Amazon’s Prime Day is finally upon us and unlike previous years, it runs for four days in 2025, so there’s no need to panic buy this time around. There’s plenty of time for you to do your research and bag yourself a proper bargain. On this page, we’re concentrating on the best laptop and tablet deals, so if you’re looking to refresh your ageing work laptop or need a new gaming machine, you’ve come to the right place.
As ever with laptops, however, it be tricky to judge which are the best deals – or, indeed, if they are deals at all – especially as there are so many different variants of each laptop model to choose from, each with a different level of specification and a different price. Never fear, though, because that’s where we come in.
Throughout this week , we’re going to be updating this live blog every time we spot a new deal on a laptop (or a tablet) that’s we think it is worth you checking out. So even if you don’t see anything straight away that piques your interest, keep coming back – we’ll be continually adding to the deals as and when we find them.
Amazon Prime Day savings are open to Prime subscribers only. The good news is that you can sign up to a 30-day free trial if you don’t want to commit to the monthly cost.
The best Prime Day laptop deals – LIVE
15:45 | 10 July – This Lenovo LOQ 15in gaming laptop is only £600
Gaming laptops are ten a penny in this year’s Prime Day summer sale but only a few are worth your time. This Lenovo is one of the better choices and although it only has an RTX 3050 on board, this should be powerful enough to play most games at the native resolution of its 1080p IPS 144Hz display.
If you want more power than this you should go for the Acer Nitro V 16 (see below) but there are reasons to choose the Lenovo instead. It comes with more RAM for starters – 24GB – and it has double the SSD storage, with a generous 1TB in capacity. Either is a great choice at this sort of money, though.
12:28 | 10 July – Amazon’s Fire HD 8 is incredibly cheap at £50
In case you hadn’t noticed already, pretty much ALL of Amazon’s products are heavily discounted every sales event and this Prime Day is no different. If you scan down this page, you’ll see the Fire HD 10 tablet has had its price slashed, its Ring Doorbells and Fire TV Stick 4K are cheaper this week and so are its TVs and soundbars.
The same holds for the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, which is currently £50, reduced from its “usual” price of £100. It’s a great deal at this price, especially for the kids, and makes a great pre-holiday purchase to keep them occupied at the airport or the back of the car.
But in case you’re in any doubt about buying it right now, there’s no need to rush because – although the price will rise after Prime Day ends – it will be this price again in October and November during Black Friday.
10:09 | 10 July – Grab an RTX 4050 gaming laptop for only £649
This time last year, you’d probably have struggled to find a gaming laptop based on a 40-series GPU for anything less than £1,000 but now that the 50-series GPUs have touched down, you can grab yourself a bargain. This Acer Nitro V16, for instance, is an absolute banger of a deal at £649 and comes with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050.
That’s backed up by an AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD and a decent IPS 165Hz 1,920 x 1,200 display. That’s a specification that should allow you to play most games and apps at a decent lick and although we haven’t revened this particular model, we’ve rated Acer’s Nitro laptops highly in the recent past, so have no hesitation in recommending this particular deal.
09:23 | 10 July – The Asus Zenbook A14 is now even cheaper on Prime Day 3
I wrote about the lightweight Zenbook A14 on Prime Day 1 when the price had been cut to a tempting £849, but it’s now Prime Day 3 and the price has been slashed again, but another £50. It’s now a mere £799, undercutting the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 and the M4 MacBook Air (see deals below) on price. Just to remind you this an ARM Windows laptop, so it won’t be for everyone – not every piece of legacy Windows software will run – but for a laptop this lovely, with great battery life and a lovely OLED screen, this really is a great price.
16:29 | 9 July – Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 reduced to £949
We liked the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 so much last year that we made it our laptop of the year. It’s no longer top of the heap but at the reduced price of £949 down from £1,412 this top-end 12-core Snapdragon X Elite model is a tempting purchase.
The chipset is backed up by 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, it comes with a sharp, vibrant 13.8in touchscreen and its clean design makes it one of the most desirable Windows laptops around.
One of the reasons we love the Surface Laptop 7 so much, however, is its repairability. It’s one of the easiest laptops to get inside and maintain, and many of the internal components are modular and simple to replace.
13:44 | 9 July – Asus Vivobook S14 S3497QA only £500, reduced from £816
When you’ve reviewed laptops for as long as I have, you get a nose for what constitutes a good deal and this Asus Vivobook laptop falls into exactly that category and what specifications go to make up a solid machine.
Here’s a 14in laptop with a sharp and bright 2,560 x 1,600 400 nit display. It has plenty of RAM at 16GB and a large 1TB SSD – the sort of storage you’d be paying Apple north of £1,300 for.
Most importantly, however, it’s powered by the super efficient Snadragon X Plus processor, which should deliver epic battery life. Indeed, Asus itself claims 20-hour battery life for this laptop and that’s a realistic claim based on my experience with other laptops built around the same chipset.
If, therefore, you need a laptop that will last a bit longer away from the mains than your average budget machine for a mere £500 (a saving of £316), then this Asus machine is a very good shout. Give it a look.
12:24 | 9 July – The cheapest Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series gaming laptop you can buy
If you’re looking for a decent gaming laptop on the (almost) cheap, this deal on the Acer Nitro V15 (ANV15-51) is a real stunner. Yes, the average price is £1,094 so £899 doesn’t represent that much of a discount, but given how much value the laptop offers in the first place, to cut anything off the price means it’s now an even bigger bargain than before.
