The best Amazon Prime Day laptop deals say that dreams can come true—that a laptop you couldn’t afford last week just may be attainable this week. There were few good deals on the mid-priced mainstream models (roughly $400 to $900) that fit into most people’s budgets already. But when a laptop that costs around $2,000 suddenly drops closer to $1,000, that’s a real deal.
Our top picks from Amazon Prime Day reflect that trend—as of midnight, the best two deals are in the high range. But they have the flair that warrants the cash: the Duo in particular has a unique two-display design.
To see everything else on sale right now, check out our round-up of the best Amazon Prime Day 2020 deals.
