FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day officially runs from July 16 to July 17, but there are tons of promotional deals leading up to the event, particularly on laptops and computer accessories.
Are there different laptop deals on Prime Day 2?
In short, yes and no. Invite-only Prime deals — or Lightning Deals — may be different each day. Amazon confirmed last month that new deals may surface as often as every five minutes on the site. As always, deals only last as long as Amazon decides, with Lightning Deals offering a countdown to their expiration, and other deals’ longevity depending on how fast products sell out (or don’t). It’s likely that as long as stock remains, many of the deals from Day 1 will remain live for Day 2, including deals on popular Amazon products such as laptops, Fire TVs, Kindles, Fire tablets, and Echo devices.
What’s the best gaming laptop deal on Prime Day?
There are lot of great gaming laptops on sale right now, but in our opinion, this deal on the Razer Blade 16 is the best. We’re talking $1,000 off one of the most high-end gaming laptops on the market, with hardware that is future-proofed to be relevant for years to come.
Is Amazon Prime Day a good time to buy a laptop?
Even though Amazon isn’t typically the first place you think of when you’re shopping for a new laptop, there are some great deals that pop up if you’re willing to look. We’ve thoroughly combed through the deals to find some diamonds in the rough, and listed the best ones here.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
At ZDNET, we only write about deals our team members would want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. We looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we recommend. These recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
