One of the featured deals of the day at Best Buy is the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex2 Alpha laptop on sale for $649.99. It's a name with a lot of words, but it's also a machine with a lot of features. This price is $400 off what it normally goes for and beats the last deal we saw back in December by $100. These deals of the day can sell out and will definitely expire by this time tomorrow, so grab it while you can. If you're upgrading from an older machine, check out Best Buy's trade-in program, too, so you can save a little bit more.

If you're looking for something light, portable, and compact that's designed to last all day even if it won't play the latest games at the highest settings, then the Flex2 Alpha is for you. And that's not to say you can't game with it at all because it does have a powerful 11th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive for fast loading speeds and storage. You'll be able to do a lot with all of that, even if it's not your primary purpose for the device.

You also get a 13.3-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and a full touchscreen. Because of the convertible design, you can easily switch from laptop to tablet mode and use the Flex2 Alpha's display that way as well. It has a battery that can last for up to 17 hours so you can keep using it throughout the day without worrying that it's going to die on you. It also has fast charging so even when you do drain the battery, it'll be back up and ready to go in no time.
