The best early Prime Day laptop deals at a glance:
On any given day, Amazon’s best laptop deals include some markdowns on Apple MacBooks… and not much else. The retail giant lists a lot of older and/or discontinued PCs that aren’t super worth it. Amazon also has a penchant for inflating sticker prices, making discounts look steeper than they really are.
Those factors, combined with the heavy presence of sketchy third-party sellers among Amazon’s laptop listings, make it one of the worst places to buy a laptop on the internet (again, unless you’re shopping for MacBooks). We usually recommend shopping at Best Buy or going directly to the manufacturer’s online store instead.
