Some of Amazon's best Prime Day laptop deals are still live — and one Asus model is now $10 cheaper
UPDATE: Oct. 10, 2024, 9:35 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with current pricing and availability now that Prime Big Deal Days is technically over.
Amazon isn't usually loaded with great laptop deals on any given day (especially compared to the competition), but things tend to pick up a bit during the retailer's major sitewide sales.
During this week's Prime Big Deal Days event — that would be Amazon's members-only "October Prime Day" sale on Oct. 8 and 9 — the Mashable Shopping team scouted some surprisingly great discounts on Apple MacBooks, Windows PCs, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks.
A lot of the best Prime Day laptop deals have since expired now that the sale is over, but latecomers aren't completely SOL. Record lows on the M2 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Pro were still up for grabs at the time of writing, and the Asus Zenbook Duo (Mashable's favorite dual-screen laptop) has gotten $10 cheaper, reaching a new all-time low of its own.
Below, we go deeper on specs and pricing. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M2).
The previous-generation MacBook Air from mid-2022 earned a 4.6/5 rating from Tech and Games Reporter Alex Perry, who commended its "[rock]-solid battery life," "dreamy keyboard," and peppy M2 chip. It has "enough horsepower to handle everyday tasks with ease," he wrote. It's a Mashable Choice Award winner and the MacBook we recommend for shoppers on a budget — especially now that it's hit this all-time low price.

Another Mashable Choice Award winner, this unique laptop is "a dual-display beauty that can support all of your app-juggling needs," wrote Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon. She gave it an excellent 4.8/5 rating, commending its stunning twin OLED screens, "decent battery life," and solid overall value. (It has a built-in kickstand, and it ships with a free detachable keyboard and stylus.) The base configuration with an M2-rivaling Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU is now on sale for $1,264.99, which is a $10 drop since Prime Big Deal Days and a new record low.

Best gaming laptop deal
$999.99 Save $200
Why we like it
The Nitro 16 is a big-screened budget gaming laptop that's equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU from early 2023, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, a flashy RGB backlit keyboard, and a 165Hz display. Its measly 8GB of memory is a drawback, but that's totally workable if you only plan on playing lower-end games like Fortnite and Minecraft. (Otherwise, you can put your savings towards a memory upgrade.) At $799.99, it's 20% off and about $64 away from its lowest price ever.
