I review laptops for a living and I'd buy these 9 Prime Day laptop deals right now

Acer Aspire Go 15: was $299 now $269 @ Amazon
I like the Acer Aspire Go 15 a lot because it's basically a fully functioning 15-inch laptop for under $300. This model is discounted even more for Prime Day, and the Intel Core i3 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage drive are good enough for basic work and browsing the web.

Acer Swift Go 14: was $999 now $699 @ Amazon
The Acer Swift Go 14 was one of the first "AI laptops" to hit the market, and this model is a great Windows 11 ultraportable thanks to its Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. The 14-inch 1200p touchscreen is also nice to have when you'd rather tap than click. 

MacBook Air 13 (M3/8GB RAM/256GB): was $1,099 now $899 @ Amazon
The 13-inch MacBook Air M3 is the latest and greatest Air, so it's great to see you can already get one at a significant $200 discount. For that you get the power of the M3 chip driving the lovely 13-inch screen, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for storage.

MacBook Pro 14" (M3/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,299 @ Amazon
If you're looking for more power without breaking the bank, the 14-inch MacBook Pro 14 offers a good balance of performance and value. This starting model has the base M3 chip but can push it harder than the Air can thanks to onboard cooling, and you get 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. 

Acer Predator Triton Neo 16: was $1,899 now $1,499 @ Amazon 
This gaming laptop is a steal at this discounted price thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB SSD. It's got enough power to make the best PC games run great on its 16-inch WQXGA+ 165Hz display. 

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2: was $2,099 now $1,889 @ Amazon
I really love the Surface Studio 2 because of its unique sliding touchscreen that can slide over to cover the keyboard like an easel. The 14-inch touchscreen is great for doodling or tapping through Windows 11, and with the Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD this 2-in-1 is great for getting work done and some light gaming.

Alienware x16 R2: was $2,699 now $1,999 @ Best Buy
The Alienware x16 R2 is a great thin and light gaming laptop, and this discounted model is a great buy thanks to its RTX 4070 GPU and Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU. Plus, you get 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and a speedy 16-inch (2560 x 1600) 240Hz display.  

Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 (RTX 4090): was $3,699 now $2,999 @ Best Buy
This beefy gaming laptop is on deep discount right now, and it's worth the price thanks to its beefy Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU and speedy AMD X3D CPU. Plus you get 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage, as well as a speedy 17.3-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) 240Hz display.

MacBook Pro 16” (M3 Max/48GB/1TB): was $3,999 now $3,499 @ Amazon
The ultimate MacBook is on sale. This is a serious monster of a laptop for creative professionals on the go — sporting an M3 Max chip with 14-core CPU and 40-core GPU, 48GB of RAM and a spacious 1TB SSD. It also has a stunning 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, and comes in the sleek Space Black color option.
