When will Prime Day laptop deals begin?
Prime Big Deal Days will kick off on 10 October and finish at midnight on 11 October.
This is only the second time Amazon has hosted an October sale event for Prime members. Last autumn, it hosted the Prime Early Access Sale for the first time.
Do you need Amazon Prime to buy Prime Day laptop deals?
Only Amazon Prime members will be able to access the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days discounts, so, it’s worth signing up in advance of the sale, to take advantage of any early deals and offers during the event itself.
An Amazon Prime membership costs £8.99 a month and unlocks free deliveries, access to Prime Video and other bonuses not available to regular shoppers. Signing up is easy, just pop over to the Amazon Prime sign-up page and enter your details.
If you haven’t already used one, you can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime ahead of the sale kicking off.
What to expect from Prime Day laptop deals in 2023
Laptops are always a popular purchase during Prime Day sales. We’re expecting to see savings on laptops from Dell, Huawei, Lenovo, Asus and Acer, as well as discounts on MacBooks, Chromebooks, and two-in-one tablets.
Best early Amazon Prime Day laptop deals
If you can’t wait until Big Deal Days to get yourself a new laptop, here are the offers currently available on Amazon.
Apple MacBook Air laptop (2020), M1 chip: Was £999, now £849, Amazon.co.uk
(Amazon)
With a 15 per cent discount, this saving is sure to turn the heads of any tech fans. Although it may not be the latest model, it’s still sure to seriously impress. Our laptop critic praised the “combination of brains and beauty” featured in the MacBook Air, when it took the top spot in one of our previous guides to the best laptops.
It’s the first to use “Apple’s own silicon instead of an Intel processor”, and the chip, the M1, “is breathtakingly fast”, so much so, everything, “from the instant-on display to when you open the laptop’s lid, is amazingly speedy”. As for the keyboard, it’s “dreamy to use” and “responsive and comfortable with plenty of travel to make it feel good”, our expert said.
Lenovo ideapad duet 3: Was £329.99, now £249.95, Amazon.co.uk
(Lenovo)
A stylish little two-in-one Chromebook, the Lenovo ideapad duet 3 can be detached from its keyboard cover to be used as an 11in tablet. It runs on the Chrome operating system, so you can’t use regular Windows apps here, but that means it boots up almost instantly and is as straightforward and easy to use as your smartphone.
(Asus)
This is a great deal on a mid-range Asus vivobook 15, which is powered by the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and supported by 16GB of RAM. That’s enough performance to handle demanding tasks such as photo editing. The lay-flat hinge opens a full 180 degrees, too, making it easy to quickly share your screen and collaborate with teams.
