Best Prime Day Laptop Deals: Save Up to $500 (2026)
My favorite MacBook, gaming PC, and budget laptop are all on sale for Prime Day, some at the lowest prices I’ve seen in months.
During Prime Day 2026, laptop shoppers can save up to $500 on various devices. The MacBook Air (M5) is particularly noteworthy, being discounted by $200 to $1,099. This is the lowest price since June 2025, making it an excellent deal compared to competitors. The M5 model, launched this past spring, outperforms in my testing and has become my top recommendation for both MacBook and overall laptop purchases.
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 13.8-inch model also sees a significant discount of $500, dropping it from $1,596 to $1,096. This makes it more affordable than the previous 2024 model, which offered a slower Snapdragon chip. The Snapdragon X2 Elite GPU in the latest version justifies the extra cost.
HP's OmniBook 5 stands out as a budget laptop with a stunning OLED screen, thin design, and impressive battery life. Priced at $750 on Amazon during Prime Day, it offers twice the storage compared to the discounted HP.com model, totaling 512 GB.
Lenovo's LOQ 15 is an affordable gaming laptop that performs well for its price. The RTX 5050 configuration offers decent gaming performance, while the RTX 5060 model at Walmart, though slightly more expensive, delivers even better gaming experience. The Asus ZenBook A14, known for its light weight and OLED display, remains too expensive this year. However, the 2025 model with a Snapdragon X Plus, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB storage is a viable alternative.
