With Independence Day just a few days away, retailers are gearing up for their July 4th sales. But few have more than Best Buy's MacBook Air killer.

For a limited time, Best Buy is offering the HP Envy 13 4K laptop for $699.99. That's $300 off and one of the best laptop discounts we've seen. It is also one of the least expensive 4K laptops we have seen.

The HP Envy 13 is one of the best laptops you can get, and we especially like this deal because of its 13.3-inch 4K touchscreen, 1.6GHz Core i7-1065G7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. This combination of specs and price absolutely beats the MacBook Air and XPS 13 in terms of value.

But the HP Envy 13t is a powerful machine, not just on paper, but in real-world performance. It has a bright, responsive 4K touchscreen and a solid keyboard for comfortable typing, something that many ultrabooks suffer from. with a 4K display, you shouldn't expect this laptop to have an all-day battery life. But for work, student, or everyday use, the 4K Envy 13 is a no-brainer at this price.
