You can find some significant savings at Amazon for the retailer’s Prime Day sale right now, but if you’re in the market for a laptop, you’re probably better off looking elsewhere. Even though Amazon has some good sales on laptops, some of the machines the retailer has discounted contain older processors or graphics cards. For those needing something more current or anyone wanting to stick to the bigger OEMs like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft, we’ve rounded up some of the best deals on PC notebooks for productivity, travel, and gaming.
