I’m using my eight years of experience covering Prime Day to hunt down the best laptop deals — paired with my 10 years of knowledge reviewing them to make sure they're actually worthwhile!
We’re already seeing huge savings on the latest MacBooks ($150 off the M4 MacBook Air for example), and price cuts on RTX 50-series laptops like $310 off the Asus TUF F16 with RTX 5060. Plus, Copilot+ PCs are getting the chop too ($180 off the Snapdragon X plus-armed Surface laptop), and the best Chromebooks too like the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook for just $187 right now.
One thing we’re learning — not only is this the longest Prime Day (spanning four days), it’s also the best for big discounts on the best laptops. So if you’ve been on the hunt for a cheap system, keep it locked on this live blog as I hunt down the best bang for your buck.

I've been a laptop expert ever since picking up my first white plastic MacBook back in 2007. For the past 10 years, I've been able to put that to good use in reviewing and recommending the best laptops you can buy. Pair that with my eight years of Prime Day experience, and I'm the perfect tour guide through all the best deals.
M4 MacBook Air at lowest price ever!
Here's another "in case you missed it" deal that's worth repeating. The 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Airs pack a lot of performance and insane power efficiency into a slim, sleek shell with a gorgeous display, strong webcam and impressive ergonomics. They're certainly the best MacBooks for most people. At these reduced prices, they're hard to pass up!
Steep discounts on M4 MacBook Pro
We posted about these deals earlier, but just in case you missed it, if you're a power user who requires a beefier MacBook, then you'll be happy to know the MacBook Pro M4 models are seeing major price cuts!
Whether it's an M4 chip, M4 Pro, or powerful M4 Max, the entire MacBook Pro lineup is now at least $150 off. If you're a content creator who needs a powerful machine for editing, a programmer who needs a machine with a fast processor, or even a gamer, the MacBook Pro won't let you down.
An RTX 5070 Ti laptop just dropped by nearly $400!
The RTX 50-series deals keep rolling in. It's another Asus ROG Strix G16, but this one comes with the might of an RTX 5070 Ti. Oh, and other specs like an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. But the best news is that it's now $390 off!
While we'd like to see 32GB of RAM here, this is still one powerful beast that pushes mid-range performance even further with that RTX 5070 Ti onboard. Not too shabby for just over $1,600.
A gaming laptop for $649? The deal is here!
The Prime Day deals are well and truly spilling in! You can now get a gaming laptop for just $649 thanks to a $150 discount on this Acer Nitro V 15 sporting an RTX 4050. It's far from premium, but as you'll find when testing RTX 4050 gaming laptops, these machines can handle many of the latest PC games at the right settings (DLSS 3.5 helps).
It won't offer the latest and greatest in graphics, but for those fast-paced multiplayer titles, its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz display will take you far in smooth frame rates.
My favorite laptop deal right now
With Nvidia's latest RTX 50-series only coming out this year, I wouldn't have thought there would be discounts on the gaming laptops boasting recent graphical power, especially from Alienware. But I was proven wrong.
Alienware's new 16 Aurora gaming laptop with an RTX 5060 is now $400 off, down to an all-new low $1,099 price. Considering it also brings an Intel Core 7 240H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD and a 16-inch, 1600p LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, this is my favorite deal right now. If you're after a PC gaming upgrade for less, this is it.
This Copilot+ AI PC is now over $120 off!
For an affordable way to go about your daily computing tasks (like working on documents, scrolling through the web and, of course, binge-watching shows on the side), then you can't go wrong with this HP Omnibook 5 Copilot+ AI laptop.
Now that it's down by $121, you'll get a lot out of its AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) touchscreen, 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Act fast, though, as Amazon states there's only a few left in stock!
This RTX 5060 gaming laptop gets a price drop!
Amazon is bringing out the big deals now that Prime Day has officially kicked off, as this Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) with an RTX 5060 has dropped to an all-new low price. You can save $225 on this beast of an entry-level laptop sporting a fantastic FHD+ (1920 x 1200) display with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time.
We've spotted affordable RTX 5060 gaming laptops so far, and this one adds to the pile! Grab it while the going in good.