It’s certainly the cheapest laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU inside we’ve seen and it’s backed up here by an Intel Core i7-13260H CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD.
We haven’t reviewed this particular model, but we have tested an Acer Nitro V15 recently and liked it a lot. And we’ve looked at a laptop with the RTX 5060 in it, too – the Asus A14 TUF Gaming – which blew us away with its performance. Those two things together mean we’re pretty confident this is a deal you do not want to shy away from.
11:54 | 9 July – The 13in Apple MacBook Air (M4, 2025) is only £849
I want to make very clear that this “Prime Day deal” on the M4 MacBook Air is nothing of the sort. The M4 MacBook Air has been £849 for a while now and current price does not move shift it lower, despite what Amazon would have you believe.
It would, however, be remiss of me not to mention it because although the price has not strictly been reduced for Prime Day deal, this is a great price on what is, in my opinion, the best all-round laptop currently on the market. It is powerful thanks to its M4 processor backed up by 16Gb of RAM and a 256GB SSD. It has great battery life, it is well made and comfortable to use, plus it has a sharp, vivid display.
In short, there is no better laptop – genuine Prime Day discount or not – that you can buy for this money. If you are in the market with this much to spend you owe it to yourself to consider – very seriously – the M4 MacBook Air.
09:04 | 9 July – MSI Vector 16 HX AI RTX 5070Ti gaming laptop now £1,599
This year’s flagship GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs from Nvidia are a radical step forward for gaming laptops, but so far prices have kept stubbornly high. This MSI machine, however, which comes with an RTX 5070Ti on board – and with it the ability to play AAA games at high detail levels – has a very tempting Prime Day discount on it, bringing the price down from an average of £1,759 to a much more reasonable £1,599.
It’s the lowest price we’ve seen yet on a 5070Ti machine and for that reason alone is worth considering. It is, however, well specified elsewhere, with a 16in 2,560 x 1,600 240Hz display, an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for storage.
16:55 | 8 July – Asus Chromebook CX34 now £237
Asus’s CX34 Chromebook has been around a few years now but it’s still a capable machine, especially at the newly reduced price of £237. For that money, the 14in IPS display is remarkably good, even if the Intel Core i3-1215U CPU is getting a little long in the tooth right now.
Still, it’s backed by a generous 8GB of RAM and a decent 128GB of storage, which is great for the money, and as it’s a Chromebook, the hardware demands are a lot lower than Windows laptops.
Importantly, where we’d hesitate to recommend most cheap Chromebooks, we’d still recommend this one to anyone who needs a day to day machine for lightweight tasks.
13:54 | 8 July – Asus Zenbook A14 now £849 (was £1,079)
The Asus Zenbook A14 is one of our favourite laptops of early 2025, mainly due to its incredibly light weight. This is a laptop that weighs a mere 980g and it really feels it when you pick it up, too.
It’s powered by the 8-core Snapdragon X processor, which means it’s responsive and has great battery life, and it comes with a wonderful 1,920 x 1,200 OLED screen as well.
At £849, it’s a lot of laptop for the money, we loved it when we reviewed it, and it’s a decent £230 off in this Prime Day deal.
09:47 | 8 July – 11in Apple iPad (2024) now £284 (was £308)
iPad’s never get massive discounts, even on Black Friday, but we’ll take any discount on an Apple device whenever we can get it and this one is pretty decent.
In fact, any time an iPad dips below the £300 mark is a day for celebration, especially as the tablet is so good to start with, especially as this is on the current model with the Apple A16 processor, not some ancient iPad resurrected from some long-forgotten dusty cupboard at Amazon HQ.
This deal is on the cheapest Wi-Fi only 128GB model, naturally, but either way it’s a great price on a tablet with the very best tablet app ecosystem around. You could even turn it into a budget-busting tablet if you added a Bluetooth keyboard.
08:25 | 8 July – Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (2024) now £679 (was £1,029)
The pick of the early Prime Day deals is on the 2024 Microsoft Surface Pro. It has been reduced in price from £1,029 to an extraordinarily low £679. That’s nearly half price, and the lowest price it’s ever been. And for that money, you’re getting a highly capable Windows tablet.
It’s underpinned by the efficient Snapdragon X Plus 10-core CPU, 16GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of storage. It performs well, is lovely to use and battery life is impressive at 17hrs 17mins in our tests. Note, this isn ‘t the OLED version, but the 13in touchscreen is still bright, sharp and won’t disappoint.
There is one catch: in order to turn this into the slim, lightweight productivity masterpiece it deserves to be, you’ll need to purchase the keyboard “Type Cover” to go with it. But that’s also on offer right now at a very reasonable £89, adding up to a total of £768 and still an absolute bargain.
11:03 | 7 July – Grab an early deal on the Amazon Fire HD 10
Amazon’s 10in Fire HD tablet hasn’t seen a significant update in two years but it’s still worth considering as a cheap device to keep the kids occupied, especially at the early Prime Day deal price of only £88.
That’s not huge news, as Amazon reduces the price on its own-brand products during ever sales event, but this price is unusually good. It’s pretty much half the price it is between sales and it comes bundled with a couple of screen protectors as well, to keep the screen from shattering when the inevitable happens.
