Prime Day laptop deals LIVE — MacBooks, gaming laptops and Chromebooks worth grabbing before midnight
Welcome to the final day of Prime Day 2025, where the laptop deals are still coming in hot — and yes, I'm just as surprised as you are. I've been reviewing laptops for over a decade and covering Prime Day for nearly as long, so I've seen every kind of 'deal' under the sun. The good news? Some of today's discounts are actually worth your time — and your money.
Right now, it's a full-blown laptop clearance party. We're seeing $150 off the M4 MacBook Air, a beast of a machine. The Asus TUF F16 with RTX 5060 is down $310, which is kind of wild considering how fresh this hardware is. And even the new Copilot+ PCs are finally getting in on the action — like $130 off the Snapdragon X Plus Surface Laptop.
Even Chromebooks are getting love, with prices dropping so low it feels like a pricing error. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook is just $182 — that's cheaper than a night out. Meanwhile, if you're in the U.K., don't worry — you're not missing out. The ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 5070 is down £300, and the M4 MacBook Air is £150 off there too.
This is the longest Prime Day we've ever had — four full days of deals — and now we're in the final stretch. I'm tracking all the best Prime Day laptop deals live as they drop, so check back throughout the day. Whether you're after a MacBook, gaming laptop, or something budget-friendly for school or work, now's the time to grab it before the prices go back up.
Over $1,500 off this HP Laptop 15? It may have been $2,000 when it launched, but it's unlikely to be this much now. Regardless, with its Intel N100 CPU, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, 1tB SSD and even Windows 11 Pro onboard, this makes for a great, affordable laptop choice for college students. Plus, its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display is a great size for productivity.
Now $180 off, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X makes for a fantastic personal laptop, especially at this price. It's Snapdragon X processor ensures, well, snappy performance and long battery life, and its 16GB of RAM and 512GB is enough everyday tasks. Throw in its 14-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display with a 60Hz refresh rate, and it also makes for decent binge-watching.
Get onboard with AI for less thanks to this HP Omnibook 5 deal, which brings the perks of Copilot+ with it. It sports a 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) touchscreen, along with an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Not bad for a laptop that can more than handle it's share of multitasking.
This 13.8-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop packs a Snapdragon X Plus CPU, which is ideal for school, work and everything in between. Along with its drastic performance boost and longer battery life thanks to the chip, it comes with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD — all to power its Copilot+ features. The $120 discount makes it all the sweeter.
Wait, over $2,000 off this business-focused Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 2? Now that's a crazy offer, but Lenovo is known to exaggerate these price cuts, so take this with a pinch of salt. Either way, it's still a low price for this laptop, and we noted in out Lenovo ThinkPad E16 hands-on that it has a lot of strengths. Expect an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, 32GB of RAM, 1TB for storage and a sizeable 16-inch WUXGA (1920x1200) display.
If you're after swift performance in a sleek, lightweight laptop boasting a gorgeous display, then it's hard to go wrong here. Our Acer Swift 14 AI review says it all, with its 14.5 2.5K (2560 x 1600) 120Hz touchscreen, Snapdragon X Plus processor, 17-hour battery life, 16GB of DDR5X RAM and 1TB for storage. Not a big discount, but one still worth checking out.
The latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra $100 off, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. Expect 16GB of unified memory and a 256 SSD in the model, but for more speed and storage, you can get the same discount. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $1,049MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249
One of the best laptops with an even bigger screen? You got it. The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air boasts a 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display, and that's more screen real estate for work, watching shows and even some gaming. Better yet, its more powerful configurations are also discounted, and even $163 off for top-tier performance. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,436
If you're a power user, you'll want the might of the MacBook Pro M4 on your side. You get fantastic performance from the M4 chip, useful Apple Intelligence features, a better webcam and very impressive battery life at over 18 hours. As we noted in our MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 review, it's the best laptop for photo and video editing, and much more. This model features a 14.2-inch (3024 x 1964) Retina display, Apple M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
Not enough power? No problem, as the M4 Pro MacBook Pro also has a steep price cut, and you can save $200! If the base MacBook Pro M4 doesn't have enough power for you, upgrade to the MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. As well as faster performance thanks to its 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, you'll also get Thunderbolt 5 ports for even faster data transfer.
This Alienware 16 Aurora is now down by a whopping $400, and it's now the cheapest RTX 5060 gaming laptop I've seen. That all means you can save big on Nvidia's latest offering of gaming performance. Along with its RTX 5060 GPU, expect an Intel Core 7 240H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB for storage and a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
With well over $200 off, this is offering seriously good price to performance here with its Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. Pair that with that 15.6-inch QHD+ display with 165Hz refresh rate and you've got a proper beast.

Despite its more budget appeal, I was impressed by what the Acer Nitro V 15 could manage when I tested it out, especially for entry-level gaming. This model comes with an RTX 4050 and an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS CPU, along with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. For entry-level PC titles and competitive multiplayer games, this is a great shout for under $700. And its 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz display makes games look smooth.
For a great entry-level gaming laptop that's less than $1,000, you can grab this Gigabyte G6 with an RTX 4050 now for a discounted $849.

I'm a huge fan of Asus' ROG Strix series, and you'll be doubly impressed with the 18-inch size of this monster, especially if you're looking for a laptop that lives on your desk. It boasts an Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, an RTX 4070, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. It may not boasts the latest specs, but it can still hold its own with plenty of AAA games.

This Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is a cheap, durable Chromebook that's good enough for browsing the web or doing light schoolwork. The 15.6-inch 1080p screen gives you plenty of room to stream videos, and the 8GB of RAM and Intel Celeron CPU are good enough for basic work. The only big limitation is the 64GB of storage space, but Chromebooks rely on Internet access and cloud apps for most things anyway.

Microsoft CEO makes bold statement on company's future
In a candid memo released July 24, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella addressed what he called the issue "weighing heavily" on him: the company's ongoing layoffs. More than 15,000 Microsoft employees have been let go in 2025 alone, as part of what Nadella described as a necessary but painful restructuring in the age of AI. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The company also cut nearly 2,000 additional staff deemed "low performers" earlier this year. "I want to speak to what's been weighing heavily on me, and what I know many of you are thinking about: the recent job eliminations," he wrote. Related: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that ChatGPT is not the way to superintelligence Recall Nadella wrote a similar note in 2023 - shortly after the company paused raises and announced its first significant layoffs of the post-pandemic era. He faced criticism at the time for placing too much focus on the company's outperformance without acknowledging those difficult moves. Despite the cuts, investors have rewarded Microsoft's leaner operating model. The company's stock closed above $500 for the first time on July 9, a symbolic milestone that arguably underscores Wall Street's growing faith in Microsoft's AI strategy. In his July memo, Nadella used stark language to describe the current environment, stating: "This is the enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value." "Progress isn't linear," he added. "It's dynamic, sometimes dissonant, and always demanding. But it's also a new opportunity for us to shape, lead through, and have greater impact than ever before." For the past decade, Microsoft (MSFT) has operated under a unifying purpose: to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. But Nadella says that vision now needs to evolve. Related: Analysts unveil bold Amazon stock price target before earnings "We must reimagine our mission for a new era," he wrote. "What does empowerment look like in the era of AI? It's not just about building tools for specific roles or tasks. It's about building tools that empower everyone to create their own tools." This shift reflects the company's broader transformation from a software-centric business to what Nadella calls an "intelligence engine empowering every person and organization to build whatever they need to achieve." Microsoft's strategy hinges on positioning itself at the center of the AI value chain. Its Azure cloud platform is rapidly becoming the infrastructure of choice for AI workloads. OpenAI, as well as other major AI labs and enterprises, use Microsoft's GPU-centric cloud services to train and deploy large models. Copilot, Microsoft's generative AI assistant, has also been integrated into Office, GitHub, and enterprise software suites.

Nadella's statement marks a strategic realignment that mirrors an entire industry in transition. As Microsoft retools its mission, the world is watching to see if it can balance innovation, values, and leadership in one of the most disruptive technological shifts in history.

New FBI Warning — Windows And Linux Users Must Apply 2FA Now
FBI warns of Interlock threat - enable 2FA now. There are some weeks that I almost feel like I have joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation, given the number of alerts that I am exposed to. Within just the last few days, I have shared a warning to 10 million Android users to disconnect their devices, another for all smartphone users as phantom hacker attacks continue, and now comes the FBI recommendation for Windows and Linux users to urgently enable two-factor authentication to complete the cyber-trilogy. Here's everything you need to know when it comes to mitigating the Interlock ransomware threat. FBI And CISA Issue Joint Interlock Ransomware Warning A relatively new ransomware threat is, according to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, on the rise and targeting both businesses and critical infrastructure providers with double-extortion attacks. A July 22 joint cybersecurity advisory, issued alongside the FBI under alert code aa25-203a, was prompted by ongoing FBI investigations that have identified both indicators of compromise and the tactics, techniques and procedures used by the attackers. 'The FBI is aware of Interlock ransomware encryptors designed for both Windows and Linux operating systems,' the alert confirmed. Although I would heartily recommend reading the full alert for all the technical details, the attacks can be summed up as employing drive-by-downloads and ClickFix social engineering to gain initial access. Once the system has been breached, the attackers then deployed credential stealers and keyloggers to obtain account credentials and execute the necessary lateral movement and privilege escalation required to deploy the ransomware and exfiltrate data. This article, however, is less about the how or why (they are after money, duh!) and more concerned with mitigation. Luckily, the FBI has some excellent and detailed advice about how to prevent such attacks, so let's take a look at what you need to do. Mitigating The Interlock Ransomware Threat — The FBI Recommendations Mitigating the Interlock threat Prevention is always better than cure, and that is no truer than when applied to the world of cybersecurity. Mitigating a threat is the priority for every security team, nobody wants to be dealing with the fallout of failings to do. The FBI is aware of this, which is why the cybersecurity alert features a large, red bullet point mitigation table at the top of the advisory. It's also why it's the focus of this article. While the 'actions for organizations to take today' list is, of course, extremely valuable, it is not the complete litigation picture. For that you need to dig deeper into the alert itself. Personally, I would move number four up to number one as well - especially the employing 2FA across accounts advice, as this is crucial in preventing the lateral movement and privilege escalation that enables a successful ransomware attack. But anyhoo, let's explore the full FBI mitigation advice in our own bullet point list, shall we? And, as the FBI notes, implement a recovery plan!
