longer a good choice, we still think the Lenovo Yoga C940 is a great laptop – especially now that it’s dropped to $ 1,000. With Intel’s 10th-generation Core i7, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD, Yoga actually has better specifications for less money than our current convertible laptop choice, the HP Specter x360 13 (but heavier). The price of yoga may be lower on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but now would be a good time to shop if you’re worried about stock issues.

Although we’ve seen this short-lived deal several times over the past week, it’s still a killer deal and a fantastic cut in our budget for choosing a Windows Ultrabook. This store is so good that I first picked one up when it was sold a few days ago. It has an I5 processor, a 14-inch touch screen, a 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Despite its lower battery life and about half a pound heavier than our best choice, it delivers nearly the same high performance for a fraction of the cost.
