Welcome to Day 3 of Prime Day 2025 — and somehow, the laptop deals just keep getting hotter. I’ve been reviewing laptops for over a decade and covering Amazon’s mega-sales for nearly as long — and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s how to tell the real deals from the meh ones.
Right now? It’s a laptop lover’s paradise. We’re seeing serious price drops across the board, from sleek new MacBooks to beastly RTX 50-series gaming rigs. Case in point: the M4 MacBook Air is $150 off, and the Asus TUF F16 with an RTX 5060 is down $310 — which is wild considering how new this hardware is.
But it’s not just the usual suspects on sale. We’re also seeing Copilot+ PCs finally getting their first big discounts, like $130 off the Snapdragon X Plus Surface Laptop. Even Chromebooks are in on the action — the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook is just $182 right now. That’s barely more than a fancy dinner for two.
And if you’re in the UK like I am, don’t worry — the deals are just as juicy. I’ve spotted the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 5070 down over £300, and the M4 MacBook Air is £150 off here too.
The takeaway? This is the longest Prime Day yet — four whole days of deals — and Day 3 is shaping up to be an absolute goldmine if you’re in the market for a new laptop. I’m live-tracking the best laptop deals as they go live — so bookmark this page, and check back often if you want to score something worth your money.

UK Prime Day laptop deals
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.
The best Windows tablet (for my money) is on sale for cheap, but act fast!
I review laptops and tablets for a living, and for my money the best of both worlds is basically the Microsoft Surface Pro 11.
As you can read in our Microsoft Surface Pro 11 review, this lovely 2-in-1 lasted over 12 hours in our battery tests and is a joy to use thanks to its slick design,
The Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is $869 at Amazon, which is almost $400 off the usual asking price for this 13-inch tablet with a Snapdragon X Plus chipset, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Save $300 on this powerful business laptop
Maybe you're looking for a new laptop for work this Prime Day. Well, if you are, the ThinkPad E14 Gen 6 is packed with power and this deal even includes a 100W USB-C docking station from Targus. It has that same iconic ThinkPad look but with 64GB of RAM, it will handle almost anything you can throw at it.
$500 off a thin and light 17-inch laptop
Prime members can get almost 25% off this thin and lightweight 17-inch laptop right now. The LG Gram 17 Pro sports a big, bright display, a full, comfy keyboard, plenty of ports and good battery life—in a surprisingly lightweight and sturdy design that's roughly 0.7 inches thin. If you want a great, lightweight productivity laptop, I'd jump on this deal.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 for $490
Microsoft got it right with the latest version of the Surface Laptop 7. While we don’t find the AI features to be particularly useful, you can safely ignore those and still have one of the best-performing laptops on the market. The battery life will get you through a full day of work and play with ease. Add in the slick design and nice color choices, and you have a device you’ll be proud to carry with you everywhere.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 7: was $1,599 now $1,109 @ Amazon
Both MacBook Air models are on sale!
The 13- and 15-inch M4 MacBook Airs are arguably the best MacBooks for most people, and they're both on sale now for $50 and $150 off, respectively. Thanks to their excellent performance, slim design, and sharp display, there's a lot to love about Apple's thin and light laptops.
One of my favorite laptops is $500 off right now, and it's totally unique
Microsoft's Surface Laptop Studio 2 is one of the more outstanding laptops I've ever reviewed because of its unique sliding touchscreen, and right now you can get one for over $500 off!
As you can see above (and in my Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 review) the 14" 1600p 120Hz touchscreen can slide down to "tent" over the keyboard, transforming what was a normal-looking laptop into a sort of digital easel.
Digital artists and note-takers may appreciate the easel-like design, but even if you never invest in a stylus you can tent the screen down to bring it closer to you while watching movies.
Admittedly, part of the reason it's $500 off is because it's nearly two years old at this point. But Microsoft doesn't look likely to make a new one anytime soon, and the Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM in this model are enough for work, entertainment and even some light gaming.
My favorite budget Windows laptop is cheaper than ever right now
I'm a big fan of the Acer Aspire Go 15 because it gives you the bare minimum you need in a Windows 11 laptop for $300, making it ideal for kids, students and anyone who needs a barebones laptop for basic work and play.
That's a killer value, and right now it's an even better value than usual because the Acer Aspire Go 15 is down to $249 at Amazon. I wrote our Acer Aspire Go 15 review (that's my desk in the photo above, sorry for the mess) and as you can read in that story, this thing lasts over 10 hours in our battery testing and sports a comfy keyboard with a sturdy chassis that can take a beating.
Admittedly, the 15.6-inch 1080p display is a little dim and the components are anemic, but as long as you're just surfing the web, writing and enjoying light entertainment anywhere but outside at noon you'll be just fine.
