Amazon Prime Day laptop sales live: all the biggest discounts available right now

Well here we are again, if you missed out on the summer's Prime Day laptop sales you're in luck - Amazon's gone and done it all again this October. We're signing on for two days of scrolling now - and we'll be kicking off with all the biggest offers live right now momentarily. Sit back, relax, and let us do all the spec and price comparisons for you. 

Asus 14-inch laptop (Intel Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage), now $163.50 (was $269.99) at Amazon

We'll start things off simple - this everyday machine has just dropped more than $100 off its price in Amazon's Prime Day laptop sales. You're getting a budget spec here for sure, but with an Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB RAM, and a 64GB hard drive there's still plenty of room for web browsing and streaming. You can pick all of that up for just $163.50 right now.

Apple MacBook Air (2020), now $799 (was $999) at Amazon

We're taking things back a way now, but only because there's an excellent sale price on the previous generation MacBook Air. You're still getting that blazingly powerful M1 chip in here, but saving $200 and securing yourself a luxury laptop for just $799. We've only ever seen this price once before (back in last year's November sales), and that was only for a very brief moment. If you're looking for a premium machine without that hefty price tag, this is an excellent opportunity. 

Asus TUF F15 gaming laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, GTX 1650), now $589.99 (was $649.99) at Amazon

If you'd prefer something of the gaming persuasion, you'll find a particularly strong price on this Asus TUF F15. Yes, this is an entry level model - packing an older 10th generation i5 processor and Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card. However, there's still plenty of value in here if you're after a budget build under $600. You're picking up a slimline machine with some decent heft for just $589.99 here - saving $60 over the $649.99 MSRP. 

Acer Chromebook 512 (Intel Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage), now $79.99 (was $199.99) at Amazon

If you're after something dirt cheap, it doesn't get muckier than this. You're spending just $79.99 on this Acer Chromebook, and still picking up a solid processor for your cash (we often see cheaper MediaTek CPUs inside these super budget laptops). That 12-inch display is also ever so slightly larger than the 11-inches we're usually restricted to in this price point as well. If you can get past those chunky bezels, this is an excellent buy for light use. 

Dell XPS 13 (i5-1230U, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD), now $749 (was $999) at Dell

We're switching gears now and heading over to Dell's competing sales event, where you'll find $250 off the XPS 13. That leaves us with an excellent $749 sales price on a machine that rarely drops below $800, particularly good value considering there's the latest 12th generation Intel i5 processor under the hood. 

Acer Aspire 5 (i3-115G4, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD), now $259.99 (was $379.99) at Amazon

We've stumbled across this excellent saving on the Acer Aspire 5, dropping the slimline everyday laptop down to just $259.99. That's a full $120 saving, and you're not exactly skimping on the specs here either. There's an excellent 11th generation Intel i3 processor under the hood (a true rarity at this price point), as well as a 128GB SSD. Yes, you're still picking up the 4GB RAM we would expect to see under $300, but the rest of this spec sheet is glowing. 

Acer Aspire Vero (i7-1195G7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD), now $579.99 (was $699.99) at Amazon

If you'd prefer something a little more sophisticated, we'd turn your attention to this Acer Aspire Vero model. You're getting an excellent set of specs for your cash here (we almost never see 16GB RAM available for under $600), as well as a free sleeve to go with it as well. All of that will set you back $579.99 in today's Amazon Prime laptop sales, thanks to a $120 discount. 

Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop (i7-11800H, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, RTX 3050 Ti), now $749.99 (was $929.99) at Amazon

Not only are you getting Nvidia's latest generation of graphics card inside this Acer Nitro 5, but you're picking up a turbo-charged Ti version of the RTX 3050 card. That's excellent value for just $749.99 - especially with a 512GB SSD and i7 processor. You're saving $180 over that original $929.99 MSRP here, and scoring yourself an excellent mid-range machine for a brand new record low price. We haven't ever seen this rig drop below $789.99 before today. 

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 (Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD), now $899.99 (was $1,199.99) at Amazon

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 is a premium piece of kit, so scoring a major discount on an upper mid-range build is always exciting. We've never seen this particular model deviate from that $1,199.99 MSRP at Amazon before, so for it to drop with a $300 discount is beyond impressive. You're getting a solid spec wrapped up a slimline, uber-portable machine here - all for just $899.99. 

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook (i3-1115G4, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage), now $279.99 (was $429.99) at Amazon

We rarely see laptops with 8GB RAM dropping down to this $279.99 price point, but the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i is doing just that in Amazon's Prime Day laptop sales. You're getting an excellent piece of kit for your cash here, packed out with 128GB of storage and an 11th generation i3 processor. A $150 saving is certainly working hard for you here, saving you from a $429.99 MSRP. 

