"Amazon's October Prime Day has arrived, and with it, a host of laptop deals to wade through. I test laptops and watch deals all year round so that I can decipher which deals are worth springing for-and which should be skipped. There are lots of great discounts in this year's October event, also known as Amazon Big Deal Days, just in time for the holiday shopping season."
"The MacBook Air has been excellent for the past few years, but in the latest M4 generation, it's truly better than ever. The performance, battery life, keyboard, and display are all still top notch, and that hasn't changed. The GPU performance in particular took a big step up over the M3 chip. That alone would be reason enough to justify buying a MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends), but there's a few real improvements in this year's model that take it even further."
Amazon's October Prime Day, also called Amazon Big Deal Days, features many laptop discounts across categories including MacBooks, budget laptops, gaming systems, 2-in-1s, and Chromebooks. Deeper discounts appear because most new laptop launches are expected in 2026, creating price reductions on 2025-reviewed models. The M4 MacBook Air delivers notable improvements: stronger GPU performance, excellent battery life, refined keyboard and display, a 12-megapixel webcam with Center Stage and Desk View, and support for two external 4K displays at 144 Hz. The Surface Laptop remains a leading Windows option amid a diverse Windows ecosystem tailored to varied needs.
