If you’ve had your eye on a new laptop computer but haven’t added one to your cart just yet, the Amazon Prime Day sale that happens twice a year might be just the push you need. The sale is one of the best times to shop for all sorts of electronics. The most recent Prime Day laptop deals kicked off at 3 a.m. ET on Oct. 10 and wrapped up at 3 a.m. on Oct. 11, but I’ve recapped all the best deals right here so you know what to expect for the next sale in July 2024.

During the last sale, Prime Day shoppers saved up to 38% on laptops from brands like Lenovo, Apple, LG, and Asus. But my honest opinion? I think the Black Friday laptop deals will be stronger.

Even so, it wasn’t just Amazon who slashed prices on laptops during Prime Day. Competitors like Target and Walmart always get in on the action with laptop deals of their own. Especially since the Walmart Deals — Holiday Kickoff sale overlapped with the October Prime Day sale this fall.

Here’s a full recap of all the Prime Day laptop deals from the recent sale, and what you can expect for July 2024. For all the deals sent straight to you, text AMAZON to 57299 or download The Krazy Coupon Lady app.

 

Aim for savings of 33% – 38% with Prime Day laptop deals.

Based on what I’ve seen with past Prime Day sales, you should aim to save at least 33% with Prime Day laptop deals.

 

Best Prime Day laptop deals we saw in October:

 

The last Prime Day sale included rare Apple laptop deals — up to 25% off.

During the last two Prime Day sales (in July and October 2023), I saw rare savings on Apple laptops for up to 25% off. Of course, the older models (2020) usually get discounted the most, but still — an Apple deal is an Apple deal.

To give you an idea, here are some average savings I’ve seen for Mac laptops during Prime Day:

TIP: If you prefer to buy directly from Apple, expect to see some Black Friday laptop deals like a free $50 or $100 Apple gift card with qualifying purchases.

 

 

Stick to brand-name laptops if you can — and watch out for third-party sellers on Amazon.

I’ve heard some horror stories from family members who bought cheap laptops they found on Amazon. Sure, the prices were rock-bottom, but they ended up having to return their laptop purchases over and over again due to mislabeled items or receiving defective products. Crumbs in the keyboard on a “new” laptop? No, thank you.

My advice? Stick to the Amazon laptop deals from recognizable brands like HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Apple (just to name a few). To make sure it’s not from a third-party seller who might be trying to scam you, look for this information listed under the yellow Add to Cart button:

  • “Shipped from: Amazon.com”
  • “Sold by: Amazon.com”

Unfortunately, there’s not a super easy way to filter your search results by these options, so you’ll have to look for the details on each product page.

 

It’s not just Amazon with Prime Day laptop deals — look for competing offers at Walmart to save up to 62%.

A bunch of other retailers get in on the Prime Day competition with deals of their own, so don’t forget to price compare before you hit the checkout button. Walmart’s big Prime Day sale (called “Walmart Deals — Holiday Kickoff“) overlapped with the October Prime Day sale, and the deals included some laptops:

 

Remember that you can ask for a price match at Target, Walmart, or Best Buy.

If you see a good Amazon Prime Day laptop deal, don’t forget that you may be able to claim the Amazon price at another retailer by asking for a price match. This could pay off if you’re a loyalty member or credit card holder at somewhere like Target or Best Buy.

  1. Target offers 10% off any electronics purchase (including laptops) on and around Prime Day via the Target Circle app. And Target RedCard members get an additional 5% off all purchases. They also price match Walmart and Best Buy.
  2. Best Buy price matches Amazon, but you’ll have to submit your requests online or by calling (888) 237-8289.
  3. Walmart no longer price matches other retailers, but Walmart stores will match Walmart.com prices.
  4. Amazon doesn’t price match at all. See all stores with an Amazon price match.
