In the competition for the best early Prime Day laptop offers, the M4 MacBook Air has the upper hand. As Amazon prepares for its annual members-only event from July 8 to 11, the retail leader has slashed the price on Apple’s latest 13-inch model to just $849 (available in all colors). This reflects a $150 reduction from the M4 MacBook Air’s standard MSRP of $999, representing a significant discount for a popular laptop that was released only in March. I believe it will be hard for other laptop offers to compete with this one this Prime Day, though I’m open to any challenges.
For Windows laptops, I’ve noticed three models poised for record-low pricing ahead of Prime Day — featuring the 2025 Asus Zenbook Duo, an impressive dual-screen device. While it caters to a specific audience, if you’re a dedicated multitasker who doesn’t want to carry an external monitor, its current $200 discount is quite appealing.

When Prime Day 2025 officially kicks off, I anticipate more markdowns on gaming laptops from brands like Acer and Asus, mirroring trends from previous Prime Days. Most will likely spotlight Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series laptops, but my personal unicorns are deals on the new RTX 50 series models.
As Mashable’s in-house laptop expert (and someone who has been following Prime Day since 2019), I’d like to provide a few quick reminders for making informed purchasing decisions on significant investments like a new computer. First, steer clear of third-party sellers on Amazon, who may operate under different customer service guidelines or engage in questionable selling practices. Second, verify prices against other retailers to confirm Amazon’s discounts — it sometimes lists inaccurate MSRPs — to ensure you’re securing the best offer possible. Notably, Best Buy is Amazon’s main competitor regarding laptop deals. They’ll be hosting a Black Friday in July event concurrently with Prime Day from July 7 to 13.
Below, I’ve compiled the best early Prime Day laptop offers I’ve uncovered thus far. I intend to update my selections when Prime Day officially begins, so be sure to check back later. Note: Offers marked with a 🔥 have reached an all-time low.

Why we like it
Read Mashable’s complete review of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air (M4).
The new 13-inch MacBook Air is our top affordable recommendation for Apple users and a Mashable Choice Award winner. “It’s powerful, silent, and comes with several essential upgrades,” including an enhanced 12MP webcam and support for two external displays, said senior editor Stan Schroeder. He rated it at 4.5/5 overall.
Amazon’s $849 offer applies to the base version featuring 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Sky Blue model briefly dropped to an even lower $829 in late June, but I have no qualms endorsing it at the current price: It’s an excellent deal on a new laptop that’s already quite budget-friendly.
