Amazon just dropped laptops of every type to clearance prices during the Prime Day sale

Popular Science...

Laptop list prices are mostly fiction, which makes a sale like this Prime Day a pain to navigate. A machine “marked down” 60 percent often wasn’t worth the original number anyway. Amazon’s Prime Day sale runs June 23 to 26, and nearly everything here needs a Prime membership or a free 30-day Prime trial. So I sorted the laptop and PC deals by their actual all-time-low price and ignored the fake percentages, featured picks first, then dozens more by type.

HP 17.3-inch Laptop (Intel i5, 12GB) $581.39 (was $1,461.51)

Big-screen everyday laptop at an all-time low

The HP 17.3-inch laptop at $581.39 is the everyday-computing pick of the sale, an all-time low on a big-screen machine for browsing, email, and office work. The 17-inch display is the draw, giving you room for two windows side by side without squinting. Inside is a 10-core Intel i5 with 12GB of RAM, enough for a heavy tab habit and light photo work. HP lists it far higher than it’s worth, so ignore the percentage and judge it on the $581 price, which is low for this much screen.

Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15.6-inch Laptop (Intel i5) $495.54 (was $1,059.99)

Reliable basics under $500, an all-time low

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 at $495.54 is the budget everyday laptop that covers the basics for under $500, an all-time low. It’s a 15.6-inch machine with a Core i5, fine for web, documents, and video, and light enough to move around the house. You won’t game on it or edit 4K footage, but most people don’t need to. The build is plain plastic, which is the trade for the price. Still, it’s an all-around great deal.

ASUS ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop (165Hz) $1,239.99 (was $2,099.99)

High-frame-rate gaming, an all-time low

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 at $1,239.99 is the gaming pick, an all-time low on a 16-inch machine with a 165Hz display. The fast screen and dedicated graphics push modern titles at high frame rates, and the 16:10 panel gives you extra vertical room for work between sessions. It runs hot and loud under load like every gaming laptop, so it lives on a desk more than a couch, but you can bring it on the road with you. At this price it’s one of the better gaming-laptop values of the event. Step down to the TUF F16 in the list to save a few hundred.

Acer Chromebook Plus 515 (15.6-inch) $339.99 (was $449.99)

Fast, simple web-first laptop, an all-time low

The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 at $339.99 is the cheap-and-easy pick for web-first users, an all-time low on a 15.6-inch Chromebook. ChromeOS boots fast, updates quietly, and runs everything through the browser plus Android apps, which is all a lot of people actually need. The Plus badge means it clears Google’s higher hardware bar, so it’s snappier than bargain Chromebooks. Heavy desktop software is out of its depth, but as a kid’s laptop or a travel machine it’s ideal.

Samsung Galaxy Book5 360 (15.6-inch 2-in-1) $899.99 (was $1,549.99)

Laptop that folds into a tablet, an all-time low

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 360 at $899.99 is the best 2-in-1 of the sale, an all-time low on a laptop that folds back into a tablet. The 360-degree hinge and touchscreen suit note-taking, drawing, or watching video, and it’s a Copilot+ PC with the AI features built in. At 15.6 inches it’s larger than most convertibles, so it doubles as a main laptop rather than a side device. Battery life is strong for the class.

Best Prime Day premium laptop and ultrabook deals

These are the premium laptops, led by the LG gram Pro 16-inch Lightweight Laptop at $1,799.99, 40% off. The Samsung 15.6” Galaxy Book5 360 Copilot at $949.99 is the most affordable pick here. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

Best Prime Day gaming laptop deals

For gaming laptops, the Alienware 16 Aurora at $2,099.99 is the most powerful pick of the sale, an all-time low on a machine with an RTX 5070 and 32GB of RAM, and the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 at $839.99 is the cheapest way into real frame rates. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

Best Prime Day budget laptop deals under $500

Two machines tie for the top of the budget list at $499.99, the HP OmniBook 3 16-inch and an ASUS Vivobook 16, and the floor is a $189.99 ASUS 15.6-inch that handles web, email, and word processing and not much else. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

Best Prime Day Chromebook deals

If all you do is live in a browser, a Chromebook is the cheap, low-maintenance call. The Acer Chromebook Plus 515 at $339.99 is the one I’d buy for a full 15-inch screen and Google’s higher Plus hardware bar, and the Lenovo Chromebook Duet at $219.99 doubles as a ChromeOS tablet. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

Best Prime Day desktop and all-in-one PC deals

On the desktop side, the MSI Codex R2 at $1,689.99 is the standout, an all-time low on an RTX 5070 gaming tower, and the Dell and HP all-in-ones are the pick if you’d rather have the computer built into the screen and skip the cable mess. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

More Prime Day laptop and PC deals

A few more laptops worth a scroll, led by the HP 17.3 Business Laptop at $849.99, an all-time low, down to the Acer Aspire 14 Copilot+ at $599.99. These lean toward big screens and new Snapdragon and Copilot+ AI machines. Ranked priciest to cheapest.

Prices move all through Prime Day, so check the current number before you commit. If you want the most laptop for the money, the HP 17.3-inch i5 at $581.39 is still the call, an all-time low on a big-screen machine that handles everything most people do. Gamers should jump to the Alienware 16 Aurora at $2,099.99, and if you’d rather have a desktop than a laptop, the Dell 27 all-in-one at $969.99 keeps it simple.
