We’ve gathered a handful of Prime Day laptop deals that are great for back-to-school preparation. Whether it’s needed for a first year in college or a particular high school class, there are some great discounts and sales on machines on the virtual Prime Day shelves that are going to be perfect for nailing the student life.
These won’t necessarily be the best gaming laptops, although we’ve thrown a few in here for good measure – you’ll need to check out our dedicated Prime Day gaming laptop deals page for more of those – but many of the laptops listed here are great options for doing some on-the-go homework and life-admin without breaking the bank. A great example of a terrific Prime Day laptop deal for back-to-school prep is the Acer Chromebook Spin which is currently under $200 at Amazon right now (opens in new tab). College can be expensive, so saving on a laptop can be a big help.
These Prime Day laptop deals will be gone by the time the day is over (some even earlier), so make sure to jump on the deal while you still can. And as always, you need Amazon Prime in order to purchase some of these deals. If you’re not already signed up then don’t worry, you can get a 30-day free trial (opens in new tab).
