Psssttt there are some great Amazon Prime Day laptop deals on offer
There are a few genuinely tempting Prime Day laptop deals - we sift through the good and the great.
Amazon Prime Day 2024 might be the ideal opportunity to bag that laptop upgrade you've been patiently waiting for. We've been covering Prime Day laptop deals for years now, and since we review the latest laptops all year round, we're well-positioned to pick out the very best models, at the very best prices.
In the past, we've seen some very tempting Prime Day offers come in on trustworthy brands like ASUS, HP, Acer, Lenovo, and Microsoft – plus there are even several MacBook offers if you know where to look (Hint: see our Prime Day Apple deals and MacBook Prime Day deals hubs if you're into Apple tech and all that).
We'll be updating this hub regularly from now until Prime Day, which is July 16-17 if you didn't already know, keeping tabs on the most worthwhile laptop deals and hefty price cuts as we see them. Make sure you're signed up to Amazon Prime if you hope to take advantage of any big discounts, although some deals won't require a Prime membership, and we've found that other retailers such as Best Buy tend to price match. Still, it's worth at least signing up for the 30-day free trial so you don't get any Prime Day FOMO.

FAQs
How we select our Prime Day laptop deals
We've been reviewing laptops for many years at Creative Bloq, and we've been searching for the best deals on those same laptops, whether for Prime Day or not, for just as long. So we know a good laptop deal when we see one. But we don't just copy and paste the details of a deal from Amazon.
First off, we use our expertise and knowledge of our creative audience to search for the most relevant and popular Apple products on sale. When we see a discount on those products, we consider how that discount actually stacks up. We do this by comparing the new price to other retailers, by looking at the price history (whether it's been on sale at a lower price before, or if this is a new record low), and then getting the info across in plain English. We know there's such a thing as buyer's remorse (trust me, I know), and we don't want you to feel it any time soon!
We also need to talk about retail prices here. Amazon is often guilty of stating a product's pre-sale price as its original retail price – even if the product went on sale a couple of years ago and hasn't been sold for that original retail price for some time. What we also see some sellers on Amazon do is bump up the RRP and then advertise a false 'discount', which is even more insidious. So we will look out for that and explicitly note these details whenever necessary. Our mission for Prime Day is to provide only the best, most valuable, real deals to our readers. We know you are smart and we want you to trust us.
What can we expect in terms of Prime Day laptop deals?
Prime Day has become one of the biggest retail events of the year, and during it, Amazon offers discounts, sometimes quite big, on laptops of all shapes (usually rectangular, to be fair) and sizes.
You can find flagship gaming laptops with a full four-figure discount, and MacBooks at near-to-lowest prices yet, and in fact it's become such a big event that rivals have now joined in to keep up, so we'll also be keeping an eye on laptop deals across Walmart, Best Buy and others to make sure we're sending you to the best deals on the best laptops we can find, and of course you can keep an eye on our Prime Day hub for deals on all types of creative tech.
You need to be a Prime member to take advantage of Amazon's official Prime Day offers. You can sign up to Amazon Prime here on a 30-day trial to do that.
Are Prime Day laptop deals worth it?
In years past, we have seen some lowest-ever prices for laptops on Prime Day, but of course, some retailers will try and take the mickey by tricks like artificially raising the price just ahead of Prime Day and then advertising a 'huge discount' that's really little more than a mirage.
We will keep a keen eye on any cowboys who try to pull the wool over your eyes, because it's just as important to know which deals are too good to be true as it is to grab a bargain. We will also try our best to only lead you to laptops we know for certain are worth your time and hard-earned money, which includes focusing on laptops we have already reviewed or have had expert recommendations from our lineup of contributors.
