The laptop market is looking at a significant upheaval as tariffs and regulations fall into place, but there is some good news. Most of the stock already for sale at major retailers arrived before the tariffs were in place; even better, there are still plenty of tempting discounts available on those pre-tariff prices. Dell's Inspiron 14 2-in-1 (7445), for example, is currently $300 off at Best Buy, dropping the total to just $429.99.
