Prime Day laptop deals I'd actually buy — last-minute picks for MacBooks, gaming laptops, Chromebooks and more
The last day of Prime Day is here, meaning it's your final chance to grab massive savings on a wide selection of laptop deals. After covering Amazon's biggest sales event for over six years, I'm still shocked by many of the major price cuts on MacBooks, Windows laptops and even gaming laptops equipped with the latest RTX 50-series power.
I've reviewed my fair share of the best laptops out there, and scoring a discount on these machines is well worth the savings. That includes getting £150 off the MacBook Air M4, and another favorite of mine is this Asus Gaming V16 with an RTX 5060 that's below £1,000. Now that's a deal gamers should jump on.
But that's not all. For a dirt-cheap laptop that students and families can take full advantage of, this Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook for just £159 will do the trick, and if you're after top-tier performance without making a massive dent in your wallet, check out this RTX 5070-equipped Alienware 16X Aurora that's £300 off.
You won't find deals like this anytime soon, so if you're planning on an all-new laptop or PC upgrade, there's no better time than the final day of Prime Day. I've been hunting down the best laptop deals so far, and will continue live-tracking any must-see discounts right here. Keep this page bookmarked, find yourself a deal and get saving!
If you just need something dirt cheap for basic productivity by day and doomscrolling YouTube by night, the IdeaPad 1 will do the job at a super low price. The Intel Celeron processor is more than enough for your basic typing and spreadsheet work, and multitasking is handled by 4GB of RAM. Plus, for binge watching, the 15-inch FHD display is pretty decent.
The HP Laptop 15 is a simple, effective 15-inch laptop with enough power to breeze through everyday tasks, and it's now down to just £269. Expect a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display with an AMD Ryzen 3 7320U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. As a family laptop or for sutdents, this wil do the job.
A glorious OLED display now just under £650? Now that's a laptop any photo or video editor would want, along with those who adore watching shows on a beautiful screen.

For the specs it packs, and it's wonderful battery life and design (beware, it's a haptic touchpad), you can't go wrong with a price on this stellar laptop.

A gaming laptop for just £649? The Acer Nitro V 16 provides! I've gamed on an Acer Nitro V with an RTX 4050, and it manages to pull off some surprising gaming power.

Looks Like Amazon Is Offloading Apple Watch Ultra 2, Now at a New Record Low Price
Amazon is (aggressively) clearing out its Apple inventory during the final week of July, and it offers the best deals we've ever seen on Apple products. These aren't just typical discounts: these are new, unprecedented low prices that have never been reached before. MacBook Air 2025 models have dropped to all-time record lows that set a new value standard, and the latest Apple Watch Ultra 2 (with GPS + Cellular) now begins at an all-time record price of $649, from $799. With Apple's flagship store itself now having no discounts for these devices, Amazon is the only option if you want to get your Apple gear at prices that are totally unbeatable. See at Amazon The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is meant for athletes who demand reliable performance on the wrist: Its 49mm titanium case offers lightweight yet rugged construction that can take heavy use and harsh conditions without adding bulk. The watch features precise GPS with multiple satellite systems support, and it offers great location tracking in demanding conditions. With cellular connectivity, you stay connected without needing to carry your phone, ideal for extended runs. It includes a variety of sensors that monitor various activities closely: You can track your swim workout because it is waterproof, and running, cycling, hiking, and even more labor-intensive sports like triathlons. It provides accurate fitness information like heart rate, blood oxygen level, and change in elevation. The Action Button offers customizable controls so you can quickly tap into your favorite features in the middle of a workout without interruption. Battery life has likewise been significantly enhanced with the Ultra 2 designed to last longer even under heavy usage. Whether you're away on a multi-day adventure or you simply want a watch that you can rely on to see you through the day, its extended battery life ensures that you won't be desperately searching for the charger. The Blue Ocean strap (see picture above) that is included with this watch is rugged and soft which is perfect for hard wear but adding a flash of color to the watch that sets it apart visually. Since prices in the Apple store do not offer any discount, making the most of this offer on Amazon saves you the pleasure of world-class tech at a lower cost. See at Amazon
