The second Amazon Prime Day sales event of the year is here, and once again it offers discounts on MacBooks, Windows laptops, and various PC accessories. Like previous Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, this sale runs for two days and requires a Prime membership to qualify for most discounts. Some sale prices are open to anyone, and competing sales from Best Buy and other retailers often match or beat the discounts on Amazon without requiring a subscription.
The brand appears to be clearing inventory and rather than advertising these savings on their own site, they're unloading units under the radar on Amazon at historically low prices. This HP 17″ laptop (Intel Core i3, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11 Pro) has been chopped from $2,399 down to $699, a 71 percent discount that puts professional-grade computing in the budget of students and remote workers.
If you're in the market for a new laptop, be it your a student, a small business owner, or just someone who'd like to access the internet on something other than your phone, turn your attention to this Dell Inspiron 15. It's got touchscreen controls and comes with some free accessories. Amazon has it listed at $3,000, but is currently marked down to just $880. That's a whopping 71% discount equating to a savings of $2,120. That sounds too good to be true?