HP touchscreen laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD), now $399.99 (was $629.99) at Best Buy

We've taken a trip over to Best Buy's competing sale and spotted this excellent $399.99 sales price on the 15.6-inch touchscreen HP laptop. That's a stunning result - we rarely see 512GB SSDs this cheap, and especially not on models with that premium display. You're saving $230 overall here, making this one of our favorite Prime Day laptop deals available now - and it's not even at Amazon. 

HP 17-inch laptop (i3, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD), now $309.99 (was $479.99) at Amazon

This is a strange one. You're getting that larger 17.3-inch display on this HP machine (something that usually carries quite a premium), but dropping down to 4GB RAM for the pleasure. Still, if you're looking for the big-screen treatment and won't be multi-tasking with it too much this is a solid offer. You're even getting a 256GB SSD, a storage size we don't see at $309 too often. All in all, there's a solid $170 discount here, bringing the $479.99 MSRP down to $309.99. 

Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition (Ryzen 9, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Radeon RX 6800M), now $1,099.99 (was $1,699.99) at Best Buy

From the almost borderless QHD screen to the Ryzen 9 processor humming away inside, the Asus ROG Strix G15 is a sight to behold. Even more impressive, though, is that $600 discount in Best Buy's competing Prime Day laptop deals. You'll find an excellent $1,099.99 sales price here, a far cry from the original $1,699.99 MSRP. 

Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (Intel Celeron N4000, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage), now $199.99 (was $249.99) at Amazon

If you're after something slightly different, it's worth checking out this $50 discount on the Acer Chromebook Spin 311. You'll find a $199.99 sales price here, down from $249.99, great value considering the touchscreen 2-in-1 convertible design. Because this is a Chromebook you won't need to worry so much about only picking up 64GB of storage - these machines are designed to run mostly off cloud storage. 

Dell Inspiron 16 (i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD), now $529.99 (was $749.99) at Dell

We're heading back to Dell for an excellent saving on the larger 16-inch Inspiron now. This 12th generation Intel i5 configuration has taken a massive $220 discount down to $529.99 in today's counter-sales. That's a great price considering you're packing the latest Intel processor and a larger 512GB SSD under the hood - not to mention that extra screen space and slimline chassis. 

Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro with Intel ARC (i7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD), now $1459.99 (was $1899.99) at Amazon

Even at a discount, this Galaxy Book2 Pro runs pricier than many other examples of today's laptop deals, but here you're getting a machine that can pretty much do it all. With an i7 processor and 32GB of RAM, you're equipped for hardcore video editing, and the Intel Arc GPU promises to keep you going for a bit of gaming, too. With a 15.6" screen and light 2.5lb weight, it's an impressive combination of power and portability for $1459.99.

HP Victus 15.6" gaming laptop (Ryzen 7, 16GB of RAM, RTX 3050 Ti), now $699.99 (was $1099.99) at Amazon

If you're looking to get a gaming laptop, you won't find many better price-to-performance deals than this HP Victus gaming laptop at $699.99. A Ryzen 7 and an RTX 3050 Ti are a powerful combination for gamers, and you'll have a lovely 15.6" 1080p IPS screen to display your games - and that screen has a 144Hz refresh rate, so those games will look buttery smooth.

It's day 2 of the Amazon Prime Day laptop sales and deals!

The deals and discounts keep coming in as well as continuing onwards in day 2 of the Amazon Prime Day laptop sales and deals. We're hoping we'll see some fresh new deals crop up, but whatever happens, you can count on us to present you with proper highlights no matter what kind of laptop you're in the market for.

This Razer Blade 14 gaming laptop is a (relative) steal at $1,899.99 at Amazon (was $2,799.99)

This is a belter of an Amazon prime Day laptop deal, and even though it is gaming-focused, it could be perfect for those who need just a downright powerful laptop for work or productivity too. Its RTX 3080 graphics card, Ryzen 9 processor, and 16GB of RAM will have you well covered for all kinds of gaming and work, and the QHD screen is a beaut too. All in a smaller, excellent 14-inch frame, and with a massive $900 off the list - it's yours for $1,899.99 today (was $2,799.99) and this is a lowest ever price as far as we can tell.

For full disclosure, Amazon is noting that its 'regular price' is only $100 more so if you're not a Priem member, this is still a great price to consider.

ASUS ROG FLow Z13 Gaming Laptop Tablet - down to $1,519.05 at Amazon ($1,799.99)

Yes, you read that correctly: this is a Gaming Laptop Tablet from ASUS. And it's also part of a wider setup that can include adding a dedicated, external GPU! It's a really snazzy bit of kit, and probably one of the best gaming laptops and tablets simultaneously. Anyway, this deal is just for the core part of that setup, and is on a laptop/tablet with an RTX 3050 - right now the price has dropped to $1,519.05 (was $1,799.99).

This 11.6-inch model will serve you incredibly well for online work and streaming and is incredibly portable. At an Amazon Prime Day laptop sale price of $169.99 (was $249.99) it's a new record low and is an easy recommendation too.