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.
Yes, RTX 4070 laptops are cheaper than ever!
So here I was, minding my own business, when I saw an RTX 4070 gaming for just $1,349! I did some backtracking and yep, it's one of the cheapest prices I've ever seen!
You may not get the multi-frame gen goodness of the 50-series GPUs, but with DLSS 4, you're getting stellar performance throughout this entire system. On top of that, the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is a screamer, paired with a whopping 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD.
Any game running on that QHD panel up top will take full advantage of that 165Hz refresh rate!
$300 off one of our favorite AI laptops
Curious to try out one of these new-fangled "AI laptops" Microsoft has been promoting?
Now's a great time because you can save some serious cash on a brand-new Lenovo Slim 7i. Amazon has the Aura Edition of this killer ultraportable on sale for a cool $300 off.
It's a capable productivity machine that's nearly as light and as thin as a MacBook Air. And as you can read in our Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition review,
This special edition has extra features like Smart Care (for real-time tech support) and Smart Modes, which make it super-easy to customize your laptop to your needs!
The latest Dell 14 Plus just hit a new low price!
Last time I saw this deal, it was at $949. Well, the Dell 14 Plus has now dropped even further to $849!
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.
This RTX 5050 laptop is now $400 off!
Amazon Prime Day deals aren’t just relegated to Amazon, as other vendors are also slashing prices across the board. Right now, the HP Omen Transcend 14 is $1,429 at HP. That’s not too bad considering you’re saving $400 thanks to this sale. Anyone who might be new to the world of PC gaming or who wants a relatively affordable gaming laptop should give HP’s machine a serious look—especially at this reduced price.
HP Omen Transcend 14: was $1829 now $1429 @ HP
Get $400 off this RTX 5090 gaming laptop
Think high-end RTX 50-series gaming laptop deals were only hitting the entry-level models? Think again.
The powerhouse RTX 5090 is also seeing serious discounts — and this Legion Pro 7i is a perfect example. Packed with an Intel Core Ultra 9-275HX processor, 32GB of RAM, a massive 2TB SSD, and of course, that beastly RTX 5090 GPU, this machine is built for domination. Add in a sharp QHD display and a sleek, minimalist design that fits right into any setup, and you’ve got a dream rig.
With support for DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation, the only real drawback so far has been the premium price tag. But now? There’s a hefty $400 discount making this monster a lot more tempting.
Looking for the Windows MacBook Air? Look no further
The Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition is a great ultraportable that packs a whole lot of power into a slim, sleek and utilitarian package. Seriously premium with an all aluminum shell, featuring a gorgeous 14-inch OLED display, Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD.
This is a great all-rounder for getting things done by day and entertaining by night, and it's 18% off right now.
Swipe this Acer Swift X 14 creator laptop with a $400 drop!
This is one for the creators out there. The Acer Swift X 14 is a great choice for graphics designers or photo and video editors, all thanks to its 14.5-inch (2880 x 1800) OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Along with its RTX 4060 GPU, it's able to handle graphically intensive tasks, and that even includes gaming.
Better yet, the Acer Swift X 14 is now down to just $1,099, which is $400 off the cost. Not bad savings for an OLED laptop with some commendable specs.
In the UK? Grab this RTX 5070 Alienware laptop deal
While those in the U.S. can enjoy this Alienware 16 Aurora with an RTX 5060 for $1099, if you're in the U.K., then you'll be happy to know that its even more powerful sibling is on sale, and it comes with an RTX 5070.
The Alienware 16X Aurora with an RTX 5070 is £300 off at Amazon, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a gaming laptop packing this kind of heat at a similar price. It sports an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, RTX 5070, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. Even better, it's glorious 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display comes with a 240Hz refresh rate, which you'll see shine thanks to Nvidia's DLSS 4.
Better act fast, though, as stock appears to be low!
Wait...a MacBook Air for $699!?
Apple Silicon may have a shelf-life, but it's super long. The M2 chip is still a serious performer in 2025, which is what makes this dirt cheap M2 MacBook Air so attractive!
It's impressively fast and power efficient all at once, and you get that same sleek, utilitarian chassis that you get with the M3 and M4 Airs. This is a solid shout of a laptop and it's $100 off right now.
Feeling Pro? The MacBook Pro M4 is cheaper than ever!
I love the MacBook Pro — packing peak performance and shockingly good power efficiency into a sleek, premium aluminum shell that looks ready for work (especially in space black). And right now, the latest and greatest M4 systems are cheaper than ever.
