Top 3 Notable Laptop Discounts for Prime Day - Boost Your Processing for Lower Costs
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is here, offering Prime members an exclusive opportunity to enjoy some of the best deals of the summer. Running from July 8-11, 2025[1], the event offers early and special access to a variety of discounts, including on laptops.
To shop the Prime Day deals, you must be a Prime member or sign up for one ahead of the event[1][2]. Amazon offers a monthly membership at £14.99 or an annual membership at £139, with additional discounted options available for young adults and qualifying government-assistance recipients[1]. You can also start with a free trial and cancel anytime if you decide not to continue.
One of the laptops on offer is the Apple MacBook Air M4, which is available at a discount during Prime Day. The MacBook Air M4, powered by Apple's super-powerful M4 chips, is currently available for £849 (originally £999), and the discount applies to both the 13in and 15in versions[1].
Another laptop receiving attention is the Dell XPS 13 9340, which features an invisible touchpad due to haptic tech, a flat-design keyboard, and light-up F-keys that have divided audiences[1]. The Dell XPS 13 9340 comes with a 512GB SSD and a decent screen, and is currently available at a discount, priced at £799 (originally £1,199)[1].
For those looking for low-cost laptop options, it's recommended to check the display specs before purchasing. Laptops with a "TN" screen should be approached with caution due to poor viewing angles[1].
The Microsoft Surface Laptop 15 is also available at a discount, priced at £1,249 (originally £2,149). The Surface Laptop 15 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon PC, which may have occasional compatibility issues with certain apps and accessories[1]. However, the discount is largely due to reduced fees on RAM and storage upgrades, effectively giving a doubling of RAM (to 32GB) and a quadrupling of storage (to 1TB) for free[1].
Amazon is also offering free or 99p trials for new or lapsed Prime subscribers to attract more people to a Prime subscription[1]. It's worth noting that not all deals during Prime Day are guaranteed to be the best, with some deals being questionable, similar to the seven-season run of Only Fools and Horses[1]. Nevertheless, there are several bargains to be found in the field of laptops.
