Amazon Prime Day Starts June 23, Driving 8 Early Laptop Deals From $699
3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 5
Summary
$699 to $1,909 early laptop offers are already live ahead of Amazon's Prime Day, with ZDNET highlighting eight picks it says it would personally recommend.
June 23 to June 26 is this year's Prime Day window—earlier than last year's July timing—which has pulled forward discounts on Windows laptops and Apple's latest MacBooks.
Lenovo's ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 carries one of the biggest cuts at $1,289, down $510 or 28%, while the Asus Vivobook 16 with Snapdragon X drops to $699.
Apple's M5 MacBook Air models also feature prominently, including the 15-inch at $1,149 and the 13-inch at $949, with higher-memory 24GB versions each discounted by $150.
ZDNET said it limited the list to recently released machines—mostly from 2026—and favored models it had tested or that rarely go on sale.
