The Amazon Prime Day laptop deals are officially over, but that doesn't mean they're gone for good. You can still save plenty if you know where to look, and that's where we come in. Our bargain-hunters remain on-call to find you the best offers, and we've listed these below. Just be sure to move quickly. These discounts won't last for much longer, so we'd highly recommend hitting checkout soon to avoid missing out.
Prime Day laptop deals usually mean sales with other retailers, as well, so we've gathered a few of those here, too. At the end of the day, it's about the consumer getting a great deal, and that's what we're aiming to provide for you. We've spotted record low prices on top Asus rigs as well as a few sweet on the Acer Aspire range. But it's not just Acer products on sale, as we've seen savings for Chromebooks, Windows laptops, and more during Prime Day 2022.
We'll be keeping this page stocked up with all of the latest offers, and adding to it as soon as more come in. So if you're on the hunt for a laptop for a great price, keep checking in to see if a deal pops up that's right for you.

(opens in new tab)Amazon Prime Day laptop deals: what to expect
When will Prime Day laptop deals start?
Amazon Prime Day laptop deals are live now, with deals starting on July 12-13, though we have been seeing discounts appearing a little earlier. That's because other retailers like to get in first and start rolling their own sales ahead of the official dates.
Do you need a Prime membership for Prime Day laptop deals?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but yes - to take advantage of official Prime Day laptop deals, you will need an Amazon Prime (opens in new tab) membership. However, it's not too big an inconvenience, and you can often find free trials available in the lead up to the sale as well. Alongside original shows via Amazon Prime Video, it gets you access to free books and next-day delivery for many orders.
It's also worth noting that we tend to see some of the more competitive mid-range models available at other stores. That means it's well worth keeping your net wide this year, as retailers like Dell, Best Buy, and Walmart in the US often have some stunning discounts as well. In the UK, we'd keep a close eye on Currys, Argos, and Laptops Direct.
Which laptop should you buy on Amazon Prime Day?
You can easily score hundreds of dollars in discounts on some of the most powerful laptops on the market during Prime Day, but that money is going to be wasted if you simply won't use them. The best Prime Day laptop deals are the ones that offer you the highest value when it comes to specs, features, and form factor. That's why we're helping you work out exactly which laptops you should be concentrating on this summer.
We've broken this guide down by use-case, running through the specs and features you should be on the lookout for if you're after a budget, everyday machine, a PC for working from home or study, a content creation tool, or something that will make your Steam library sing. You'll find the recommended spec lists for each of these uses, and the prices we would expect to find them at, just below.
| Row 0 - Cell 0 | Processor | RAM | Storage | Extras | Prime Day price |
| Light web browsing and streaming | AMD A4 / AMD A6 / Intel Celeron N4020 | 4GB | 32GB - 128GB | NA | $100 - $300 / £100 - £300 |
| Working from home / study | Intel Core i3 / i5 / Ryzen 5 | 8GB | 256GB SSD - 512GB SSD | 14-inch or 15.6-inch display | $300 - $500 / £300 - £500 |
| Content creation | Intel Core i5 / i7 / Ryzen 5 / Ryzen 7 | 8GB - 16GB | 512GB SSD | Potential for a dedicated GPU | $500 - $800 / £500 - £800 |
| Gaming | Intel Core i5 / i7 / Ryzen 5 / Ryzen 7 | 16GB - 32GB | 512GB SSD - 1TB SSD | RTX 30-Series GPU | $800 - $1,500 / £800 - £1,500 |
What to expect from budget Prime Day laptop deals
Watchlist:
- Acer Chromebook Spin 11: $200 / £300
- HP Stream 14-inch: $300 / £200
- Dell Inspiron 15 3000: $250 / £250
If you're just on the lookout for a simple web-browsing / note taking machine, you'll be shopping in the budget section this Prime Day. You won't be breaking past $400 / £400 here, though you'll likely be moving away from Intel's Core processors and AMD's Ryzen series, and could be picking up smaller hard drives rather than 256GB SSDs. Still, if you don't need the power those components can offer, there's no point in buying them.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 311 pops up time and time again during Prime Day laptop deals, usually dropping that $300 / £300 MSRP down to around $200 / £300. We often see this model featured in flash sales as well, which means you could be breaking past that $200 / £200 budget, hitting prices like $179 / £179. Of course, this is a super budget Chromebook, but it does offer a 2-in-1 design for additional functionality.
