The second Amazon Prime Day sale is set to kick off tomorrow, but there are already superb laptop deals to check out today if you're looking for your
next machine.
It's actually a great time to consider picking up a new laptop because
several other retailers also have rival events right now including stores that I consider superior for laptop deals.
With the end of Windows 10 looming, I'm here to help you find a deal on a next-gen machine. I'm rounding everything up just below, including superb MacBook and Chromebook deals for those looking for something a little different.
Speaking of which, a couple of highlights today include some great cheap Chromebooks and Windows 11 machines at Best Buy, record-low prices on
MacBooks at Amazon, and discounts at Dell on some of our favorite machines. Over in the UK, Curry's 'Epic Deals' event includes discounts that quite frankly outshine Amazon's right now.
At the top of the page, I've included quick links to the various retailer sales. Below that, you'll find a curated list for both the US and UK that includes specific recommendations. Finally, I'm also posting live updates right at the bottom of the page. Expect plenty more recommendations and updates throughout the day, so don't hesitate to keep checking in as I find more laptop deals at Amazon and other retailers today. Prime Day laptop deals

Processor: MediaTek
RAM: 4G
B Storage: 64GB
This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a very basic device, but it's ridiculously cheap, making it a good buy for general web browsing, admin
tasks and schoolwork. It won't offer great performance and will struggle with anything beyond light use, but the lean ChromeOS gets more from the entry-level components and ensures a lengthy full-day battery life. View Deal
Processor: Intel N200
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 64GB
Here's another fairly basic Chromebook, but this one comes with a welcome
bump up to 8GB of RAM to help boost performance. It's still best-suited to general use because of the entry-level processor and limited storage space, but it's up to the job of web browsing, light work, writing documents, and streaming media. Plus, you get the superior battery life of up to 11.5 hours with this HP Chromebook, which is much more compared to similarly priced Windows machines. View Deal
Processor: Intel Core i3
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 128GB
If you'd prefer a similar Windows machine for the same price as the
Chromebook above, then this HP Laptop 15 is also down to $239.99 at Best Buy. It also has a fairly low-end spec, but you still get 8GB of RAM and a much better Intel i3 processor, which can cover the basics without a dramatic performance dip. This is one to buy if you want a Windows laptop for general everyday use, word processing, streaming shows, web browsing, video calls, or answering emails. View Deal
Processor: MediaTek
RAM: 4G
B Storage: 128GB
We're big fans of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet at TechRadar, so I definitely want to share this price cut on the flexible 11-inch laptop. In our very positive Lenovo Chromebook Duet review , we thought the original version offered an excellent balance between tablet portability and Chromebook flexibility. This version has 4GB of RAM for acceptable performance with
light use and a healthy 128GB of storage. Plus, the day-long battery life is
a huge boost for those who are always on the go. View Deal
Processor: Ryzen 3
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 512GB
If you're looking for a cheap machine to handle the basics, then this Dell 15 laptop is almost unbelievably affordable thanks to Dell's discounts this
week. Although it's only got a combination of a Ryzen 3 chipset and 8GB of RAM, these should suffice if you're just looking to do simple tasks like browsing, answering emails, or streaming content. This one has been $30 cheaper before, but I'd still rate it as a great option today. View Deal
Processor: Ryzen 5
RAM: 8G
B Storage: 512GB
Ideal for streaming and working, this Asus laptop has a Ryzen 5 Processor and 8GB of RAM, which is decent for most basic needs, and an impressive 512GB of storage. It has a full numeric keypad and a webcam with a shutter. Windows 11 is in S mode, meaning this is a more simplified and secure option. View Deal
Processor: Intel Core i7
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB
Here's another great deal on a Dell 15 laptop courtesy of the Dell's current sale. This time, it's on a much higher-end configuration, with a decent Core i7 chipset and 16GB of RAM - meaning, you've got plenty of power under the hood right now. This is a very, very sensible all-rounder if you're looking for a machine that can handle relatively intensive tasks like big
spreadsheets or a large amount of browser tabs. View Deal
Processor: Intel Core i7
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB
It's been $30 cheaper before, but this is still one of the best mid-range laptop deals I've spotted right now at Best Buy. It's a slightly older machine, but it still packs in some powerful components for the price, including a souped-up Intel Core 7 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a reasonably large 512GB SSD. If you want a capable all-around
machine at a fantastic price, you can't really go wrong with this one. View Deal
Processor: Intel Ultra 7
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB
The Dell 14 Plus is one of our favorite mid-range Windows laptops thanks to its excellent design and competitive specs. This particular configuration is
