If your laptop simply isn\u2019t cutting it anymore, October Prime Day<\/a> might have arrived just in time. As has been the case for the past few years, laptop deals are abundant for Amazon’s Big Deal Days, bringing discounts to MacBooks, Windows laptops, Chromebooks and more. But we wouldn\u2019t blame you if you didn\u2019t know how to figure out if that laptop you\u2019re eyeing actually has a good discount for Prime Day, or if the deal is stale.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Engadget can help. We\u2019ve poured over the Prime Day laptop deals available this year to pick out the best ones you can get across all kinds of computers. If you\u2019re super picky about the specs you want in a new laptop, we always recommend going straight to the manufacturer so you can configure the machine exactly to your needs. But if you\u2019re willing to work with premade models, October Prime Day deals could help you save some cash on your next laptop.<\/p>\n

Best Prime Day laptop deals: MacBooks\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s latest laptops are the MacBook Air M4 and the MacBook Pro M4, and we recommend getting those if you want a device that\u2019s as future-proof as possible at the moment. You\u2019ll find decent MacBook deals on Amazon throughout the year, and most of them will be on the base configurations. In a welcomed update earlier this year, Apple recently made all base models of the MacBook Air M4 have 16GB of RAM by default (which is the same as you\u2019ll find on the base-level Pros).<\/p>\n

Best Prime day laptop deals: Windows laptops<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got a lot of variety to choose from when it comes to Windows laptops, and that can be a blessing or a curse. We recommend looking for a laptop from a reputable brand (i.e. Microsoft, Dell, Acer, Lenovo and others like them), and one that can handle daily work or play pressures. That means at least 16GB of RAM and 245GB of SSD storage, plus the latest Intel or AMD CPUs. If you\u2019re looking for a new gaming laptop, you\u2019ll need a bit more power and a dedicated graphics card to boot.<\/p>\n

Best Prime Day laptop deals: Chromebooks<\/p>\n

Most Chromebooks are already pretty cheap, but that just means you can get them for even less during an event like Prime Day. However, there are a ton of premium Chromebooks available today that didn\u2019t exist even three years ago, so now is a great time to look out for discounts on those models. In general, we recommend looking for at least 4 to 8GB of RAM and at least 128GB of SDD storage in a Chromebook that you plan on using as your daily driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If your laptop simply isn\u2019t cutting it anymore, October Prime Day might have arrived just in time.
