Amazon isn’t known for offering the best deals for laptops, but its ongoing Prime Big Deal Days sales event has a few solid discounts — and there are a bunch more if you factor in Best Buy’s “48-hour Flash Sale” counter-programming. If you’re in the market for a new MacBook, Windows productivity machine (including new Copilot Plus PCs), or even a gaming laptop, we’ve got you covered with a handful of worthwhile options.
While a specialized electronics retailer like Best Buy may be better known for everyday laptop discounts, Amazon has its fair share. This is especially the case if you’re shopping for MacBooks, some of which Amazon currently has for their lowest prices to date. Granted, you’re not going to get the breadth of options for RAM and storage sizes like you do directly from Apple, but it’s not uncommon to get as much as $400 off some base- and mid-spec configurations (on the pricier MacBook Pros, at least).
Here are the best laptop deals we scrounged for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days and some neighboring sales.
The best Prime Day deals on Windows laptops

The 2024 Asus Zenbook Duo laptop is on sale for $1,201.74 (around $298 off) at Amazon. Spec-wise, it’s got an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. However, its most unique qualities are by far its dual 14-inch OLED touchscreens (with included stylus), one of which is revealed by removing its wireless keyboard deck to allow a multi-screen desktop-like setup you can bring anywhere.
It may look a bit bonkers, but the Zenbook Duo allows for 19.8 inches of screen real estate in a package you can throw in your everyday bag and bring with you to the coffee shop. Talk about a power move. Read our review.
Asus’ dual-screen laptop has a pair of 14-inch OLED touchscreens, each with 2880 x 1800 resolution. The removable keyboard can cover one of the screens for conventional single-monitor laptop use or be used wirelessly with the laptop propped up in dual-screen mode via its kickstand.
The Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge is on sale in both its 14-inch configuration for as low as $799.99 (a massive $550 off) at Best Buy and in its 16-inch configuration for $1,249.99 ($200 off) at Best Buy. Either model gets you an Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It doesn’t have the outright best performance of the recent crop of Windows Copilot Plus PCs running Arm chips, but it’s definitely one of the prettiest to look at with its thin-and-light frame and excellent OLED screen. Plus, its power-sipping processor helps it last all day like a modern MacBook. Read our review.

Samsung’s first entry in the Copilot Plus PC world, running Windows on Arm with a Snapdragon X Elite processor. The Galaxy Book4 Edge comes in two sizes, the 14-inch and 16-inch, both of which feature vivid OLED touchscreen displays with 120Hz refresh rate and all-day battery life. Read our review.
The latest Microsoft Surface Pro with a Snapdragon Elite X processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD in sapphire blue is $1,199.99 ($300 off) at Best Buy. The 2-in-1 offers great performance as long as you don’t need certain apps that are lacking full support for Windows on Arm. Its detachable keyboard now has Bluetooth so you can use it separately from the tablet, and the 13-inch, 2880 x 1920 OLED you get in this configuration looks great and sports a speedy 120Hz refresh. It’s a great all-around package if you’re seeking a 2-in-1 with great battery life. Read our review.
The new Surface Pro maintains its winning form factor, which sets it apart from traditional laptops. It now houses the AI-ready Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chipset, however, and the detachable keyboard has been improved with bolder, brighter keys and a Copilot button.
The 2024 Microsoft Surface Laptop is on sale for $1,399.99 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Much like the Surface Pro, Microsoft’s latest Surface Laptop is sporting a Snapdragon X Elite Arm processor that offers excellent battery life and standby time. It’s got a 13.8-inch touchscreen and comes with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD in this discounted configuration. It’s a great performer if you want a portable Windows laptop for everyday use that can last all day, though be sure to check if any creative apps you plan to use have Arm support or work fine in emulation. Read our review.

The 13.8-inch Surface Laptop is the most affordable of Microsoft’s 2024 Copilot Plus models. The MacBook rival uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X chipsets — which are said to offer substantial performance and battery life improvements — and its keyboard is the first with a dedicated Copilot key.
We haven’t tested the 2024 Asus TUF A16, but at $699.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy, it seems like a solid value for some midrange gaming needs. The TUF has a speedy 165Hz display with 1200p resolution that, while not the highest resolution for a 16-inch panel, shouldn’t be as demanding as running a QHD or 4K display. Those graphics are powered by an all-AMD setup with a Ryzen 7 chip and Radeon RX7700S GPU. It’s the same video card we tested in the Framework Laptop 16, which offered some fair benchmarking scores in various games. (That modular laptop’s issues were owed more to glitches and cooling issues than poor GPU performance.)
A 16-inch gaming laptop sporting a 1920 x 1200 display with 165Hz refresh, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor, Radeon RX7700S GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
The best Prime Day deals on Apple MacBooks

