With the price of electronics going up nearly every week, thanks to RAMageddon, you’ll be happy to know that the next Amazon Prime Day event is happening from June 23 through June 26. If you’ve wanted to purchase a new laptop for work, school, or gaming, this is your chance to save big on your next notebook.

It’s slim pickings at the moment since Prime Day hasn’t officially started, but there are still some worthwhile deals. The biggest discount I’ve seen so far is a Lenovo IdeaPad for $590 off. There’s also an Acer Nitro V gaming laptop for $90 off. And, you can get the already affordable MacBook Neo for $10 off its usual $599 starting price.

I’ll update this post with fresh deals, as we’ll no doubt see better discounts as we get closer to Amazon Prime Day. With that said, here are 5 Prime Day laptop deals worth your money.

Also, if you’re not yet an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial at Amazon and students can get a 6-month free trial. For more ways to save, check out the Tom's Guide Savings Squad as well as our list of the best Amazon promo codes this week.
