What is Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day sale that happens every summer for Amazon Prime members. It started yesterday on July 16 and ends tonight (July 17) at 11:59 PM pacific. It’s like Black Friday in the summer, as subscribers will be able to score deeply discounted items throughout the week. Some items may not be on sale for very long, so make sure you pick them up before they’re gone.
Is Prime Day the best time to shop for a laptop?
Prime Day offers a huge array of products on sale, and among those are laptops as well. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to Amazon for amazing deals. Frequently, outlets like Best Buy will offer incredibly competitive pricing during Prime Day. We also see Walmart doing the same. If you’re shopping for back-to-school season, Prime Day is a great time to grab a laptop at a discount, although Black Friday tends to offer the very lowest prices if you can hold out until the fall.
Are Prime Day laptop deals the same on Day 2?
Prime Day deals can be changeable, or expire, before Day 2 rolls around but generally speaking the bulk of deals launched on Day 1 of Prime Day will stick around for Day 2. Don’t delay much longer, though, as the sale ends July 17 at midnight PT.
What else should I buy during Prime Day?
Amazon will offer discounts on just about all of its categories. Big savings typically can be seen with Amazon smart home devices, tablets and TVs as well as with everyday items, fashion, fitness, home goods, kitchen gadgets and more.
