This week's best聽laptop deals聽include a healthy mix of powerful Haswell-based machines alongside previous-generation laptops like the Apple Ivy Bridge-based MacBook Pro Retina laptop. We've also found an all-time low on the 11.6" ASUS VivoBook X200CA and a Haswell-based desktop replacement that's just $20 over its Black Friday mention.

   Is It Worth It?:聽It may not be the current Haswell MacBook Pro, but this Ivy Bridge-based machine still packs a powerful punch. It's been fitted with 16GB of RAM, a 768GB SSD, and a 2.8GHz quad-core Ivy Bridge CPU. It also packs the stunning 15.4" 2880x1800 Retina display along with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1GB video card and 802.11a/n WiFi.

   Is It Worth It?:聽Although it's $159 pricier than last week's mention, this 5.6-lb. HP ENVY 15t-j100 packs significantly better specs, starting with a 15.6" 1080p display (last week's model topped out at 1366x768) and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2GB graphics card. Add to that a Core i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz Haswell quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive and you've got a killer system in the making. Even better, coupon code "WANT175" takes $55 off.

3. ASUS VivoBook Intel Celeron 1.5GHz 11.6" Touchscreen Laptop
   Store:聽Microsoft Store
   Price:聽$279聽with聽free shipping
   Lowest By:听$17

   Is It Worth It?:聽The ASUS X200CA is a budget ultraportable that features an 11.6" touchscreen display. Though we think it's a little underpowered, this 2.7-lb. notebook is an awesome coffee table laptop or a cheap on-the-go system. It's powered by a 1.5GHz Intel Celeron 1007U dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive. It's currently the cheapest 11.6" ASUS VivoBook we've seen.

4. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro Intel Haswell Core i7 1.8GHz 13.3" Touchscreen Laptop
   Store:听尝别苍辞惫辞
   Price:聽$1,199聽via coupon code "YOGA2PRODEAL" with聽free shipping
   Lowest By:听$200

   Is It Worth It?:聽"The Yoga 2 Pro is the most versatile Windows convertible we know of," says聽Engadget. 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聽PC Magbelieve it's too heavy for prolonged use as a tablet, but call it an otherwise attractive gift for early adopters and graphics arts mavens.

5. Dell Inspiron 15 Intel Haswell Core i3 1.7GHz 15.6" Laptop
   Store:聽Dell Home
   Price:聽$399.99聽with聽free shipping
   Lowest By:听$50

   Is It Worth It?:聽Like the aforementioned VivoBook, this Inspiron laptop is aimed at budget shoppers, however, for roughly $20 more than the ASUS laptop, the Inspiron 15 features a mightier Haswell Core i3 CPU coupled with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The 15.6" machine also offers a 1366x768 LCD, which for $50 you can聽upgrade to a touchscreen.

6. Lenovo Essential G710 Intel Haswell Core i5 2.5GHz 17.3" LED-Backlit Laptop
   Store:听尝别苍辞惫辞

   Lowest By:听$250
   Expires:聽February 27

   Is It Worth It?:聽Big and proud, the 6.4-lb. Lenovo Essential G710 is a Haswell-based desktop replacement featuring a 17" 1366x768 LED-backlit LCD, a dual-core Core i5 2.5GHz Haswell CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. For its price, it packs better-than-average specs, and it's just $20 over our Black Friday mention of the same system.
