This week's Prime Day sale at Amazon features hundreds of price cuts on laptops of all shapes and sizes. You would expect that, given it's the biggest sale of the year at the retailer. Between you and me, however, I usually find rival retailer sales to offer just as good discounts.
In fact, having scanned through various sales, I'd say retailers like Dell, Best Buy, and Walmart are really giving Amazon a run for its money during its big day.
Just below, you can see 13 laptop deals that you won't find on Amazon today, with options starting at just $159. That includes Chromebooks, cheap Windows 11 options, and plenty of gaming laptops. Yes, even gaming laptops have relatively good deals today, despite the ongoing RAM crisis.
Highlights include the Dell 14 Plus (one of our favorite mid-range laptops) for $799 (was $1,419), the Dell XPS 13 for $999 (was $1,399), and this RTX 5070-equipped MSI Cyborg gaming laptop for $1,089 (was 1,599) at Walmart.
I'd also highlight the latest MacBook Air 13 for $949 (was $1,099) at Best Buy as another great option because the retailer's trade-in program is really solid. You can see all of these deals, and other 'anti-Prime Day' listings, just down below.
