8 Prime Day laptop deals I'd actually buy

Amazon's Prime Day sale is moving earlier this year, running Tuesday, June 23 to Friday, June 26. Early laptop discounts cover Windows PCs and Macs from major brands such as HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, Dell, and Apple.

The roundup focuses on models the writer has personally tested and would buy or recommend. Most devices have hardware released within the last year, with the majority from earlier in 2026; older machines are called out when relevant.

Notable bargains include the third-generation ThinkPad E16 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU and 16GB of RAM at a $510 discount, the 15-inch MacBook Air M5 with the M5 chip, 16GB unified memory and 512GB storage, and a 16-inch gaming laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB storage and a GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

Apple options span the line: the 13-inch MacBook Air M5 is the thinnest, lightest Air with 16GB and 512GB for mobile users, while 24GB/1TB configurations for the 13- and 15-inch Air models are also available at reduced prices.
