I Test Laptops for a Living. These Are the Best Prime Day Deals I Recommend.

I’m one of Wirecutter’s resident laptop experts.

I’ve been covering this space since 2015, and I know it’s a particularly confusing time to buy a computer.

Microsoft and other Windows laptop makers are rolling out new “AI PCs” to compete with Apple’s MacBooks. You’ve probably seen a lot of jargon and untested claims about how these AI chips will give your computer the ability to generate useful text and images or otherwise improve your productivity or creativity.

Wirecutter has been busy testing new laptops as they’re released to compare them against our tried-and-true picks. After all, AI features might sound cool at the moment, but when you splurge on a new laptop, you expect it to be a reliable workhorse for years. And if you can find something that Wirecutter has tested and recommends on sale, that’s even better.

The Wirecutter Deals team has rounded up the best Prime Day deals on our favorite laptops—all of which have been vetted by our team through our extensive testing process and should last for years to come.