Whether you’re eyeing the base M4, the more capable M4 Pro, or the powerhouse M4 Max, you can now knock at least $150 off the price. As someone who edits video, codes, and occasionally dives into some gaming, I can say the MacBook Pro more than keeps up. It’s a machine built for people who push their gear to the limit—and now it’s finally a bit easier on the wallet too.
This RTX 5070 gaming laptop is SHOCKINGLY CHEAP!
Asus’ TUF series has evolved beyond its budget roots, and the Asus TUF Gaming A16 is proof of that. This machine packs serious power — and now it’s seeing a serious discount in what might be one of the best anti-Prime Day deals around.
Right now at Best Buy, you can score the Asus TUF Gaming A16 with an RTX 5070 for just $1,399, a sharp drop from its regular $1,699 price. That $300 discount gets you a whole lot of performance: an AMD Ryzen 9 270 CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD — a top-tier spec sheet for gamers and creators alike.
Sure, the display isn’t ultra-premium, but the 16-inch FHD+ panel (1920 x 1200) with a 165Hz refresh rate still delivers crisp visuals and buttery-smooth gameplay.
If you’re looking for serious gaming horsepower without paying premium-brand prices, this is the deal to beat — and it’s beating many of Prime Day’s so-called “best” offers. It's only a tad smaller than the Asus TUF Gaming A18 I've tested with the same GPU, and I'm having a blast with that.
Snag this seriously lightweight LG Gram for over $250 off
The MacBook Air may be one of the thinnest laptops around, but this LG Gram 14 isn't far behind it. In fact, it's actually lighter, and comes with a great discount thanks to Prime Day.
The LG Gram 14 is now over $250 off at Amazon, boasting Copilot+ AI capabilities thanks to its latest Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, along with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. It's amazingly thin at 0.67 inches (the MacBook Air M4 is 0.44 inches), and is incredibly lightweight at 2.47 pounds (2.7 pounds for the MacBook Air).
As a laptop that can power through multitasking without breaking a sweat in a portable, featherweight design, the LG Gram 14 is a great shout for students and workers on the move.
Bag my favorite budget laptop (that doesn't even feel budget) for less than $500!
When I tried the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X a few months ago, I was confident that this could be the budget laptop to beat in 2025 — managing to find the right balance between ergonomics, performance and power efficiency without breaking the bank.
And now, it's even cheaper with $180 off the list price, which brings this Snapdragon X system down to just $499.
Yep you read that right, Snapdragon. That means snappy single-core performance for opening apps in a zip, and sipping that battery to make it last well over all-day long. Pair that with a big 15.3-inch display, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, and you've got a stellar cheap Copilot+ PC!
Snag the perfect back-to-school Chromebook for under $350
If you're looking ahead to going back to school and need a cheapish machine to handle the basics, a Chromebook could be the way to go.
The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 is a solid example of what you can do with Google's laptops — there's enough power to keep the lightweight OS smooth and the vivid and bright 1080p touchscreen helps too.
And with all the Google AI additions such as Gemini and NotebookLM, a Chromebook Plus is the best way to go with a better service in mind. You can get 23% off one right now.
The power of an RTX 5070 Ti for $400 less!
Right, now this is an RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop that can handle the heat. It's still pricey, but getting $400 off this beast offers huge value for a gaming PC upgrade. Yes, the RTX 5070 Ti will perform brilliantly in the latest games, but it's the rest of what this Asus ROG Strix G16 offers that pulls it all together.
This Asus ROG Strix G16 with an RTX 5070 Ti is now $400 off, which means you can now grab it for under $2,000. But it also offers the latest (and powerful) Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. Moreover, it boasts a 16-inch 2.5K (2560 x 1600) Nebula display with a 240Hz refresh rate, 16:10 aspect ratio and speedy 3ms response time. Oh, and a MUX switch to boost gaming performance and a way to customize the RAM, SSD and fans without needing a screwdriver.
Now that's a powerful machine, and for under $2,000, it's a gaming laptop you'll want to check out.
A Windows 11 laptop for under $250? The deal is here!
Who said Chromebooks were the only pocket-friendly laptops you can get? We were already big fans of this Acer Aspire Go 15 due to its price, but it's now cheaper than ever thanks to a $50 price cut!
Right now, the Acer Aspire Go 15 is down to $249 at Amazon, and that's amazing savings on a Windows 11 PC. It's made for simple, everyday tasks like writing in documents, browsing the web and watching shows with its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display, so don't expect a complete powerhouse here. But you'll find over 10 hours of battery life, a comfy keyboard and a premium-feeling design.
As a family laptop or for students who need something affordable for studying, this is a great choice.
Now $150 off MacBooks! Easily one of the best laptops deals right now
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!