The 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD is on sale for $1,299 ($300 off) at both Best Buy and Amazon. Or, you can step up to more RAM and storage with 16GB / 1TB for $1,699 ($300 off) at Amazon. That may be a steeper cost, but the extra RAM is especially worth it in the long haul.
This model of MacBook may be a bit of an awkward middle child between the MacBook Air and the beefier 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with Pro / Max chips, but it’s still a nice laptop for light creative workflows and all-day battery life (and then some). Compared to a MacBook Air, it has more ports, including an HDMI-out and SD card slot, but it only has two USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 ports compared to the three on the more “pro” MacBook Pros.
Apple’s new entry-level model for the MacBook Pro line is now a 14-inch laptop powered by the new base M3 processor. It uses a similar design to the pricier 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s Pro- / Max-series chips but is offered at a lower price with the similar ports and less RAM.
Speaking of MacBook Airs, the 13- and 15-inch M3 models are currently available for their best prices to date. You can get the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air for $849 ($250 off) at Amazon or the larger 15-inch model for $1,044 ($255 off) at Amazon or Best Buy. Both of these cheap-as-can-be configurations come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The M3 generation of Airs are mostly spec-bumped models, though they do also have Wi-Fi 6E support and the ability to output video to two monitors when their lids are closed. Both are great for everyday work / home use and have great battery life that mostly ensures you don’t have to even worry about charging until the end of the day.
The choice of 13-inch vs. 15-inch really just comes down to personal preference if you want a larger screen (obviously). The 15-inch also has much better speakers, but if you’re the type to always wear headphones, it quickly becomes less of an advantage.
The MacBook Air M3 is a jack-of-all-trades, with a balanced combination of performance and power efficiency. It also now supports dual displays with the lid closed, and the storage speed is noticeably faster. You don’t need to think about if this laptop will meet your needs — it just will. Read our review.
The 15-inch MacBook Air is also equipped with Apple’s M3 chip. It features a larger display and better speaker array than the 13-inch MacBook Air M3. Read our review.
Despite how you may feel about the price of groceries, gas, and other essential goods right now, you can actually get quite a bit for under $25. That’s even truer during a major shopping event like Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, which only has a few hours remaining.
There are only a few hours left to shop, but we’re continuing to dig through the online bargain bin to find an assortment of inexpensive, Verge-approved tech that comes in under $25. Right now, for instance, you can get your smart home started with a fifth-gen Echo Dot or an Amazon Smart Plug. Need something to watch? The standard Fire TV Stick 4K is a great conduit for streaming endless entertainment. Or you can pick up Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for its lowest price to date. There’s even some unplugged fun to be had with tabletop party games like Love Letter. All of that and more can be found below.
Update, October 9th: Updated to reflect current availability and the fact Amazon’s fall Prime Day event is almost over.

Strands is a brand new daily puzzle from the New York Times. A trickier take on the classic word search, you’ll need a keen eye to solve this puzzle.
Like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can be a bit difficult to solve some days. There’s no shame in needing a little help from time to time. If you’re stuck and need to know the answers to today’s Strands puzzle, check out the solved puzzle below.
You start every Strands puzzle with the goal of finding the “theme words” hidden in the grid of letters. Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to craft words; double-tap the final letter to confirm. If you find the correct word, the letters will be highlighted blue and will no longer be selectable.
If you find a word that isn’t a theme word, it still helps! For every three non-theme words you find that are at least four letters long, you’ll get a hint — the letters of one of the theme words will be revealed and you’ll just have to unscramble it.
Advertisement
Every single letter on the grid is used to spell out the theme words and there is no overlap. Every letter will be used once, and only once.
Each puzzle contains one “spangram,” a special theme word (or words) that describe the puzzle’s theme and touches two opposite sides of the board. When you find the spangram, it will be highlighted yellow.
The goal should be to complete the puzzle quickly without using too many hints.

Rockstar Games has officially announced the release date for Red Dead Redemption on PC, and it’s arriving later this month for anyone who wants to play it in this revived form. Originally launching on consoles back in May of 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, the game was later ported to PS4 some years later. It also recently received a port for Nintendo Switch, coming alongside the PS4 port back in 2023. The game can also be played on PS5 at an updated 60 frames per second with a patch that was issued last October.
What many fans have been waiting on, however, was the ability to play the game on PC. Perhaps with updated graphics and additional features. After Red Dead Redemption 2 received rave reviews, fans of the original have been wanting to head back and play the first game. The PC port will also be an opportunity for newcomers who never got to experience the first game to see where it all started for the franchise. Rockstar has now confirmed the date and it’s quite close.
Red Dead Redemption arrives on PC on October 29
If you’re eager to play the first game on PC you won’t have to wait too long. It’ll arrive on PC on October 29, which means you only have a couple more weeks. To make things even sweeter the game comes with a bunch of PC enhancements to play the game in its best form. This includes but isn’t limited to support for new Ultrawide and Super Ultrawide aspect ratios. Specifically 21:9 and 32:9.
It’s also going to have support for HDR10 as well as full keyboard and mouse functionality. So you won’t be required to play with a controller if you prefer the KBM setup. Rockstar also confirms that the PC version of the game will support 144Hz monitors and with native 4K resolution, so long as you have the hardware to handle it.

If your PC is a little lacking, you can still boost things a bit if you have an NVIDIA RTX 40 series GPU. The PC port will also support NVIDIA DLSS 3.7 and NVIDIA Frame Generation, as well as AMD FSR3.0 to help upscale the game’s graphics and kick the frame rates up a bit if needed.
The PC version comes with the Undead Nightmare DLC
Rockstar hasn’t mentioned a cost for the game just yet, but it does mention that those who buy the game on PC will get the Undead Nightmare DLC along with the base game. If we had to guess, players are probably looking at somewhere around $50 – $60.
In addition to the game’s PC release date announcement, Rockstar has released a new trailer for the PC version that you can watch below.
