The best laptop deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale — last chance to shop record-low MacBooks
Table of Contents
I've spent the last three years as Mashable's resident laptop expert, a job I take very seriously. The fact of the matter is that a good computer usually isn't a cheap one, so I go to great lengths to make sure any laptop I recommend is worth the investment. Put another way: I'm very picky because I look bad if I tell you to buy an expensive machine that actually sucks.
I'm so picky that I also have opinions on where you should buy your laptop. Admittedly, Amazon usually isn't my first choice: It doesn't stock as many models as other tech retailers like Best Buy, and it's filled with listings from third-party sellers I don't fully trust. (They can have different customer service policies than Amazon itself, and they might be advertising misleading specs.) But there are always some good laptop deals available during Amazon's sitewide sales throughout the year — including its Big Spring Sale, which wraps up today, March 31.
The very best laptop deals I'm seeing on Amazon right now involve MacBooks, MacBooks, and more MacBooks. Almost every Apple laptop from the past two years is on sale, if it's still in stock, with the biggest price cuts going to a couple of M4 MacBook Airs. At $300 off, they're significantly cheaper than their iterative M5 replacements that Apple announced earlier this month. (Those are also on sale already, but only for about $50 off.)
The latest MacBook Pros have gotten much cheaper since the Big Spring Sale started on March 25, so congrats to any procrastinators out there. You can snag an M5 Pro or M5 Max model for up to $200 off; they were only $50 off last week.
Things are pretty stale on the Windows side, but I managed to find an Asus gaming convertible on sale for a record-low price.
I've rounded up all of my top picks below. Don't count on them sticking around past 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, when the Big Spring Sale officially ends. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price.

Why we like it
The 2025 MacBook Air is basically identical to its predecessor, save for its wireless chip and processor. (You're not missing out on much there: In our performance tests, the M4 version was only about six percent slower than the M5 model in both single- and multi-core workloads.) It features a vibrant Liquid Retina display, a backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage support. At $1,099, this 15-inch starlight model has never been cheaper.

Why we like it
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a zippy gaming convertible with a detachable keyboard and a buttery 180Hz display — GTA V's Ned Luke is a fan. This configuration is powered by a high-end AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with integrated graphics that performed on par with an RTX 4060 GPU when we tested it in another Asus laptop. Amazon has it marked down to $2,069.99, which is 14% off its MSRP and its best deal to date. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price; it actually retails for $2,399.99, according to Asus' website.) It also comes with a free PC download code for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' huge new fantasy-action adventure game.
This ROG Flow Z13 deal is price-matched at Best Buy, but it doesn't include the Crimson Desert code there.