$400 off this RTX 5090 monster of a gaming laptop
Oh you thought the savings on the latest and greatest RTX 50-series gaming laptops would be reserved for just the lower end? Buddy do I have some news for you!
Turns out the RTX 5090 is also on the chopping block. This insanely-specced Legion Pro 7i packs an Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX, that 5090 GPU, 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, alongside that crispy QHD display and a utilitarian form factor that looks great on any desk.
With all the DLSS 4 and Multi-frame Gen goodness, my only gripe with RTX 5090 laptops has been the price. But now, we have a huge $400 saving to tackle that!
One of our favorite Copilot+ PCs is cheaper than ever!
If you're looking for a Windows ultraportable that's (dare I say) swift, then Acer's Snapdragon-armed machine is a great way to go.
In fact, it's one of my favorite Microsoft laptops for its Snapdragon X Plus chip, that gorgeous 14.5-inch touchscreen, and a massive 17-hour battery life. Plus the trackpad feels good and that keyboard is impressively tactile! Right now, it's $250 off for Prime Day!
Steep discounts on M4 MacBook Pro
The MacBook Air M4s are currently on sale, but if you're a power user that requires, well, more power, then you'll be happy to know the MacBook Air M4 models are also seeing major price cuts!
Whether it's an M4 chip, M4 Pro or powerful M4 Max, the entire MacBook Pro lineup are now at least $150 off. These are for photo and video editing, along with programming and heavy-duty tasks that require the might of Apple's fast silicon. These can even manage some high-end gaming. If you're in need of a PC upgrade, it's worth checking out these discounts.
RTX 5060 laptops are the best Prime Day deals I've seen so far!
The laptop deals this year are impressive for sure, but what is most impressive to me is that RTX 50-series laptops are already getting impressive discounts.
In particular, 5060 laptops are bringing some seriously good price to performance — with Alienware and Asus leading the way!
Microsoft's Surface Laptop gets a price drop
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 made waves with its Snapdragon X Plus processor offering better performance and battery efficiency, and it's now down by nearly $200 for Prime Day.
It's a true MacBook Air rival, as you'll find in our Surface Laptop 7 review, thanks to its sleek and light design, speedy Snapdragon X performance and over 15-hour battery life. A great pick for students, workers and travellers alike.
This new Dell 14 Plus is now $179 off!
Dell makes some of the best Windows laptops around, especially for work and easy browsing. So, it's nice to see this latest Dell 14 Plus is now under $1,000!
It's part of Dell's rebrand of its laptop lineup, so you'll be getting the latest with an Intel Core Ultra 7 chip, a mighty 32GB of DDR5X RAM and a helpful 1TB SSD. Not bad for a strong laptop such as this, especially if you're a student or need a reliable laptop while on the move.
Find a Chromebook for under $200 right now
Leave it to Prime Day to offer a Chromebook for under well under $200! The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook is now down to $182, meaning you can get to save over $100 on this very affordable laptop that's fantastic for web browsing and getting work done online.
With its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display, it also makes for a fantastic laptop to watch all your shows on, whether its for students or yourself, no less.
Samsung's mighty Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 is $300 off
We called the Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro the MacBook Pro alternative with a bigger OLED display and a lighter design, so if you're a fan of Windows, this model should be on your radar, as it's $300 off.
You're getting an Intel Core 7 Ultra CPU, a 3K (2,880 x 1,800) OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate and even an S Pen thrown in for good measure. For workers on the go and even students, this Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 is a worthy companion.
M4 MacBook Air at its lowest ever price
Let's talk about easily one of the best laptops you can buy right now. The 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Airs pack a lot of performance and insane power efficiency into a slim, sleek shell with a gorgeous display, strong webcam and impressive ergonomics. What more could you want!?
And now, the 13-inch is $50 off, and you're getting $150 off the 15-inch model!
This RTX 5070 gaming laptop is now under $1,500!
The latest RTX 50-series gaming laptop boasting an RTX 5070 for less than $1,500? Yes, please. The MSI Katana 15 HX is now down by just over $260, meaning you can grab one of the latest gaming laptops equipped with powerful performance that goes beyond mid-range thanks to Nvidia's DLSS 4.
It comes with other impressive specs, too, such as its 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD, and its Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU will go far in keeping up with demanding performance needs.