The 11-inch HP Stream is another dirt cheap option, but we'd actually recommend eyeing up the 14-inch model instead. Price differences between these machines are usually negligible, at around $40 - $50 / £40 - £50, and that's money well spent to avoid the cramped layout of a smaller device. The latest iteration has only ever seen its $329 MSRP drop to $319 in the US so far, however we're still optimistic. Previous generations have fallen far further than that, and the UK £329 RRP on older models has given way to £179 - £200 costs in the past as well.
Moving away from Amazon, though, we'd always keep a close eye on the Dell Inspiron 15 3000. This budget machine is usually the brand's flagship for headline-grabbing super cheap Prime Day laptop deals, working to break attention away from Amazon itself. You'll often find an Intel processor with 4GB or 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD for around $250 / £250 but they do sell quickly.
What to expect from mid-range Prime Day laptop deals
Watchlist:
- Acer Aspire 5: $400 / £400
- HP Pavilion 14: $400 / £400
- Asus Vivobook 15: $500 / £500
- Lenovo IdeaPad 3: $350 / £350
The Acer Aspire 5 and HP Pavilion 14 are two of our top recommendations any time someone asks for a solid laptop that doesn't break the bank. No time is this more true than during sales events like Prime Day laptop deals. The mid-range is generally classed at between $400 - $800 / £400 - £800, though the lower boundary of that range does blur slightly with entry level depending on the machine and configuration you're choosing. The Acer Aspire 5 and HP Pavilion are both already cheap machines just nudging this boundary, offering solid mid-range specs (16GB RAM and 512GB SSDs) for around $400-$500 / £400-£500, so further savings are a bonus.
However, we'd also recommend keeping an eye on the Asus Vivobook 15. This seems to be an Amazon favorite, regularly appearing during Prime Day laptop deals with some of the best value on offer. List prices put an 8GB RAM / 512GB SSD configuration at around $700-$800 at the time of writing, but we regularly see these specs at around $500 / £500 during sales events.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is also another regular during larger discounts. These are simple laptops that pack mid-range Ryzen 5 / i5 processors, 8GB RAM, and 256GB / 512GB SSDs into a price point that can sometimes near $350 / £350. These rigs are sold by the boat load whenever Prime Day laptop deals roll around, so expect some excellent value for money if you're not too invested in a premium chassis.
What to expect from high-end Prime Day laptop deals
Watchlist:
- M1 MacBook Air (2021): $800 / £800
- MacBook Pro 14-inch (2022): $1,700 / £1,700
- Dell XPS 13: $1,300 / £1,300
High-end machines generally start at around $800 / £800 and continue well past $2,000 / £2,000 in some cases. The justification for these costs can come from two places; powerful components and luxury designs. Machines like the MacBook and HP Spectre x360 may not pack the biggest SSDs or copious amounts of RAM, but they certainly feel luxurious and offer chassis features that others simply can't. Meanwhile laptops like the Dell XPS 13 cram high-end components into impossibly tiny shells for additional value on top.
We'd recommend keeping a look out for four high-end machines in particular this year; the 2020 M1 MacBook Air, 2021 MacBook Pro 14-inch, Dell XPS 13, and the HP Spectre x360.
At two years old, the M1 MacBook Air is ready for some serious discounts, and with the M2 processor reportedly round the corner, sales prices could start to seriously slip soon. We've seen costs hovering at around $950 / £880 over the last few months, but we could see a return of that record low $799 sales price from November.
If you're after something a little more recent in this year's Prime Day laptop deals, the MacBook Pro 14-inch could offer up some of its first substantial discounts. Price cuts have been more forthcoming over the last two months (this machine was launched in October 2021, so we're due some initial savings), dropping down to a record low $1,749 in March / £1,735 in April. With an MSRP of $1,999 / £1,899 on the base model, we're hoping for an additional $50 / £50 off in the summer.
The Dell XPS 13, meanwhile, is the holy grail of slimline ultrabooks with a premium price tag. However, we're still waiting for those 12th generation Intel processors to hit the 13-inch model, and, should they do so before Prime Day laptop deals kick off, those 11th generation configurations will drop their prices dramatically. A 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD i7 model could well push past a figure of around $1,300 around the web, and more entry level machines may drop to three-figure prices as well.
Of course, Prime Day gaming laptop deals and Prime Day PC deals will also slot into this high-end category, so if you're planning on firing up Steam any time soon we'd recommend you head over to our full guide on what to expect from MSI, Razer, Asus and more.
Of course, an Amazon Prime day wouldn't be complete with lots of Prime Day TV deals and Prime Day board game deals. If you're after something more portable, though, we'd recommend checking out Prime Day iPad deals.
