Amazon Prime Day laptop deals what to expect
Back in August, laptops from brands like Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo were on sale during Prime Day India. It’s likely that we’ll see similar Prime Day laptop deals in the U.S. We expect to see massive discounts on our favorite notebook PCs including the Dell XPS 13 and the MacBook Pro.
So far this year, Amazon has led the charge in terms of Apple deals. We’ve seen markdowns ranging from $100 to $400 off the current-gen MacBook Air 2020, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
During Prime Day 2019 in the US, we saw solid discounts on a range of laptops from budget to high-end. And the sales weren’t just on mainstream notebooks. There were also Prime Day laptop deals on gaming machines from MSI and Asus. We expect this year’s deals to be on par with last year’s.
Select Chromebooks could also see notable discounts this Prime Day, like our top pick, the Asus Chromebook Flip and the Google Pixelbook Go. Due to the budget laptop category dominance of Chromebooks, ChromeOS systems over $500 will likely see greater discounts. Amazon, for example, is currently taking $200 off the Core i7 model the PixelBook Go.
If you don’t want to wait for Amazon’s Prime Day sale, there are plenty of laptop deals you can get right now. Be sure to bookmark our Prime Day 2020 deals page for the retailer’s best mobile tech deals of the fall.
