Laptop deals: Save $450 on multimedia-friendly computers

Laptop deals this week include the HP Envy 15, Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro, and a Dell desktop replacement. But to get four of the best laptop deals, you'll need a coupon. See below.

Coupons rule this week's best  with codes that slash up to $480 off a variety of machines with the latest Intel processor, starting with the Editors' Choice HP ENVY 15, which packs a quad-core CPU and 8GB of RAM. Hybrid fans can also take $200 off Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro while Dell's $550 desktop replacement sports the latest hardware without the sticker shock.

The 4.9-lb. laptop even packs a 15.6" 1366x768 anti-glare LED-backlit LCD. Also onboard you'll find an Intel Haswell Core i5 2.5GHz dual-core processor, a generous 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. Though we saw it $30 less in November, it's still among the cheapest Z510s we've seen with 8GB of RAM.

   Is It Worth It?: "The Yoga 2 Pro is the most versatile Windows convertible we know of," says . More importantly, it addresses many of the flaws of the original Yoga while simultaneously being lighter, thinner, and faster. Indeed, one of the Yoga 2 Pro's biggest upgrades is its 13.3" QHD+ 3200x1800 screen. This configuration also includes a Core i7 Haswell dual-core 1.8GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. At 3.1 lbs., the folks at  believe it's too heavy for prolonged use as a tablet, but call it an otherwise attractive gift for early adopters and graphics arts mavens.

Housing a Core i5 1.6GHz dual-core Haswell CPU, the laptop features a 17.3" 1600x900 LED-backlit LCD, 6GB RAM, and a 750GB hard drive. Sure, we've seen cheaper configurations of this laptop, but this model packs better-than-average specs.
