When is Amazon Prime Day? 

Amazon Prime Day kicks off Tuesday, June 23 this year, and lasts until Friday, June 26. 

How did we choose these early Amazon Prime Day deals?

We see lots of laptop deals every Prime Day, but we only highlight devices that we’d actually buy ourselves. That means models we’ve either tested personally or are familiar with, and almost always from the major laptop brands, which have the most reliable devices in terms of product quality, build, and performance. 

We look for deals that are 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’re recommending. Our 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.