a bit on the pricey end, but you do get an Ultra 7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and
a 2.5K display, meaning it's absolutely stacked with features. If I were looking for a decent everyday laptop for everything from work to demanding productivity applications, then I'd be very tempted by this deal. View Deal
Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 256GB
The MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) is the newest version of Apple's popular laptop and it's now back down to a record-low price at Amazon. You get a great-looking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, while the boost to 16GB of RAM keeps all your programs running smoothly. It's just a shame Apple still insists on only 256GB of storage as standard, which feels a little miserly in 2025. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best laptops you can buy if you need a performance powerhouse for productivity and creative tasks especially after this $200 discount. View Deal
Processor: Apple M4
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 256G
BBest Buy has Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air M4 on sale for $1,099, thanks to Best Buy's $100 discount. It's for the baseline configuration with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD, but higher-spec alternatives are also discounted if you feel the standard storage option isn't enough. View Deal
Display - 15 inches
Processor - Apple M3
RAM - 16G
B Storage - 512GB
Here's a $200 discount on Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air M3 with 512GB of storage. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design, and speaker array, although we thought the jump in size compromised one of the MacBook Air's key selling points its portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive laptop that was awarded a full five stars. View Deal Prime Day laptop deals in the UK
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 5
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB
I highly rate this Asus Vivobook S16 OLED when it comes to value for money
for a premium laptop. For 700, you get a powerful machine with a modern Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of RAM and a large 1TB SSD. Plus, there's also a crisp and bright OLED display something you usually only see on much higher-end machines. These specs are great for all-around use, multitasking and some more demanding work, as well as watching your favourite shows and movies at the end of the day. View Deal
Processor: Intel Core 5
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB
Even though it's a slightly older laptop, there's a terrific combination of specs for the price in this Asus Vivobook 14, including an Intel Core 5 processor, a performance-boosting 16GB of RAM and a decent-sized 512GB SSD. These can make work and everyday tasks a breeze. You also get the benefit of
a battery life of up to 12 hours, as well as a slim 14-inch display that
makes this ideal for portability. View Deal
Processor: Intel Ultra 5
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB
I'm a big fan of this Vivobook S16 at Currys. Not only does it have a superb 300 discount right now, but the machine itself features a large 1TB SSD, an up-to-date Ultra 5 chipset, and a stunning 16-inch OLED display. It's not the most powerful machine on the market, but this is a superb premium choice that doesn't completely break the bank. View Deal
Processor: Snapdragon X Plus
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 256GB
This is a good price for a powerful configuration of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge. It comes with a 15.6-inch HD display and one of the latest Snapdragon X Plus processors that boasts strong all-around performance and an excellent battery life of over 24 hours. We called these out as the main positives in our Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge review , along with the sleek and thin overall design. An AMOLED display and more storage would have been nice, but this is still a solid mid-range laptop if you need speed, performance, and responsiveness for coding, multitasking, and creative tasks. View Deal
Processor: Snapdragon X Plus
RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB
Microsoft makes some of the most nicely designed laptops on the market - laptops that are definitely not inspired by MacBooks (wink). Right now, one
of Amazon's best laptop deals is on this high-end Surface Laptop with a Snapdragon X Plus chipset. That means plenty of power under the hood and
heaps of battery life, but the real selling point here is the machine's
lovely stylish design, build quality, and display. View Deal
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 5060
Processor: Intel Core i7
RAM: 16GB
A superb deal from Laptops Direct this week, this Medion Erazer is one of the cheapest machines I've seen yet with an RTX 5060 graphics card. A 100 price cut at the retailer is a superb deal and well worth considering if you're looking to play games smoothly at 1080p resolution for a few years down the line.

Welcome folks. I'll be posting live updates throughout the day as I dig-up more laptop deals at the various retailers.
Right now, a lot of people are looking to upgrade because Microsoft has just announced that it will no longer be supporting Windows 10 with security updates soon . If you're in that boat, don't worry, you have some time - and plenty of excellent deals to consider this week. Added - a few more choices for the UK
Our UK section is a little sparse right now so I'm adding a few more choices
- specifically a few excellent higher-end choices at both Currys and Amazon!
