If you're looking for a new laptop for work, school, or your business, Amazon Prime Day is a great time to shop. There is a mix of Windows and Mac laptops (some of the best ultrabooks) on sale just in time for school, early holiday shopping, or just because you want to upgrade.

The best laptops prioritize battery life and performance. But beyond that, there are several form factors, from standard clamshells to convertible 2-in-1s and detachable tablets and keyboards.

Here are some of the best deals we've found so far this Prime Day:


We're happy to see that most of these deals have 16GB of RAM (with the exception of the MacBook Air from 2020). These days, that's the ground floor for a modern computer. If you go shopping for other laptops, at least keep that one spec in mind.

Several of these laptops are being pushed as AI machines — Copilot+ PCs on Windows or Apple Intelligence on Macs — but as of this writing, that's not a primary concern for most people, so don't worry too much about the marketing.

Long battery life, a clear display, a comfortable keyboard, and strong performance are key. Make sure the laptop you want has enough ports for all of your accessories, too.
