Best Prime Day laptop deals: Save up to $850 on MacBooks, gaming laptops - Mashable

Sad as it is, Prime Day 2026 is over. However, like every Prime Day event, there are still some deals that linger. If just today you've decided you need a laptop upgrade, you might still be luck for a nice discount.

The ongoing global RAM shortage has led most PC makers to raise their laptop prices this year. As of this week, that even includes Apple: All of its MacBooks are now at least $100 more expensive than they were at launch. ( Goodbye, $599 MacBook Neo. We hardly knew ye.)

Mercifully, Amazon offered some sweet RAMageddon relief during its annual Prime Day sale, but now that it's over, we still have a few leftover sales. MacBooks win for the best discount, but you can also find a few Windows laptops on sale.

As Mashable's resident expert on all things laptops, I have to tell you that Amazon carries a much smaller selection of Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks than other major retailers — especially Best Buy, which happens to be running a competing Tech Fest sale this week. I've rounded up Amazon's most worth-it laptop deals below that are still hanging on.

FYI: Deals marked with a 🔥 have fallen to record-low prices.

Best Prime Day MacBook deal still live

Powered by the M5 chip, Apple's sleek MacBook Air is faster than any other Windows laptop at its price point (and even many that are way more expensive). Its overall build quality also smokes most of the competition: It comes equipped with a luxe haptic touchpad, a sharp Liquid Retina display, and 12MP webcam. The 15-inch base model just got price-bumped to $1,499, but Amazon is selling it for $1,149.99 right now — a 23% savings. If it sells out there, you can find the same deal at Costco (and it's open to non-members).

Best Prime Day Windows laptop deal still live

Still hanging on after Prime Day is Amazon's sale price on the Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition. Matching the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, the Lenovo Slim 7i is down to $999.99, which is a $300 savings compared to the normal price of $1,299.99. With a 14-inch OLED display, 16GB memory, and a major 1TB storage, the Lenovo can get up to 34 hours of battery life before it needs a recharge. Since it weighs about three pounds and has a slim 0.55-inch profile, it could make for a great work laptop that's also travel worthy. The same applies for students who carry their laptop to campus.
