We're just a day away from Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's annual fall sale, and we're already starting to see price drops on tech. If you're in the market for a new laptop, we've found seven fantastic offers for as much as 23% off top-tier portables. Savvy shoppers know presale bargains are the way to go, so grab one of these PCs before they disappear.
Apple MacBook Deal
Apple makes some of the best ultra-premium laptops on the market, and an early $200 price cut on the exceptional MacBook Pro's latest release is worth celebrating. Our review gave this luxurious laptop an "Excellent" rating, raving over the Retina XDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate and dominant color coverage. The M4 processor is one of the best chips Apple has made to date, enabling seamless performance on even the most demanding apps and games. It looks great, feels great, and has surprisingly extensive battery life to boot.
Budget Laptop Deals
If you're into Lenovo machines but balk at their often high prices, here's a budget contender that won't set any land speed records but capably handles productivity tasks, especially with a free one-year Microsoft 365 subscription. We reviewed the baseline IdeaPad 1, which has an AMD Athlon processor instead of this model's Celeron. We praised its comfortable keyboard and touchpad alongside its extended battery life. While this is an all-plastic chassis, it feels sturdy and durable, and port selection is decent.
Here's a welcome $100 price drop on a capable budget portable with some helpful features. Dell has a well-earned reputation for no-frills business PCs that handle the basics with ease, and the Inspiron 3530 is no exception. It has a 13th-generation Intel Core i3 processor, Intel UHD graphics, decent storage, and enough memory to keep a couple of browser tabs open. The TUV Rheinland-certified display helps protect your eyes from excessive blue light over time. You can go into deeper detail with our rundown of the best budget laptops.
Convertible Laptop Deal
For something a little more flexible, we're pretty fond of Microsoft's convertible Surface laptop, which comes with a detachable keyboard and stand so you can use it as a tablet, a free-standing display or a traditional laptop. In our review, we praised its gorgeous OLED display, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and diverse Copilot Plus AI tools that improve daily. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor includes a dedicated NPU for transformer-based calculations, putting real-time translation, AI-powered photo editing, and more at your fingertips. A 23% price cut is a sweet treat.
Chromebook Deal
Chromebooks are becoming very close competitors to budget-priced PC portables, and this Acer is one of the best at a low price. Our review gave it an "Excellent" rating, praising the Vero 514's competent component loadout, including an eight-core Intel processor and a decent amount of RAM. The plastic and metal chassis meets MIL-STD 810H durability standards, and plenty of ports on both sides gives you room to expand. Amazon has a pre-Big Deal Days discount of 23% on this already affordable machine.

Gaming Laptop Deals
We're always bullish on Lenovo laptops, but can't help noticing that they're steeply priced. That's certainly the case with this ultra-powerful gaming portable, but the cost matches its capabilities. A sizzling, new RTX 5080, our top pick for current-generation cards, sits inside beside a zippy Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, a whopping 64GB of RAM, and more. In our review of the 2024 Legion Pro 7i, we raved about its refreshed design, attractive chassis lighting, and comfy keyboard. A 20% discount makes it a lot easier to swallow.
Here's a big and beautiful gaming laptop that delivers desktop-level performance on all of today's top titles. Thanks to a robust loadout of cutting-edge silicon, including an Nvidia 50-series graphics card and speedy 24-core Intel processor, the laptop delivers desktop-grade performance on all of today's top titles. The display is one of the big selling points: a massive 18-inch screen with a 240Hz refresh rate for esports-ready performance. In our detailed review of last year's model, we praised its dedication to all-out power and broad selection of ports. Amazon has a 10% discount on this configuration right now.
