We’ve gone hands-on with dozens of the best laptops of this year, and only highlight sales on laptops we’ve tested and can personally vouch for. That means significant discounts, solid value relative to price, good portability, and respectable performance. Read on to explore some of the best laptop deals Amazon (and competing retailers) have to offer. As the event continues, we will be continuously updating this page with the best deals, flash sales, and online discounts we can find live.
The 2025 MacBook Air M4 refines the user experience of the thin and lightweight laptop that pioneered the trend. It now supports two external monitors with the lid open, has more starting memory for cheaper, and does video conferencing better than almost anything else. With all the updates coming to MacOS 26 (Liquid Glass interface, the Phone app on MacBook, and a totally revamped Spotlight feature), the MacBook Air M4 is THE productivity laptop for modern professionals.
This nifty laptop accessory makes it easy to work standing up or sitting down, and can also be used with a tablet. Our editor has replaced her standing desk with this accessory, and it’s on sale for under $50 now.
The Acer Aspire 14 AI is similar to the Acer Aspire 15, but offers “a few steps up” in terms of hardware and features, according to our laptop reviewer. It’s a great value, especially if you’re looking for a computer designed for AI workflows. Our expert said it was “one of the better bang-for-your-buck options available right now.”
The MacBook Air M4 is our favorite laptop for work, thanks to its ultra-portability and suite of productivity features. “The MacBook Air M4 is a modest upgrade from its predecessor but pushes the line forward overall. In fact, with burgeoning Apple Intelligence features, the same camera technology as the MacBook Pro M4, upgraded hardware, and a lower starting price, the MacBook Air seems like the most logical choice for a new Apple laptop in 2025,” our laptop reviewer writes.
If you’re over carrying around a bulky, heavy laptop to and from the office, we got you. LG’s Gram Pro lineup features some of the lightest, thinnest laptops on the market. We reviewed LG’s 16-inch 2-in-1 Gram Pro last year, and praised it for its fast and responsive performance, brilliant OLED display, and surprisingly good battery.
Acer’s Swift Go 14 was among the first round of laptops to come loaded with Intel’s Meteor Lake AI processors last year, and it does so for an attractive price point. The Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 processor offers snappy performance and fantastic battery life, letting it hang with other machines like the Asus Zenbook A14, and the Lenovo ThinkPad E14, which are significantly more expensive.
The 15-inch Galaxy Book4 Pro rounds out Samsung’s lineup of thin and light laptops with brilliant displays and premium physical forms. We got great performance out of this laptop during our testing, with the Snapdragon X Plus processor and 16GB of RAM delivering responsive performance in a variety of tasks from productivity to content creation.
If you’re looking for a Chromebook with a 2-in-1 form factor, this one from HP comes with all the feature perks of a Chromebook Plus in a convertible. It’s armed with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of local storage, too, so performance will feel snappy and responsive in the lightweight operating system.
This year, Prime Day starts on Tuesday, July 8, and goes through Friday, July 11.
Manufacturers know consumers are on the lookout for deals during Prime Day, so yes, quite a few of the laptop sales have significantly steeper discounts than during regular sales throughout the year.
Our team of reviewers at ZDNET only write about deals we personally can vouch for and would personally recommend. We scour the deals for sale prices that are at least 20% off, or are hardly ever on sale, using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
