It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed.

MacBook Air 15 with MacBook Air 13

This is the cheapest price we've seen the 15-inch MacBook Air drop to! For that big-screen Mac experience on a budget, we absolutely love the Air — bringing stellar performance and shocking battery life, alongside that gorgeous 15-inch panel. There's a reason why we call it one of the best laptops you can buy right now, and with 20% off, it's a must-buy!

Acer Nitro V

This is the best cheap gaming laptop deal you can buy right now. The Acer Nitro V with RTX 4050 is just $649 right now! With 17% off, you're getting a lot more bang for your buck than you'd expect. I know that a lot of people will take a look at the numbers "4050" and fear poor performance. But trust me when I say with DLSS 3.5, you can get a lot more performance than you'd imagine. In fact, I found this out when facing off the cheap HP Victus against the Asus ROG Ally X.

In short, you can get over 60 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with this lower-end GPU!

Asus ProArt P16

The ultimate MacBook Pro killer is now $200 off... In fact, that's not a fair comparison. The Asus ProArt P16 takes on the 16-inch MacBook, so in all honesty, it's actually closer to $1,000 less than the comparable Apple machine! This 16-inch monster packs a scarily fast AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU, alongside the RTX 4060 GPU for peak prosumer performance (and admirable gaming speeds.

And don't even get me started on that drop dead gorgeous 4K OLED panel. Insane value for money when you realize all this is just $1,699.

Plugable TBT4-UD5

Grabbing a great laptop deal during Prime Day is awesome, but that's really only part of the story. You need to build up your accessories alongside your laptop to really extract the most potential. And if you're regularly plugging it into a desk setup, a good docking station is essential.

Good news for you! my favorite docking station — the Plugable TBT4-UD5 — is down to its lowest price. With all the connectivity you need for a desk setup of your dreams (including multi-monitor support, SD card slots and speedy USB-C ports), this goes a lot further than that $158 price tag may suggest.

Dell XPS 13

Been talking on Twitter (X) with someone about thin and lite notebook recommendations that aren't the M3 MacBook Air. And in terms of the choices available in the big Prime Day sales, there are two key options. One I've already talked about — the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. But the second is Dell XPS 13 with Snapdragon X Elite. The battery life is crazy good at just under 20 hours, and Qualcomm's chip is a screamer for getting stuff done!

Acer Chromebook 311

There's always a dirt cheap Chromebook deal during big sales events, and we've just found it! Don't fall for the sub-$80 second-hand models, spend a little more at $119 and pick up the Acer Chromebook 311 from Best Buy! Buying new means you'll get all of the new AI features coming to standard Chromebooks over the next few weeks.

m3 MacBook Pro

We were so happy when Apple finally killed the 13-inch MacBook Pro last year, and replaced it with the M3 14-inch MacBook Pro — really making this lower-tier model feel Pro. And now, you can get $300 off it, which drops the price to a ludicrously low $1,299. For what you can do with it, in terms of creative workloads like 4K edits, and the insanely good 17+ hour battery life, that is a steal!

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge

(Image credit: Future)

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you... That is a Snapdragon X Elite laptop that is cheaper than pretty much all the Snapdragon X Plus systems you see out there! That is immense value for money — especially when you take into account that its a mighty thin and light like the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. That OLED display is beautiful, and shows everything smoothly thanks to that powerful Arm chip and 16GB DDR5 RAM.

Asus TUF Gaming A16

(Image credit: Future)

Quite frankly, for a 16-inch gaming laptop with RTX 4070 GPU, this is an insane price! Right now, you can get $400 off the Asus TUF Gaming A16 — dropping it down to its lowest ever price of just $1,399. We recently reviewed the smaller TUF Gaming A14 sibling, and absolutely adored it. With even more horsepower and a larger display, this looks set to be one of the biggest deals of Prime Day!

13-inch MacBook Air M3 on a desk

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

I'm kicking off this live blog with one of the best Prime Day laptop deals I've seen. For a limited time, you can get the MacBook Air M3 for just $849. That's the lowest price ever for this MacBook and an epic value. Yes, there's the older M2 model for a lower price (on sale for $749 at Amazon) and there's even the chance we'll see M4-based Macs soon, but the M3 MacBook Air is a stellar machine for Mac lovers on a budget. At this price, it's an unbeatable bargain.
