Target Circle Week is here, bringing with it tons of deals on household essentials, vacuums, toys, beauty products, and more. Though the sale will last through April 13, some deals will only be live for 24 hours, and for April 8, that includes three impressive deals on Acer laptops.

The lineup is as follows: you can grab the 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 3 with an Intel Core i3-1115G4 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD for just $239.99 instead of $399.99, the 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 3 with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for $299.99 instead of $499.99, and finally the 2-in-1 Acer Aspire 3 Spin 14 with an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of SSD for $299.99 instead of $499.99.

According to our sister site PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis), the Aspire 3 is a laptop meant for just the basics, but what it does it does well. You're not likely to mistake your machine for a MacBook Pro, but for under $300, you can use the 15.6-inch display to easily run basic work tasks and browse the web. For anyone who anticipates needing a little extra storage space, bumping up from the i3 to i5 model may be worth the extra $60, but if you're already looking at a laptop this basic, you may be fine with the most affordable model.

For anyone interested in a convertible laptop on the cheap, the Aspire 3 Spin 14 is an incredibly affordable option. Admittedly, the Spin 14, like its non-convertible counterparts above, really offers just the basics unlike the 2-in-1 picks we recommend. However, those picks range from $500 to $1,700 more expensive than the Spin 14, which will do the job for note taking (either with typing or by hand) and basic drawing, while sticking to a smaller budget. Unfortunately, according to Target support, it doesn't come with the Acer Active Stylus, but it can be purchased separately for $59.99.
