  • Dell Inspiron 15, includes an Intel Core i7-1255U CPU and 1TB of SSD storage, £499.99 (£200 off at Dell)
  • LG Gram 16, includes an Intel Core i7-1360P CPU and weighs just under three pounds, £999.99 (£300 off at Best Buy)
  • Dell XPS 13, includes an Ultra 7 Processor 155H CPU and a 1200p 120Hz display, £1,149 (£250 off at Dell)
  • Dell XPS 14, includes an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU and 14.5-inch 3200×2000 OLED touch display, £2,099.99 (£400 off at Dell)

The above laptop deals are all fantastic, but a couple stand out. First is the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro, which has a beautiful OLED touchscreen and a fast Intel Core 7 Ultra 155H processor. In our review of this model, we gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and an Editor’s Choice badge. We were especially impressed with the OLED display, saying “the colour reproduction is outstanding.” We also liked how it stayed cool and quiet under heavier loads.

The other standout is the Dell XPS 14, a luxurious laptop with a stunning OLED touch display. The 14.5-inch 3200×2000 OLED display produces rich colours and deep blacks, making it perfect for entertainment and graphic design. It should also deliver fast performance thanks to the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, and the 32GB of RAM. Other features include a backlit keyboard and a 1080p webcam.

Prime Day 2024 deals on gaming laptops

  • HP Victus, includes an Intel Core i5-12450H CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 GPU, £599.99 (£100 off at Amazon)
  • Dell G15, includes a 165Hz 1080p display and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, £949.99 (£49.98 off at Amazon)
  • Asus TUF Gaming A15, includes an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU and an Nvidia GeForce 4060 GPU, £1,049 (£350.99 off at Amazon)
  • MSI Bravo 15, includes a 144Hz IPS display and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, £979.99 (£320 off at Newegg)
  • HP Victus, includes an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, £999.99 (£400 off at Best Buy)
  • Acer Nitro 16, includes an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, £1,499.99 (£300 off at Acer)

While all the deals above are great, the Dell G15 catches my eye because of its high refresh rate display. The 15.6-inch 1920×1080 display has a 165Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time, so visuals should be incredibly smooth. Also, thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, it should handle most games on High or Ultra graphics, especially if you use Nvidia’s DLSS technology in supported games.

Laptop deals FAQ

1. How do I pick a laptop for Prime Day 2024?

It depends on your needs and lifestyle. A 2-in-1, for example, is good for someone who travels often. You can turn the screen back 360 degrees and use it in tablet mode for taking notes or set it up like a tent for watching movies with others. If gaming is a priority, then you’ll want a laptop with powerful internal hardware and a high refresh rate display. For those who need a basic laptop for general web browsing, a low-powered Windows laptop should be fine.

2. How can I tell whether a laptop is a good Prime Day deal?

I use Camel Camel Camel, which is a pricing history platform. You can create a free account and the interface is easy to use. Let’s use the Asus VivoBook 16 as an example. Enter the ASIN, which is the part of the URL that starts with the letter B (B0BT6NKLQR in this case), into the search bar and hit search. Once the result comes up, scroll down and you’ll see a graph of its price history. You’ll see a big drop in price this month, the lowest price it has ever been. That’s a significant drop from the end of March when it was as high as £741.16.

3. Do laptop brands matter?

Not particularly when you’re looking for deals, as long as you stick to well-known names. All the big manufacturers like HP and Acer make reliable machines and they all offer good discounts on their online retail storefronts. You may have a personal preference, though. Dell, for example, has great customer service and their website is easy to navigate. As for HP, their back-to-school guide is straightforward.

4. How much memory do I need in a laptop?

I always tell my friends and family to aim for at least 8GB of RAM. Anything less and you may notice a slowdown. If you can go higher than 8GB, that’s great! The more RAM you have, the faster your laptop will be, especially for general browsing or making spreadsheets. 16GB of RAM is better for productivity tasks and gaming, and 32GB of RAM is perfect for photo editing.
