Laptop prices suck these days, so here are some Prime Day deals that help a little

<p>As usual, we’re doing our best to surface the best Prime Day tech deals. And here, we’ve pulled together the biggest discounts happening not just on laptops, but also on keyboards, mice, webcams, or other worthwhile PC accessories. And since Prime Day has counter-deals running at other retailers like Best Buy (and its Tech Fest Sale), there are also laptop deals for non-Amazon shoppers alike.</p>

<h2>The best deals on MacBooks</h2>

<ul>

<li>The days of multi-hundred-dollar discounts on MacBooks are behind us for now, but the base <strong>14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip</strong> for $1,549 ($150 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-2025-MacBook-Laptop-10%E2%80%91core/dp/B0FWD623D1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch-laptop-m5-chip-with-10-core-cpu-and-10-core-gpu-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-space-black/JJGCQL8L2P" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Best Buy</a> is still a solid deal. It’s powerful enough for the average content creator, comes with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and has lots of ports. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/803349/apple-macbook-pro-14-m5-2025-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read our review</a>.</li>

<h3>Apple MacBook Air (M5)</h3>

Apple’s 2026 MacBook Air has an M5 chip and starts with 512GB of storage that’s significantly faster than previous generations. It’s still as excellent as ever despite a higher base price. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/894866/apple-macbook-air-m5-15-2026-laptop-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read our review</a>.

<ul>

<li>The <strong>14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro</strong> chip (15-core CPU / 16-core GPU), 24GB of memory, and 1TB of storage is $2,034 (around $165 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-Laptop-15-core-16-core/dp/B0GR1JK9W3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a> and $2,049 at <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/apple-macbook-pro-14-inch-laptop-m5-pro-chip-with-15-core-cpu-and-16-core-gpu-24gb-memory-1tb-ssd-silver/JJGCQLZ5QH" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Best Buy</a>. It’s a pretty nice step-up model from the standard M5 MacBook Pro, with a bit more RAM, a more powerful chip, and faster Thunderbolt 5 ports.</li>

<h3>Microsoft Surface Laptop, 13-inch</h3>

Microsoft’s slightly smaller, entry-level Surface Laptop trims some of the size and a few features from its bigger 13.8-inch counterpart, but it maintains excellent battery life and solid performance. It’s just a shame <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/911322/microsoft-surface-price-increase-ram" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">it’s price went up</a>. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/reviews/671554/microsoft-surface-laptop-13-inch-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read our review</a>.

<ul>

<li>The <strong>Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x</strong> was <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/908328/macbook-neo-windows-laptop-competitors-asus-lenovo-acer-review-comparison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one of the laptops I tested against the MacBook Neo</a> and… it got smoked. But a 512GB config for $449 ($251 off) at <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/IdeaPad-Slim-3x-15-Laptop-Snapdragon-X-X1-26-100-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Luna-Grey/19075520026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Walmart</a>? Not bad. The speakers are an assault on your ears and the trackpad ain’t great, but if you can live with those shortcomings, you get a decent laptop with a competent Snapdragon X processor and marathon battery life. Just <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/908328/macbook-neo-windows-laptop-competitors-asus-lenovo-acer-review-comparison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">read our review</a> and be aware of its shortcomings.</li>

<li>Like the Lenovo above, the <strong>Acer Aspire 14 AI</strong> is another <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/908328/macbook-neo-windows-laptop-competitors-asus-lenovo-acer-review-comparison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MacBook Neo contender I tested</a> that’s on sale. It’s $589.99 (about $288 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aspire-Copilot-WUXGA-Display-Processor/dp/B0DWNLQLL6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a>, exclusively for Prime members. <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/acer-aspire-14-ai-14-laptop-intel-core-ultra-7-256v-8-core-arc-140v-gpu-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-windows-11-a14-52m-72fh-gray/JJ8V8HX55G" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Best Buy</a> has it for anyone, sold via Acer, for $599.99. Let me set your expectations: The screen on this laptop is pretty washed out, the speakers are tinny, and the build quality feels cheap. But what you’re getting a deal on is a great Intel Core Ultra 7 256V “Lunar Lake” processor that’s a solid performer while also being quite power efficient. It also has plenty of ports (including Thunderbolt 4) and can even do some light gaming.</li>

<li>For a higher-end Acer offering, the <strong>Swift X 14 AI</strong> is selling for a new low of $1,559.99 ($140 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/acer-Copilot-Processor-Touchpad-SFX14-61G-R1HV/dp/B0FNXXC728" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a> for Prime members. The 14-inch laptop has a 2880 x 1800 / 120Hz OLED, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, RTX 5060 discreet graphics, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. It even has a haptic trackpad that should be a nice upgrade over Acer’s mechanical ones that can be a bit basic.</li>

</ul>

<h3>Asus Zenbook A14</h3>

Asus’s Zenbook A14 is a bit of a MacBook Air wannabe, but it’s a compelling alternative if you value a superlight Windows laptop with long battery life. The last-gen 2025 model sports an Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip, a nice 14-inch OLED display, and a sleek textured beige finish.

<h3>2025 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14</h3>

Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. There’s <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/935898/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-2026-intel-nvidia-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a new Intel model that’s much pricier</a>, but the 2025 version with AMD chips is still a great choice.

<figure><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="200" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/rogzeyphg14_solo.webp?w=300" alt="" /></figure>

The larger version of the Zephyrus twins sports a 240Hz OLED display and a thin profile to make it travel friendly. This configuration includes an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD.</li>

<li><strong>HP’s Omen 16</strong> gaming laptop from last year is $1,619.99 ($600 off) at <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/hp-omen-16-2k-144hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-8940hx-2025-32gb-ddr5-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-1tb-ssd-shadow-black/JJGH2L954G" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Best Buy</a> through a third-party seller. The 16-inch laptop is configured with an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, RTX 5060 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. Not bad for around $1,500, but while its screen’s 144Hz refresh is nice, the resolution is only 1920 x 1200.</li>

<li>For a little more money, you can get a <strong>Lenovo Legion 5i</strong> at <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo-Legion-5i-15-1-WQXGA-Laptop-Core-i9-14900HX-16GB-1TB-NVIDIA-GN22-X6-83LY0007US/14451162676" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Walmart</a> for $1,589 ($261 off). This 15-inch Legion has an Intel Core i9 14900HX CPU, RTX 5070 GPU (the 8GB VRAM version), 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. You’re getting less RAM than the HP Omen deal, but in exchange it’s got a better GPU and 2560 x 1600 OLED display with 165Hz refresh rate.</li>

The near-full-size 96-percent layout board has an incredibly long battery life thanks to its ZMK-based firmware, and it supports a fast 8,000Hz polling rate via its 2.4GHz wireless connection.
