Apple MacBook Air (13in, M4): Was £999, now £849, Amazon.co.uk
Deals on the very latest Apple tech are rare, making this £150 discount on the new M4 MacBook Air worth shouting about. For £849, you get Apple’s latest and most powerful M4 chip, phenomenal battery life and an iconic lightweight design – tech critic David Phelan called it “preposterously slim, sharply designed and appealingly light” in his MacBook Air review.
Dell XPS 13: Was £1,249, now £999, Amazon.co.uk
Dubbed the best for battery life in IndyBest’s guide to top-rated laptops, this Dell device features the Snapdragon X Elite chip and a 13.4in screen. It’s practical and comfortable to use all day, but you only get two USB-C ports with this machine. The minimalist keyboard, haptic function row and invisible trackpad might split opinion, but you’re getting a striking piece of design at a discount with this deal.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3: Was £437.93, now £239.99, Amazon.co.uk
Now almost half price, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is a fantastic deal for anyone after a reliable everyday laptop. It’s a great-value workhorse from a trusted brand, running on a decent Intel Core i3 processor and 8GB of RAM – that’s plenty of power for browsing, emails and streaming, all for an unbeatable price.
Asus Zenbook 14 OLED: Was £949.99, now £849, Amazon.co.uk
You can save £100 on one of the best laptops I’ve tested in the Prime Day sale, the Asus Zenbook 14. While a modest 10 per cent discount, it's not often that it drops below £900, so the deal is well worth a look. One of my favourite features on this laptop is its stunning OLED display, which makes images and video shine. Plus, it’s capable of handling intensive tasks such as gaming and editing.
HP Chromebook 14in: Was £249.99, now £139.99, Amazon.co.uk
Perfect for students, kids, or anyone needing a simple, no-fuss laptop for browsing and writing, this HP Chromebook is a bargain at just £139.99. With a long battery life and Google’s straightforward web-based operating system, it’s a hassle-free and affordable alternative to more powerful laptops in the sale.
HP stream 14in: Was £149.99, now £119.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re in the market for an ultra-cheap Windows laptop, the HP Stream is a steal at just £119.99. It’s ideal for basic tasks like sending emails, working on documents, and watching videos, and this bonus discount makes it one of the best-value laptops you’ll find in the sale.
Asus Vivobook S14: Was £899.99, now £459.99, Amazon.co.uk
Here’s a giant saving on the excellent Asus Vivobook S14, which is superb value at £459.99. The powerful but slim 14in laptop runs on the latest Snapdragon X Plus processor, giving it improved energy efficiency and an impressive 20-hour battery life, while the 16GB of RAM can comfortably handle multitasking the most demanding software.
