Amazon’s July Prime Day event is July 11-12 and, in case you were curious, it is a good time to buy a laptop. You’ll be able to find deals on some of the best laptops available — from lightweight ultraportables to powerful gaming laptops. The discounts can potentially save you hundreds of dollars, making it possible to grab a better laptop at a lower price.
However, to get the Prime-exclusive deals on Prime Day, you do need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber ($139 a year). (There is a way around it, though.) The good news is Amazon isn’t the only retailer dropping prices on laptops right now. PC makers like Dell, Acer and HP are offering discounts when buying directly from their sites, too. And you don’t even need to wait until next week.
As one of CNET’s PC experts, I’ve scanned the current sales and dropped some of the best deals I’ve found so far. We’ll keep updating this list as older deals expire and new ones drop, so check back for the latest offers.
