We're keeping track of the best Prime Day laptop deals, which mostly revolve around Apple MacBooks, LG grams, and gaming laptops from Acer and Asus.
UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 2:15 p.m. EDT This story has been updated to reflect current pricing and availability during Prime Day 2024.
Don't miss out on the best Prime Day laptop deals. See our picks below:
On any given day, Amazon's best laptop deals include some markdowns on Apple MacBooks... and not much else. The retail giant lists a lot of older and/or discontinued PCs that aren't super worth it. Amazon also has a penchant for inflating sticker prices, making discounts look steeper than they really are.
Those factors, combined with the heavy presence of sketchy third-party sellers among Amazon's laptop listings, make it one of the worst places to buy a laptop on the internet (again, unless you're shopping for MacBooks). We usually recommend shopping at Best Buy or going directly to the manufacturer's online store instead.
The fine print here is that Amazon usually gets its act together for major savings events, including its flagship Prime Day sale (set for July 16 and 17). When such sales are live, it's way easier to find heftier discounts on new laptops shipped and sold by Amazon itself — though it still behooves savvy shoppers to cross-check prices elsewhere, just in case.
After a couple of weeks of lousy early Prime Day laptop deals from Amazon, those hefty discounts have finally appeared on the first day of its sale. (Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale might've been the motivation it needed.) Amazon's usual selection of MacBook Airs and Pros have all hit record-low prices, while a handful of clamshell and 2-in-1 LG gram laptops are $300 to $500 off for the Windows crew. For shoppers in search of a budget gaming laptop, a range of PCs from Acer and Asus are on sale for $500 to $1,200.
Twelve-hundred bucks is also the exact amount of the highest Prime Day laptop discount I've spotted so far: A Razer Blade 15 from last year is marked down from $2,799.99 to $1,599.99 for Prime members. It comes with a free copy of Black Myth: Wukong, too.
I'll continue to keep track of the best Prime Day laptop deals as the sale continues, so check back soon (and often) if you're hoping to see different models or configurations.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. I've cross-checked pricing with manufacturers' sites whenever possible to make sure the deals are legit. (If Amazon had the wrong MSRP, I corrected it and adjusted the discount accordingly.) I've also weeded out laptops sold by third-party sellers — if they have "Ships from/Sold by Amazon.com" underneath their "Buy Now" button, we're cool.
Read Mashable's full review of the 15-inch Apple MacBook Air (M3).
Apple upgraded its latest MacBook Air with WiFi 6E support, the ability to drive two external monitors at the same time (with its lid closed), and an M3 chip that was 20% faster than its predecessor's CPU in our testing. It "may seem like a simple refresh," said Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon, "but as someone who owns the M2 MacBook Air, I’d definitely trade it in for the new-generation model."
After chilling at $999 for the past few weeks, the 13-inch base model has dropped to $899 on Prime Day. The 15-inch version with a bigger display and two extra speakers is also on sale at a record-low of $1,049 (normally $1,299) with an on-page coupon. Best Buy was matching those prices at the time of writing, but only for paid (Plus or Total) members of its My Best Buy program.

Powered by an all-new Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor, the LG gram 17 is a thin big-screener that's impressively light for its size: it weighs in at just 2.96 pounds, making it even airier than a 15-inch M3 MacBook Air.
This particular configuration with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage actually retails for $1,399.99 on the LG website, meaning Amazon's Prime Day price of $899.99 is an even better deal than advertised. (Ignore its listed "typical price" of $1,245.81.) You'll save a total of 36%.
